They played here in Chicago at the beginning of the month during Lollapalooza, was a great show from what I've heard, just mad I didn't get to see it.  I guess the crowd was getting really wild during their set and De la Rocha had to stop 3 times to ask the crowd to back up because people were getting hurt.


They are a band I always wanted to see live.

Yeah, they don't play THAT often together that much anymore, or at least from what I've seen.

One of the best live shows I have seen by far.  If you don't enjoy yourself it's because you either got your bellybutton kicked, or got trampled in a stampede.

Amen to that!! I've been a Rage fan since the first time I heard Freedom back in 93. I always wanted to see them in concert but everytime they were in the area I would miss out. When they called it quits back in 2000 I was pretty bummed.

When they reunited for a few shows last year I decided there was no way I was going to miss it. It didnt care if I had to drive across the country I was going to see them. Imagine how happy I was when they announced Alpine Valley which is about 20 minutes from my house. I was blown away by what I saw that night, it was 90 minutes of pure power and energy coming from that stage. Even my wife who was never really a fan said it was the best concert she had ever been too.

If you dont enjoy the show I'll be really surprised.

Exactly Bizz, I saw them at Alpine back in oh.... 99ish for the Tibetan Freedom Concert.  Gigantic mud fight, followed by the crowd jumping the gate and bumrushing the VIP area down at the front.  From what I heard the show you went to was more of the same, wish I would have gone.

Give me the ticket then.  One of the best live shows I have seen by far.  If you don't enjoy yourself it's because you either got your bellybutton kicked, or got trampled in a stampede.

No, I just never got too interested in them :lol



Oh, and it's Rise Against, not Rage against the Machine.

Check out what's probably gonna happen when we're there.

I've always listened to some of their songs, but never really really liked em.

Some happy news about concerts for me! August 29, tommorrow, I will get a chance in a lifetime. Going down to Philadelphia to see my top 2 favorite bands of all time play together!! Nightwish...

You lucky dog you! Nightwish = amazing, but when they replaced Tarja with Anette, didn't seem to have the effect I think they wanted...

Eh, oh well, working at the Warped Tour was more than enough for me!  :aok
