Hey Treacle, Doobies are playing Abbotsford on Oct 28, Amex presales start on Wednesday. I saw them there several years ago, decent show, not a huge fan, but if tickets are cheap, I might get them.

Has SONY ever said what medium they consider to be better since they developed both SACD and bluray?

I guess if that includes meet/greet/souvenir package then why not? Have to be a pretty die hard Doobies fan to pay that much though!

Last time he played Vancouver in 2002, it was reportedly far from full, and he hasn't been back until now.

Hey STG, been texting with my cousin in Scarborough. She's tired of shoveling! We got hit with snow here in BC but nothing near what you got! The Coquihalla highway was closed for over 24 hours because it was hit with about 2 1/2 feet of snow and they were doing avalanche control. The TV show Highway Thru Hell is filmed here in my hometown which shows tow trucks attending accidents.

Impossible to estimate a crowd at a free concert, like Rod's at the beach. I've always read Hyde Park 69 had a crowd of 250000, but here it's 500000! Also, they show Metallica in Moscow, but it was AC/DC that were the headlining act.
