i picked up tix to this show...ive never seen those 4 on stage together, should be a good time, hopefully they play some Illusion era stuff.

[Stoned_In_L.A.]

Very cool news! I may consider traveling for this.

I wonder if this reunion was intentionally planned so close to the 20 year anniversary of the Illusions.

Out of curiosity, why is this considered VR news?

[LongGoneDay]

Should be a cool show.

Had the tickets in the queue, but didn't pull the trigger.
If Izzy were there I'd be all in.

Out of curiosity, why is this considered VR news?

Probably because 3 of those guys are currently in VR.

[Trist805]

Wow that sounds badass.  Wish I lived on the East Coast.   

[Top-Hatted One]

+1 for soundcheck/GA.

awesome dude, I was gonna do that but im seeing Avenged Sevenfold 3 times the week before, and The Big 4 Show the day after, I have to draw the line cash wise somewhere...haha

[cotis]

I actually DIDN'T pull the trigger yet - and am mulling over the VIP Balcony thing....to meet everyone, that would be pretty sweet.

Though I have the fear that it will be a rushed M&G kinda thing...

no i mean I never saw them on stage together in person..

[stvyrayvhn]

I bought 2 tickets for the soundcheck/GA.  If I'd known about this awhile back I would have saved up for the VIP, they are tax deductible up to $400 and I need the deductions!!  I would have loved to have gone to the meet and greet.

[cotis]

I've decided to do the VIP for this - once in a lifetime kind of thing, IMO...

[Jay Tea]

my friend at the venue said this is half way sold out already. get tix soon.
I got got my ticket last night just before watching Reel Big Fish there hahaha.

[Shotgun Blues]

Did anyone find out additional info on this gig? How many songs will they play together?I grabbed a ticket last week.Is there an opening act? ticket says 8

[stvyrayvhn]

I haven't heard anything, I have 2 tickets.  I know of 2 other friends that already have tix as well.

[reayj2003]

Just made the plunge, headed from London to NYC for this. Splashed out on the VIP ticket! Gonna be great to meet the guys and get stuff signed. Any board members going and want to share a beer??

[stvyrayvhn]

I am going but I don't think you'll find much beer at the "Road to Recovery" benefit concert.  Just sayin'...
