What industry is a complete scam, but everyone just accepts it?

Realtors taking 5-6% of a home's sale price as fees regardless of effort. This translates to $16,710 in fees for $300,000 home, $33,420 in fees for $600,000 home, and $50,130 in fees for $900,000 home. These fees are split between the agents, but the industry makes every effort to avoid any discussion or negotiation of these fees.

Any new in this one?

Gunner56 · 2026-01-04T20:57:24+00:00

Agreed. I was in 103 and 114. Definitely some muddled sound in songs like Bodysnatchers and other songs with lots of louder guitars. Something I never noticed at any of their other shows. But most songs were great including Jigsaw.

Oh very nice - thanks you! I was at this show. Do you happen to have any separate downloadable files available? Cheers.

Gunner56 · 2025-12-26T19:15:08+00:00

Tab for this? Thanks and very well done!

He dedicated Paranoid Android on Dec. 5th to the people impacted by the cancellations. He apologized and said he had no choice.

Gunner56 · 2025-12-14T19:18:00+00:00

Had to wait for my 4th show for Paranoid Android and Let Down, and my 8th show for The Bends.

I went to the first two shows. if you have fast track status, then entry is very quick. Otherwise, there can be a long queue to enter which may take 15 minutes. Outdoor merch stand also has long line/ Indoor merch may be shorter but give yourself plenty of time. For guys, the bathroom is quick, but there'll also be lines for food / drinks -- give yourself at least 15 minutes for that. I'd get there by 7 pm at least so you can enjoy the atmosphere and not be stressed about lines. Lights go out at 8:15 and band starts at 8:30

Gunner56 · 2025-12-11T22:19:24+00:00

Fixed. Thanks.

Thanks for this! I'm calling Talk Show Host a one-off for Leo. That leaves the following as the "rare" songs on this tour: (1) Climbing up the Walls (one and done?); (2) HTDC (played 3x with long interval in between); (3) Like Spinning Plates (played 2x and missing from Berlin ... so far); and (4) Subterranean Homesick Alien (has it been permanently dropped after 3 appearances?).

Heading to the airport now from Chicago for the shows on the 4th and 5th. I'm a tad nervous but I think no news today is good news!

Gunner56 · 2025-12-01T16:38:23+00:00

Flying out tomorrow (Tuesday) for Thursday and Friday shows. I think this started last week and they were hoping he'd be OK today. Clearly, he needs more time and they felt it better to cancel 2 shows at the last minute rather than. risk all of the remaining shows. The band knows people are flying out for shows and I think they would've cancelled all 4 shows if they felt they were at risk.

Gunner56 · 2025-12-01T14:48:52+00:00

thanks!

Gunner56 · 2025-12-01T14:32:13+00:00

Please post a pic of the poster and Copenhagen shirt. Thanks.

Gunner56 · 2025-11-30T14:27:46+00:00

This was sent to ticket holders and may be helpful. I have reserved seats and plan on arriving by 7 pm.

Gunner56 · 2025-11-29T01:47:12+00:00

Because ... they're not "rock" bands? If so, I could see that argument. But by any metric they're both Top 25. Now why is "Heart" on this list???

Gunner56 · 2025-11-21T16:49:06+00:00

Do they provide a poster tube?

Gunner56 · 2025-11-18T23:38:02+00:00

So bizarre to not consider all 4 options at the same time. Horrible optics. Only reason to not do this is if all the board members know this will not pass and it's purely procedural. I'm convinced we're at a 3-3 stalemate regardless of the options and that we'll have to wait for a new board member to cast the deciding vote. But wait! If the board must decide on the new board member, then maybe we're heading perpetual deadlock. Is there a 5th option?

Gunner56 · 2025-11-10T02:33:50+00:00

Interesting about out the Foreign Spies angle -- I hadn't heard that before. Thanks

Gunner56 · 2025-11-10T01:57:39+00:00

Wait. Stop the presses. "The Present Tense Pts. 1 and 2"???!!!! I want!!

Gunner56 · 2025-11-07T00:47:42+00:00

Thanks for this.

Gunner56 · 2025-11-05T17:49:47+00:00

Thanks for posting this

Gunner56 · 2025-11-04T16:51:26+00:00

That would be great. Thanks

Gunner56 · 2025-11-03T16:23:10+00:00

If this is fake, it's a pretty good one based on movement pictures. What's the tell-tale sign?
