   De-lurking to respond. Have had many years of enjoyable reading (since '99)   
   & the occasional comment. Sometimes it can be a little confronting to post   
   here, because I'm just a fan, not a musician, and I wonder whether anything   
   I might have to add is relevant. Certainly, it's comforting to know that the   
   flame wars I've seen in some of the other groups don't break out here. But   
   there's always something interesting going on.   
      
   And after a 35 year wait, we get to see our heroes in just a few short   
   months. I'm very pleased that as far as i can tell, ticket sales in Oz have   
   been very strong and the Sydney show now only has tickets way up in the   
   stars. Hopefully this is enough encouragement for the promoters to get them   
   back.
