Clumsy/Spiritual Machines Tour

So Trustworthy...

Let's say ticket sales for a certain city are totally sucking. Is there any chance of a cancellation? Or will it be moved to a different venue? Essentially...what's the plan if tickets don't sell well for a particular city?

Why are you so negative on OLP?

I get that from you from all of your posts.

I doubt they not sell. They are playing places that fans can get too.
This tour is making alot of people happy and will do good. This just may bring some old timers out of the woodwork..

Hey TW

Will the poster be like the ones artist seem to have now.?

Handpainted or drawn with ciry, venue and date of show on it. HMM> I think so..

From that post?

There's still absolutely awesome tickets available for some shows. That worries me that they're not selling well on the first day....

I DEFINITELY don't want to see shows cancelled. I'm excited for this tour. But I just want to know what the plan is in case of poor ticket sales. There's nothing worse than having tickets in hand for a concert, and having it cancelled

. I'm hoping there's a back up plan JUST IN CASE sales aren't what they're expected to be.

It is only pre-sale
It is first day
It is right before X-mas
People do not have money right now
Shows are months off

I could go on..I would not worry about shows being cancelled..

I am 25, Shanae, so yeah, that would seem creepy. I'll write a big CM on my hands so people can recognize me. I'll be in the second row for Clumsy, and front row for SM!

TW, you are making me really pumped up for the stuff!

You know what would be the coolest "bonus" we could get?

Do you?

Want to guess?

...

Limited edition (i.e. one time only) CD of b-sides.

!!!!!

Also, I second the whole not being afraid about ticket sales thing. I went onto the sight for my city, and within a few minutes I was back a few rows when checking things out this afternoon. I think the first 12 or 13 rows are sold for Regina for Clumsy, and that's with like 50 -60 seats per row. So already around 600-700 sold. And the first few rows of each balcony as well (3 balconies).

I'm not worried.

laurel · Post by **laurel** » 12/11/2009, 6:53 pm

I can still find tickets in the 7th row for Clumsy, and the 3rd row for the Spiritual Machines night in Regina.

That's why I was asking. Also, I think it is a valid question to ask.

i would not worry about ticket sales, you guys should just worry about buying them before they are all gone

as for the posters, lets just say they will coincide with this tour and be as special as the shows themselves will be

Oh Gail, I have not forgotten. The signed Raine CDs made a great addition to my CD stack. And you shall recall my beautiful note written back to you... and by "beautiful" I mean, I'm in love with my penmanship. You have to admit it was pretty awesome!

Haha okay, I'll do the same Riley. I just request that I do not get raped, and some other basic niceties.

RileyLewis · Post by **RileyLewis** » 12/11/2009, 7:52 pm

Haha. Ok, agreed.

Can anyone please give me a list of some unreleased songs? I actually only know a couple :oops:

and Wow this forum really exploded.... i leave for 2 days and theres over 15 more pages to read over. Like 10 pages are from people complaining about VIP prices. It really makes me sick... Wahhhh, they are too much, wahhhhhhh your not gettings what your paying for wahhhhhhh... Shut the hell up already and quit whining to TW as if hes going to lower the ticket price to 100 just for YOU. If you dont like the price, DONT BUY THE PACKAGE. I know i couldnt pass up a once in a lifetime oppertunity. And now TW says there will be even MORE BONUSES??? WOW, Treat me like a VIP to probably the best evening of my life. ILL TAKE IT.

I agree with Twiqz. All I know is that if you would have asked me a year ago how much I'd pay to see OLP perform Clumsy and Spiritual Machines live in their entireties I'd have said MY ENTIRE BANK ACCOUNT.

The first six listed are from their demos:

Edge of Sanity
Personal Parade
Nobody's Wrong (early version of The Birdman)
Sorry (pre-Naveed demo)
Blind Anniversary
Out of Here
Home
Julia (piano version, if it was recorded)
Yourself
Trapeze
Sleeping In
Ordinary Day
A Waste of Violence (although I've seen alternate titles that read The Weight of Violence)
La Bra
Angelina's Song
Stop Screaming
Our Time Is Fading
Talk Is Cheap
No Warning
Hit the Wall
Vampires
End of the World
Enemy
Save Yourself
Weight of the Lord
Song7
What Kind of Life

Non-album tracks that have found other releases:

The Needle and the Damage Done (Neil Young cover from Borrowed Tunes and Best Buy bonus track for Happiness)
Tomorrow Never Knows (The Beatles cover from The Craft Soundtrack)
Whatever (WWF Forcable Entry album)
Imagine (John Lennon cover from a fan club album; there's a studio version I think)
Not Afraid (from a Labatt Blue promo CD)
R.K. Jack (used as an intro to Life on A Decade)
Kiss on the Mouth (A Decade)
Better Than Here (demo on A Decade)

Obviously there's more than this, but these are the one's we're aware of.

Well, back in 2003 Pearl Jam released Lost Dogs, an album of B-Sides and previously unreleased material. Lots of other bands release these kind of albums at some point after a reasonable amount of albums. To be honest, I'm surprised Sony hasn't just randomly tossed in some songs to make a quick buck.

Tattooed Angels wrote:I can tell you one song nobody has asked for.

Talk Is Cheap. I do not even remember how that went. Only they did it on the Tour with Avril..

I freaking love Talk Is Cheap. Based on the live version I have, Raine's vocals would sound great in the studio like that, and it's a nice up-tempo hard-rocking song.

yeah, i agree. No offense to anyone here, but i really think the money is well worth it. It's gonna be an evening that will go down in music history for me ,and im sure for others here as well. I honestly would pay more if I had too, because I know OLP are going to give us back every penny we spent by putting on a show that we will never forget. From what TW said, the tour book sounds like it's going to really blow our minds, and I think the meet and greet is extremely nice of them to do. They're going all out on this, and they're going to extreme lengths to make this tour something their fans will always remember... so for me... no second thoughts on what I spent. Like i said in previous posts, I grew up with OLP, I have a ton of respect for them, and to see 2 of my all time favorite albums being perfomed is just really awesome. So all's i gotta say is Thank you OLP.

I agree completely with TW here. The band is doing something so absolutely amazing for us, we really need to just see past the technicalities and the "what if"'s.

I'm still sort of in shock that any of this is happening. I mean, who here ever thought that we would ever see the day when we would hear "The Wonderful Future" played live again? I certainly think TW deserves some big thanks here, as I'm sure that his 0.02 were thrown at the band for this to happen (assuming that he's not Jeremy, of course!)

yeah, thanks Trusty for everything you do also.

I guess us CMers are so used to complaining about something that it has to get out of our system somehow :lol:

But yeah, Trusty, we really appreciate what you've helped happen... this is the most amazing thing OLP could ever have done for their fans!!!!

So what's the word on the street, Eastern monkeys? Get your tickets this morning?
