Verve Pipe Live CD on the way?

The Big news last night was the return of A J Dunning to guitar!
Here is MLIVE's review of last night's Verve Pipe show.

What the article DOESN'T mention is that Brian indicated early in the show that they were recording - so I guess we might see a Verve Pipe live CD in the near future?

The only disappointment for me; and I'm really not one for XMAS songs, but the last several years the set ended with a XMAS song and this year it did not.

I will be doing a more in-depth review for my weekly email.
Email me at JZID@SPAM.LA if you are interested!

UPDATE: The show has been recorded, but I don't think the intention was for a live CD release.
In fact, you can download the whole show at this link!

Queensrÿche coming to Grand Rapids

Queensrÿche is coming to the Intersection to promote their upcoming album AMERICAN SOLDIER. (Due in March)

Here are the details:

The Intersection

05-05-2009 20:00 at
133 Grandville Ave, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49504
Cost: $25

18+ welcome. $25 tickets. Doors 7pm. Show 8pm

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I went to purchase tickets from ticketmaster for the upcoming Verve Pipe show and these were the fees:

Item Charge Tickets (The Verve Pipe) ADVANCE TICEKT AGE 18+ US $15.00 x 2 Total Building Facility Charge(s) US $0.50 x 2 Total Convenience Charge(s)

US $6.15 x 2

Order Processing Charge(s) US $4.35 Standard Mail

No Charge

TOTAL CHARGES US $47.65

Plus they wanted to charge me more to print out the tickets as oppose to mail them to me! (Does that make any sense?)

I was wondering what the cheapest way for me to get tickets is- I don't want to get them through ticketmaster, I hope all these "extra fees" are because of them and not because of The Intersection. I've attended the Verve Pipe Xmas shows for the last few years, and don't every recall the fees being this ridculous!

In addition, ticketmaster is giving me the option of paying an additinal $6.00 per ticket for "ticket insurance" - I don't remember going to show being this complicated at last year's show???????

If I'm going to pay all these extra fees, I'd PREFER THEY GO TO THE ARTIST INSTEAD OF TICKETMASTER!

Thanks
