Part of me wants to be in the middle of Amway Arena escaping from life, but I just couldn’t come to buy the ticket. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a total Chiffon Head--- Really I have a shawl that I made myself- out of chiffon. But I was totally disappointed with the build-up and let down of this tour. From the lack of new material, the lack of new promotional pictures, the high (er) prices for a decent ticket, the “fans” that scream at me for wanting to stand up for the entire show, the Unleashed title, the comments made from various members of the band… touring is like going to Iraq..is what really did it for me I think? My mind was made up even before opening night.
And then I logged onto the Ledge opening night and read the reviews and saw the set list as it was being played (what a great night that was on the ledge) and they gave us Storms! I was so happy they pulled it out, but it still wasn’t enough; and then came the photos of that red dress. That breathtakingly beautiful red dress… I thought I must GO… But I knew I wouldn’t, I couldn’t. I was proving a point to myself and to the band. I was not going to support the unleashed era; I just couldn’t force myself to do it. They have disappointed me. Yet I find myself in a blue mood… I’m already regretting it and they haven’t even gotten to dreams yet…
Anyway I guess I’m sad that I’m sitting here when I could have been sitting listening to one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.
Did anyone else boycott and then regret it later?

Too bad you did not go,
overpriced, actually they are on par with others, ie, the Eagles...etc...
I felt the same way initially when I read about the ILAA M&G @ $800.oo ea,
but sanity prevailed, &, I coughed up the $$$$ for Detroit, (awsome), 5th row in front of Lindsey
......Toronto #1, (formally Albany), (fantastic), 4th row in front of Lindsey,
......Ottawa, (4 hr drive each way, well worth the drive), 1st row in front of Stevie,
......Toronto #2, (got two great tickets from Zombie that my Sister & Niece used), scored front row in front of Lindsey,
each show was better than the previous one,
I actually considered leaving work this morning at 7, (after 4 x 12 hr nightshifts), driving to Buffalo, catching a flight to Orlando, staying at the Marriot to attend your show in Orlando, but, due to a domestic situation, I did not, and this I do regret,
You should have gone to the show................
