    Steven Wilson's last stand ( Blackfield)

    Wilson's last show with Blackfield, and their only Us show. May 1, Best Buy, NYC. Anyone else up for this? Tickets go on sale this week.

    With John Wesley. Interesting. I'm in. $25 bucks, no-brainer.
    From the new album, a few weeks ago-

    Absolutely want to go- I'm thinking the tickets are going to be sold out very quickly though. What day do they go on sale? I tired looking it up yesterday but it was not on BB Theaters site yet.

    So I just checked the Best Buy Theater site, and they are advertising a presale Thursday March 13. Does anyone know how to get in on the pre-sale? Who is allowed to pre-buy?

    Meh, His band spoiled me. No way any rock band operating today can be as good THAT. Everything else will be several steps down. Any news on a full DVD/blu-ray coming of the last tour that just concluded.

    While I find some commonality in your sentiment (in that my fondness for PTree has severely diminished since the last two SW solo albums & tours), one has to remember that ALL of the SW projects bring something different to the table. Having seen Blackfiend at the height of their powers (the II tour), I'd see the NY show in a heartbeat if it were being presented in SoCal.

    It can be unfair to pit the SW projects against one another when the overall quality remains strong despite their differences, this coming from one who probably listens to no-man more than any of the other stuff.

    I saw Blackfield in Philly during their last tour, DNA, and it really blew me away. I was surprised how much I enjoy Aviv, too, I think they're a great duo and the live show was outstanding. I doubt I can swing this on a Thursday, coming from Colorado, but I totally would like to!

    I would go if I didn't have to drive 3,500 kms.

    Regards,

    ALL tickets are GA. Those $30- ones would be price day of show. I will wait till tomorrow and go to the box office thus saving $9.50 (??) "convenience" charge, or whatever they call that B.S. these days AND save the even more outrageous $5- (???) USPS delivery method (thought stamps are .49) OR the (WTF????) $6- will call fee. SIX DOLLARS for them to NOT deliver the tix by mail. ???

    I got mine at the box office yesterday. 4 for $100 is a good deal, in my book. The last solo show didn't sell out, so I don't see a hurry to buy.
