Yes, and I had tickets, and it was a huge pain to get a refund. No refund on the 'convenience' fees from Ticketmaster, either.

I have gone to DMB every year, for years and years.... But tonight's weather is a prime example of why I don't want to buy tickets to an outdoor concert in April! No worries, there are always plenty of great shows.

arguably the most overrated band of the last 20 years.
lacking in almost every way.....lead singer voice....instrument playing skills....melody.

I might get badly bashed here........but what is it in this band that makes you want to see them live ? what is it that you really enjoy when you listen to U2 ???

No bashing but is a band really "overrated" when they continue to break records and sell out shows with ticket prices that can be over $200? This happens every time they tour, it's not a fluke. U2 has been around for 30+ years so there has to be something to that right?

I like U2 but I have a few favorites above them like Radiohead, Coldplay, and DMB. If I had to make a top 10 list of albums I'd put Joshua Tree in the top 3. All that said I am not a huge fan of the latest release "No Line on the Horizon". That's no reason to stay away from this tour though, they have a huge catalog of hits that they'll play in addition to the new stuff, their live performance are what I call a music experience, they really put on a good show in many aspects (sound, lighting, stage set, etc.), and there is always the chance the album will grown on me by September.

Joshua Tree is a fantastic album. I am hoping they don't go crazy with their newer albums so we get plenty of the old greats. Bullet the Blue Sky and In God's Country are two of my personal favorites that are far from overrated Have been waiting for years to see them..yippee!!
