That show was a ripoff.

At $35? We're going to be paying ~ $70AUD (roughly US$60) to see RA in August. I don't know what you're whingeing about. :rolleyes

Yeah really. I'd be more than willing to pay $35 for a little less than an hour and a half of music from one of my favorite musicians. Especially with a set list like last nights and Ryan back on guitar.
From the perspective of someone who gets maybe (emphasis on maybe) 1 good show a year within driving distance all the people who are pissing and moaning about last night seem a little ungrateful and spoiled. (Just check out the threads about last night on the alt.org and you'll see what I mean about "pissing and moaning.")

At almost AUD $70 a ticket, I hope he at least plays encores during the Aussie shows though.

[Starlite]

In the 2005 shows, he commented that he enjoyed the Aussie audience (Splendour debacle aside), so hopefully there won't get be any assholes on this tour to piss him off.

[Sydneyfan]

Yeah, he seemed pretty happy with the Sydney audience, that's for sure. He was a bit defensive at the beginning of the show, but once he seemed to realise the audience was on his side, he really warmed up and started enjoying himself.
