couldn't see a thread for this, apologies if i overlooked it.

i'd dearly like to go to the first show back in chicago but oh the expense and the supporting line-up is fantastically horrible.

still, one of my favourite bands of all time are back playing live...rumours of more dates maybe even in europe... is this a really terrible, unwanted reunion? are people excited? are people gonna go? opinions!
