Official Molson Amphitheatre 2004 Thread - T.O.

[scotty12]

Whos going? Are you staying in a hotel?


What shows are other canadians goign to south of the border? Im looking into Hartford and Camden. Darein lake is 100% for sure.

[twosteppn36]

ill be at toronto....hopefully its as fun as it was last year

[kasquith]

Molson Amphitheatre is a guranteed for me. I mean, I can see it from where I work. :) I'll probably work until 5 that day and then just walk across the CNE grounds to it. But it can be party time after because Canada Day is the next day!

As for what other shows... I'm having a huge debate. Here are my options:

option #1: hit 3 or 4 more shows in June/July around here. I'm thinking Star Lake both nights (was fun in '03), Hershey (I actually quite enjoyed the '02 show there), and Darien (never a favourite, but hey, it's close). Meadows is a possibility too.

option #2: save my money and make a trip to the Gorge. Right now, this is what I'm thinking... Toronto show and then nothing else until the Gorge (not even Darien). I'm graduating university this spring so it'll be the first Labour Day weekend EVER that I do not have to go back to school... good time to treat myself :)

I keep going back and forth on this. Decisions... decisions...

[DMB-CRAZY]

I'm for sure there...its only a 4 hour drive, I dont know where we are staying yet, maybe I'll go cheap and stay at this hostile that I've stayed at before for like $30/night. I'll end up spending all my money on the Darien Center show.

[Franchize41]

I plan to go to T.O. this year, only a 50 minute drive. Would've gone to Montreal but since that's not an option Im likely only going to Toronto.

[DMB-CRAZY]

Yeah, I would have went to all three (if they did that) Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto...but I'm happy with TO

[Beeshie]

Ill be there for sure!!!!!!!! Im even more pumped that the next day we will have off because of Canada Day, that just means more pre and post concert partying!!!! Heather- you can stay at my house if you want, but Im not 100% sure if Ill be going home, depending if I decide to stay in TO or not.. Ill let ya know.... still no CD's haha damn post office

[scotty12]

I'm hitting TO and Darien for sure..

Apart from those shows I am thinking of Hartford or Camden (if I make a 6 + hour drive I would rather a two nighter)...
If those venues have a reputation like Darien I might think of Burgettstown, PA or Mansfield, MA instead (burgestown would be better - its on a weekend)...BUT I would rather not do all of that driving in a short time span, the nice thing about TO, Darien, and Hartford or Camden is that there is a space between all the shows...June 30, July 30, and July 16/17 or July 20/21...gives me some downtime before getting pumped for the next show!!

I cannot afford ALL of those shows, but I want to hit at least four..
We have friends in WI, so if my dad wants to go visit his friend than Aug 7,8 (conveinently a weekend) might be a lucky day for me!

I also have a friend in Tenessee that I met at the Sept 19 show last year that i've kept in touch with, and we've talked about meeting up at a show thats halfway between us.

Yesterday I hit up mapquest and got directions to every show that is a possibility, I'm excited for this tour!

Of the choices between Hartford and Camden, where would you decide?

[mythmunky]

I'd go to Toronto and Gorge, if I could afford it, but I just can't. I'll be at the Amphitheatre, for sure though! Can't wait either!

[DMB-CRAZY]

I am so excited, and its like 3 months away!! Thanks for the offer Michelle, I may stay in TO to party as well!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! Are you going to Darien Lake??

[brockboi]

I'll be in TO again. the show last year was the best i've ever seen and prob. the best i ever will see. the set and venue just did it for me. i'll be in darien as well.

about the gorge, there have been rumours about road trips...possibly with buses...

[twosteppn36]

everyone should go to atlantis for the after party too :)

[gregory311]

I'm hoping to catch them in TO this year as I've never been to the Molson Amph.

DMB should play at that little theatre-type joint in Kitchener. I forgot the name of that place.

J.

[brockboi]

everyone should go to atlantis for the after party too :)
we should meet up somewhere before the show as well. i know last year my friends and myself parked at the venue, walked downtown for some drinks, then walked back. it's a bit of a hike, but if a bunch of ants went somewhere to meet up it'd be cool.

as for after, Atlantis sounds good to me. last year they had the official unofficial party!

yeah...and id imagine they'd have a party there again afterwards...its convenient because its right next door to the venue too, so leave the concert, walk over and party all night

[DMB-CRAZY]

After the 9.03 show, we had the shittiest time trying to get back to our hotel, the GO Train wasnt running anymore to Union Station, so we tried to hail a cab for, literally, an hour and a half!! It blew! Maybe this year, we'll actually go and party somewhere afterwards.

[dmbjc]

i'll be at the TO show - again...been at every TO show since 94...does anyone know if the warehouse is only doing the lawn seats or are they doing the covered seats too? the lawns at the amphitheatre aren't the greatest...

see y'all there...before, during and after hopefully!

jay (in T.O.)

[DMB-CRAZY]

Is it better for me to get WH tickets or TM tickets? I dont want to end up on the lawn...Do they sell covered seats for WH members or just lawn?

[Fishdisease]

I got awesome seats through the WH last year...up front in the 100's. I dont know about TM tho...Its really picking between the lesser of two evils.

FD

[DMB-CRAZY]

OK, that helps. I got tickets through TM for the 9.03 show, and I got the 400s (they were okay, but really far on the side). I'll try my luck with the WH then.

[The Sean]

i was thinking about taking the Ferry to T.O. but idk if that'll work for me.
on the other hand, if they announce SPAC dates im goin there instead of Darien

[twosteppn36]

if they announce SPAC dates im goin there instead of Darien






:thumbsup


on the other hand...you should definitely try to make it to toronto...its a blast

[scotty12]

I got 400s on TM and traded with a scalper + $50 bucks to get into the 200s....It was a good show

[twosteppn36]

i have front 200s last year through warehouse....which ends up being pretty close because it didnt seem like the 100's were very deep

[Onemoredrink]

I'll be at the Molson Amp again this year..last year's concert was definately the best i've ever seen. Scored 200s through the warehouse... See you all there!!

[Beeshie]

I am so excited, and its like 3 months away!! Thanks for the offer Michelle, I may stay in TO to party as well!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! Are you going to Darien Lake??

Im not sure if Im going to Darien Lake or not, Im really trying to save for Australia but I might be going if my friend from (the one from Sudbury that I went to NYC with) goes... Im too easily pursuaded hahaha We should all definetly meet up before the concert, at least to just have a beer to meet!!!! Its times like this that I wish I had joined WH because Im scared that its going to sell out so quickly Ill be left with shitty lawn tickets... I guess thats where Ill have to go on ebay like i did last year and still ended up with 400's, but hey Jay, it wasnt so bad eh, I wouldnt have met you if I wernt in that section hahaha

[DMB-CRAZY]

We should definently meet up for sure...have a a beer or two. I got tix through TM last year, and I was in the 400s, maybe you'll get lucky.

[brockboi]

last year i got 200s throught TM, doubt i will this year tho since TO is the only Canadian show.

Fishdisease: you are correct, 9.03.03 was by far the best!

Scotty12: where is the 200s were you and did you go to Montreal as well?

[scotty12]

201..on the right hand corner.....slowly migrated to the center as the show went on.
No montreal, did go to the Antioch, TN show tho :)

Looking forward to a lot more shows this year, TO was my first and I cant get enough now :) Hopefully double digits soon haha

Sidenote: I regret not buying a poster at the show lastyear: anyone have one for sale? Spread the word!

[brockboi]

i was just wondering about where you sat in the toronto show b/c we had two guys beside us that upgraded from 400s to 200s right before the show. but the weird thing was that we sat right beside the guys the night before in montreal!!! so they sat beside us in montreal, we saw them during the day in toronto and asked where they were sitting and they said 400s, then they upgraded and ended up beside us again. it was pretty weird.

where in ontario are you?

[dmbjc]

...but hey Jay, it wasnt so bad eh, I wouldnt have met you if I wernt in that section hahaha

absolutely! we'll have to do it up right this year! woo hoo! (and yes, i will email you soon...really! no, the kiddies haven't eaten me alive yet...they're being subjected to DMB on the stereo in the classroom while i do their report cards! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...


:twak


jay.

[brockboi]

no, the kiddies haven't eaten me alive yet...they're being subjected to DMB on the stereo in the classroom while i do their report cards!
:thumbsup
i do the same thing all the time at the school i work at!

[Beeshie]

:thumbsup
i do the same thing all the time at the school i work at!

Im not a teacher but I have started doing the same thing at my work too.... I just got speakers on my PC at work and Ive been playing nothing but DMB since.... my co-workers are not too impressed as they are all older ladies who like 50's and 60's music hahaha Ill somehow convert them.

[scotty12]

Im from (very close to) Kingston Ontario..
how about you/everyone else?

[Fishdisease]

Peterborough...about an hour and 20 min away from the ampitheatre.

So I have a question: where else is it feasible to go to this year? I can't take any time off of work for a concert (I've used up my flex time for other things) and I'm new to this area of Canada....any ideas?

FD

[dmbjc]

i'm downtown toronto...lived in london and kingston though...now, in the heart of despair...ha ha ha...just kidding...

[The J2H]

right now, it looks like i'll be making another pilgrimmage up to Toronto to see the band

[DMB-CRAZY]

I'm in Sudbury...good 'ol Northern Ontario! Only a 4-5 hour drive to TO so thats not that bad.

[brockboi]

So I have a question: where else is it feasible to go to this year? I can't take any time off of work for a concert (I've used up my flex time for other things) and I'm new to this area of Canada....any ideas?FD
darien lake is only about 2 hours from toronto.

where is close to kingston...my hometown is Brockville! i live in St. Catharines now tho.

[brockboi]

I'm in Sudbury ;)
i feel sorry for you...

[Beeshie]

i feel sorry for you...

Dont knock it till you try it, I went to college there and absoutely loved it, its a great town!!!!

Im from Guelph, so only an hour drive or so.....

[DMB-CRAZY]

i feel sorry for you...

meh, I've come to realize that Sudbury is a hole!:lol Actually I have know this for a while! I cant wait to go to graduate school (hopefully carleton *crosses fingers*) and get out of Sudbury. Although, I think I may miss it a bit.

[brockboi]

i've tried it, and i'm glad i'm not there anymore! the town can be a ton of fun, but absolutely everything fun there involves heavy drinking...not that there is anything wrong with that, but it's cold!

ottawa is a fun city. love going out in ottawa.

[Beeshie]

Ill give you that, Sudbury is damn cold, even though they say "its a dry cold" -40 wet cold whatever it is, IS DAMN COLD!!!!!! Good times in that city though, I miss it!

So what are some good places to go to before the concert that are near the Ampitheatre, whenever I go there, I just go to the concert and jet, but seeing as though we have to celebrate DMB coming to town, PLUS CANADA DAY, I wanna find a wicked place to party!!!

[peaner]

I'm from New-Brunswick, I'll prolly fly down , my dad works in Africa and travels back and forth 3-4 times a year so we have a shitload of airmiles

[brockboi]

for this show i'm going to be trying TM to get my tickets, but if anyone is getting extras (TM and WH) i'd be interested in getting your extras. i have quite a few friends that wanna go to this show and getting the extras from someone would be great.

[scotty12]

Im getting TM and WH as well...four of my friends are all gunning for pairs so we should hopefully have more than we need.

We should all bring beachballs to the show...like 50 of them

[DMB-CRAZY]

I think I'm just going to go WH..or is that a bad idea? I'm afraid to get shitty seats through WH, if I go both, I'm also afraid that I wont be able to get rid of my tickets...any opinions?

[brockboi]

you should be able to get rid of your tickets if you have extra's.

and please no beachballs! there is a thread about beachballs from a while back!

[scotty12]

I think it would be a breeze to get rid of your tickets

[DMB-CRAZY]

Cool, thanx! I may just do that then, get both WH and TM!

[brockboi]

if you get tickets through both TM and WH i'd be interested in the extras. possibly for Darien if you get them for their as well.

[DMB-CRAZY]

cool, thanks! I will for sure get both tickets then!

[Onemoredrink]

You should be able to get rid of your tickets...i did last year..although i took a lot of heat from the scalpers..they hated me that day..since I was selling my tix for face value...one actually asked how I would feel if he came to my place of work and tried taking money away from me...so try steering clear of them. They really suck!

[scotty12]

I traded 401 for 201 to the scalpers...a few people walked by and said "dont do it" and the scalpers were swearing bigtime at them

[kasquith]

Ooooooooooh... exciting.

Well, we all know the jazz festival is around the end of June. But guess who is playing in town on June 30th? FLECKTONES! Oh, I like the looks of this!

wait wait wait... Bela Fleck & The Flecktones aren't playing with DMB tho are they? it's the same night isn't it? why wouldn't they open or maybe they are before the go to their "downtown jazz" thing? i can only wish

[cfrancis]

Possibility of a guesting by the tones or Bela solo

[DMB-CRAZY]

That would kick ass! At the 4.20.02 show, they joined DMB on stage for the 32 minute #41...it was the greatest thing! It would be so amazing if they toured with DMB again.

[cfrancis]

I was there as well!

[greyavenue]

anybody else think its about time toronto got a 2nd night

[kasquith]

Toronto could easily sell out two nights... easily. Unfortunately, considering the (relatively) small size of the Amphitheatre, and the CDN-USD exchange rate, two nights sold out in Toronto is nothing compared to one night in some major US markets. That's the only reason I can't see it happening.

[nicknack]

am going and am going to take a boat across lake ontario to get there , leaving out of rochester, n.y. see you all there.

[brockboi]

man i hope they are there again like in 02. that #41 was sweet, but it wasn't quite 32 mins!!! god i hope they're opening or at least make an appearance.

[Beeshie]

Ill be happy if they put another Canadian venue in the mix let alone a 2nd night in Toronto, that way we will have a chance to have half decent seats, with TO being the only Canadian venue, its going to sell out so quickly, I just hope I dont get stuck on the lawn, the sound quality isnt that great there.

it was great for me in 2003. i had back of the pavillion. one of the nicest amps ive been too. great view of lake ontario and downtown toronto. the fireworks were also cool last year.

[DMB-CRAZY]

man i hope they are there again like in 02. that #41 was sweet, but it wasn't quite 32 mins!!! god i hope they're opening or at least make an appearance.

I have the RoadCrews note on that night, said it was about 32 minutes, as well as the taped copy I have. Maybe I am mistaken...

[crushnancy]

I am jumping in late here....but I am going to the Toronto show too. I have put in for 2 tickets through WH but will order from TM also and sell the worst of the 2. I went to the show last year with my sister....who has been a fan longer than me but lives in Calgary so has never been to a show. She was blown away! It was fun to watch a first timer! We sat outside the venue for a few hours, listened to 2 guys play their guitars and sing DMB....they were pretty good too. We had binoculars so we were able to see across the water into where the band was hanging out....I felt like a stalker though! It was definatly the best show I have seen so far and am hoping that this year will be even better!

BTW, I live 45 minutes north of Toronto and two days after the show (july 2), will be my husband's and my closing date for our first house....going to be an exicting week!

I have put in for Darien tickets too...only because it is close. I have been the last 2 years and not liked it that much...because of the atmosphere but aw, well, you gotta suck it up if you wanna see Dave!

[scotty12]

Where were they hanging out before?

Congrats on the house!

[Beeshie]

it was great for me in 2003. i had back of the pavillion. one of the nicest amps ive been too. great view of lake ontario and downtown toronto. the fireworks were also cool last year.

Really? Im not a huge fan of the lawn seats... when I saw Bowie there, the sound seemed a bit "tinny" or muffled, maybe it was just him though.... I think Id just rather be under covered seating just in case it rains or something... but I will take anything I can get, I have to be at this concert!!!!

The fireworks were really cool, the funny thing is, on the stage at the time or shortly after the fireworks, on the big screen they had fireworks during (dont remember whta song) and I thought that it was fireworks again, ya maybe had too many beers that night haha Such a good show though, I hope they put on just a good of show.... its too bad that Ben Harper wont be opening for them like he is in L.A. Id pretty much pay ANYTHING to have him open for DMB, he's the shit!!!!!!

[twosteppn36]

its too bad that Ben Harper wont be opening for them like he is in L.A. Id pretty much pay ANYTHING to have him open for DMB, he's the shit!!!!!!




maybe we'll get bela fleck guesting instead :thumbsup

[DMB-CRAZY]

Where is everyone staying? Are there any cheap hotels close by (by cheap I mean good ones, not gross ones!) I stayed at the Bond Place right downtown in Sept., it was okay...

[twosteppn36]

last year we stayed in the sheraton about 3 miles from the venue...it was like $100 a night i think

[DMB-CRAZY]

Thats not too bad, thanks..I'll look into that!

[firedancn_nanci]

TO forsure! It'll be my 1st concert there and DMB I am so stoaked! Then off to the 3 dayer at the Gorge, this place kicks ass! Any Wh's order tickets for Molson before? How were they? Also any prarie kids planning on Driving to the Gorge?

[brockboi]

Where were they hanging out before?
if you're asking where was DMB hanging out before the show last year it was across from the parking lot in the back part of the theatre. i have a pic of carter in the background, but you can't really see him. it was with my old shitty digital camera. if anyone wants to see where it was i can post it.

[brockboi]

sorry, it was leroi by the way, we were walking by the theatre last year and i looked over to the back of it and i saw that leroi was out on the stoop thing, he was chillin there eating dinner. so i asked a friend i was with "is that leroi?" b/c i'm pretty blind! it was, and he waved to us after a bit.

[crushnancy]

Where were they hanging out before?

Congrats on the house!

They were hanging out at the back of the amphlitheather which backs onto the marina and then the parking lot....you are able to see into where I assume are dressing rooms etc....it was like a patio where they were.

Thanks for the congrats! We are really exicted!

Are you going to the show?

[crushnancy]

We did see boyd too - he was riding in a golf cart thing....he came flying through the parking lot and the guys playing their guitars started playing True Reflections and you could hear him laughing.

I believe all the guys were hanging out the back of the theater at one point or another though the day....we saw them all

Karen

[brockboi]

sorry dude, you're completely right. that was the ottawa show right? they did play that 32 min #41 there. I thought you were talking about the Toronto show where they played a 19 min LIOG. my mistake.

and by the way, i hate it on here (not your fault DMB-CRAZY, i got confused and everyone on here does it) how people have 03.03.04 as the date rather then just say, the Toronto show in 2004. i know if there is more then one it's a little different, but i don't understand why if there is only one show everyone on here writes the long date instead of the venue. just my two cents!

[DMB-CRAZY]

No worries..understable about the confusion. I think some people (like myself) write the date (ie. 04.20.02) because if you have been to many many shows, its easier, and takes up less space...but I think its personal preference!

[scotty12]

Last year I stayed at the travellodge in ajax (I think it was ajax., or might have been whitby, no idea now)...It was directly across the road from a GO TRAIN station and only EIGHTY (yes 80) bucks after tax for one night!! Train ticket (day pas) was $13, and that got me to union station, a short walk from the amphitheatre (a few blocks)...I would do it again, but this year I think i'm flying to the show in a private plane!!!!! (very excited for that!!)

For $20 bucks more per night the sheraton may be a better bet (unless they charge for parking)...the travellodge parking was free....I was happy with that hotel.

[scotty12]

Have temp charges showed up on anyones credit card yet for this series/show?
They havent for mine and I'm worried...I'm hoping its just a canadian thing

[Fishdisease]

I've got temp charges on my account. But I wouldnt worry about it, this is the first time in 3 years that I've seen temp charges on my account. Normally I'd also say not to worry anyway because the Canadian shows never sell out (there's always instant tickets) but this year may be different as its the only Canadian show. The take home message here is that temp charges dont mean a thing and if you dont see them that means nothing.

Dave

[crushnancy]

I don't have temp charges....and I am not to worried.

[Onemoredrink]

I rec'd an official charge on my credit card today..2 for Molson Amp..2 for Darien Lake..anyone else in Canada get any charges?

c.

[scotty12]

I didnt and on one hand I'm nervous - maybe I am declined for all of my requests (Darien, TO, Camden, Hartford)..
I think this is good news though because now I only want to go to TO, Darien, and the FESTIVAL

[AudreyM]

I rec'd an official charge on my credit card today..2 for Molson Amp..2 for Darien Lake..anyone else in Canada get any charges?

c.

Yup. Reserved for T.O. and Darien Lake! :bounce

$353.98 Cdn total.

A. | Now for all 3 Gorge to come through!

[DMB-CRAZY]

I cant check whether they went through or not...damn it! I am so anxious, wondering if I got TO and Darien! When does WH usually give confirmation?

[Onemoredrink]

I cant check whether they went through or not...damn it! I am so anxious, wondering if I got TO and Darien! When does WH usually give confirmation?

The warehouse will confirm by March 24..my TO and Darien total was $353.98 Canadian. Why can't you check your cc??

c.

[kasquith]

I've got a formal charge for Toronto reserved.

I'm going to skip Darien this year. Well, at least for now. As the date draws closer, if my work isn't busy and I have money to spare, maybe I'll pick up some instants or last-minute TM releases. Right now, I'm concentrating on my Gorge trip.

Speaking of, my hold for the Gorge still indicates reserved for all 3 nights, but that seems too good to be true.

[DMB-CRAZY]

The warehouse will confirm by March 24..my TO and Darien total was $353.98 Canadian. Why can't you check your cc??

c.

My Mastercard doesnt have internet banking, and I dont get a statement till next month, unless there is a way to check it over the phone? I'm not sure..the 24th cant come soon enough.

[AudreyM]

Speaking of, my hold for the Gorge still indicates reserved for all 3 nights, but that seems too good to be true.

Me too. However, I expected to get declined for Darien because I asked for reserved only but got it. Hmmm. Maybe that's too good to be true also....

A| Really hopes they're not messing with us.

[scotty12]

Ok I am becoming increasingly confident that I am not going to get WH tickets for series 2.

How are all you ontarians getting to the gorge? (I envy you all).

Have any of you received your WH membership packages?

[crushnancy]

Yup. Reserved for T.O. and Darien Lake! :bounce

$353.98 Cdn total.

A. | Now for all 3 Gorge to come through!


I got mine too and the exact same charge....does this mean that at least we have reserved seats? Please say yes!!!!

Next year, my goal before I get pregnant, will be to travel across the country for 2 weeks and go to all 3 Gorge shows too! Hopefully there will be Gorge shows next year.....or else my plan is SCREWED!

[kasquith]

Me too. However, I expected to get declined for Darien because I asked for reserved only but got it. Hmmm. Maybe that's too good to be true also....

A| Really hopes they're not messing with us.
Whoops -- I just checked again. Now it looks like I'm getting 2/3 Gorge (but reserved for both). I still won't complain. At least that's only 1 show I need to hit TM for. Considering all 3 Gorge shows have the same public onsale time, I'd hate to be trying for more than one.

Sorry for all the Gorge talk in a Toronto thread :) Toronto kicks ass too!!

[AudreyM]

[QUOTE=kasquith]Whoops -- I just checked again. Now it looks like I'm getting 2/3 Gorge (but reserved for both). QUOTE]


I just checked too. Same thing. 2/3 Gorge shows. I can't believe this. It's got to be impossible. I'm only 3rd year. Reserved for 2 GORGE shows. Craziness. They're messing with us.....

My Mastercard doesnt have internet banking, and I dont get a statement till next month, unless there is a way to check it over the phone? I'm not sure..the 24th cant come soon enough.

Call Mastercard and ask if there are any temp charges on your account..they won't be able to tell you who charged your account..but if there is a temp charge for a large amount (and you haven't made any other large purchases)..you can assume its the warehouse..or by this time..just ask if there are any charges from the warehouse...it seems like they have billed for TO. See you all in Toronto!

I rec'd my warehouse package from 2003 about 3 weeks ago.

[DMB-CRAZY]

I received my WH package about 2 weeks ago...I was doubting that I was even getting one, I was so excited to see it in my mailbox!

[DMB-CRAZY]

I called Mastercard, I have charges of $353.98 on my account..now I feel better, although I dont know if that means anything significant, but one can hope!

[firedancn_nanci]

I am soooooooo stoaked to come to To to see Dmb, I saw them for the 1st time last summer at the Gorge and am definately going back there. About hittiing up Tm for tickets, just a head up that there are like 1000's of scalpers at the Gorge I got Row 22 last year for the 2nd night off a scalper and payed the same price as TM.... Something to think about. Also I think it is stellar that the Fest. is probably going to be in NY cause that means that seeing as I am down there for the TO show I am gonna head to NY for the Fest. Which works out great for me, that'll mean 6 shows this summer comming from a prarie gal that would NEVER get to See Dave and the boys out here, I can't wait! See ya there!

Same with me.

[dobyblue]

Last year i had 8th row from stage WH Montreal
13th row from stage Toronto.
Let's seriously hook up for beers before the show.
I recommend the Devil's Advocate at 655 Bay
Maybe an hour or two before the show head to the treehouse in the Amphitheatre grounds. If you're looking at the water from the carpark the treehouse is on the far left. It's aptly named so you can't miss it.
I got declined on my WH tix - short by approx $30. Fuck!!!!
have to be on the ball next Saturday now that TM.ca has that rotten "type the word you see to continue" like TM.com
Canada Day party?

Did you get your 13th row in TO from the warehouse..or from Ticketmaster..i scored some sweet 100s from Ticketmaster last year..

[yin_yang]

2 reserved for Toronto, and I'm first year. I'm a very happy man! :D :D

[Beeshie]

Im not a WH member, but Ill be there at TM lining up, and getting a friedn hopefully to get ticekts on the internet... Heather, is there usually a lot of people lined up at the Ticketmaster in SUdbury, cause Im going with my friend from Suds, and he said he is getting tickets, but Im worried that it will be busy there, do you think it would be better for me to get them here in Guelph?? We need to get 6 tickets.

[brockboi]

as long as you're first in line you'll be aight. see for most shows thought TM (not just DMB) all tickets go on sale on saturday at 10am. if you're first in line you should be aight. if you're second or third, you still should get tickets, but i doubt they'll be all that good. i went to brockville ontario and was second in line and got upper bowl in the ACC a couple of years ago. i go online instead, i think it's safer.

[dobyblue]

My 13th row were from WH. I also got a pair in 202 10th row from TM and a single in 201 and a single in 200.
I'm going to try for 2 tix TO on TM through IE, 2 through Netscape and 2 through RealPlayer One.I was just thinking the best place for a AM meet & greet would probably be somewhere on front st on down on Queens Quay at the Boathouse Bar & Grill maybe....they have an excellent patio and Amphitheatre is only a 20 minute walk from there.
Thoughts on pre show activities....?

Michelle, I have never stood in line for TM tickets, I have always got them from the internet, so I dont know. I didnt even know there was a TM ticketbooth in Sudbury....sorry. I dont know if you have better chances on the internet or in a line up....

[DMB-CRAZY]

I think I have decided against getting TM tickets along with my WH tickets. I got reserved seats for TO, I know it means I dont have lawn, but how good are the seats going to be? My thinking earlier was that I was going to get lawn seats, but now that I know im not, I think ill just stick with my WH tickets...any recommendations on what I should do (this goes the same for the Darien show..I got reserved tix)...

Here are my experiences...

Though I expect demand is up this year (no Montreal show, no Michigan show, no SPAC... and better timing), last year WH members did very well for Toronto. The vast majority of WH tickets -- from what I read on the various boards -- where in the 100s and 200s. It seems a good number of first year members were even in the 200s. On the other hand, most TM people were in the 300s and worse. Correct me if I'm wrong, just my observations.

I went to Toronto with a group of 4 last year. My WH pair was in sec. 202 (second year member at the time) and my TM pair, getting right through at 10am, was sec. 304. For Toronto, I think sticking with your WH pair will be fine.

For Darien... it's tough. Darien Lake is not a huge venue, and a large chunk of good seats are for coporate/vip/Clear Channel, so what you get from WH may not be very impressive. You'll pretty much have to be 4th year or greater to get anything better than the 300s. On the other hand, you may not have any better luck with TM. Darien Lake is high demand... it'll sell out faster than a lot of places. I'm not sure what to suggest here, but don't get your hopes up for great seats from either TM, or WH. :)

Thanks alot, you pretty much made up my mind, I think I am just going to stick with my WH tix (although I am only a first year member) I think any seats would be satisfactory to me, I'm just happy they are not lawn. I was in the 400s for TO last year through TM, they werent that bad....I guess this just saves me money and time for trying to sell the other tickets later on.

Why stick with your probably 300 or 400 seats when you could EASILY get 100 or 200 if you just go on to TM on time at noon on April 3rd?

I was going to do the same thing...

But now that I know I have reserved seating, I should be happy. Although, I will be itching to try on Saturday. I think I may log on and see what tickets I can get...and will only order them if they are REALLY good.

[dobyblue]

Go for one pair on;line BUT I'll bet you, even without Montreal or Ottawa, your WH tix will be brilliant. 13th row in the 100's was SOOOO close - it was an awesome experience.
I spoke today to the Warehouse, AMEX Front Of The Line, Ticketmaster and Molson Amphitheatre box office. The only person that confirmed this show is on was the Warehouse (the most important)
Amphitheatre said the show is not confirmed and ticketmaster said the same - that is why it's THE ONLY show of the tour to not be placed on TM as an onsale date of Saturday April 3rd at noon.
Oh well, hopefully they'll put it up on Monday. I've just never seen a show where the whole tour is confirmed by the Official Site and yet the tix are not showing as coming up, despite the rest of the tour being listed.

[dobyblue]

I got a pair in the 200's last year through the Warehouse Instant Ticketing. Sec 202 row 11 or something like that. Brilliant seats, so don't despair if you don't have tix yet and you don't get any on Sat 3rd - there are other ways before having to resort to mugging a scalper and distributing their tickets for free. :)

sheesh, i've got extras, but not for T.O. sorry buddy :p

[crushnancy]

My husband heard the announcment for the show on a local radio station this morning...I am assuming tickets are now up for sale on Saturday on ticketmaster!!!

[Beeshie]

Yup its up on Ticketmaster, and even though it sorta sucks for some that they have a ticket limit of 2 for the 100's,200's and 300's, it works out good for me cause Im only going with one friend and it might make it harder for scalpers to get a shit load of tickets... making it easier for fans like us to get better seats.. just a thought. Well good luck everyone, hope we all get kick ass seats!!!!!

[Rippy]

im gettin lawn. is the lawn decent there?

[Beeshie]

im gettin lawn. is the lawn decent there?

Im not a huge fan of the lawn, Ive seen a few concerts there, and I always find the sound to not be as good, kind of echo'd or tinny, but maybe it was jsut the bands that I saw, Ive never seen Dave while on the lawn there, so it may be fine.... I would say get there early so that you aren't stuck up on the top of the hill though, because if you are closer to the bottom, your view is pretty good, although I wouldnt say that there is any really bad seats in the place, I love the venue, especially watching a summer concert, its pretty sweet....

[kasquith]

im gettin lawn. is the lawn decent there?

Lawn is nice... I've only seen one show from the lawn (Coldplay last June) and the sound was a bit low at first, but either I got used to it or they fixed the problem a few songs in.

Other than that -- lawn is great! Lawn capacity is 7,000... compared to 15,000 to 20,000 at many U.S. venues. And it's at a decent incline. This means even at the very back, it's not too bad of a view at all. I can only base it on one experience, but people were pretty cool and mature. Peaceful but fun lawn. Plus, from the lawn you can see the city skyline in the distance above the pavilion roof and to your left the sun sets over the lake. It's quite beautiful on a summer night.

Attached a cool picture of the venue, borrowed from Weezer's site. It's a fish-eye, so that distorts thing a bit... and the open area in front is the pit... replaced with about 16 rows of chairs for DMB's 100 level.

[Rippy]

sweet

[brockboi]

Yup its up on Ticketmaster, and even though it sorta sucks for some that they have a ticket limit of 2 for the 100's,200's and 300's,
THIS F'N SUCKS. i can't believe they're pulling this shit. i wanna go with my sis and a friend...uhhhh...can't! so stupid.

[DMB-CRAZY]

I was in the 400s last year, and it wasnt too bad, wasnt bad at all actually, so you are allowed 6 in the 400s and the lawn, that way you can go with your sis and the friend...

[dobyblue]

It's still bullshit.
DMB is the only act at the Amphitheatre they are pulling this shit for.
Last year was 4 tix each and 6 in the lawns.
2 each - that's well out of order, 80's style!
I've got 4 people all together. We have drinks before and after no doubt but we wont be sitting together which sucks balls.
I notice ticketmaster says 6 ALL TOGETHER. I'm waiting right now to speak to someone. If I get 2 then get another 2 on the same account and one of them gets cancelled I'll freak
I hope there is Instant Ticketing for the Amphitheatre again.

[AudreyM]

I hope there is Instant Ticketing for the Amphitheatre again.

But you'll still won't get 4 seats together....

[texasdmblvr]

:eek: EEK :eek:

[dobyblue]

But you'll still won't get 4 seats together....
That's okay. I'll be sitting with my brother which will be fine by me. My two buddies Mike and Clint can enjoy the ahow. We'll ba hanging out before the show at Boathouse Bar & Grill 207 Queens Quay and then drinks at the Amphitheatre in the treehouse hopefully with some fellow Ants at both sites.
After much debate I think it's cool that the scalpers will be a little screwed by this 2 ticket thing. The more DMB fans paying face value the better.
The Instant Ticketing I referred to was because last year I got 2 tickets in Sec 203 approx row 11 which was awesome. I was in Sec 102 row 13. :)
I know I wont get 4 together but neither will the scalpers and that's good news.
Sucks for brockboi though; he has 3 people going. Not quite as easy as 4. Someone is on their own or you get 400's or lawns. Nothing wrong with the lawns but DMB at Amphitheatre is an excellent gig when you get close.
I went to Coldplay last year and had 6th row in sec 406. It was an excellent concert and the view is not bad but I really enjoy getting close for DMB. Seeing the way they communicate with each other and their facial gestures - can't beat it.
It just surprised me when I first saw it.

Ticketmaster will allow you to get 3 pairs. Just not at the same time. If you have more than 6 tickets all together on the same name, billing address or CC they will cancel all of them. So at least I should still be able to get my 4 tickets. 2 of them will be much better than the other two - which is why I hope there's some Instant Tickets.

You're right though - we wont be together as four. :(

[Beeshie]

Ive been in the 400's as well and its not that bad, Im glad that my one friend bailed on me, as bad as this sounds because now its just me and my sister so we can have a better chance of getting close..... Im actually going to my work where we are on a network so that the internet line is quicker, because when I got tickets for MSG last year, I was on the site like 1 min after tickets went on sale and we were up in the very balcony behind the stage (really shitty tickets) so Im hoping that with a faster PC it might help me get better seats as well... I dont care too much though, as long as I get there!!!!!

[brockboi]

so here is my plan of attack. i'm going after two tickets. if i get two in the 100s (no chance in hell) or 200s then i'm keeping them and getting two off TM if i still can with another credit card or get two off someone who is selling. if i don't get two good ones, then i'm just going after 4 in the 400s of lawn.

so if anyone is selling extra's i'll prob. be buying if i only get two through TM.

[Beeshie]

I have a question.... when you buy them off TM, you can choose 100,200,300 etc or you can select best available, do you think its best to do best available and see what they come up with or try to get 100's or 200's???

[Onemoredrink]

Scored two tix in section 201 off TM..plus my two warehouse tickets...i'm satisfied...how did everyone else do??

[yin_yang]

The view from the 200s is pretty good...even way at the back..and who knows..maybe your warehouse tix will be even better..

ps..nice email address...saw GNR is London, Ont a couple years ago

[brockboi]

i had to settle for lawns!!!

so as of right now i'm not looking to buy any, but i still may be in a bit.

Do you know by the way where XX is, is it in the back? I'm guessing it is, but on the seating chart it goes ZZ, then W and something else?

I'm still pretty pissed off, I had 203 last year, and it was seat 8, now I have seats 30 AND 31, FARTHER FROM THE CENTRE!!!

[kasquith]

Got WH reserved, but I'll be with a group of four so I grabbed a second pair today. 304, row L. Brutal. Oh well, at least WH will be good like last year.

You know what's disgusting though?
$3.75 per ticket facility charge
$9.25 per ticket TM convenience fee
$5.50 for "TicketFast" or $3.00 for will call or mail.

With the cheapest option, it's almost $30 in fees for a pair of tickets.

WH ain't lookin' so bad again...

"disgusting" is correct. that is just horrible. they can't screw you enough so they put in a fee for WILL CALL or SNAIL MAIL! just terrible. i was pissed at that too.

[scotty12]

203 row YY....seat #s in the 30s I think.

Better than nothing and if WH beats that then selling @ face should be no problem.

[Beeshie]

I AM SO PISSED!!!! I was online and then my server crashed, so I had to speed my ass downtown and get in line, so now i have shitty shitty seats :( sec. 410, becasue this mother fucker after he got his tickets was asking about Deana Carter tickets, I was about to fucking slap him one... so if anyone is selling tickets Ill be interested!!!! beeshie_michi@hotmail.com
IM SOOOOOO ANGRY

Yup XX is right near the back...my warehouse tix were in that row last year..i ended up selling them..but the view from that row wasn't all that bad...(i went and checked it out before heading down to my sweet single seat in the 100s) Damn..i wish i had the same luck as last year....

[scotty12]

^ That was going to a public library with my bro and refreshing like mad.....on The fastest connection I've ever used. We pulled two pairs in the 200s, and bought the second pair. One pair in the 300s. Other than that we didnt see anything good at all, and we are fast typers (some of the words were hard though)

I could barely read my "secret word"..that really pisses me off..i mean its almost like TM doesn't even want you to get tickets....

[scotty12]

I had one where the background was grey and the font was black...with the grid through it as well....Got it wrong!!
Did anyone see any funny words? I remember bowwow, aperature, monesin, dwell, grigri....and a bunch of other BS

[scotty12]

What is with the tickets for this show on eBay saying
Ontario Residents: Ontario province law restricts the resale price of a ticket for this venue (event location). If you are a resident of Ontario, your maximum bid cannot exceed $398.00. More information on eBay's ticket policy. (That is for Sec 303 row K) and this is for sec 203 row WW.
Ontario Residents: Ontario province law restricts the resale price of a ticket for this venue (event location). If you are a resident of Ontario, your maximum bid cannot exceed $599.98. More information on eBay's ticket policy.

Both of those amounts are WAYYY over face value...what gives?

mine said something like "TM Nazi's"...something like that

[Franchize41]

I got 407, could of been better as I was second in line where i was buying but the lady in front of me had a hissy fit over not getting 100s(I doubt theyd be available at the time). Luckily the TM office here booted the lady and her cell-phone then died so she got nothing as far as I know:)

[Rippy]

i got lawn for toronto :thumbsup

[dmb642]

I got sec. 302
TM hooked me up!

[Anewell42]

4 tickets in the 400's. I'm happy.

I also get cranky when everyone ahead of me is paying with credit cards. Cash people!! Cards take too long to enter into..dial up the company etc.. Just a pet peeve I have. Anyways I managed to get a ticket for 203. I would have been happy with anything though. So excited and its still a while away. :lol

[dobyblue]

2 in Sec 302 Row L
2 in Sec 201 Row ZZ
2 in Sec 203 Row YY
2 in Sec 406 Row K
Hopefully the Warehouse will be doing Instant Ticketing and I can pick up 2 more. I have 8 people including myself that want to go so if I can pick up another set of 200's though Instant Ticketing I will sell the 400's - ay face value of course.
i got four, my brother got four.
The Sec 201 row ZZ came up AFTER the 406's?!? i can only presume that the first set of people trying to get tickets either clicked the wrong button (like accidentally hitting search again) or were declined on their cards - so the good seats on hold were released.
I think I did well. If any of the people I got tickets for can't go I will post them here to see if any Ants want them.
It's gonna be GREAT!

[crushnancy]

I got 2 in 220's row WW and decided not to take them....I really can't afford another jpair ontop of the WH pair so I am hoping that my WH ones are good seats!

My mother in law, her sister and my sister in law got 4 on the lawn. My MIL is a closet DMB fan....guess her secret is out now!

I did the same thing, was on 5-10 minutes before, kept hitting refresh till the sale started and still only got 301s. At least you have 200s. I have no warehouse tickets to count on.

hate that type in the code word...

[dmbjc]

i'm not happy either...i was first in line at some tiny little TM outlet, was first in line and got 405...centre, yes...but still...not happy...maybe we should have a gathering of the 400 crew before the show...hmmm...


I AM SO PISSED!!!! I was online and then my server crashed, so I had to speed my ass downtown and get in line, so now i have shitty shitty seats :( sec. 410, becasue this mother fucker after he got his tickets was asking about Deana Carter tickets, I was about to fucking slap him one... so if anyone is selling tickets Ill be interested!!!! beeshie_michi@hotmail.com
IM SOOOOOO ANGRY

2 in Sec 201 Row ZZ





i had section 201 last year and they were great seats

[dobyblue]

:thumbsup
last year I had 103 row 13. Awesome. I think the first row of 200's would have been a little better though. Looking straight at the band instead of up at them!

i read your reviews from last years tour - this morning...i've never laughed so hard...you talk/type more than i do when you're snookered~ :haha :haha

[Rippy]

looking at this pic, it looks like the view from the front of the lawn is obstructed by those in the 400s. any input?

the lawns are about 2-3 feet higher than the top row of the 400s section. even with people standing for the show, you should be able to see the stage and the large tv screens.

there's a separate entrance for the lawn ticket holders, too.

there's a walkway from one side of the amphitheatre to the other, between the 400s and the lawns.

(by the way, on the side of section 410, there is the vip area, a less crowded beer tent, and a less crowded washroom). not sure if there'll be a 'merchandise tent' there this year...

i've seen a whole slew of shows there and sat all over the place...the lawns are fine...there's a great view of the islands and lake ontario from the top of the hill, too!

hope this helps...

[kasquith]

Yeah -- like dmbjc said, don't worry about lawns.

In that picture, there is no lawn behind the 400s sections in view. The lawn doesn't quite extend the full width of the reserved area. I posted a picture earlier in this thread that sorta shows this. But the lawn is probably a good 5 ft above anybody in the last row of 400s. Don't worry, Molson Amp is my favourite lawn of any venue, probably the only lawn I'm willing to take... but I won't for DMB :)

Sounds like a plan Stan, but this time when you see my sister and I dancing around, you have to actually COME UP TO US!!! hahaha Im so pumped and its such a long ways away... oh well, something to look forward to. Thats cool that there is a VIP area right where Ill be sitting, closer to get beer hehehe

The lawns are excellent here. No blockage of view and lots of fun. I've even had fun in the pouring rain at the Amphitheatre watching Oasis. Sound is very good, beer is excellent.

WE had lawn seats last year. We just made sure we were there early so when the gates opened we got the very front of the lawn and centre. THere is a walkway infront of the lawn, a guard rail and about a 10 foot drop down to where there is another walkway and the 400's. The security wouldn't let anyone stand against the guard rail, so it was a perfect view and plently of room for dancing!

Well last year I looked around when the lights went down and you saw a huge cloud of smoke so Im thinking that its pretty good :P

About the lawns, you can see in this pic that lawns aren't obstucted by the 400's http://www.amphitheatres.com/images/molson3.jpg :)

i just talked with a friend of mine and she wants to go to the show now with her boyfriend. so if anyone is selling anything for the toronto show would you be able to message me on msn, PM me on here, or e-mail me at curtissnider@hotmail.com. she would like lawn seats if possible. thanks

wow, people are so blind/deaf. BFFT are NOT opening, or playing with DMB. Confirmed by their manager.

we can still hope!!! BFFT play an earlier show in toronto from what i remember. i agree, i don't think they will be playing with them, but since they do play an earlier show in the day there is a possibility.

[JenMowery]

Wow...pretty harsh!

they are playing at 9 PM. Sorry bout that harsh remark, but it's just been discussed so many times... :ugh:

[dobyblue]

Although speculating is still fun. DMB opening act is normally off at the Amphitheatre by 7:30pm - which gives ample time to get to Nathan Phillips. You can walk to Nathan Phillips from the Amphitheatre in that time.
We await with baited breath. I saw the 04/19 and 04/20 shows in 2002 but I have never seen Daniel Lanois. I would dig seeing him at Molson Amphitheatre and seeing DMB have him out on stage to do The Maker.

well, seeing as how someone was 'speculating' that Outkast would perform with DMB on the west coast, who knows... :BANG

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... :lol :lol :lol

yep...speculating is fun!

oooh...who's gonna be part of the next opening act rumour? britney? justin? cristina? janet? maybe dave and tim will do a special acoustic show before the full band concert! no, wait, i got it - marilyn manson (hey, you never know - dave DID cover cryptorchid once or twice...)

oh...and for those who think i'm serious...wow...silly silly people... :evil

i'm in such a sarcastic mood...

and, by the way, nathan philips square (at queen and university) is about 3km from ontario place (southwest of lakeshore and bathurst)...not across the road... :ugh:

that's all from me...so, any more speculation on who'll open? (i love these icons!) :monkey

Appearently the majority of Toronto Ants are sitting in 203 lol Within a few rows of each other too, what's the odds? ;)

anyone know if there is preferred viewing in the lawn at toronto?

[CornellDMBfan]

we should invent an Ants hand signal or something . . . you know, like a secret society where you don't necessarily know who all the members are . . .

[u2brandon]

That would definetly be cool. I just looked at your seats again I am also row L in 203 lol. Any ideas for the handsign? :p

[brockboi]

everyone wear beads!!!

[QUOTE=brockboi]everyone wear beads!!![/QUOTE

If I remember correctly I have 203 from ticketmaster and 303 row G from Warehouse...I'm 90% positive...however I'm 100% positive that I'm too lazy to verify this right now...now Im heading to bed after seeing what everyone else has

[CornellDMBfan]

[chris917]

i really wish i ordered toronto tickets now. I got 10th row last year from the warehouse and im sure i would have gotten the same this year. If you are anywhere in the 100's you will have a ball, its a great venue. I actually met Woody Harrelson there last year, he was sitting 3 seats away from me.

yeah the toronto show last year was amazing. i just got the audio for it the other day too and made a couple copies of it. it sucked that the tapers picked the two canadian shows to hold onto b/c people were bitching about them getting the shn's out. but anyways, great show last year and the audio for it is def. worth the download.

what D&F show DMB-Crazy? is it the Rochester one? i'm just getting the DVD for it now. it's also on sharing the groove, but it's 8 gigs!!! i'm 85% done, can't wait to get it and people are saying it's a sweet DVD.

No the MSG show, i have tried to mail it to Beeshie twice now and she hasnt gotten it...what date was the rochester show? i may have it, not on DVD though..just audio. I only have 3 DVDs..4.20.02, 4.21.02 & 7.05.03

[brockboi]

rochester was 12-20-03...the d&f show

on sharing the groove mostly you want to check out the auidio or video bit torrents. you need to download a program to get bit torrents to work. check out the FAQs. when you have the software you just click on the link and select where you want to put the files and download away. if something messed up, you can resume. if you want to know anything else about it you can PM me. i don't know much about BT downloads, but getting used to it now.

[dobyblue]

From the groove you first need to go to bittorrent.com and download bit torrent 3.4
then when you go to the groove you just click on the torrent file-usually on the first post, and it will ask you where you want to save it. Most often it saves in .shn so if you have winamp you can download a file that converts it to shnamp - or use MKW to convert it to .WAV.
Incidentally nathan Phillips is at Bay and Queen, not Univ. and Queen - but you can still walk there from the Amphitheatre in less than an hour. you can make the drive in about 10 minutes. DMB hits the stage normally at around 8:03-8:10, not 9:00pm. The curfew at the Amphitheatre is 11pm so if DMB took the stage at 9 they would not be able to play their full set. You can soundcheck two places at once. Elton played London then NYC within 5 hours at Live Aid - no reason why BF&TFT can't do Lakeshore/Strachan to Bay/Queen within 1 1/2 hours!! :D
Maybe Peter Griesar will open.....but I'm just speculating of course. Last year I had WH 103 row 13. This year I'm looking at my TM tix right now for sec 203 row YY and sec 201 row ZZ. Awesome. Anywhere at the Amphitheatre is good but I sure do like those 100's and 200's for DMB!!!

Section 201 Row B!!!!! WOOOO

i was in the back last year so i didnt get to see what the pit there looks like...is my 201 second row seat gonna have to look thru this pit? or will i have a nice view over it? and just have to battle with row a? :lol

[rlight]

you'll have a new view over it. those seats are really good imo.

[BrahmaBull]

[brockboi]

what are people going to this show looking for in a setlist? i'm going to toronto, darien, and SPAC if it does happen this year and i'm expecting something different from each show. for toronto i'm looking for a uptempo fast paced show. after the set played there last year how could i expect less. for darien i'm looking at a slower show, with the odd long jam in there.

what do you think?

I love the long jams at darien, last yrs 41 was nice..and yeah i think youve nailed what i would say will happen, but i never expect anything...i just go knowing I''ll be entertained :monkey

[dobyblue]

excelent...i just hope theyre not too far to the right seing how 201 is the far right section
Don't worry. The 100's on the far side are only 13 rows. If you're in row B you'll have an AMAZING view of the stage and all the band. Believe me - you will not need to look at the screen AT ALL to see their facial expressions.
Have an awesome time. The 200's are 5' above the 100's! No obstruction at all.

In Toronto I would love to see

Seek Up
One Sweet World
Bartender (it was totally brilliant at Amphitheatre Aug 2001)
Grey Street
BOWA
Last Stop
Spoon (cuz it was SO brilliant last year)

and of course some stuff from the new album if it makes it out at the start of the tour! Suhweeeeet!

[brockboi]

you're right, "expecting" is such an exact word, and it's not like that. when i say expect i just mean what i'm thinking going into the show. either way i'll be entertained as well.

[scotty12]

201 is a sweet section, I sat there last year.
I have seats in 303, 203 or 201 (I forget), and 101 row N (I believe). Looking very very forward to this show...would love to see LIOG, Last stop, and spoon again.

Is the recording of last years show good quality?

[BrahmaBull]

you're right, "expecting" is such an exact word, and it's not like that. when i say expect i just mean what i'm thinking going into the show. either way i'll be entertained as well.

yeah, i wasnt comin after you for using expect...i knew what you meant i just didnt wanna say "i expect seek up" and have someone come in and flame me for expecting something..haha.. so i guess it looked like i flamed you..not where i was goin with it haha
