I don't know if this is true (because I always want to see it on FriendsofLive.com, but that's just me....), but the Paradiso (Amsterdam, Holland) website listed 2 acts with the name 'LIVE' in june/july.
And because one of the last shows they did in Holland (april, 2006) was on the same location, I think they're talkin about our favorite band

2 shows in Holland.... tooooo good to be true. The website says sales of the tickets starting this saturday

You see if you look closely, they change 2 songs and drop one from the second night. Of course it's also a different order, it's almost as if you're seeing two completely different bands!


Seriously though, I'd choose either show and not worry, but more inclined for the first. I used to think it meant the first show would be the fresh show and the second the warm up. But really, the first show means they'll be warmed up anyways, even if it is the first show of a new tour they would have had to practice a bit somewhat and be ready, the fact they hardly ever change their setlist means they should be pretty confident playing it by now, and from what I've experienced generally back to back nights means Ed's voice suffers a little more in the second night. Not that either of the shows were bad shows, I really enjoyed them, it's just I think Edstipe has a point, if you can only afford one, don't stress.
