Looks like the YYY gig is falling apart.

Cold War Kids at HOB San Diego -- 8/15.
Tickets on sale Friday (via Casbah's Frontgate ticket portal)

They were still avail after 15 minutes ... didn't really check after that. But they were gone after 2 hours. Easier than expected.

Not that I agree, but:
-- to discourage people from waiting hours and hours in advance
-- line-cutters don't gain anything

glad that they rewarded a few hardcore fans waiting at the front.

probably not gonna happen. there were signs asking people not to take pics or videos. of course many did not abide, especially early on.
but after cave called out some people using iphones, most of...

"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
And suck my dick, because If you don't you're gonna be dead"
hard to explain. it was acted out with this giant dude in the audience. ...

My personal favorite was Stagger Lee ... especially the part where Cave had that giant dude from the audience performing fellatio on him ... multiple times.

I don't know if it's an error but the Dylan site says presale for the CA shows start at 10am EDT, not PST.

Think i met one of you. Got a lyric sheet too. Didn't know what I had. Epic show. My favorite venue. A perfect night.

btw ... resale is this saturday night @ 1am PST (9am GMT).

Just got slayed by Nick Cave.
Got a setlist, but he deviated from it. Here is a mostly correct SD setlist:

1. We No Who U R
2. Jubilee Street
3. Wide Lovely Eyes
4. Higgs Boson Blues
5....

Isn't that the one from last year or 2011?
If not, then it looks very similar.

So while weekend 1'ers were tucked in bed last Thursday night, the Knife released a small amount of tix to the Roundhouse gigs (anyone signed up to the Knife newsletter can confirm) @ 1am.

For anyone going to the SD show tonight, you may want to show up on time. I emailed the box office regarding set times. This was their response:

It had the formula for a quick sellout:

wow. they went fast. was able to get Sat, but checked 30 sec later and pulled nothing.

Some sources say Observatory has a capacity of 972, others 550. When I was at the CWK show, seemed more like 1000 than 550.
Still a large percentage on secondary market.

I have no clue. Remember when they were one of the openers for 94/9's SPF festival in Oceanside back in June?
It's like 2011 when Foster the People were playing back and forth between SD and LA...

No SD shows were part of the GV pre/mid-chella block of shows. There were a few Coachchella bands that played later in SD, but they were announced way in advance like the Hives show at the Belly Up. ...
