These tracks are really growing on me....i was a bit skeptical at first...but I've just cranking "Broken, Beat & Scarred" on top volume and its definately kicking ass like old school metallica!

The great gig in the sky is one of the most beautiful things ever recorded I think!

Not sure how it works in the usa...but it's also fucked in australia. What needs to go here are all the 'special' ways to buy tickets before the "public" onsale date. When a band goes on sale here it's like this:

1. Presumabely some tickets are kept by the promoter for competitions and thr band and so forth.
2. There is an internet pre-sale date where a portion of each section of the venue is sold online before the offical street date.
3. Prior to that there is a "pre-sale" for customer's of our major phone companies who are in bed with the ticket companies.
4. Prior to that there there is "pre-sale" for visa-preferred customers who pay a premium price for "preffered" tickets - but you don't know where they are when you buy them.
5. Prior to that there is a pre-sale for "privlage club" members of the ticket company - where you pay over $100 a year just to sometimes get this sale info.
6. Sometimes there are band fan club pre-sales as well
7. Then we get to the actual sale date - wherre the rest go online or in person.

ITs really fucked...appart from the insanity of claiming that that 7th time is when the show "goes on sale" - it's also retarded for fans - like if u really want good seats..how do u know which sale to go for...as some are held for each kind....i start wondering if visa has better seats than privliage club and so on...it's really insane.

YEah i'd kill to have the whole show shot pro like that!
