| I'd like to see some more dates come, but if not I don't mind going to New York, it'll be worth it. |

And historically they always break up at the end of a USA tour, so shall we expect this reunion to be very short lived then? No seriously, Mr. Fripp's explanations of the USA-only thing are that in the US they (KC) are perceived as a modern (current) band, like Tool, whereas in Europe they supposedly think of KC as classic rock artists like Yes, so they expect them to play "In the Court...", "Starless", etc.
The other criteria was that Europe = many countries = much paperwork to travel. USA = one country = less paperwork to travel.
In any case, if they make it down to South America (reaaally unlikely) I'll be sure NOT to request "Vrooom" or "Thrak" since those are already oldies!!!
Cheers, J.-

Is anyone interested in a pair of tickets to the August 16 concert at the Nokia Theatre? I discovered after I purchased the tickets that my wife & I cannot attend; we quickly purchased tickets to the Aug 17 show, but now I have this pair available.
Please let me know - thanks!
