Matador Anniversary Show

[Christina]

wow.

[Big Plastic Head]

It would be oh so unfair if any of these bands were playing at the same time as any of the others. It would be agony having to choose which ones to see and which to skip. Amazing line-up really.

[courtney]

Eh. Meh. Ged.

[Paul DePhiladelphia]

Las Vegas?

I hope this will spark a B&S American tour.

Las Vegas?

I hope this will spark a B&S American tour.

They already have dates lined up for the fall. Tickets for the Chicago show were going to be around $50 so I passed.

Nothing will stop me from attending this event. I am going for Guided By Voices alone. The rest is just gravy compared to GBV. Considerable gravy, yes, but gravy nonetheless.

What constitutes the "classic" GBV lineup? Pollard/Sprout/Mitchell/Demos/Fennell? Jim Greer instead of Demos? Will Jimmy Pollard be in there somewhere? That band, playing material from that era...I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

[DanFromBrooklyn]

Seriously thinking about making the trip for this. Seeing GBV alone is worth it.

[JonFromMaplewood]

I'm going for the $5,000,000 Progressive Jackpot Slots at Binions.

Shoot no Philly show. Maybe they will expand over November. I'd love to see them at the Merriam or Academy of Music.

[Kid Pain]

is there any way a ticket to this event will go for less than 500 dollars?

You nailed it.

"We got the band back together. Not the original line-up -- the classic line-up," Pollard tells Spinner. "It's better than the original line-up: Tobin Sprout and Mitch Mitchell [guitars], Kevin Fennel [drums] and Greg Demos [bass]."

[badgrammer]

Yeah --so many awesome shows in the late sept/early oct period, including Gonerfest. I really, really want to know how much tickets are for this! I'm guess the airfare/lodging would be fairly cheap since it's Vegas, but yeah the ticket price might be the kicker for me.

[buffcoat]

What about Neutral Milk Hotel?

[Big Plastic Head]

My wife told me I "should" go. She will be 8 months pregnant at the time.


I think it's a trap.
