Here's the setlist as taken from another message board. I'm not much of a Scorpions fan so I didn't recognize much besides the new songs and the big hits but it was still an awesome night of metal. We decided to upgrade our tickets to VIP when we got there and saw that the general admission section was behind the soundboard -- really crap sightlines. It was well worth it as we ended up about 3 rows from the front. The cheap tickets should have been $20 max, not $62! Other than that I thought it made a great venue. Lines were a little long but bearable. Bar service was great since they didn't care how many beers you ordered at a time. $4 a beer was reasonable too. Did you ending going AD? Security was non-existent and I saw a bunch of people hopping the fence.

Best part of last night's show was the clueless interim chief. Other than that kind of a tepid start to the season.

What? I like drama. A couple of ugly Russian wins will give the series some legs. Of course I still want Canada to win.

I made the list!

In light of her newfound media status she could not have come up with a better answer. Pure dumb-luck genius.

I hope Russia can pull out the next two to keep the series interesting coming back to Canada.

For some reason I assumed the SPL champions got an automatic berth in the group stages. My bad.

Not as embarrassing as the Chelsea fan I saw being interviewed who called Frank Lampard the 2nd best player in the world.

Good stuff. Any chance Celtic/Rangers could meet in the group stage?

Did Rangers make group stage last year?

Pretty sure Nicholson wrote the same column last year but I still like it. Get Naked With The League Cup...

That's what you get for messing with Chris Robinson!

Hey StoneMtn, did you see Alabama Man's link to this jazz fusion bootleg treasure trove? http://jazzfusion.tv/bootlegaudio.html# Might be something you like there.

Well, even Scott Peterson has his followers.

I downloaded the previous seasons but have held off to watch season 4 in HD. It's gonna be great!

Sky Sports News just reported that Ole Gunnar Soulshine has retired.

I'm gonna grab a pair of tickets from Vertigo Records after work. VIP tickets are $20 more than regular but I can't find a seating chart anywhere. Such an odd choice of venue.

It has all the makings of the next Carlyle Group!

End of Novemeber in Ottawa ain't exactly summer.

Yeah, it was called Grey Cup 2004 and it was awesome.

After the opening weekend debacle, I thought Landsdowne hosted the U-20s just fine. Bring it on!

I will definitely be giving this one a pass.

The Ghoster Coaster!

I've seen commercials for this show and it's so creepy.
