Have pair of fifth row for Thursday NYC. They cost 276 dollars from ticketbastard.
I am pissed that they just added a Friday night NYC show, because I thought I was seeing the last show of the tour.
-
Yup Yup. My tickets were 45 bucks, but that\'s before all of the charges. Totally worth it. Would have gotten the 60 dollar ones if I hadn\'t forgotten to get the tickets earlier.
-
Joc, it looks good on paper, doesn\'t it? Al, tickets in Chicago were just under $100, including Ticketbastard fees. Thankfully it\'s a Friday. I\'m hearing the Denver show was almost 3 hours. And for those fortunate enough to see the Philly and Boston shows, you get Bela Fleck and the Flecktones as an opener. NICE!
-
The second SF show is tonight. I\'m probably going to regret missing it, but I figured for $100 I don\'t need to go that badly to a midweek show.
How much are the tickets in other cities?
-
:wave:
But my show isn\'t until August.
Sounds like a helluva weekend you have planned there.
-
Bump. Who else is going? I\'ve got tickets for the Chicago show on Friday, 6/20, then driving up to Menomonie to see The Breakfast at The Waterfront the next day. It\'s lookin\' like a musical weekend. :awwyeah:
-
Thank you!
-
Some dates are on sale now. Boston goes on sale Monday. Def. going to get tix.
-
nice they are playing the jazz fest at SPAC, SHWEET!
-
Awesome, thanks Mike. I will NOT miss this. If anyone hears when the MA tickets go on sale, please post the date here. Just in case I manage to forget/don\'t hear about it.

From Jambase:
LEGENDARY SUPERGROUP RETURN TO FOREVER WILL REUNITE IN SUMMER 2008
Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola and Lenny White
Planning Extensive North American and European Tour
Return to Forever
Return to Forever, one of the most influential groups of the 1970s, has long heard calls from their many fans for a reunion tour. Now those calls have been answered, with the classic lineup of keyboardist Chick Corea, bassist Stanley Clarke, guitarist Al Di Meola and drummer Lenny White planning a tour across the U.S. and Europe that will be their first performances together in more than 25 years.
The foursome is expected to play 40 to 50 dates across the U.S. and Europe, featuring the classic music from their four chart-topping albums. "It\'s been a long time coming," says founder Chick Corea, "and I think it\'s going to be a blast! We plan to take the songs from the albums we made in the \'70s and just play them like they\'ve never been played before."
"In retrospect, the \'70s were a very powerful time in instrumental music," Stanley Clarke adds. "We\'re going to go out and play our music as honestly as we did then, and it will be a great thing for all of us."
Return to Forever helped create and define fusion, a new genre that brought multitudes of rock \'n\' roll fans into the jazz world for the first time. Their influence is evident today in many musical genres, from the hip-hop samplings of Dr. Dre and Lupe Fiasco to a litany of jam bands to techno and prog bands.
A special Return to Forever anthology featuring remixed and remastered tracks from the classic albums Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, Where Have I Known You Before, No Mystery and Romantic Warrior will be released to coincide with the tour.
Al Di Meola says, "This is something we\'ve talked about for close to 30 years... how\'s that? 30 years! We\'ve come close a few times, but finally the timing was right."
"We all felt the time was right to come back on a grand scale, raise the bar again and show people what serious music is really about," Lenny White concludes.
Hear a clip from 1975\'s No Mystery here.
Stay tuned for tour date announcements.
