Completely skipped Providence during 10k tour.

If they add a 2nd New England date, my guess would be either TD Banknorth in Boston or CCCC in Portland. Comcast center would be the obvious choice, but there's no open dates to accommodate them.
I was at the last Providence show. It was a let down after the incredible show in Boston the night before. They recovered well the following night in Manchester. I think if they played it this time out it would be a full house as the only southern New England date. On Lateralus, I think it got lost between New Haven, Boston and Manchester. I can't see them playing TD Banknorth and Manchester. A second show in Manchester could also be a possibilty.
