I would hate to lay down all that money only to find out that there is a NYC plan in the works... After the Irving Plaza show back in July, there is no doubt in my mind that they could sell out both nights quickly... SO, does anyone have any "insider information" that might help me make this decision....PLEASE HELP!!!!

I wanted to get there early to see D Generation, who were enjoying minor success with a single called 'No Way Out'. So we did, get there early that is. I couldn't have cared less about Our Lady Peace - some christian rock band I'd never heard of, but they'd give us time to get drinks and find our seats...
Well, needless to say - my life changed that night, OLP destroyed the room - they were unbelievable... I sat through the set just in shock at what I was hearing, and then to my surprise, they played Starseed - a song I'd heard once or twice on the radio and loved but had no idea who sang it. One of the best shows I've ever been to. Bought Naveed the next day.
As far as Tramps, no - didn't even know they played there - but I loved that venue - saw a ton of great shows there, including the Foo Fighters first NYC performance, when they opened for Mike Watt and Friends supporting Ball Hog or TugBoat. The Elbow Room show (the only time I've ever been there) was mostly industry, but I was fortunate enough to win tickets from the Transparent Humans board. The only Naveed shows I saw were The Ramones show, the Wetlands show and the Bryant Park K-Rock show (or was it Q104.3?)... The Wetlands show was the single best concert I'd ever been to until the Spiritual Machines Irving Plaza show...

Saw a few great shows there, including seeing Therapy? (remember them?) one of the few times they played the states...
The only tour of OLP's I've missed a show on since then though, was the Happiness show at Hammerstein... still regret not being able to go...

My first show was in Port Chester at the old Capitol Theatre...I was an intern for the X107 radio station at the time. Was lucky to see every NYC show (every tri-state area show for that matter!) after that up until 2001 Irving shows, which happened on the same day my mom passed away.
Amazing how 15 years have passed and I am still hooked.
OH yeah, those shows with Creed and 3EB were certainly painful. I remember walking out of Irving Plaza right after Creed...which shocked the hell out of a security guard. I told him the best band had already played!
I hope you NY'ers get some more OLP love soon!
Peace.
