I had "pit" seating for this show, meaning the first several rows in front of the stage were removed for standing room only. This works fine provided the area isn't oversold, which in this case it was. It was also learned after the fact that some Modest Mouse fans Photoshopped lawn seats to read as "Pit" seats so they could gain entrance to that area. It was so packed people couldn't move. Some people such as myself were even denied re-entry once we left the pit area and tried to return. So I paid in excess of 80 fucking dollars for fanclub seating only to be denied the privilege of being able to stand in the area I paid so much for. Great show but definitely an unpleasant experience on the seating front, one I hope I never have to repeat.

I saw James Taylor, he's still got it at age 60. He's better
than he's ever been, no doubt.

I've heard he's been doing the exact same setlist with the same exact stage banter for years now. I do hope he's changed that up for this current tour.

It was different this time around, he has a album of cover songs
coming out later on this year and it's being promoted on the
current 2008 tour. When I saw him, his setlist was all covers
pretty much. He squeezed in a couple of the big ones with them ..
Carolina in my Mind, You've got a Friend, etc.
