I'm curious, does anyone know anyone who was in the L.A. studio audience?

Hammersmith Odeon, London. It was over-sold, in fact. People were standing
several rows deep up at the back.

Many European dates in 2003 were sold out including London. (Of
course, if they sell the same number of tickets this time, with a much
bigger venue, London won't be sold out in 2004.)

I was at Liverpool (4500) and Edinburgh (3000) and couldn't see many if any
empty seats.

I was at Liverpool (4500) and Edinburgh (3000) and couldn't see many if any
empty seats.

Edinburgh was jam packed last year. Always seems to be a better atmosphere than
the Glasgow shows.
