Oh man! Why is it so expensive to travel within Canada?! I can buy a return flight to London for less than it costs to fly across the country here.

I suppose it's not out of the realm they add them late to the Lollapalooza lineup. I imagine Thursday of the festival is the weakest in attendance and individual day ticket sales. Could be a slight boost.

I don't know though dude. I despise that fest. Just like Coachella, it's a total shell of what it used to be/represent. But at least Coachella has a superb location, and the some of friendliest weather a festival attendee could ask for. To be honest I was a bit relieved they were not on the Lollapalooza lineup, and I'm dying here just like most of you for a Chicago date.

For what it's worth I delved into Chicago concert schedules and there is a lot of empty dates at all the usual suspected venues. Maybe an in-week type show before or after the Lolla shit-show and afterparties hit the Chicago scene? Either way, I'm pretty sure our time will come. I just wish it was more transparent.

It definitely was amazing, ill never forget the blinking eyes during it began in africa.

I actually met Tom and Ed that day, and my experience was on the old site where it would share fan stories.

I had gone in the afternoon with intentions of meeting them, parked my car out back by hte loading trucks and i was literally there maybe 10 minutes and a Volkswagon Jetta pulled up next to my car with Tom in the Passenger Seat and Ed was laying across the back seat....needless to say I chatted a bit with them and they signed my CD and it was the greatest moment ever.

Until someone stole my signed cd a few years later......been waiting 17 years for another signature.....

Right now I'm looking at London in May. Flights to Montreal are +$600 plus outrageous festival price, or flights to the UK for roughly $800 and cheaper show tix. Plus the All Points East Friday night has Primal Scream, Spiritualized and Hot Chip!

Keep in mind that day passes for Osheaga will be available, they always release them about 2 months before the festival, i guess they try to trick people in thinking there wont be any at first.

I myself am also holding out for another Canadian show, i have the montreal hotel booked but im not buying festival passes until i know for sure thats my only option.

I would love to go to the US shows, but unfortunately border patrol wont let me in....

Bummer!!

Yeah I know about the later release for single day passes but I don't remember seeing a single other act I'd be interested in, unlike the London show. My wife and I were already planning a trip to the UK this fall but decided we might just bump it up for this show. Ironically it was the Osheaga announcement that started it haha
Title: Re: CANADA!!!!
Post by: Bosco on May 22, 2019, 19:39
Trying to stay optimistic... Been investigating the coordination of Osheaga and New York show. Amtrak (train) has the Adirondack line which will take you to and from New York and City to Montreal, all at totally reasonable price ($70!). It's also supposedly one of the most reputable and scenic amongst locomotive trip enthusiast. The downside being it's a 10.5 hour trip, which is a full day commitment. But the schedule between chems shows, August 1st and August 3rd, totally allows it.

That being said, fuck me, I hate the cost of a hotel.

Please pray for me that my daughter is born before the Aug 3rd.

I'm not religious but I'll make an exception!

Dear Lord, I pray to you, please let his daughter come within the next 4 weeks. Let daughter and mother be healthy and wealthy and this nice Canadian chap be able to embark on his chemical pilgrimage on the Third of August. (And while we're at it, I wouldn't say no to one more German gig, thank you!). A-man!

Was totally worth seeing them again. Tracklist was the same as the NY show but the renditions had some slight differences. The only issue was that the middle frequencies were muted compared to the others which made it a bit tricky to pick out some of the vocals and instrumentation but this apparently was a broader problem with a lot of the acts that played on this stage.

Crowd was good for their set, hopefully it will encourage them to tour East Coast Canada more often.

Dream come true. Still processing that night, but it was amazing.

Will post some pics as I got some good ones. Just sorting through them all, was right up in the front maybe 10 people back from the barricade.

Loved that the crowd was so into it, Ed and Tom genuinely looked amazed everyone was having a good time and very appreciative. Watching them at times I saw Tom say to ed at least twice WOW and pointed at the crowd.

I do owe her big time, she knows this. I called her after the show and must have been delirious as i was talking to her as I told her i loved her several times and her answer to that was "are you drunk" which surprisingly I wasnt just in case I had to drive the hell home.

I can honestly say though that the whole day I was a mess, worst anxiety ever the whole drive there thinking that something was going to happen, I called the wife too many times and was aparently annoying her at one point cause she was trying to sleep. But the prayers worked, and my daughter is still not here! Ah well this week at some point I guess, the chemical gods were looking out.
