!!!!!!!! skdjflksjdfl...

What makes this even sweeter, if Dayna/Tony/Treb see this, we were just saying last night how we want the tour dates official so bad... thanks Joe! :bounce :bounce :bounce

[RetardedMonkey]

Omg! :)

[crashintosabine]

Well good morning! :D

[mcdill]

I knew I wasn't dreaming when I heard this on the radio this morning.

No Shoreline. How about that!

[viking217]

hell yes
two dates in hartford per usual
sweet stuff

[crashintosabine]

Damn, no hometown show for the MI people. Poor us.

[Brad]

gone?

[Brad]

i cant see the listing....anyone else having this problem?

[RetardedMonkey]

no SPAC?!?! :(:(:(

[Brad]

nope. PC with winxp. what does it say for NC?

[Mark]

one canadian date. :(

and 20 days after my wifes due date. *sigh* no shows for me this year.

[firedancinnancy]

no giants stadium?!

[Mark]

brad:

7.24 charlotte
7.26 raleigh

[LindsayRose]

lotsa midwest shows...i can handle that

[Brad]

thanks mark

[Mark]

3 FL shows. Will's be happy about that one.

[crashintosabine]

Notice how they broke up the different regions into their own series. It usually goes just by dates.

[JmoneyDMB]

Hell yeah so far it looks like I'll be at Deer Creek and Alpine again!

[AJDMB05]

What's with the ending at the Gorge again? That's going to raise expectations really high for those shows like it did last year. It may not be three nights, but still.

Anyway, I'm just happy I've got a two night stand to look forward to that isn't 7 months from now. Only 5. And by the time I have tickets it'll be 3 1/2.

[MochaKiss]

cool...but.....NO SPAC ?!?!?!?! WTF !!!! :ugh:

[Rob D]

oh daddy....

[FriedSquad]

Again, no shows in Michigan... when's the last time that happened?

[Fishdisease]

Only Toronto...sigh, what happened to the days when we'd get three Canadian shows. That upsets me...I just moved to the outskirts of Toronto and I was hoping for the usual 3 dates. Now it'll still cost me as much to catch a few shows as it did when I lived on the east coast. Dam!

FD

[OklahomaMama]

i feel like crying :(
nothing even remotely close to where i live
guess i'll have to plan some road trips
:D

[2SteppingAnt41]

no spac :-( but lots of other two night stands...

[mikemack8]

yeah baby three shows in PA, but I guess it's been like that for quite awhile :D

[Rob D]

[RememberTwo]

no NYC...that is shocking

[trippy7]

3 florida shows is a beautiful thing, these dates couldn't have been any better.

[dobyblue]

Strange dates indeed!!!!!! Toronto show is easy for me to get to. I can't believe that's the only date. Anyone in Ontario making plans to go to Darien Lake please let me know as I plan to need a ride - my licence is suspended until November.
Please, please, please......
Toronto gig is early in the tour which should be great for vocals. yay! :)

[RetardedMonkey]

3 florida shows is a beautiful thing, these dates couldn't have been any better.
:violent you've obviously never been to SPAC then.

[Number27]

3 FL shows. Will's be happy about that one.
Not only just Will! :mad: :multi

[missycor]

These Alpine dates are much better than the fake ones posted. :) Now I just have to convince my husband that it is essential that we go *both* nights. I'm not sure how I'm going to do that.

[dancergirl40ky]

Happy for ya Los. I've got my dates highlighted but not sure what I can commit to yet. Gorge in Sept- eh, the boys will be in school making that much more difficult. Rich is scheduled to work every date that is anywhere near us, except Antioch with is on a Wednesday, but the kids arent in school , oh hell I am rambling, too excited.

[proudestfan]

Woo hoo!! Camden and Hershey, here I come!!

[mikemack8]

Not only just Will! :mad: :multi
yeah that's awesome for you 'Los, three shows to go to this summer in Florida after going all this time without a show. You still gonna go to the Gorge??

[RetardedMonkey]

Can we decline these dates and go with the fake ones? :thumbsup

[theTabasco®Kid]

Wow... no Colorado dates. Someone's gonna be pissed...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the jackass who threw the knife on the stage at last year's Denver show.

[Rob D]

hmmm...i see a bristow, raleigh, charlotte and 2 gorge dates in my future...

[brockboi]

i guess no 500,000 KM Canadian roadie for us. if i'm still here i'll be going to darien and toronto. i can't believe that there is only one Canadian date. Ottawa gets the shaft again after an amazing show in 2002, Montreal gets the shaft after some great shows there and no Vancouver either. kinda surprised. I like how they did split up Toronto and Darien again, even though they are only a couple hours apart.

[brockboi]

:thumbsup Can we decline these dates and go with the fake ones? :thumbsup
haha, for sure. 4 shows are much better then two!
why the hell would someone post those fake ones?

[towstepper22]

I'm very dissapointed with no SPAC this year i couldnt go last year and now there not going. It's one of the best venues how could they not do SPAC. Sorry just incredibly dissapointed :confused:

[Mark]

Wow... no Colorado dates. Someone's gonna be pissed...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the jackass who threw the knife on the stage at last year's Denver show.
yeah. sorry about that. my bad.

[Rob D]

it could get added. spac likes to play games with shit like this.

[RetardedMonkey]

Yeah, it sucks. Perhaps it's part of their "fuck you" to clearchannel?

[trippy7]

:violent you've obviously never been to SPAC then.


no but i've been to the gorge, so not a big deal. i could careless if ny gets any shows what so ever. you guys got about 7 shows last year, so let the bitching begin. :lol

[RetardedMonkey]

it could get added. spac likes to play games with shit like this.

It's a possibility (would be a nice place for a festival... ;) ), but I'm pretty skeptical that they would add entire venues.

[SWEET_Z]

It would be awful if they don't get to SPAC. It is the greatest place to see a concert. I am noticing a gap from June 30 - July 6th. I bet two SPAC days will fit in nicely there. ;) Does anyone know if the band has anything else planned for those dates?

[OklahomaMama]

Happy for ya Los. I've got my dates highlighted but not sure what I can commit to yet. Gorge in Sept- eh, the boys will be in school making that much more difficult. Rich is scheduled to work every date that is anywhere near us, except Antioch with is on a Wednesday, but the kids arent in school , oh hell I am rambling, too excited.stace...
are you gonna go to antioch???
my sis lives in knoxville and i told her i'd buy her tix if she'd let me crash @ her house
sounds like an event... ANTS in ANTioch?!
whaddya think?

[Rob D]

i remember back in 98 or 99 that spac wouldn't release their schedule and the band didn't have spac in their dates. we found out in april or may that there would be 2 shows there. there's hope.

[RetardedMonkey]

no but i've been to the gorge, so not a big deal. i could careless if ny gets any shows what so ever. you guys got about 7 shows last year, so let the bitching begin. :lol

mean.





















;)

[jhever]

How could Dallas be left off??? Three shows in the Houston area and zero in Dallas!! I hope one will be added!!

[Matt]

It's also a possibility that this could have went in the existing thread on the topic.

[dustycobb]

There is offically a reason to celebrate, for me anyway.

Tue, July 27 / Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre / Atlanta, GA
Thu, July 29 / Tampa Bay Amphitheatre / Tampa, FL
Sat, July 31 / Sound Advice Amphitheatre / West Palm Beach, FL

[dobyblue]

:twak yeah. sorry about that. my bad. :lol


Curt if you're going to Darien in a vehicle and there's 2 spare seats I'll contribute to gas/food etc. I'm sure we'll meet for beers before then anyway.

[cbsauder]

man, i think im on vacation during the camden shows. but theres always hershey again

[#36firedancer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(

they took away Dallas! :(
...but... 2 NIGHT STAND @ WOODLANDS IS BACK! :bounce

...but... I'm almost positive that our shows are the first week of school! :( *runs off crying*

Fri 8/20 The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion The Woodlands, TX Series 3 - 2004
Sat 8/21 The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion The Woodlands, TX Series 3 - 2004

[edit: nevermind... I'm stupid... the shows would be afterschool - at worst, I'd miss the last part of a Friday which I'll prolly have off anyway... :D ]

[Number27]

I'm either hitting Tampa or West Palm in FL. No matter whta, I'm still going to Gorge to hang with my crew.

[TMoore4075]

Damn, no hometown show for the MI people. Poor us.
I know what is up with that! Now I have to think about where I am gonna go to go seem them.

[pichtd]

2 Nights at The Woodlands, I'm happy!

[keithtown]

Yes, I'm in the Air Force and I deploy for 92 days starting may 28th, but I get back in time for the Gorge!!!!

This is one of the greatest days of the year!!!

[simianlovedoc]

Yahoo!!!! First night of tour here in St. Louis and the night my vacation starts. Happiness abounds :monkey

Chris

[Dougie981641]

Hmm, need to find out when I'm getting home from vacation, might only make one Post-Gazette Pavilion show...but I should be able to go to the show in Bristow, VA

[DaveHiKedMySkrT]

I'm so depressed!!!!! none in Oklahoma!!!!! :BANG the only one I ca really go to is St. Louis, I think :confused:

[Rdedeian]

I got my 4 shows in New England, a little disappointed in no SPAC since I really wanted to go there this year but I might have the hit the Tweeter Center shows in Camden, NJ instead.


And I was thinking the other day that with a new album coming out sometime that I expect a Winter tour maybe so if they missed your area you still have hope!

[antsmarchin01]

Can't wait 2 night in Pittsburgh is gonna rock

[DaveHiKedMySkrT]

When Warehouse says that there will be updates this summer, does that mean newly posted dates and venues? Cause They're no where near oklahoma, and when they'll be in the 3 texas shows, (no Dallas???!!) I'll be in school!!! this sucks!!!! :BANG

[Kdog900]

opening the tour at UMB! GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!

[OklahomaMama]

I'm so depressed!!!!! none in Oklahoma!!!!! :BANG the only one I ca really go to is St. Louis, I think :confused:that's almost word for word what i said :(
selma & the woodlands are just too far away and too close to the start of fall semester, you know?
i KNEW OKC last summer was too good to be true :rolleyes:

[pooleman]

i guess no 500,000 KM Canadian roadie for us. if i'm still here i'll be going to darien and toronto. i can't believe that there is only one Canadian date. Ottawa gets the shaft again after an amazing show in 2002, Montreal gets the shaft after some great shows there and no Vancouver either. kinda surprised. I like how they did split up Toronto and Darien again, even though they are only a couple hours apart.

Looks like there's some room between 6/30 and 7/6 to add a date or too. I'm crossing my fingers for the Candaians.

Same with 8/31 to 9/4 for western folks.

[TMoore4075]

Everyone says there will be a winter tour, I hope there is because it stinks no MI shows. I will probably try to head to Germain or Blossom though. I have to see the band somewhere. Any suggestions on what one is nicer and I guess easier to get to from good ole SE Michigan?

[ShamrockinGirl]

I can't believe there's no SPAC! I really wanted my first show to be there. :(

[Nikos]

:violent :mad: Yeah...Arkansas got totally screwed as well...Dallas was a close drive but now they took that away....closest one now is in Antioch TN...man...what a bummer...

[maxxd97]

Who else is angry at the fact that there's no SPAC shows??? I look forward to them each summer, and now no show! :(

Why wouldn't DMB make a stop at the beloved SPAC?

[RetardedMonkey]

I agree, but no need for a new thread. [in before closed]

[willnole]

3 Florida Dates!!!!!!

Whoooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[Dancing Ants]

no Dallas date?!?! what?! I don't wanna drive to Woodlands...dammit!

[willnole]

Don't feel bad. Florida got skipped last year. It just happens to be your turn.

[drummin69]

I wouldn't worry too much about no SPAC. Notice the gap b/w 6/30 and 7/6....then take into account that they're playing in Canada on the 30th and then Mass. on the 6th.......what venue is in the middle?????? SPAC!!!
No worries, they'll be there.

[Mark]

3 Florida Dates!!!!!!

Whoooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
shut up :violent

[drummin69]

Well I should have checked this site out before I went shooting my mouth off..............SPAC People: It doesn't look good.
http://www.spac.org/calender/index.html

[ordis]

havent seen a thread about this so here it is...

:confused:

[carlosz1021]

whoooooooohoooooo. they timed it just perfectly. I can now attend the tweeter center in MA after i get back from New Zealand, and make it to the phoenix show when i move out there mid of august!!!

[maxxd97]

havent seen a thread about this so here it is...

:confused:

mine was already closed! :p

Blossom i think has a more mellow mood to the night.. germain is good depending on what night u see it.. 2nd nights have more enegry! but if i had to choose i'd tell you blossom.. (bias) :) Blossom is 10 mins away from I-80 so if ur comin from michigan i would go to blossom :)

[pooleman]

No worries, they'll be there.

Or....... maybe that's where the DMB Festival goes. Maybe in NYC, since they seem to have been "skipped"? Or would SPAC be suitable for the festival?

[joeyfine]

anyone here know if this is gonna be a tour of the bands new songs??????

[The_Wizard]

Who else is angry at the fact that there's no SPAC shows??? I look forward to them each summer, and now no show! :(

Why wouldn't DMB make a stop at the beloved SPAC?

Maybe we'll see a DMB Fest at SPAC. A weekend long bash with phish and and a few others. :)

[puck6two4]

starting my summer at tweeter....ending at alpine.....mmmmmmmmm.....

[MistreatedLewis]

No worries, they'll be there.

Hopefully. I don't mind the no NYC area dates, because we have been treated very well by the band there in the last year or so (James Brown, Night 2 Continental, CP), but SPAC is a really amazing time. Hope these dates get added on.

[Nikos]

man...what a day...guess i'll have to drive 4 hrs to TN then 8 to MO...gotta make the best of it...

[joeyfine]

man...what a day...guess i'll have to drive 4 hrs to TN then 8 to MO...gotta make the best of it...

you've got like a million DMB Cd's to listen too ;) time will fly

[wonderwes]

2 shows in Houston, 0 for Dallas, 1 for SA and 1 for Albuquerque, NM. NM gets a show but Dallas does not. Crazyness. Its right near the end of August when the Texas summer reaches that peak of heat. They have always put on quality shows at The Woodlands. Not a bad way to finish the summmer. I wonder how fast the tickets for George, WA will go.

[gracemonkey]

one canadian date. :(

and 20 days after my wifes due date. *sigh* no shows for me this year.
well I hope my luck is nothing like last summer. My chances were slim to none for toronto tickets and I live here!!

I have never seen DMB in concert and this would just make my year!!
Keep your fingers crossed.

[bertramcheeks22]

no but i've been to the gorge, so not a big deal. i could careless if ny gets any shows what so ever. you guys got about 7 shows last year, so let the bitching begin. :lol
Thats My Boy!!!

[APE920]

I know people are upset about SPAC not being listed, but I think the BIGGEST hole in the tour is that the ENTIRE intermountain rocky region is getting forgotten :twak . The closest place for UT is 12 hrs away driving. So help me if that has anything to do with the IDIOT in Denver that threw the knife. Looks like no concerts for me this summer :mad: This totally ruined my day :BANG .

Ed

Forgotten UT

[frankm24]

That no stop in Montreal is bullshit. Montreal has the one of the better crowds if not the best canadian one

[Davenumber40]

Looks like I'll be hitting 6/24 Columbus, Nashville, and Cincy. I was really hoping for two Cincy dates though.

*edit*
Ok I know this is a very stupid question for someone with several hundred CDs of live shows but I've only gone to a couple shows. What would be the best way for me to get tickets? I'm going to get pavilion for a couple shows and probably lawn for one. I'm not a warehouse member. Should i join and go for the instants or just try ticketmaster? Because I'm assuming I can't have my membership in by the lottery thing (which I don't think I'd get anyway because I think it's based on senioroty)

[MelissaDMBfan]

I will be at Deer Creek, and Alpine for all of those shows. I might go to Tweeter since its so close to me, but that place is the worst!!

[BrahmaBull]

Can we decline these dates and go with the fake ones? :thumbsup



absolutely....i know we sound like a bunch of whining babies...but come on...2 nights at germain, and one at darien lake...with no spac? Darien lake and germain are closer to me but their amphitheatres SUCK!!! if the east loses its premier venue, why does the west still get Gorge? I hope they didnt get it because of some legal or other shit...not because they wanna change it up.

[BrahmaBull]

It would be awful if they don't get to SPAC. It is the greatest place to see a concert. I am noticing a gap from June 30 - July 6th. I bet two SPAC days will fit in nicely there. ;) Does anyone know if the band has anything else planned for those dates?


july 1 an 2 were on the fake list for Spac...im praying

[pr0ud3stm0nk3y]

no Minneapolis...arrghhh
i guess its alpine or bust in 2004

[FrankTheTank]

hmmm...i see a bristow, raleigh, charlotte and 2 gorge dates in my future... bristow, va beach, raleigh, charlotte, and alpine i'm thinking rob....can't go to gorge cause of school

[warriors1226]

i hope i can get tix for 4 shows...i dont know if im going through WH or TM, because TM shows are on sale the same day at the same time, which would be real tough to get good seats 4x, or even get seats...

Well when you are from the far south suburbs of Chicago, and traffic is a bitch it takes around 2 hours to get there. I go to Deer Creek every year, and that is around 3 or 3 1/2 hours.

[jdmbellen]

[raven rr]

5 shows in a row...

also i'm thinking about going to some/all of
Columbia MD
VA Beach
Charlotte
Raleigh
i've never been to any of those3 venues... which is the best???

[Gary]

"A special roped-off section, generally located in a central area of the lawn will be restricted to
Warehouse members holding special Warehouse lawn tickets, until intermission. "

Intermission? Is this between the opening band and dmb or do they mean there will be two sets?

[Obsessor Of 41]

I'm looking at five shows right now. My damn summer is already so busy I can't believe it.

[camerondmb]

Glad to see dates in the Midwest...they only had one for Dave and Friends.

[wonderwes]

As much I would love to see all these shows, my cash flow is going to keep me on a limited amount of shows I can attend. Horray economy!

[BrahmaBull]

Ok, I took a shower and came to terms with the idea that my road trip to saratoga springs is now off.....so its looking like the next best 2 nighter is

Sat, June 26 / Post-Gazette Pavilion at Starlake / Burgettstown, PA
Sun, June 27 / Post-Gazette Pavilion at Starlake / Burgettstown, PA

how is it there? spacesque? im more concerned on where to stay?

camping, hotel....ANY IDEAS?!

[absltcit33]

Starlake is an awesome venue, Dave thought it was so good as to hold Farm Aid there two years ago. As for hotels, do a search on Starlake and people will have suggestions there... The closest place that has hotels is in Robinson (25 mins away)

[Ant41]

So............ two of your live albums are recorded in colorado, yet NO colorado stop this year..... FUCK the knife thrower.

dude there are hotels like 3 mins away from the post gazette (it isn't called star lake anymore)

[mikemack8]

quick question too, should probably know this, but what is the deal with the whole series 1, series 2, etc. what is the difference between the series of tickets??

[Pig(..)_Duff]

Stupid middle of the week dates and my working not too much fun. Last year gotta hit up Darien and Blossom (best venue I have been to) and HiFi in Atlanta, this year they are all midweek, not to mention MD finally gets a DMB show and that is mid-week as well... not too lucky there. Still will be great to get out atleast to Hershey. Looking forward to the band again, it is always something to look forward to during the summer.

[katedid81]

number of shows you can request per series

[absltcit33]

dude there are hotels like 3 mins away from the post gazette (it isn't called star lake anymore)

thanks dude, I have been going there since '98 and I still prefer to call it Star Lake, and as far as hotels being 3 mins away they must be in the middle of no where.

[mikemack8]

thanks dude, I have been going there since '98 and I still prefer to call it Star Lake, and as far as hotels being 3 mins away they must be in the middle of no where.
sorry maybe that came off as being a little dickish, I saw after I made the post that you live in pittsburgh, but yeah last year we found a hotel right down the road from the concert, but it was all booked up.....or maybe it was next exit down.....either way, we ended up having to go to Ohio for a room, but it was still only a 20 minute drive

[mikemack8]

number of shows you can request per series
thanks.....so is that for warehouse member only then?

[katedid81]

thanks.....so is that for warehouse member only then?
yep, it has to do with warehouse ticketing

if you plan to get tickets via TicketBastard, don't worry about it

[dtddmbfan]

If i would have ssen these, i would have though that they were fake... they are playing all the way through august for the first time in a long time.

also, they never play 3 days in a row....

[ianseramur]

Well I'm happy! Chicago right away then Alpine over a month later...couldn't ask for more. I bet those SPAC people are pretty pissed....oh well.

[mikemack8]

yep, it has to do with warehouse ticketing

:lol , I've never had a problem with them, always got good seats....maybe I've just been lucky though

[katedid81]

:lol , I've never had a problem with them, always got good seats....maybe I've just been lucky thoughi've actually done really well with them too :lol


but their stupid fees :violent

[Snipper007]

what do you all think would be the best place to travel this summer sice there are only two dates in the NW?

[absltcit33]

sorry maybe that came off as being a little dickish, I saw after I made the post that you live in pittsburgh, but yeah last year we found a hotel right down the road from the concert, but it was all booked up.....or maybe it was next exit down.....either way, we ended up having to go to Ohio for a room, but it was still only a 20 minute drive

Its alright I get a little defensive about my home venue, but I mean people's best bet for a hotel is in Robinson, plus there is so many things to do around there.

[MelissaDMBfan]

If i would have ssen these, i would have though that they were fake... they are playing all the way through august for the first time in a long time.

They are taking off just like they always do for a little big in August, for Dave's little girls birthdays. Its only a week, which is a little big shorter, but they are still taking a break. Plus its not like they have never played 3 days in a row, it am sure it has happened before.

[wedge914]

I like these dates, if I'm lucky I'll hit up both Columbus nights, both Star Lake nights, and Hershey, but more than likely I'll get sick again like I do every year and be unable to attend any of them :rolleyes:

where in pittsburgh are you from?

[GHB#13]

I just joined the warehouse toaday.
can anyone tell me when exactly they charge your credit card?
I understand that you request them, but then do they charge immediately after the ordering period is over, immediately after you're confirmed for tickets, or just at some random point in between when you're confirmed for tickets and when ytou recieve the tickets??

Thanks,
Gary

[wedge914]

where in pittsburgh are you from?
McKeesport

[FunkyWinkerbean]

No Shoreline is very odd. And with no more that 2 shows in a row throughout the tour, and only 3 days between Sleep Train and Gorge, it looks very doubtful that 2 Shorelines will be added. One is possible, but that's still pretty odd. Unless they come back to Shoreline AFTER Gorge...I don't know.

[chiznaz]

why must the gorge show be after school starts. Looks like im just doing in-state shows this summer

[MelissaDMBfan]

WHen you put a request for tickets in they will first see if your credit card has enough available funds for all of the shows you have requested. if it doens't you will NOT get any tickets to any of the shows you requested. Then comes the lottery which will decide if you get the tickets, if you do you sometimes have a temporary hold of the charge on your credit card. You will be charged when you are confirmed (some people might get it a few days before,) but make sure you have enough of a limit available before confimations come up. Otherwise you will get nothing.

[Tbone328]

I hope ticket prices go down.

and will the warehouse preffered lawn seating place be more expensive?

[TMoore4075]

They might do a temp charge before they are confirmed or declined. Like I have a debit/credit and they took the money out to make sure that it would be there if I got confirmed. Other wise they charge right after you are confirmed.

[MelissaDMBfan]

I hope ticket prices go down.

and will the warehouse preffered lawn seating place be more expensive?
:lol I wish

I would guess they would be the same, otherwise no one would probably do it. They would just pay more to sit in the pavillion.

[chiznaz]

Got a quick question about ticketing. I'm going to request the Selma show through warehouse 'cause I know I'll get tickets. I think I'm going to try and get The Woodlands show through ticket master:violent, just so I know I will get both shows.

My question is... does ticket master tell you when tickets will go on sell, or is it something that you have to just keep checking? I know it's far away, but I was just wondering.

[BrahmaBull]

Its alright I get a little defensive about my home venue, but I mean people's best bet for a hotel is in Robinson, plus there is so many things to do around there.


how far is robinson from the venue...i like your comment on so many things to do...any details? and which hotel is gonna be the best? im not rich or anything close to it, but ive had horrible hotel experiences..

mind if i write you down as my Pittsburgh contact? lol

[bertramcheeks22]

can someone gimme some details on germaine...like how far hotels are...or anything else u may wanna tell me

Go to Davematthewsband.com and where the tour dates are listed. On the side it says the on sale date for ticketmaster.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Camden, Nj. woooo. I'm sad that the rumored 3 nites in NJ isn't true. We still get 2 though :D

[Versacci41]

I'm stoked, three shows to go to in florida, the gorge(only a few days before my 21st birthday), and a possible festival. I'm gonna be broke for so long.

[chiznaz]

Go to Davematthewsband.com and where the tour dates are listed. On the side it says the on sale date for ticketmaster.

Yes, it is a stunner to have no Bay Area shows. Guess we were lucky to have a D&F show this year. Looks like a drive to Marysville or Carson is in order!

Yeah go ahead

Robinson is 25 mins away and its pretty much a straight line from there to the venue. In Robinson there is a mall, best buy, barnes & nobles, etc.

as for places to eat: Outback, Don Pablos, BW3, Krispy Kreme, Olive Garden, Max & Ermas, Joe's Crab Shack, Bucca de Beppo, Panera and others

Ill get info about the hotels in a bit

[chiznaz]

one more question I promise. I know Warehouse is supposed to tell you if you're confirmed or not before public selling, but do they always come through with this?

[Davenumber40]

Anybody have an idea on what the deal is with the Warehouse lawn seats? I think it kind of sucks. Part of the fun of the lawn is getting there super early and making the dash. But, I'll be sitting pavilion at 2 of my 3 shows anyway.

[kgoedman]

Never thought I see them leaving Shoreline off the list. I mean, it is one of the best venues on the West Coast has has consistently been the place where they played their best. Better than the Gorge.

[absltcit33]

Yeah go ahead

So does the lottery start after the ordering period is closed?

[MelissaDMBfan]

So does the lottery start after the ordering period is closed?
Yes. The loterry will start after the ordering period is closed, and we ususally find out before the ticketmaster sale date.

[MelissaDMBfan]

one more question I promise. I know Warehouse is supposed to tell you if you're confirmed or not before public selling, but do they always come through with this?
I think they always have. It used to be where you would get your seat assignement before the ticketmaster sale date, but now we have to wait.

[Kyle#41_7985]

I'm definitely excited. I'll be able to hit up both Meadows shows for sure and it would be great if a SPAC show appeared out of nowhere. I've never been there before and I'd love to see it since most people love it. I'm thinkin about either drivin to Mansfield or possibly Camden. Kinda excited about that warehouse lawn thing. That way, since I'm only a 2nd yr member, if I get stuck with lawn seats I'll at least be with good company in a decent part of the lawn. This is gonna be a good summer, I can feel it.

[jigger_3]

no Minneapolis...arrghhh
i guess its alpine or bust in 2004

I hit all three last year. Looks like only Alpine this year

[GHB#13]

Yes. The loterry will start after the ordering period is closed, and we ususally find out before the ticketmaster sale date.

one last warehouse question:

Does it matter when you request the tickets, or is it better to request on the first day??

[FunkyWinkerbean]

one last warehouse question:

It's a LOTTERY.

[trippy7]

one last warehouse question:

Does it matter when you request the tickets, or is it better to request on the first day??



doesn't matter, the only way to really get better tickets is to request them the day after the request period ends.

[Dancing Ants]

Don't feel bad. Florida got skipped last year. It just happens to be your turn.


yeah...but that was gonna be my first show. :(

[dmbnj79]

Looks like the only show I'm making is the two Gorge shows :)

[FPrefect61]

Only... :lol

i was thinking the same thing - but more the reason to convince the hubby for a couple of road trips. and now, the big sell - George, WA


Yah I'm only an hour away from kc so the stl trip will be a little road trip!!
I like the break too....a better chance of gettin off of work not to mention stl is the first then when they come back from their little break kc is the first!
This summer is gonna kick ass!!!

[recentlytrippin]

I don't know if it was mentioned in here but, The announcement made the USAToday, today.

[warriors1226]

is anyone with a seniority warehouse acct. going to have any open slots for either Mansfield, MA show? May be ambitious, but I'd really like to tape, and I need close seats in order to tape...shoot me a PM or email if you do :)

[TMoore4075]

that site didnt like that link...what place is that?

[Azdmb#41]

How many tickets can I get if I order through the warehouse? How much do they run? Can I join the warehouse now and still be able to get advanced tickets? Thanks

[ianseramur]

Last summer I ordered tickets from the Warehouse and I found out where my seats were after tickets went on sale to the Public....I knew that i was going to get some, but it didn't say where the seats were located....do you think maybe this year they'll let us know where are seats are before the public sale? It would help a lot.

[MelissaDMBfan]

You can only get two tickets per show. I think they run the same as ticketmaster, but you do have some convience charges, plus the 35 bucks it costs to join. You can join today and still get tickets for the tour, as long as you win in the lottery, but it seems like a lot of people are joining lately, so your senority isn't going to be good at all.

RE: Saratoga....Im a patron there, called over to them this am, basically I was tol they have no control its 'our friends' at clearchannel. My contact there was very surprised and he had heard lately that they were doing their two dates in August as usual... August 8-16th is a definate hole in the schedule ? Will DMB really trek from WI to NY and then back to KS ? Who knows but it is very very surprising no meadowlands and/or spac for this tour.. leads me to believe those shows will be in that August opening or possible festival venues...

as a NYer Im truly disappointed Camden or Hartford just not the same as the 4 day meadowlands/meadowlands/spac/spac tour Ive done the last few years...

Oh well I guess this years road trip will be:
UMB/tweeter/Verizon/verizon... with a double gorge closer !!!
Doesnt have the same ring though, buts its DMB nonetheless

Gas up the Winnebago !!!

[Holla9]

i remember back in 98 or 99 that spac wouldn't release their schedule and the band didn't have spac in their dates. we found out in april or may that there would be 2 shows there. there's hope.

I really hope so . Not seeing DMB at SPAC this year would be really disapointing :( :mad:

[fliggil]

DMB @ west palm + weekend = perfection. so happy i dont need to drive 12 hours to atlanta again, now i can take summer B courses and get my dave fix. the venue booking gods do listen...

February 19, 2004 10:55 AM - Dave Matthews, who went it alone late last year to support his Grammy-winning solo debut, reconnects with his bandmates this summer for a lengthy tour.

The reassembled Dave Matthews Band launches the outing in mid June, and is slated to hit amphitheaters throughout the U.S. and Canada until early September. More dates will be added, according to RCA Records, and ticket on-sale information hasn't been announced.

"Our time working on outside projects has made all of us really eager to get back out on the road again," violinist Boyd Tinsley said in a statement; like Matthews, Tinsley issued a solo album, titled "True Reflections," during last year's Dave Matthews Band hiatus.

Matthews' inaugural solo effort, "Some Devil," surfaced last September. The set features the cut "Gravedigger," which earlier this month won the Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.

Dave Matthews Band's most-recent studio album is 2002's "Busted Stuff." Last November, the group issued its latest live collection, "Central Park Concert," which captures the group's New York City performance last summer. The show drew more than 100,000 fans and raised over $2 million for public education and New York City parks, according to a press release. Next month, the band heads into the studio to begin pre-production on the follow-up to "Busted Stuff." No word yet on when the new album will land in stores.
is this thread worthy? i fear it may get lost in here

[raven rr]

good question, i'll be going there for the first time this year :D

you're going to love it! i'll never miss a 2 nighter at starlake!!! i might actualy do lawn seats for 1 of the shows... money is tight. maybe this year i'll get one of those WH upgrades that i've heard about but that are still a myth to me!

[dmb2much40]

do you camp there or get a hotel? i was looking for a show to camp at this year.

also a question about the warehouse....if i request all 5 shows i want to go to, will they say "oh well she's already confirmed for blossom so we won't give her columbus"? do you have got a better chance of getting tickets if you only request 1 show instead of 5?

i only requested blossom last year, got them, and bought my columbus tickets through ticketmaster. but i'm not sure how fast star lake sells out.

[MelissaDMBfan]

^ Its all a lottery. Doesn't matter how many you choose.

[dmb2much40]

^thanks.

[joeyfine]

can someone gimme some details on germaine...like how far hotels are...or anything else u may wanna tell me

its not far from Columbus it self.. hotels are close by.. after the show head down to osu ;)

i only requested blossom last year, got them, and bought my columbus tickets through ticketmaster. but i'm not sure how fast star lake sells out.

i've never camped there... i've always found people that live in the area to crash with :)
i've come to believe that the WH tix are actully random, with me getting tix for the shows i request, but those tix being the shittiest possible seats in the pavilion (or in seats, but last row so i'm not even covered by the pavilion). but i'm there! that's all that matters!
last year at both shows there were still seats available thru the venue box office at starlake. plus instant ticketing has always had lawn tix for starlake.
i might try ticketmaster for 1 show this year just to see if my seats will be any better than thru WH.

[joeyfine]

Looks like the only show I'm making is the two Gorge shows :)

darn u get prolly the 2 best shows of the year... poor u

[joeyfine]

ok Ohio people one more question about Blossom. Is there any hotels near by that would be good to stay at?


ya a ton... right off I-80 about 2 1/2 miles north from blossom there are a slew of hotels. about 6 miles south of blossom off I-77 & I-76 there is Downtown Akron With a Crap Load so you are good either way you come from

[UNLTrpt]

http://www.livedaily.com/news/6135.html

is this thread worthy? i fear it may get lost in here

Best to keep it in here. But I had a feeling when I saw the tour dates that if they pump out that album fast enough that they could add an extra month/month and a half to the beginning of the tour. Maybe a late April, Early may start???? I guess I'm not all that sure how they've done it in the past. This is my first tour with Ants and for jumping into the craziness half way through the day I can certifiably say that we are all nuts. But it's fun.

where did u sit at blossom...

[joeyfine]

no, blossom is in the middle of nowhere. you'll probably have to stay about 30 minutes away. look for something in brecksville.

blossom isnt in the middle of no where... its 6 miles from akron... I-80 is right down the road where a million hotels are located. if ur lookin for a hotel try, Cuyahoga falls, stow, boston Hts, Akron.

[Davenumber40]

For the love of God, everyone take a deep breath. I'll bet they are gonna hit Shoreline and SPAC. Even if they don't, you'll just have to f'ing travel to see them. I wish they would have scheduled a show in my dorm room, it would have been convienent as hell. You ought to be glad you get to see them at all. They could have said to hell with the fans, we'll take a summer off. Or you could be Marc in Uraguay. How's that for inconvienent?

[dmb2much40]

where did u sit at blossom...

5th row of the second section in the pavillion. basically in the middle. good seats. blossom got a whole lot better after the renovation.

and blossom IS in the middle of nowhere. it's about 30 minutes from cleveland and 20 from akron. the city it's in (cuyahoga falls) is very small. the road to the venue is a single lane, 35 mph road. it's always backed up for at least 5 miles. i suggest getting there very early. if you want to know the backroads there (not the exit off of 77), PM me and i'll get ya there a lot faster.

[joeyfine]

i love blossom :) such a great venue :) cant wait for the seats in the pavillion again :)

[dmb2much40]

i love blossom :) such a great venue :) cant wait for the seats in the pavillion again :)

:thumbsup

i honestly cannot believe what better sound there is there now that the renovation is complete. last year was great, the sound was great, the band seemed to be having fun. can't wait :)

i'll be there tailgating real early :)

[elmachobaracho]

One of the weirdes venues on the tour is Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. This is the first big DMB show in the Baltimore metro area. The only other times DMB has played a big show in MD was the HORDE tour, and a show in Landover which is pretty much DC metro area. This date falls right between NY and CT. This is a very interesting and unusual move for DMB.
However, for whatever fans attend the show, the capacity is only 15,000 and there really arnt any bad seats. I would like to go but this show is in the middle of the week, so I'll probably hit Hershey and then head back home at the end of the weekend.

[Soberbeah]

hey sadly being from long island it kind of sucks that there's no msg, no giants, no continental, not even spac. i was wondering what people with the same problem are gonna do. i might consider traveling, not sure what the closest venue is so if anyone could help me out.

[Mickey Carson]

Gorge here I come...it's nice to see the Ants boards back in full swing :)

[joeyfine]

No spac????? DEFinately makes me want to cry..... i was counting on that as a last dave trip with all my friends before we all go off to college.... :violent

[bertramcheeks22]

i love blossom :) such a great venue :) cant wait for the seats in the pavillion again :)
i had pavilion seats last year too...i hope ticketmaster is as good to me this year...

[chicago62785]

No Soliders Field this year that sucks, but hey I'll take two shows at Alpine Valley.

[daveywavy]

:monkey i am soooooo glad that the dates going around about a week ago were false! :multi :bounce

[bigeyedharper]

carson city?

[OARDMB41]

I know many are disappointed about Saratoga but they will be in that area and New York has never been let down by DMB. Want to try real Misery? How about 2001 when they skipped the whole state of Ohio! A state they usually have 5-6 shows in a year. I have a feeling we will see some more dates. Seems sort of a light schedule for them.

why in the hell is everyone so concerned about there not being a SPAC show? i mean seriously.

how many people here are not going to see a show just because they aren't playing SPAC?

get over it. at least you are all seeing shows.

SPAC has a great atmosphere - I love the Adirondack Mountains , and have a summer house 30 minutes away to stay at . Sure , I can go to Hartford , its only 2 hours or so away , but I don't want to :p I think SPAC will be added in though ... either that or NY will get the DMB festival :cool:

[mattyk72]

It's awfully early for SPAC to have anything announced. Don't worry, it will be added.

I love the fact that they are skipping over this place this year.... way overrated imo. Just a real pain in the ass as far as a comfortable concert experience is concerned. Much more surprised that they skipped over Shoreline this year.... what a great amphitheatre that place is..... a tour without San Fran will not be the same this year.

[Gater1848]

I haven't had a chance to look.... How many shows are at SPAC this summer?

[FrankTheTank]

I haven't had a chance to look.... How many shows are at SPAC this summer? three

[penn darvis]

Idiots are playing at Home Depot Center again. That place is a giant shit hole.

Look at the gap from Marysville to the Gorge. Either the West is getting their own festival or DMB is playing at some more venues, like Shoreline.

[jaird]

the northwest got totally screwed!! no vancouver means no shows for me.

[penn darvis]

The west in general got screwed

[PseNanP]

One of the weirdes venues on the tour is Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. This is the first big DMB show in the Baltimore metro area. The only other times DMB has played a big show in MD was the HORDE tour, and a show in Landover which is pretty much DC metro area. This date falls right between NY and CT. This is a very interesting and unusual move for DMB.
However, for whatever fans attend the show, the capacity is only 15,000 and there really arnt any bad seats. I would like to go but this show is in the middle of the week, so I'll probably hit Hershey and then head back home at the end of the weekend.
Yeah, I noticed this too. It is very small, so I really hope I can get tickets because it is only like 20 minutes away from me :)

Cheers
Sean

[Holemandaddy]

wtf?!?!?! no dallas, okc or little rock? thanks, now i can't go to a show this year :violent

[WalkingOnGreySt]

opening the tour at UMB! GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!

My feelings exactly. Im so pumped for this right now. . . .the only thing I was hoping for was the 2 night stand that was rumored....but I won't complain seeing that they are not going to some placed that they normally do. So, anyone have any expirience at opening concerts? Do they usually put on a good show for the first one of the tour? :) :bounce :multi

Go St.Louis! Can't believe we got the First Stop!
I'll be there for sure. . . . Hope Warehouse hooks me up...
Thanks,

Steve.

I know how you feel man. I can undestand OKC and AR, but NOT dallas...wtf? dallas is bigger than SELMA! dammit!

[WalkingOnGreySt]

Today is a great day to be a Missourian!!!!
It's Feb. sunny and 60 degrees........and DMB start their tour in St. Louie!!!
Woo Hoo!!!!!! :multi

This is so true, what a Great day in the STL!

[il bacio dolce]

Yep. Nice day to get the good news.

[Holemandaddy]

I know how you feel man. I can undestand OKC and AR, but NOT dallas...wtf? dallas is bigger than SELMA! dammit!
san antonio really. but okc was only 3/4 full last year, and the crowds have not been great at dallas, even though they have both been good shows

[weljenks]

Never thought I see them leaving Shoreline off the list. I mean, it is one of the best venues on the West Coast has has consistently been the place where they played their best. Better than the Gorge.

If shoreline is available on 9/1/04 I wouldn't be surprised if they added a show.

[jngshin]

as long as home depot is there, im happy. only venue i can go to

[dmb2much40]

hey joe - can you tell us what that opening 3 night stand in the midwest was supposed to be? just curious......

[joeyfine]

Everyone is worried about shows not on the list but remember... there will prolly be a fall/winter tour this year if we get a new album this summer :) so dont fret! u'll get your show ;)

[Bartender84]

people, please calm down. It was mentioned a few pages back that there WILL be more dates added. so just be patient

[Dancing Ants]

how do you know?

[JonTheRvelator]

I'm getting sick of all these venue threads...

[#36firedancer]

Selma's crowd last year was a lot better than it's ever been in the past... :)

[BustedJeff]

I sure hope SPAC gets added. I was looking foward to that this year.
