Official FLORIDA 2004 Thread...

[Jon Gruden]

The boys are coming back for 3 nights this summer....This more than makes up for last summer I think....The new Tampa amphitheatre looks awesome....Tons of time to plan this whole long weekend too....

[willnole]

Nothing makes up for completely skipping us.

But a Seek Up Opener and a Halloween closer would be a good start.

[Mark]

if they did do that, Will, i would never speak to you again.

[willnole]

Two Words: Family Vacation

Tell your wife you're going to Disney World. When you get to Orlando, tell her Disney's closed for repairs so lets go visit your friend in Boca.

[trippy7]

should be a good run, and lost of material should be played over 3 nights.

[willnole]

Y'all should check out the website for the brand new Tampa Bay Amphitheatre. We actually might get to use clean bathrooms.

http://tampabayamp.com/

[trippy7]

yeah i checked it out last week, looks nice. hopefully i will get some good seats from the warehouse.

also i am calling a seek up opener for 1 of the 3 shows.

[willnole]

Florida hasn't seen Seek Up or Halloween in almost a decade.

[trippy7]

Florida hasn't seen Seek Up or Halloween in almost a decade.


almost, but i saw it as an opener in 96 at my first show :thumbsup time to bring that monster back. still haven't seen halloween though :mad:

[willnole]

Surprisingly I'm really looking forward to going to the Tampa show over the WPB shows.

[trippy7]

yeah i have a feeling they might pull some good shit off there.

[lightsdown41]

now we just have to wait 5 months. woohoo!

[darbini]

Can't wait for that new amphitheater. I grew up in Clearwater but I've been up at school at UF, so I didn't know they were building that.

Also, on www.dmband.com if you click for the WPB shows it says "Sound Advice Amphitheater". then for the venue website it says www.marsmusicamp.com. Then under ticket info they call it coral sky amphitheater. I wish they could just call it coral sky like it was initially, not all these corporation smothered names.

I think it's going to become a Tweeter Center Amp soon too :)

[Sutmaster6]

It will be a great summer!

[Parker]

Huge. back to back for me in west palm hopefully. cant afford all three.

[autumn1214]

I fully support this thread. I'm glad the band finally realized that florida fans don't suck. I will most definitely be at all 3 of the shows.

Holy fuck! We're practically neighbors! I live in Dunedin.

yeah ticket prices are getting a little out of hand if you ask me.

[letsburnoneb]

i wont be there, cuz i live in CT, but i was hoping you guys would get a few shows this time around

[yetanotherone]

i'm stoked. i became a dmb fan after '03 dates were announced, and was -----><----- this close to getting to atlanta (i live in tallahasssee), but it didn't work out, so i've been longing to see any kind of show, and now it seems completely possible for me to see 4 shows. yes, this is awesome.

[Jake]

I'm probably hitting Tampa at least, maybe WPB #1 instead.

[Sutmaster6]

I'm probably hitting Tampa at least, maybe WPB #1 instead.

I will def hit up all of these, it's too sweet of a deal to have 3 in this wonderful state and not hit them all. We should get an antsmarching party bus and have a 4 day bash

[ericvol]

I live in tennessee, and i am sencing a late july early august beach trip with a little dave matthews band involved! HELL YEAH!

[newscane]

Timing is awful for me. Right in the middle of sweeps, meaning no vacation time allowed. So WPB is out of the question. I may be able to swing Tampa or Atlanta. So, I'm looking to hit up SD and PHX. I was planning to visit relatives out there anyways... so now that visit will just match DMB tour dates. But this sucks... 3 shows within a 4 hour drive, and I don't think I can hit any of them... grrrr.

[Jeffrey99]

I can't wait....3 dates in FL!!! I've never seen a bad show in Tampa, Dave loves playing there, should be cool to see them at this new venue too. All the shows at the Ice Palace have been good. For sure I am gonna catch these 3 and Atlanta. Now its just time to decide what shows to hit on the annual road trip up the coast. I'm thinking CT and Camden, maybe Virginia Beach. Never been CT Meadows, but it will definitly be a good time. I got to see them in Camden in '02 for my 21st birthday, and this year it will be another birthday night with DMB in CT...can't wait. After the energy of last summers tour and the 2 shows I caught with D&F, I can't wait to see what the band puts together for us this summer!!

[mikesdmbweirdo]

Nothing makes up for completely skipping us.

But a Seek Up Opener and a Halloween closer would be a good start.



dude your totally right and yeah those would be awesome to do ... I hope I really hope they do. And I can go to ALL THREE!!!!!!!!!!!
:lol

[cowboyroie]

I'm so ready to go to all four in the SE...but I can't pass up the Gorge. If my ride comes through, I'm so there. If not, then I'll just have to pray for Seek Up, Halloween or Dreaming Tree in one of those four shows. It's not guaranteed that they would play em at the Gorge but that doesn't matter...IT'S THE GORGE.

[fliggil]

im up at UF also, so excited that the boys are coming down south, still about an hour or so drive from where i live in miami, but cant wait. i saw pearl jam at sound advice amp from the 7th row abotu a year ago and the setting was real nice, im sure it will be great to see the band there. who knows maybe on the day in between tampa and WPB they come and play at Sidebar here in gainesville :)

[Parker]

i feel obligated to see all three now. who knows when i will ge a chance at another florida show.

[Jake]

my only complaint, if there is one, is that 2 yrs ago during the July show at WPB, the temp was around 309 degrees. it was unbelievably hot, so that's my only fear about a July outside show.

maybe it'll rain or something that day to help it out a bit.

[luckycharmscat]

I know your fears, I was thinking the same thing. A July show outside in FL will be HOT. It's like living on the face of the sun here. But an outside concert accoustics are much better than indoor arena. I can't wait.

[bartender2002]

i wish i could go to the florida concert that would be amazing

[willnole]

It's not THAT hot. Plus are you really gonna complain when the the girls decide to wear shorts and bikini tops to cool down?

I think not. :)

[willnole]

Well it looks like DMB will be the first to play at the Tampa Bay amp.

Right now the website lists Rush as the first concert and that's on 07/30 and DMB plays the night before. That'll be pretty cool seeing them in a brand new place.

[newscane]

I don't remember it being too hot on the first night at WPB two years ago. I remember it rained for most of the afternoon, so I think that cooled things down. But I wasn't there the second night... don't know how it was then.

[luckycharmscat]

yeah i'm going to see Rush (30th Anniversary tour on the 30th.) The day after I found out I was going, DMB tour dates came out and I was lke YES!! This is workng out so great. Same city, same venue, same weekend.

[WhyShouldWeWorr]

Holy fuck! We're practically neighbors! I live in Dunedin.

PALM HARBOR IN THE HOUUUUUSE!!!...born in Dunedin ;)

[trippy7]

it doesn't matter where you are on the east coast in july, it will be hot and hummid and any venue.

[devils744]

i might be starting grad school in ft. lauderdale at the end of april and they are playing west palm a day before my b-day so i might go the 2nd night if i can find anyone to go with me.

[Parker]

it is hot and really no big deal. it was muddy in the lawn at WPB in 02' which is the only downside to rain. and tailgating could be hurt by it. but really, either way i am gonna be so happy to just be at a DMB show again.

[jayscerbo]

People say Florida is hot in the summer but having moved from NJ it's just as hot here (FL) in July as it is in NJ. Dave played a couple years ago at Office Depot Center formerly National Car Rental Center. The acoustics were horrible, saw Jimmy Buffett there and it felt like I was listening to the teacher on Charlie Brown. Never go to a show there unless you've got primo seats. Sound Advice aka Mars Music aka Coral Sky is a great place to see a show as long as your not on the long. I'm going to hit the Tampa show and (1) WPB show.

[elmachobaracho]

I'll be at UF for their summer semester and probably will miss the 3 FL shows so I can afford to vacation to Texas and see the 3 there. I might go to one of them if im lucky enough to win concert tickets from the radio or something. who knows?

[Number27]

PALM HARBOR IN THE HOUUUUUSE!!!...born in Dunedin ;)
Holy fuck! Pinellas is where its at!

[fliggil]

:ugh:


whats the confused face for?

[cowboyroie]

A show at the O dome would be nice. If anything, bring Dave and Tim back down here to UF.

[Number27]

Gators rock. So do the Tampa Spartans!

[fliggil]

ya id love to see d+t back at the odome, i doubt it would happen though... :(

[Warehouse41]

What are your comments regarding the venue in West Palm? Is the energy normally good and is the venue sound itself good? I am just trying to figure out if i want to take the trip down there from Atlanta to see the 2 night stand. Do you think it would be better just to drive up to Antioch or is West Palm usually good?

[newscane]

The WPB venue is OK, crowds are OK. I've seen them there once, and I was on the lawn... the only time I've been on the lawn. From what I've seen, Antioch usually gets pretty good guests. So if going to WPB means missing Antioch, I might lean toward Antioch.

[willnole]

I'd say I've seen crowds all around the country. Before I saw a show anywhere else, all I heard was how Florida crowds suck, blah blah blah. Well it's really bullshit. The energy of the crowds is as good as anywhere I've been. If you get a good seat on the lawn, accoustics and vision will be ok. I will agree that when you're at the top of the lawn , it's not the best concert experience, to say the least.

[Warehouse41]

How does west palm compare to lakewood (or hifi buys) in atlanta?

[Jake]

West Palm is nice compared to lakewood. but it's going to be unbelievably hot there in July. that is my worst fear.


2002 was aweful in WPB, shitty songs played, and aweful weather made it unfun (for me at least).

[Warehouse41]

Hey Jake,
In what ways is West Palm better than Lakewood? JW cause i have been to lakewood for a few shows, but i havent been to West Palm? IS the crowd better down there or is it the sound? what makes it better? JW
Thanks man

[newscane]

Weather could have been worse. I was there the first night, and was glad it didn't rain. That was my third concert, and it poured during my first two.

But you're right... setlists left much to be desired, on the first night at least. The nice thing was hearing the first Loving Wings, but on the lawn at least, since nobody knew what it was, nobody would stop making noise.

[newscane]

Thanks man

WPB is also relatively easy to get out of, compared to HiFi Buys/Lakewood. That may have been helped by the fact that I was late to the WPB show, and parked near the "front" of the lot. And the fact that my cousins live all of 15 minutes from the venue, so my trip home wasn't very long.

[trippy7]

whats the confused face for?


because why would dmb stop in gainsville after tampa and before wpb. :lol

[fliggil]

cause dave+tim have come here before, it would make me happy, and youre a jackass, but other than that, i dunno...


in comparing hifi buys to wpb id say theyre rather similar in size and quality of acoustics youre gonna hear. i saw dmb from the lawn at hifi and didnt miss a note, i saw pearl jam at wpb from the 8th row and it couldnt have been any better. im just glad the band is coming down south again, if you want the best quality, listen to a cd, if u want the experience, its concert time

[willnole]

HiFi Buys is a shitty amphetheatre in a shitty neighborhood.

[trippy7]

cause dave+tim have come here before, it would make me happy, and youre a jackass, but other than that, i dunno...




well lets use some common sense here shall we. tampa->gainsville=3+hours

gainsville->wpb4+hours pushing 5 so yeah because dave and tim played there in 97(and for some reason have never been back) dmb will leave on a thursday night to play friday in gainsville then pack up and head down to wpb to play a 2 night run. it's all starting to make sense to me now. :lol

[fliggil]

dude youre a total idiot. like no offense, but i picture you being the kid in elementary school who everyone told you gullable was written on the ceiling and u looked every single time and started crying. it would be amazing if dmb came to gainesville, i know it wont happen, but its called dreaming, the fact u are still carrying on this conversation is beyond me, and gainesville to tampa is 1:45, i have friends that live there and go all the time.

over 2hrs and that's exactly what i thought of you :lol

[ethaxton]

Im thinking of taking a vacation with my girlfriend to WPB and seeing both nights and then chillin on the beach for a few days

[lightsdown41]

I think i spent longer getting in and out of that parking lot than the 8 hour drive up to Atlanta. Liked the ampitheater and def the show, but it was a shitty neighborhood. Haven't been to a WPB show yet, but it's looking like I'll be at both nights with a bunch of friends, and the place sounds nice. Not worried about weather, it's always the same anyway. Expect rain and a ton of humidity. Here's to 2 sweet shows :babe

There were a ton of us Floridians up there for that show... I sat behind a couple from Tampa, talked to 2 girls from Stetson U in the lot... Will (willnole) was there somewhere -- he's from around Boca... lots of us up there.

[willnole]

The ATL show was great last year. Finally saw my first TSTJL.

I really hate the venue though. The ATL needs to tear that place down and build a new amphitheatre in a nice neighborhood.

[autumn1214]

Hey all you UF-ers (myself included)

Just thought I'd let you know in case you hadn't heard, Tim Reynolds is playing at the O-dome next Thursday ;)

[Jon Gruden]

it is hot and really no big deal. it was muddy in the lawn at WPB in 02' which is the only downside to rain. and tailgating could be hurt by it. but really, either way i am gonna be so happy to just be at a DMB show again.it's hot down here but really it's hot everywhere...I was in wisconsin last summer and I thought it was hotter there than here in florida....it was hot as shit up there...

[Jon Gruden]

Hey Jake,

Thanks manlawn in west plam much better I think...the lawn in atlanta seems flat and I didn't care for that brick wall that was around the top...lawn is also much smaller i think...the tailgating was ok but perfer i think tampa and west palm the nod on that also...people in atlanta show up at like 5:30 for the show.....we got last year at like 2 o'clock and and were almost the only ones there...

[Jon Gruden]

west palm baby!!!!!!!

[Jake]

I'm doing nite 1 WPB. Maybe, and I mean probably not, but maybe doing Tampa. Haven't requested Tampa yet... 57 bones a piece is a bit steep

[Jon Gruden]

who here is from orlando...or living in orlando right now...

[fliggil]

Hey all you UF-ers (myself included)

Just thought I'd let you know in case you hadn't heard, Tim Reynolds is playing at the O-dome next Thursday ;)


already got my plans to be there :) i am working with the odome security staff to try and videotape his little support concert. will keep u informed, btw some people on nancies are talking about getting together for the show

[luckycharmscat]

who here is from orlando...or living in orlando right now...

I live about 30 minutes outside of Orlando.

[Jake]

I live about 30 minutes outside of Orlando.



I'd say I'm more like 11 miles outside Orlando. no one really 'lives' in Orlando anymore... :)

[Jon Gruden]

I'd say I'm more like 11 miles outside Orlando. no one really 'lives' in Orlando anymore... :)well yeah thats what i ment anyways....wondering how people live around here...

[Jon Gruden]

anyone here going to the gorge?

[wemetdave]

I live 5 minutes from Downtown Orlando

[luckycharmscat]

Orlando needs an amphitheatre. That would really help alot of us out.

[Jon Gruden]

i've always said that...but i don't know how much fun it would be with the majority of the people here not really being fans good music...i'd don't know it would cool to have though...who wants to play at th td waterhouse anways...

[luckycharmscat]

oh I know the td waterhouse is reserved for justin timberlake or kelly clarkson. If i ever won the big lotto, and I mean big like 30 mil plus. I would definitely open an amphitheatre in Orlando. "If you build it, they will come"

[Jake]

i've always said that...but i don't know how much fun it would be with the majority of the people here not really being fans good music...i'd don't know it would cool to have though...who wants to play at th td waterhouse anways...


Disney dropped the ball on that. They did have some plans for one, but it was just an idea. It would've been Due North of Animal Kingdom if you're looking at an aerial map of WDW. they had the idea of building an ampetheater and a roller coaster park in the same area. but now that tampa beat them to the punch, it'll never happen.

[newscane]

I just put in my request for Tampa tix. Not even sure if I can get the day off from work... but I figure I might as well try my luck with WH, then fight that battle. It's one show, unlike the massive plan I needed to put in place before requesting the west coast shows. If things don't work out... well, I might just be selling them in this thread.

[luckycharmscat]

I know its early, but I was wondering where to stay in Tampa. Near the Amphitheatre. Does anyone have plans yet? I saw a commercial last night on TV for the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino opening this weekend. We're thinking about going down this weekend and checking it out.

Personally, I plan to take the free route, staying with relatives (which is what I did for the winter 2002 tour stop in Tampa). With the amphitheatre being near the intersection of I-4 and I-75, most "popular" places should be pretty convenient (assuming you have a car...).

[darbini]

grew up in Palm Harbor, went to East Lake, go to UF now

[saxyroro]

Hey all. Usually on Nancies. I'd love to meet some AM peeps too! I'm in Miami and will make the drive up to Tampa. Anywhere good to stay?

[babydmbfan]

hi all...Nancies refugee too...I live about 15 minutes from SoundAdvice and looks like I got my reserved...they hit my credit card last night!

[Number27]

TD Waterhouse wasn't that bad, the security sucked for Howie Day though.

Tailgate at West Palm or Tampa? Anyone, anyone?

[babydmbfan]

Tailgate at West Palm or Tampa? Anyone, anyone?
i'll take some of that action....I know a few nancies that will be there!

[willnole]

TD Waterhouse wasn't that bad, the security sucked for Howie Day though.

Tailgate at West Palm or Tampa? Anyone, anyone?
I'll be tailgating for all three.

[Jon Gruden]

I'll be tailgating for all three.has i will also....not sure if my group will be staying over in tampa though...not everyone in our group is going to the tampa show and we're leaving for west plam from orlando on friday...so i'm not sure weather it makes sense for us to stay in tampa....if we didn't have such a large group going to the west plam shows i wouldn't care how everyone ended up down there...but we do so i'm trying to be some what organized...

[willnole]

I'll be driving from So FL to Tampa the I've got a SHITLOAD of friends, from work, from andts, and from college all going to the WPB shows.

Tailgating is the way to go in West Palm and I hope to see at least Carlos and Ang Representin!

I really cant wait. :D

[babydmbfan]

Will...maybe we will get to meet this time..Our Atlanta's tailgating was nixed due to a girl who couldn't handle her herb! :lol

[saxyroro]

Will...maybe we will get to meet this time..Our Atlanta's tailgating was nixed due to a girl who couldn't handle her herb! :lol
Did we meet in ATL? hehehe... My car was central... :lol

[babydmbfan]

Did we meet in ATL? hehehe... My car was central... :lol
I was in the Teal Ford Van that said nancies.org and "Last Stop Bound" on the windows..I was parked in the back lot.

[fliggil]

anyone here from Miami who is going to the Tampa show? im getting tix for both WPB shows, but am contemplating the 4 hour drive to Tampa for 1 night. i have a place to stay for free.

[willnole]

Just got confirmed for all three shows. I can't wait!!!!

[ethaxton]

Confirmed for reserved seats both nights at WPB, my girlfriend and I will be hitting the va beach show and then driving down for a week to WPB. Should be crazy.

[Parker]

me and my girlfriend wil be at WPB for both shows, reserved and very excited. cant wait for those seating assignments.

[luckycharmscat]

wow what a nice suprise to wake up to this morning. I'm confirmed for reserved in Tampa. I didn't think we would find out this soon. Now they better get busy building that new amphitheatre. Last weekend when I was in Tampa they had barely broke ground on the place.

[saxyroro]

Confirmed all 3 for real seats score!

[Jon Gruden]

confirmed all three night at the GORGE!!!

[maxpower]

I'm Florida bound!!!

[willnole]

It's about time you show up here. :D

[maxpower]

Well, I do what I can. :)

Damn, I'm so pumped! I may even start an Official Utah 2004 Thread.

That's right...

[willnole]

So now you have a Utah thread too.

[maxpower]

Pretty much. Someone else made it though, so it's a good thing I didn't make a duplicate thread. Didn't want people jumping my ass.

Or did I....

[Mark]

florida sucks

[autumn1214]

florida sucks


well florida doesn't like you either ;)

Anyone's thoughts on Daniel Lanois opening? I predict maybe a Dave cameo for the Maker...?

[mikesdmbweirdo]

Halloween has never been played in the state of florida....anyone on this one with me?? :bounce

[Jake]

Halloween has never been played in the state of florida....anyone on this one with me?? :bounce



that is the one song that keeps me coming back to shows to hear it. one of these days....

[barefoot]

I am going to WPB for the first night, havent decided yet on the second. I am flying in for 3 days and want to spend some time with friends.

[fliggil]

I just listened to most of Lanois' most recent CD, and I am quite disappointed, it's too mellow, I want something like Robert Randolph to get me pumped up, now Lanois to put me to sleep.

[carterfan9]

I am in full support of this thread!! As eveyone else, I am excited about going to all three shows. I'm from Orlando, and as well all know, Orlando sucks ass. Well at least for DMB concerts. 9/6/00 was horrible acoustics. I don't mind traveling at all to see the boys. And to make it even better Daniel Lanois is opening. Really hoping for Maker or Wynona. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Here's to an awesome summer!

[Jon Gruden]

can't wait to see what songs he sits in on....

[fliggil]

just curious, I see people selling tix on ebay with their seat numbers, is WH giving them out now?

[ktyladie]

yeah i live in coral springs, will def make it to wpb shows..but never see him in tampa..

[willnole]

So how did everyone do today buying tickets?

edit: nevermind Iour tix go on sale next week.

[seekup41nancies]

I am flying to Tampa from Vermont to see the show. My best friend just moved there from here, so I am looking forward to it. The RED SOX will also be in town then.......... Cant wait.

i might be starting grad school in ft. lauderdale at the end of april and they are playing west palm a day before my b-day so i might go the 2nd night if i can find anyone to go with me.

I was just about to ask if anyone wanted to carpool from here :)

[fliggil]

im gonna pick up some lawn seats tomoro for the Tampa show, just found a friend who will drive up with me from Miami. anyways I was considering the 300 level seats, but i cant find a seating chart anywhere. none of the ticket brokers have it. the official website of the amp seems to be down. i dont wanna wind up with awful seats, id rather be comftorable on the lawn. any suggestions? 12 hours away...

[uncle__fester]

it doesn't matter now since tickemaster is such a shit website. nothing but lawn in less than 30 seconds

[fliggil]

i got section 305.

[seekup41nancies]

I got Sec. 302 row BB in Tampa of TM right at 10am.....coming from Vermont.....Good times...

[autumn1214]

Did anyone get anything better than 300 sections for Tampa? The reserved section of Tampa is HUGE (like 10,000 seats) so I doubt that Warehouse got all of those... I'm guessing maybe because it's a new venue that they're keeping a lot of tickets to give out as promotions?

[Jon Gruden]

dave is really getting pumped up over the airwaves here in orlando...kind of a shock to hear that around these parts...but very nice to hear finally...

Not even the ticketbrokers have better than Section 300 seats. It's weird, I'm guessing you're right and ClearChannel, the owner of this venue, is holding back tickets. I guess I'll have to listen close on the radio for giveaways, what else would they be doing with these tickets?

[trippy7]

yeah i live in coral springs, will def make it to wpb shows..but never see him in tampa..


umm i would pick tampa over west palm anyday of the week.

[UCFish]

I got section 101 row L seat 3. I bought a single ticket because I am moving from Orlando to Tampa in June and don't know anyone yet. Hopefully will meet some of you especially if you are from the tampa area.

For sure. The shows at the Ice Palace in 2000 and 2001 were amazing even though the acoustics sucked. There's something about the Tampa crowd that got the band going.

[luckycharmscat]

does anyone have a link for the Tampa seating chart? I know tampabayamp.com has a seating chart, but its not detailed with section #'s

[willnole]

I must disagree, Tampa in "02 had the least energy of any show I've been to. People just weren't hyped for the show.

Where were you sitting? Cuz I was in the nosebleeds (think back of 300's here) and I still thought the crowd was incredible

[newscane]

I must disagree, Tampa in "02 had the least energy of any show I've been to. People just weren't hyped for the show.

Atlanta the next night was better, but I think the Tampa 02 crowd might have been a bit better than Sunrise in 01.

[ktyladie]

well, im goin to both WPB shows.. and i plan on NY 7/4 & San Fran 9/11..so i live w/o goin to Tampa...

02 was a horrible year for dmb imo, all the florida shows were kind of slack. especially the tampa show. not ot mention that they closed with wya, first show i have ever walked out of completely pissed off. i just think the crowd couldn't get into it.

99,00,01 in tampa were great.

[bullbanker]

[cowboyroie]

I must disagree, Tampa in "02 had the least energy of any show I've been to. People just weren't hyped for the show.

I agree. The 12/10 show was nothing compared to the others. Maybe because it was in the middle of the week....finals week. Who knows.

[lightsdown41]

dave is really getting pumped up over the airwaves here in orlando...kind of a shock to hear that around these parts...but very nice to hear finally...
I gave up on the radio a long time ago, it's definately weird to hear dave on there a little bit.
Going to both WPB shows with a bunch of friends, only an hour north from here so i figure we'll be hanging out for a bit tailgating. Excited about Lanois guesting, should be cool. See everyone there.

section 02. dead center... would've rather been off to the side and closer, but it's better than last time at west palm... if anyone is stuck with section 04, you're better off sitting in the lawn.

[originator_i_am]

Sound Advice Ampitheatre is great. As long as you're not at the very top of the lawn, you'll be able to see fine, regardless of where you are.

I'm only going to night 2 in WPB. Lawn. It's my first DMB show, so I'm very excited.

[AU1880]

lawn at WPB is not even worth the trip

edit: ....so i found a way down to reserved. security there is sooooo lax, just run right through the guards.

[originator_i_am]

lawn at WPB is not even worth the trip
If you can get to the front of the lawn, then it's well worth it. Besides, it always feels nice to have spent 20 bucks less than the guy who is in the last row of the back section, and be about 10 feet further back. Not bad.

How is Tailgating in Tampa?

[newscane]

How is Tailgating in Tampa?

brand new venue, so I don't think anyone will really know...

[seekup41nancies]

brand new venue, so I don't think anyone will really know...
You coming from FL to SPAC????

[newscane]

You coming from FL to SPAC????

yes. Around the time the rumored dates were announced in February, my family was in the process of planning a trip to visit my grandparents, who live in the Albany area. I said that was a perfect time, knowing DMB could be playing at SPAC. Originally I was going to fly up the 3rd, come home the 6th. About three weeks ago, when nobody had heard much about the festival, and there was more chatter about SPAC, I looked into getting a few more days off from work, and going up on the 1st. I booked my plane ticket, going up on the 1st, about 4 days before the dates were announced. Good timing on my part. Long answer to a short question.

I should also add that I went from FL to SPAC last summer. Since FL got completely skipped, and Atlanta wasn't going to be enough for me, I looked for other places to travel. SPAC was a 2-night stand, with good timing, and a place where I had a free place to stay... so I went. Great venue, great shows. So I'm going back.

Tampa Bay Amphitheatre is now Ford Amphitheathre. Ford announed their purchase of the naming rights today.

Yeah agreed, i got sold fake PHISH tickets in lot, summer 2000. RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GATE TOO!

I loved Antioch, TN.. and outside Atlanta is cool if you have time,

I live an hour south of WPB, goin to both shows., wish I could make Tampa..:D

Do you have people to stay with? I'm now thinking about flying from Michigan but I'd probably be by myself, so I'd want some people to share a hotel with. Are you going to WPB too? I'd like to, but of course I would need a ride from someone.

Are any Tampa people making the drive to WPB?

[JimiThang1]

since the new Amp is close to I-4...i'm sure we'll have plenty of FHP there to help us to the parking lot.

Hmmm that could be a reason why there is no tailgating...the fact that the amp is right on top of I-4. Hell the lawn is a beer bottle throw away to the Interstate. This should be interesting....

[seekup41nancies]

The Maker will be played in FLA, w/Lanois :)

Does anybody living in the Orlando area need 2 WH tickets (facevalue) to the tampa show or would be interesting for trading Tampa tickets for WPB.

Nah it will be finished...they are basically done with the roof and outer structure of the place. And they just started adding seats. I'm sure the lawn will probably be installed soon.

[JimiThang1]

D & T need to make it to UCF...yea I said UCF. Anybody know about the tailgating situation at the Tampa location ?

I sent a letter to the campus activities board at UCF a year and a half ago when there were rumblings that D&T were going to tour again asking that they consider bringing them to the school. I never got a reply. I think they prefer spending their money on loser things like after hours entrance at Islands of Adventure.

Tailgating at tampa=no go. The venue reportedly has banned tailgating once it opens to the public.

[dustycobb]

I can't knock CAB to hard, they do a lot to get stuff for the students, but I don't think D & T would ever think of coming to UCF. I've tried a couple times to bring it up in meetings but it never seems to fly. The idea that college people listen to dMb surely doesn't apply to UCF, I wish it did though. At least then I wouldn't get the strange looks when I'm playing LWS or UTTAD or anything dMb related for the matter.

Oh I know they do alot of cool things. Its just UCF will never be on caliber with other college students listening interests because the school is a commuter school and brings in a diverse population. That said, I have several friends at UCF that do love DMB so go figure. Another reason why I don't think they could bring a show like D&T is because the last tour was going for places that averaged 8,000-10,000 seats. UCF's arena only sits 5,000 which is rather on the small size. The new 10,000 seat convocation center breaking ground this fall should hopefully bring some more sizeable acts to the school.

[412step]

UCF is definitely lacking DMB fans, I'll agree with you guys on that! I have a final the night of the concert and I'm probably screwed b/c I don't know any huge fans here in the Orlando area. So if you know anyone who needs tickets, mine are Section 305, Row V, upper pavillion.

[Jake]

there is certainly a dearth of DMB fans in Orlando. Weird, b/c one of the best shows I ever saw crowd-wise was right here in O-town in 2000. Maybe there is just a lack of college-age fans, but more older fans around the greater Central Florida area.

[412step]

That Orlando 2000 concert was awesome! That was my 1st show and it hooked me... unfortunately all of the people I knew that loved DMB moved away or are evil... imagine that! I wonder what the deal is with the lack of fans are here, it really didn't even surprise me that they skipped us last year.

from what I hear, they skip orlando for a few reasons, one being the venue isn't the best for concerts, and the staff is a pain. that's only what I hear, not a 'mortal lock' for the reasoning.

That's interesting. I think Orlando needs a brand new ampitheatre and they'd be here... I just wish I had been a big DMB fan back in the day when they played at the Edge for like $10

Yup that's why they don't come here. The TD Waterhouse Centre is a god awful facility. The acoustics suck, probably one of the worst indoor venues in the country.

Having just graduated from UCF I agree there are not that many Dave fans. I think if Dave and Tim would have came it would have been insane. With that new convocation center it does seem that the school will be able to bring in some larger acts.

Did anyone hear the news that Brittney Spears canceled her summer concert tour? Ok now don't jump on my back quite yet. She was scheduled to play the night before Dave at the Ford amp.

I doubt it that would make it 4 straight days of touring days and usually the most they do is 3 in a row then a day off. They will be coming from atlanta to Tampa and have wednesday off.

[bbrianblaze]

Alrighty well I haven't read this thread but I have a question for the FL peeps...

whadaya think the odds are that we'll get "The Maker" with Daniel Lanois and DMB?!



Or do you think Dave would come out during the opener?! I personally doubt that. Just wondering others' thoughts....

Alrighty well I haven't read this thread but I have a question for the FL peeps...

whadaya think the odds are that we'll get "The Maker" with Daniel Lanois and DMB?!

Somehow I don't see them playing the maker, or maybe that and another song with lanois guesting. it would be pretty cool to see dave come out for the opener too. either way, it should be fun.

I'd rather see Dave come out with Lanois to play on his opener, cause The Maker isnt exactly my favorite song, and honestly I'd rather keep it out of the band's setlist imo.

is there not a WPB SOUND ADVICE 07/31 thread?? Or are they just giving "Florida" a thread and not the individual venues in Florida??

[ethaxton]

gonna be hard.. might want to search around online.. bc WPB is a nice area...also what are you guys doing there for a week> that might make a difference in where you want to stay?

Just hanging around...we are stopping in orlando on the way down, and going to try to make it to the keys one day too. Other than, chill on the beach mostly.

[michael822]

It's fine. The view is nothing special, but the screens are good and the sound is just fine.

The cover band is surprisingly very good. Its a good fix till the main event! If anyone does get a chance to check them out I would recommend doing so. T

I've been to every DMB show in Florida since 2000 and it has rained on the day of the event every friggin' time. Does anyone remember that show in Sunrise a few year's ago where the power skipped out briefly? We all had to wade back to our cars that night. I'm crossing my fingers to break the streak this year. No rain for the Florida shows!

I don't believe it rained before the Tampa show in 2002. Although it was inside it was nice outside.

[bobbleheaddave]

I remember that show in Sunrise, at least it was indoors. The power went out right during the Ants encore and we walked in the dark with the emergency lights on right outside into a monsoon. Still I would rather be outside, but that lightening on the way to the car was pretty damn scary.

They're playing in St. Petersburg on July 2nd :) They're not the real thing, but I've seen these guys a couple times now, and they're really good. Plus, they're calling it quits after this summer, so I encourage everyone to check them out while they still can!

Gotta love the florida thunder storms. I'm reading a post about the power going out in Tampa a couple years ago, and guess what? The power goes out. Anyway, I've been planning on going to all the FL shows, and bought WH tix as well as put in request for Instant Ticketing, just in case I can get some better seats. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'm going to make it to the Tampa show, due to school issues.

Bottom Line: I've got extra tickets if anyone is in need. I'll be posting in the Tickets forum as well. $125.00 a pair. This is below what I was charged by the Warehouse, in case anyone thinks I'm selling them to make money. These are all seats (not lawn)

Tampa:
1st Pair: 101 M
2nd Pair: Will know seat location as soon as Warehouse assigns them

West Palm Night One: Will know seat location as soon as WH assigns them

West Palm Night Two: Will know seat location as soon as WH assigns them


I guess I should include contact info.

I'd like to get those Tampa seats. Can you e-mail me at Dustycobbb@cfl.rr.com so we can discuss setting that up, if it's still possible.
