What venues got shafted this summer?

[chicago62785]

What venues would you have liked to see dave play this year that was not posted on the tour dates?

[penn darvis]

Verizon Amphitheatre in Irvine
Shoreline

[Nikos]

Little Rock,AR. Dallas, TX

[twosteppn36]

spac



but this has been talked about all day

[mxz440fan]

lets see how fast this gets locked. my guess is after 5 more posts

[Ben F.]

let's cry about it.

no dates... complaining
dates announced... complaining.

damn. what does it take to please everyone?

What would we all do if we couldnt complain about something we love so much?

How about no denver show, or colorado for that matter. CO was dmb's 2nd home at one point. (yeah, i know, that was a long time ago...I'm still hanging on to that fact though)

[ugahairydawgs]

I'm kinda bummed they won't be playing in my backyard.....that would be cool..

Perhaps down by the pool...

[#36firedancer]

I'm not complaining at all - I'm psyched about the return of the 2 night stand @ Woodlands and our Selma show...

...but Dallas would've been nice :)

[HenriOU]

Oklahoma City

[twostep66]

some montreal/ottawa dates

[FunkyWinkerbean]

let's cry about it.

no dates... complaining
dates announced... complaining.

damn. what does it take to please everyone?people pointing out the bitching has gotten more predictable and more of a cliche than the complaining itself. If people are pissed that their favorite band is not playing at a venue that they usually do, let them come here to vent and discuss it.

[DJ Naga Pampa]

since there not playing at the locations now like dallas and others, could that mean that they'll be played in the winter tour

[gryspn41]

Little Rock,AR. Dallas, TX



I have to agree with you on Little Rock here.....of all the shows I have been to I would say that was the loudest and the best I've seen so far...

Roger

[Ben F.]

If people are pissed that their favorite band is not playing at a venue that they usually do, let them come here to vent and discuss it. it would appear to me that the administrators of this site do not share your opinion, nor do i.

[kgoedman]

Shoreline.

I really don't get it. The only thing I can think of is that there was a scheduling conflict at Shoreline.

I mean, what is the purpose of playing to Northern California shows (as in above the San Francisco Bay Area)?

[1adamsara0507]

Little Rock, AR. That was my first concert in my home state and I was SO glad they finally came to Arkansas. I looked at the tour dates today and it made me SO mad they weren't coming back. Hopefully they have a winter tour planned for arenas and maybe they'll hit Little Rock back up.....that'd be awesome!

[dythuger]

Im grateful chicago got a show but i never got the opportunity to see them in Soldier Field. I was hoping to this year but now i have to return to that shithole tweeter center.

[scoot_14]

I think the venue is too small for DMB, but I'd like to see them play at the FleetBoston Pavilion someday. That place is cool.

SPAC is by far the most notible. We'll see if they add any dates. They are usually much more canadian friendly as well.

If they come to Arkansas in the winter that would be the bomb. The only thing I can see why they didn't come back is because Altell didn't sell out. Not even close. I remember the upper bowl at the far end of the arena was empty. I'm with you and I do hope they come back sometime but I can't imagine when... :(

RogerYeah Alltel is a 18 thousand seat arena........and there was only what.....12? 13 thousand there? What seats did you have? I sure hope they dont skip us Arkansans just because we didnt sell out. That concert was amazing. Do you have the tape of it? I'm getting it here in the next week or so.

[chicago62785]

They only problem I have with the tour is that they are not at Soliders Field this year. Soliders Field is ten times better then tweeter center. I would have also liked to see Dave at Red Rocks. There you happy I relpied people

Yeah, I was on the floor in the 7th row.....It's the best show I've seen so far....man that Two Step was the bomb...Yeah, I've got a copy of it. I forgot how loud the crowd was until I listened to it!!!

[Dancing Ants]

I was in section 114 on the 14th row. The Ants opener really surprsied me and I think that was one of my favorite ones they played that nite. I loved that Two Step encore. Is there any way you could get me a copy of that show?

[RaynorC]

:thumbsup let's cry about it.

I was there too!!!! I was 12th row floor. What a sick show!! I didn't think the two step was too powerful but the Tripping Billies to close the set was bad ass. That was an excellent night. I agree that the crowd was good but they certainly didn't sell it out. I go to college in arkansas and I've been to a bunch of shows at Altel Arena and none have ever sold out. I saw Mayer there and they didn't even open up half of the upper level. It was a pretty good show though.

Sorry, my burner broke about 4 months ago so I'm stranded w/ all of these burned shows and no burner. You should be able to find it pretty easily though..

[AdamP]

MICHIGAN.
Palace/COMERiCA

we got the shaft. again.

[mihighdavehead]

I think the biggest shaft goes to Shorline. Even though I'm from CO, I thought the band loved playing Shoreline. I know I have seen them go off there, especially in 2000. Just to throw it out there, the festival is a week long stand at Red Rocks......i hope!!!

[KJ.]

MICHIGAN.
Palace/COMERiCA

we got the shaft. again.
I concur.

[onlyhuman]

For scoot just for your information DMB has played in FleetBoston Pav. in dec of 2001 was at the show and it rocked....I think it was called the FleetCenter back then

[onlyhuman]

and by the way the biggest shaft is the new york/New Jersey area...they have always played meadowlands and everyone who lives in this area knows there is no better tailgaiting except alpine than the meadowlands, all through HS which was 5 years ago we would hit Giants and Continental, its kinda sad the next generations dont get that.

[Holemandaddy]

let's cry about it.

no dates... complaining
dates announced... complaining.

damn. what does it take to please everyone?
it was real nice only having to drive down to okc (1.5 hours) for a show instead of KC which is 5-6

[onlyhuman]

from previous post it was DEC 2000 DMB played at that pavilion in boston

[BustedJeff]

SPAC...sniff

[frankm24]

1. Spac
2. Shoreline
3. Montreal

They have never played in Canada without going to Montreal and anyone who goes to all of the Canadian shows knows that Montreal is always the best one crowd wise

[Kyle#41_7985]

let's stop crying people, this year is gonna be awesome, don't worry. It'll be the best year since 1998. I'm calling it.

[DebbieS]

I'm upset about Denver. I usually travel and go to four or five shows each summer, but with them starting in July, and me being pregnant and due September 4, I can't travel at all. I was patiently waiting for the one show I could go to this year. I'm so unbelievably bummed right now, and damn these hormones for making me tear up.

[Holemandaddy]

let's stop crying people, this year is gonna be awesome, don't worry. It'll be the best year since 1998. I'm calling it.
which is even more of an excuse to cry because they are not coming anywhere near me (yet)

[BustedJeff]

let's stop crying people, this year is gonna be awesome, don't worry. It'll be the best year since 1998. I'm calling it.

What are you going by? Intuition? (I'm not being an ass...just curious).

[Kyle#41_7985]

What are you going by? Intuition? (I'm not being an ass...just curious).


New album (very well should be best album since BTCS)
Gorge DVD
Kick Ass Summer Tour
possible Festival (hopefully in Charlottesville)
Possible winter tour


and most importantly: I can just feel it in my balls that this year is gonna be good.

[BustedJeff]

I can feel it in your balls too.

I try not to be negative about things, but it seems every time I get my hopes up, life punches me in the stomach and takes my wallet.

[firedancinnancy]

and by the way the biggest shaft is the new york/New Jersey area...they have always played meadowlands and everyone who lives in this area knows there is no better tailgaiting except alpine than the meadowlands, all through HS which was 5 years ago we would hit Giants and Continental, its kinda sad the next generations dont get that.
definitely with you on that

[Holemandaddy]

yeah, im not going to get excided about this tour just yet. mainly cause i dont have a reason to, but i won't go into that. i feel it should be a "strong" year. there is probably going to be a lot of new matieral ala 2002 (granted it wasnt new, but it was still new album material)

[Kyle#41_7985]

I don't see anything wrong with being excited. I've only been a DMB fan for a little under 2 years now, so I haven't turned bitter yet over past events. You guys should be happy. We're being so spoiled this year and we just had a great Dave and Friends tour. I'd just sit back and take it all in with a smile if I were yall.

[il bacio dolce]

Well, gee yall. Look at the list and that should tell you which venues got shafted this summer, because they wouldn't be on there. Nice discussion topic.

[Holemandaddy]

im sure your excited. that is excellent. really. but a fan that lives in oklahoma has loved dmb from the begining or went to the show last year as their first dmb experince has got to be dissapointed (right now)

[Kyle#41_7985]

I do feel for ya. Go road trippin to Texas!! That's what I'd do.

[Holemandaddy]

meh, its real close to when school start so ill see. that might be what i end up doing though

[brockboi]

:thumbsup SPAC is by far the most notible. We'll see if they add any dates. They are usually much more canadian friendly as well.
no love up here in Canada!!! Toronto is the best venue IMO, but Montreal and Ottawa (two years ago) have had some great shows.

i've never been to SPAC and this year i was going to make the roadie, guess i won't be making it. at least with having only Toronto and Darien shows to attend i'll be able to save a bit of money!

[0stone0]

Soldier Field...especially since it was redone last year. DMB would have put that design to the test!


Anyway, Apine Valley is pretty sweet.

[mxz440fan]

even though i'm not from canada, i was hoping for an ottawa show to see a show with somebody

[wagx3]

msg, giants, and continental :(

[doug_gill]

For scoot just for your information DMB has played in FleetBoston Pav. in dec of 2001 was at the show and it rocked....I think it was called the FleetCenter back then

That's the FleetCenter you're talking about. Harborlights (aka Fleet Pavilion) is a smaller venue in a tent on the water.

[mxz440fan]

msg, giants, and continental :(msg is a winter venue, giants stadium...don't expect it again...or anytime soon, and continental is a shame

[mojo1210]

denver got hosed

[kingeric71]

im really upset about spac....i really enjoyed that show. i found it to be one of the better venues. that was the first of many dave shows i attended and i think thats why i enjoy it sooo much

[danbrave]

MONTREAL, the coolest place on the planet!!!!

[Holemandaddy]

too bad its in canada

[fxblitz]

Denver got hosed

James

[Holemandaddy]

*fingers crossed for more west dates*

[penn darvis]

let's cry about it.

no dates... complaining

damn. what does it take to please everyone?
Its easy for you to say. Why don't you say that to fans outside the US who will never get a chance to see the band. I can understand that people shouldn't bitch if they can only go to 4 shows instead of 6, etc. But when there is no possibility of getting close to a show, that is dissappointing. People can be dissappointed about a tour. There is nothing wrong with that. It has nothing to do with the band. It is more overall dissappointment with not being able to see a great band. This doesn't apply to me, but for many it does.

[pkpro1]

new york.

[dmbkristin]

For people complaining about a lack of shows in the NYC area, here's something to consider. Most if not all of the venues on this tour are outdoor venues. Knowing realistically that DMB is not going to play at Giants Stadium or Jones Beach any time soon, where is there an outdoor venue in the NYC area?

[cowboyroie]

It would be pretty sweet to see them travel a bit further south and visit the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL. Phish played some badass shows there for the New Years run.

[carkiwi]

*fingers crossed for more west dates*
Definitley..
people in the East are so lucky....so many of the shows over there are so close together that you can easily drive between them. With Vancouver not on the tour I'll have to make it to the Gorge along with however many other people are dying to go there..I'm really hoping for those tickets.

[Holemandaddy]

good luck with that. as much as i wanna go to the gorge, its kinda far for me right now

[brockboi]

too bad its in canada
yeah too bad it's Canada :confused: :confused: :confused: ...best country on earth

[ShamrockinGirl]

There is still hope for SPAC...SPAC hasn't announced their concert schedule yet and there is a gap in DMB's schedule from 30 June - 6 July. Despair not! (yet!)

[mxz440fan]

yeah too bad it's Canada :confused: :confused: :confused: ...best country on earthcanada's a real country? :confused:

:lol:

[pr0ud3stm0nk3y]

minneapolis!

[Mickey Carson]

For everyone complaining about Shoreline...

Yes it's an amazing venue so in that respect it sucks that it has no dates scheduled yet...but to complain that California in general got hosed? Come on. At the end of this summer tour California will have seen 13 Dave shows in the previous 13 months. 13 shows in 13 months! Some states/countries could only be so lucky.

[frankm24]

:thumbsup
1/2 hour drive to montreal or 7 hour drive to toronto. Toronto being the only canadian show it will sell out very quickly which means we would be way back in the lawn area whereas we would be able to get half decent floor seats in Montreal. Not to mention the Montreal show is always more energetic crowd wise and just a better party town overall. Toronto is crap compared to Montreal. I know because I've lived in both cities

[drty snchz]

SPAC :BANG :ugh:

they better hit up the pepsi when the winter tour rolls around or may be done untl the next time they come to town ;)

[The J2H]

Detroit Rock City!

[Haiku Jimi]

Anything remotely close to NYC...

I mean its a bit of a big city.

p.s. People, quit bitching about other people's bitching. No one's saying they're ungrateful for what the band does, yadda yadda. They're just annoyed that DMB won't be near them this time around, that's all. Yeah I know people in other countries never get to see them. And again, its not that we're completely dissatisfied. Just expressing that you're slightly ticked about having to drive a few hours to see DMB doen't deserve a speech on how Argentinians never get to see them.

:twak

Great stat. Now lets compare it to:
http://www.antsmarching.org/tour/ShowList.php?offset=0&dateyear=2003&datemonth=%25&dateday=%25&startdate=1989-1-1&enddate=2004-02-20&venue=NY&artistID=&setlist=&guests=&soundcheck=&notes=&search=Search

[AU1880]

Dallas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Haiku Jimi]

Great stat. Now lets compare it to:

15 shows in 9 months? 14 rather...9/23 was a soundcheck. And several of those were interviews/show performances.

Seems pretty equal to Cali.

[DMBFan920]

Im grateful chicago got a show but i never got the opportunity to see them in Soldier Field. I was hoping to this year but now i have to return to that shithole tweeter center.
yeah, I have not probs. with Tweeter, but I too wish they would go back to Soldier. It's kinda obivous why they didn't, but it would have been nice. I really enjoyed 7/7/01 (of course it was my first show, but still)

[Mickey Carson]

Great stat. Now lets compare it to:
http://www.antsmarching.org/tour/ShowList.php?offset=0&dateyear=2003&datemonth=%25&dateday=%25&startdate=1989-1-1&enddate=2004-02-20&venue=NY&artistID=&setlist=&guests=&soundcheck=&notes=&search=Search

Only 8 of those 15 performances are full band concerts...I didn't count all the various performances by Dave in my Cali stat...like the Grammys, Tonight Show, Tribute to Sting, etc.

[mojo1210]

i think comparing new york shows to california shows is like comparing apples and oranges

its nearly 400 miles from la to sf(lets say the two areas that would host shows)....if the people out east are going to say california has more shows etc....i think they need to look at how close everything out east is and add to that total everything in penn, ny and ma.

im sorry but im sick of the east coast and the winning that comes out of it

I agree with most of what you're saying David...I'm just saying it's bullshit for California residents to whine about the DMB tour dates when Dave will have played there 13 times in a 13-month period (by the end of this tour). Especially in light of the many states that never see shows at all and our friends up in Canada that only get one stop this tour. I don't think Cali DMB fans have it better off than NY or East Coast fans at all...but they do have it better off than a lot of other fans across the U.S./Canada...so they shouldn't complain :)

[Number27]

Camdodia got the shaft.

[Duckyguy]

After reading the RS article with Dave, I thought they would hit White River Amphitheatre for sure...since he said they were going to do the new amphitheatre in Seattle along with The Gorge.

Oh well, atleast we still have The Gorge.

[czyk22]

They only problem I have with the tour is that they are not at Soliders Field this year. Soliders Field is ten times better then tweeter center. I would have also liked to see Dave at Red Rocks. There you happy I relpied people


It is Soldier Field.. :BANG ...Soldier. I am sorry, it is a pet peeve. Even Mayor Daley gets it wrong...

Not to mention the Montreal show is always more energetic crowd wise and just a better party town overall. Toronto is crap compared to Montreal. I know because I've lived in both cities

me too.

not to mention. most montrealers usually do the montreal/spac shows. i have too much pride to go to a show in toronto (saw 04.19.02; shitty crowd). its a good thing ill be in tibet/nepal during the summer tour.

cheers.

I'm not a fan of Toronto as a city either and Montreal is just amazing, but the venue in Toronto is amazing.
As for Ottawa, I wish DMB would play an outdoor concert at LeBretton (sp?) Flats. I think that would be pretty sweet.

you got to get a thai text msg handphone. we had them over there a few years ago, they let you communicate anywhere. my buddies are in tibet now parasailing, that's how we communicate when internet is not available and even when the sat phones crump out.

BOO YAH! By the way, my friend and I both e-mailed the band complaining that they're not coming to Montreal, and we both got the exact same bullshit reply, word for word:


While the band would love to play everywhere it is just not possible for
them to do so. As far as we know, the dates posted are the only tourdates.
If more dates get added we will email all Warehouse members. We hope to see
you at a show this summer.

Cheers!

The Warehouse Crew

We should get as many ppl as we can to e-mail them about Montreal and see how long it takes before they get off their asses and write a real response.
