That's simply awesome. If I could afford it I would attend all those dates.

This might be worth a trip right before MDF...

 

[Angrafan]

This is fucking awesome! I need to see this!

I was planing on going to Chile to see Anathema with Anneke... But I've seen Anneke over 10 times already... Blackfield would be a first for me.

Park West for the Chicago show is an odd choice for this show. Though I never heard of Blackfield so it may not be as odd of a choice as it sounds. They just rarely do metal shows there.

No metal to be found on this tour. Just two awesome bands.

Park West is one of the best venues I've ever been to. I think Blackfield will be absolutely spot on there.

 

[AngraRULES]

Yes yes yes yes!!!!!

 

[J. Golden]

Damnit, as excitement builds I then is not dates near by... Figures

 

[KingsGene]

Park West is where Porcupine Tree recorded one of their live DVDs. I must now go to this show....

EDIT: Tix purchased!

 

[TychoCelchu]

Oh, wow! Sold! No way am I missing this now! Great for Anathema, they really do deserve some breaks. I also heard they're going to open for Dream Theater's European shows this summer?

 

[DADRocks]

Damn you Glenn, if they didn't make your Best Of last year, I wouldn't know who they were and wouldn't of fell in love with that cd and would care if I went. Must get tix now!!!!!!

I've been there once. It's a very laid back atmosphere and honestly, it works very well for this show. I so wish they released this info earlier, because I probably would have gone as I just think Blackfield is just okay.

Edit: I misread the date. Now I'm just debating as I'm still trying to cut down on shows this year.

I'm going for Anathema, what Blackfield cd should I get? Suggestions please.

Out of curiosity, which other shows do you have in your list this year that take preference over this one?

This show for me is one of the highest priority shows of the year, for instance...

Volbeat last weekend, Amon Amarth and Rammstein. Earlier this year Gamma Ray and Immortal. Mainly though, the reason I have been cutting down this year is so I can make it down for Progpower this year and so I have some moolah to spend that weekend as well. Like I said, I just find Blackfield to be okay and have enjoyed a tune or so, but I don't have anything by them. If I were to go to this, Anathema would be the draw for me.

Quit buying all those designer socks you always get and go to more shows. Go to this show....this is a show that isnt going to come around often. Bands like Amon Amarth are great but missing them isnt as painful as missing a band that rarely comes to the states oppossed to a band that hits the US like 2 or 3 times a year.
