Hersheypark 2004

[flyer3468]

Surprised one of these isn't made yet.

So Who's going

[BustedJeff]

I'm going in hopes that the show will be as good as last years.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

I'll be there too. Last year was my first time attending a show at Hershey and it was awesome. The lot scene wasn't great, but the show was amazing. Seek up opener. I didn't mind the lots, I went for the show! Just giving a little description of last summer.

[SevenMinarets]

I'm going. Last year was incredible. Maybe we will get another 20 min. seek up. :D

[hotstuffcharlie]

I'll be in attendance

[bohazo]

I am planning on making the 5 hour trek from Hartford. I am looking forward to it but I have heard that Hershey isn't the best place to see a show but the band always puts on sick shows there.

[fleckhead]

the park will be open this year. so for those of you who thought the lot scene sucked last year, just wait until this year.

oh yeah, I'll see you there.

[Pig(..)_Duff]

i will be there for the 4th straight year. Last year was amazing, as is every show there IMo. Home state finally gets a show, Maryland, but its midweek which doesnt make a nice comute to summer work in NY. the problems of life

[Pig(..)_Duff]

the park will be open this year. so for those of you who thought the lot scene sucked last year, just wait until this year.

oh yeah, I'll see you there.


I am hoping to get to the park this year. it should be a nice lil break from the world. The lot last year was amazing. I was out in less than 5 minutes from getting to my car. two years ago took me 2 and a half hours to get out.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

yeah it's the easiest lot i've ever gotten out of.

[mikemack8]

I will definitely be there, I've always had a blast at these shows. I don't understand why everyone says how shitty the venue is. Maybe if you get GA seats it is hard to hear, I don't know I've always been close to the front in the stands and could hear and see just fine. And a piece of advice to underagers who will be tailgating.....BE CAREFUL, there are always tons of cops patrolling. Some of them you will see, some of them will be plain clothed. I have seen many people busted there throughout the years including a few friends

[SevenMinarets]

yeah it's the easiest lot i've ever gotten out of.
:thumbsup

[crazydmbmike]

this will be my 3 dmb show.....making the trip from nyc since we got the shaft this year.......not complaining i swear!.........looking forward to another amazing show!

[absltcit33]

really happy it is on the weekend, I will be coming from pittsburgh and probably tailgaiting

[seekup422]

I am SO glad this is on the 10th, I can't go to either Camden show because I'll be gone that week :( Oh well, should be fun, I've never been to Hershey before so that'll be cool.

What could be more important than DMB?

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

[flyer3468]

7/20 and 7/21

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

[seekup422]

do u know which days of the week? ahh i'll just check myself. thanks.
Tuesday and Wednesday I think.

[seekup422]

What could be more important than DMB?
:thumbsup certainly not vacation.

[mp3ray]

I will be going with a friend from Pittsburgh. I always get a seat within the first few rows, thus I always go to Hershey, great venue!

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

i like the lawn, or floor. i forget what it is heh. i had seat tickets but just walked up on the floor man. it was awesome.

[Fluff]

ill be there

[MistreatedLewis]

If Warehouse lets me have tickets, this will be my first Hershey show. I'm excited!

Source?

I've just heard speculation about the festival, nothing concrete.

[seekup40]

supposed to be in long island. two road crew members mentioned this.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

if thats true.. that'd be phat. I figured it'd be in NY since they didnt get a good summer tour.

[DMBfan41]

I hope to go to this show

[dmbfan524]

i will be there myself for the 5th year in a row. seen them all since 2000. hoping to get as good of seats as i did last year from warehouse. actually i hope to get seats where i can see the entire band. didnt see butch at all. and only saw half of boyd and carter. was off to the side but in 6th row

[mxz440fan]

supposed to be in long island. two road crew members mentioned this.
different year, same rumor, same story...bonaroo ne 2003, dmb fest 2004

[JimiThing3403]

This will be my My 6th straight year at Hershey! seen them all since 1999. Hershey is always a must for me!

Last years Was The Best! See you all there July 10th!!! :bounce

[antsmarching124]

Definitely going, Seek Up opener last year was sick, best opener I've ever heard.

[seekup40]

different year, same rumor, same story...bonaroo ne 2003, dmb fest 2004

oh ok, and what were your sources?

[flyer3468]

Definitely going, Seek Up opener last year was sick, best opener I've ever heard.


Seek up from last year is up there as one of my best openers, I got to hear Ants Marching open up a show at the Vet.

[onemoredrink40]

hershey sucks....that is all

[mxz440fan]

oh ok, and what were your sources?
AM.org announced dmb was playing at bonnaroo NE...you want me to find a better source, because I can't say I'd call an individual on a message board saying "there will be one on long island this year" a paticularly good source.

[seekup40]

i didn't say it, two employees of the band did.

[mxz440fan]

i didn't say it, two employees of the band did.
ok so by now we're at 3 degrees of seperation.

heres my version of that story:
i once knew this guy that said this one time he heard some people saying they overheard carter whispering to leroi what sounded like a conversation involved steve lillywhite and making an album sometime between the dates of 1850 and 2020 which would include a live recording from 'festival' in the vicinity of california to maine and possibly florida...so you must be in the same boat as me, eh, only your guy you once knew had a little better directional skills, eh ;)

i'm just saying...take what you hear with a grain of salt, especially when it is the same rumor over and over

[mikemack8]

hershey sucks....that is all
you suck more....that is all

[Pig(..)_Duff]

evryone grow up. want festival talk? go to the festival board instead of wasting a good ole thread where we are supposed to be happy going to show.

[seekup40]

shoosh your piehole and deal with it :violent

[greppson]

i might find myself milling around hershey park on july 10th, my b-day...

[FPrefect61]

If my friend wants to go and can put me up for the weekend, I might go.

[greppson]

oh yeah. i forgot about finding a place to stay. oops. maybe i won't be going then.

[bdb23]

Help a brother out. I know I'm spoiled with Alpine shows, but what is the scene like? Tailgating? Hotels? Park? Venue? I'm thinking of coming over this year and want to know if it's worth it. Thanks.

[DMBNate23]

I'll be coming to Hershey again this year, should be great being on a Saturday. Maybe this year they'll play BOWA and WWYS since they were dropped off the setlist last year due to the noise curfew. It will be really tough to beat last year's gem but gotta keep the expectations up. Plan on getting excellent seats this year on the floor. Just a reminder that with it being a Saturday in June, Hersheypark should be very busy and might cause another year of crazy traffic getting out. I've been going since '01 but never went in the main entrance to park. How is the tailgating situation? I'm looking to enjoy myself as much as possible this year, anyone have any comments.

[DMBNate23]

Oh yeah, by the way, "hmmm chocolate!"

[bdb23]

Request submitted. First-timer to Hershey.

[DMBNate23]

Here's a question....How many people go into Hersheypark during the day before the concert, or does everyone just party all day before the show. You can't drink in the park, well they don't like people drinking outside the park from what I've gathered from tailgaters. Is it really a big deal for people of age to drink before the show?

I think if you are kinda discreet about it you should be fine, but they do enfore the no alcohol rule more than most places.....and I think if you show tickets for the show that night, you get in to the park for really cheap that day

[DMBNate23]

Yeah they sell a discounted park price with your concert ticket, I was just curious who takes advantage of that. I actually work for Hershey Entertainment Co. and can get into the park for free whenever, too bad I don't get free access to the Budweiser tent or the VIP area.

[jimithing1221]

i'll be there with my best friend...first time at hershey for me.

[onemoredrink40]

you suck more....that is all

and why exactly do i suck?

[mxz440fan]

and why exactly do i suck?
let it go....

nate, you want to get me and my brother into the park for free :)?

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Seek up from last year is up there as one of my best openers, I got to hear Ants Marching open up a show at the Vet.i was supposed to be at that show but couldn't make it... that whole show kicked ass man. :(

[seekup422]

i was supposed to be at that show but couldn't make it... that whole show kicked ass man. :(
:( yeah I could've gone too but I didn't find out until too late.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

It sucks man. :( I got ditched that nite. Thats why i didnt go.

[seekup422]

aw that sucks

[cbsauder]

i bet security is gonna be pretty tight when it comes to tailgating and stuff w/ the park being open; famlies and stuff goin to the park arent gonna want a bunch of drinking/drunk fans in the parking lot.

[Pig(..)_Duff]

01 and 02 had enough people tailgating though and park was open those years.

[mikemack8]

yeah you can tailgate, you just gotta watch and stay under control

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

03' the park was closed and there wasn't any tailgating... just kids getting the breathalizer or w/e.

[DMBNate23]

Yeah it's probably a benefit to have the park open, that way security has to focus on park issues more and not enough on busting tailgaters.

[Fluff]

the park was closed last year which was great. no lines at choc. world. and great beer drinking time

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

FLUFFHEAD WAS A MAN!!!
with a horrible disease...

I did nothing in the lots at Hershey because I didn't want to be one of those underaged drinkers getting arrested. I smoked inside.

[seekup422]

haven't seen this for awhile, only 122 days left! (I think)

[SevenMinarets]

haven't seen this for awhile, only 122 days left! (I think)
too long

[Fluff]

too long




:thumbsup

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

yeah it is real far away.

[mikemack8]

should be a great show, hope it's as good as last years.....

[SS5ball]

As with some others this will be my 5th straight year attending DMB at Hershey Park. It certainly has its ups and downs in regards to venue and also tailgaiting scene. The venue is not anywhere close to the sound quality you would get at say a Tweeter center (NJ) or Alpine. However the band does seem to put on above average shows when they come into town. I am sure everyone has heard about last year (9-11), but other years, especially 2000, were also awesome. If you have never heard that show I suggest checking it out. As for the parking lot its not as bad as what everyone seems to think. True if you are under age your chances of being caught are unfortunately pretty high. If you are over 21 the worst that could happen would be undercover police may come and ask for your id. Even if you get to the venue early before the parking lot for the stadium is open you can still tailgate where the amusement park lot is. Security is basically the same there with the exception of more bike cops than undercovers. Well hope to see some of you there especially since it seems like a few others will be making the journey from Pittsburgh as well.

Thanks for the info. :thumbsup

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

How about another Seek Up opener?

[mikemack8]

How about another Seek Up opener?
:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

It'd be sweet, unless we could hear it at another show instead. Maybe Hershey won't leave out BOWA this year... I was pretty upset about that.

Oh I know. I was at Hershey last year too, and when I saw a copy of the setlist, I wished they hadn't cut it. I've only heard BOWA once out of 28 shows (8.5.00 at the Gorge) and I would love to hear it again sometime.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Ahh you were really lucky to hear it once... *Cries*

haha. Jk. you were lucky though.

[Love_love_Love]

I am so sad..I can't go to Hershey this year! :( I have been to the last...3. My family is going on vacation July 17th for a week and its too close to ask for another day off of work. I do hair, and Saturday's in July are BOOKED with weddings. I'm sure I'm going to get killed for asking for two of them off already. So, forget about Hershey this year. It was always the best place for my boyfriend and I to take a little semi-vacation. I miss everyone from last year's thread! Have fun guys, but nothing can top last years show..I kept saying "this is the best day of my life!" after each song because I couldn't have picked a better setlist out myself!

I AM going to night 2 of Starlake, (it's a Sunday..my day off)..it probably won't compare though..

[Afoolsmistake]

I will definitely be there, I've always had a blast at these shows. I don't understand why everyone says how shitty the venue is.

I have seen many people busted there throughout the years including a few friends

Yeah ( PAY ATTENTION TO THIS) This will be my 4th year there Mike's 110% right. They do in fact have plain clothes on patrol, every year I see so many kids get busted...

Cheers,
J

[JimiThing3403]

Ive been to hershey every year since 1999, every show has been fantastic (especially 2000 and 2003)

I also Heard They cut out What Would You Say was supposed to be after cry freedom last year? true? Damn, if they would have played BOWA and WWYS on top of what they already played in 2003, it would have been a 3+ hour show. I think it ran 2:45 and they had to leave the stage after two step because they got fined, or were going to get fined because of the curfew.

[MinookaMac]

Has anyone ever stayed at the Hampton Inn on chocolate ave...I got 2 rooms for after the show.....I never knew about camping....Been to hershey 99,00,01 always a good show always a bad scene..undercovers EVERYWHERE
That is what i call a brownie show

[mikemack8]

Yeah ( PAY ATTENTION TO THIS) This will be my 4th year there Mike's 110% right. They do in fact have plain clothes on patrol, every year I see so many kids get busted...

yeah they cut out both those songs......imagine that show with them....

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

I didn't know about WWYS but that makes me even more upset. Last year was still tight though.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

I'm listening to last years show rite now... Seek Up :D WOW!!!

[BustedJeff]

I'm listening to last years show rite now... Seek Up :D WOW!!!

Whole show = WOW!!!

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Whole show = WOW!!!No doubt, I had just put disc 1 in though and Seek up started... So i had to reply to this thread again and give it a WOW!!!

[seekup422]

That sucks :( My family is going on vacation the 17th too, which is why I'll be missing Camden, but it worked out okay, I'm planning on four shows this summer.
edit: only 117 days left! (I think)

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

only 117 days left! (I think)That'll be the thought that keeps me up tonite. :(

damn free vacations! lol

last years show is the one i'm most proud to say i was at..it was a dmb milestone

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Fo sho' lol

[dmbnj79]

I'll probably be attending this show with my boyfriend....I'll just need two tickets :)

[SS5ball]

Certainly one of the top shows in my mind of last year. I thought the highlight was hearing the improve (scat/ mumble/ whatever you want to call it) on Jimi Thing. Dave's expressions were so animated. If I am not mistaken I believe that was the first time that version of Jimi Thing was played. I know the rest of the summer it was included as well. The version on central park is awesome as well but its tough to beat when you see it live first hand.

you are mistaken.....but it's cool :)

[mxz440fan]

you are mistaken.....but it's cool :)
hershey's show had to be one of my favorite summer shows (and i didn't even get to go to it). jimi thing did rock.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

yeah it was def. the best show i went to.

[mikemack8]

hershey's show had to be one of my favorite summer shows (and i didn't even get to go to it). jimi thing did rock.
oh I wasn't disagreeing that it was a GREAT show, just saying that wasn't the first time he scatted at the end of Jimi Thing on that tour

[casanova dmb]

just found out the only show i got declined for was hershey...s.o.b....its only 10 minutes from my house, and ive been there every year they played....bummer...guess ill have to find alternative means...

[bdb23]

Has anyone heard of Galactic?? I've checked out some of their stuff at their site (http://www.galacticfunk.com/) and it is distinct. Any thoughts???

[bohazo]

I am still not sure if I am going to this... A freind of mine requested the tickets through WH and she is on vacation until Monday, arghh. If I/she was denied I don't think I will be going.

[seekup422]

Has anyone heard of Galactic?? I've checked out some of their stuff at their site (http://www.galacticfunk.com/) and it is distinct. Any thoughts???
:thumbsup cool site, I was listening to their stuff and I really like them. I can't wait for Hershey!

[trpnbillies]

Can't wait for Hershey !! Hope the show is as good as last year's. :)

[DOzimek1]

http://www.hersheypa.com/events/hersheypark_stadium/event_news_detail.asp?ID=327
this says "dave matthews band with nerd"
i thought galactic was opening, am i mistaken??
oh and i can't wait till the show either, this will be my fifth time at hershey and its nice because i live only 20 minutes away, so that is always good.

[seekup422]

NO! I have to see NERD already, at least let me get one opening act I like. I hope to god that was a mistake, dmband.com says galactic.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

i wish we were seeing ben harper or OAR.

[mxz440fan]

guster would work for me. or ingram hill...they opened for a guster concert and were pretty damn good

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

For a while I thought the Pittsburgh shows fell under "OAR's guest appearance list" but I just found out i was wrong... :(

[seekup422]

I don't mind seeing galactic, I listened to some of their stuff and I really like them, but I do not want to see NERD in Virginia Beach, I would rather anyone else but them.

[Noles20]

Can't wait for Hershey !! Hope the show is as good as last year's. :)

That's a lot to hope for. Last year was my first at Hershey, but I'll be back this summer. It is a great venue. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Last year was my 1st too... I think i'll go every summer for now on.

[bigpapa7272]

ok hershey is a great venue and all but the thing that ticks me off so bad about it is the DAMN CURFEW. if they didnt have the curfew, the show last september would have been beyond awesome. like a dmb concert is going to wake the geriatric ward in downtown hershey. or disturb the 2 rednecks living down the road whoopdie frickedey doo if the curfew is such a big thing in hershey then they shouldnt have an opening act there and just come out at 7 or 7:30 or just add like 3 dollars to the price of the ticket(to cover the fine) so dave and the boys can play as long they want and we(the money paying fans) dont get jipped. as far as the cops issue goes we should just have krispy kreme turn on the hot donuts sign 2 hours before the concert til about 2 or 3 am so the cops stay out of everyones hair. everyone knows a cop cant turn down a hot fresh krispy kreme donut. :lol :BANG :thumbsup

i was suprised that i got them. i mean i woke up too hung over to remember that i was supposed to order tickets. somehow by the grace of ticketbastard 2 good seats were left at 11.

[fleckhead]

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

probably. I dont kno what that DMB set was tho that you saw live, so i couldn't really tell you. Last year was probably the best show in the summer tour tho. Maybe we'll get lucky again :D

[ShamrockinGirl]

Just stay at my house. I live an hour away. :P haha. Jk.
You coulda told me that before I spent money on a room! :lol

Good score, you are 3 rows in front of me, and 5 seats to the left.

Thats about 1/2 way back. I sat in that area last year. it's not that bad.

Here's another, I'm sitting in D2 too. :)

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Maybe I'll go to Hershey alone again this year

[JonTheRevalator]

i will be there only because it is a half hour drive. otherwise, i would skip it. bad place to see a show, horrible tailgating situation, and they stop selling beer at 8:45!! what a joke, but see u all there.

[JonTheRevalator]

hey goldphish, did warehouse ticket assignments come through yet?

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Weird, i'm listening to JTR. Yah it's a bad place to tailgate, watching the performance on the floor isn't bad tho. Tailgating is fun, but i'm there for the music maaan.

im there for the music too. however, the sound leaves that stadium very easily and the acoustics suck. ive seen over 30 different acts there, and for some reason it is a very popular venue. I think it is because they can pack an extra 10,000 people in there as opposed to the amphithetre ( hershey has one u know!!). anyway, ill be there if your are looking for people to hang with.

It's not too far from my house so i'm def. there.

[Camasii]

I'll be there :) somewhere in section A

[fleckhead]

Tailgating won't be too bad this year if you park across the street in the grass. It wasn't open last year because the park was closed.

[dmbfan0874]

Section A. . .Row 20. . .Seats 14-15. . .This will be my first time at Hershey Stadium. I am from Albany, N.Y. and I see most of my shows at S.P.A.C. As you should all be aware, DMB has skipped over that venue for the first time since 1995. Why? Who knows. Anyway, I get to see my favorite band in a place I've never been. I can add it to my short list of DMB venues: Saratoga Performing Arts Center(Saratoga, NY), Pepsi Arena(Albany, NY), Germain Amphitheater(Columbus, OH). . .12 great shows!!! See you all in Pennsylvania!

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

I'll be down on the floor.

[TheMakersVeil]

im front row center (atleast i hope to be) all i know is im on the floor for hershey and won't know my seats till wh tells me so probly many many weeks to come

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

hahaha. i wont have my tickets until summer, i guess i'm front row too as of now.

[GimiJimi44]

If i can get tickets this will be my first time at a DMB concert.
I cant wait to go and am so excited because of all this talk of how good last years show was.... Just gotta hope for another good show!:)

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

It should be a good one. Hopefully anyway.

[SS5ball]

Was just listening to the 2002 show yesterday. I forgot how good it was. Pretty unique setliset. You Never Know, Captain and Kit Kat Jam right in a row. Hershey always takes a bad rap for the sound quality (which unfortunately is not the greatest) but the boys do tend to put on good shows. If anyone else has the '02 show can you hear right before 2 step some guy in the crowd yells 2 step and then boyd starts with the intro? Its kind of funny and almost serves as a good segue into the song.

[bdb23]

Anyone know if section C starts with Row 1 or some other row number? I've seen many different arrangements for the field reserved seating. Thanks.

[bigpapa7272]

yes all sections on the field start with row 1

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

we can walk as far as we want on the lawn can't we?

Although it will start with row 1, it is about 3 rows back than row 1 of section B.

This show was my first Hershey show and the reason I am going back this year!! This is one of my favs to listen to as well. Pig was awesome and I love how Dave used the "moon-lit night" in place of starry night. I remember looking up at the moon as he said that.... :cool: They also played one of the best LIOG I have heard.
The warehouse hooked me up with 14th Row Center for this year and I just need July to hurry up and get here.

[TheGameHHH]

i'll be there man

[bdb23]

Any suggestions for places to stay that are somewhat cheap???? Thanks.

Yeah Pig was awesome as well and it has been the only time I have seen it live at a show. Also kind of a unique encore. Loving Wings, Grace is Gone and Grey Street. Not my fav encore ever but certainly has not been repeated since. Thats awesome you are in the 15th row. Last year I was in 13th but a little off to the left. Great view though.

[SS5ball]

Off hand I do not know. However some of my best friends live in the Harrisburg area ( 10 min from Herhsey) and I can ask around for the better and closer places to stay. May have to give me a few days for this one but I will post again to let you know.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Dude, what's up with the floor? I had grand stand tickets last year or something like that, but i just stayed on the floor and had a great view. I was really close, and i thought it was weird but cool that i had bad seats and got to have such a good spot at the show.

[TheGameHHH]

i don't think i've ever sat/stood in the assigned area designated on my ticket for that evening. hershey is such a free-for-all, it's weird like that.

[magnumdan]

I am driving some 5-6 odd hours from Cleveland. I am going to hit Storm Runner and Lightning Racer all day inside the park and then go inside the Stadium. I got my tickets through the warehouse and got Section C2 row 4!

No Hershey chatter? Isn't anyone else psyched for this show? I'm glad it is on a Saturday. Even though it will be a madhouse, the more, the merrier.

[BustedJeff]

Of course I'm phyched! If it's half as good as last years, it will be an awesome show.

[kmkeller21]

i got tickets and the section says c2 is that the same section as the C section shown on the seating chart on dmb.com???

[BustedJeff]

C2 is it's own section...couldn't tell you where it is though.

[mihighdavehead]

C2 is it's own section...couldn't tell you where it is though.
Its off to the side like D2 and E2. Right next to the stands would be my best guess.

Were there sections ending in 2 last year? I don't remember them.

I will be going to hershey this year, coming from NYC.

My seats are in Section 25 row T, I was wondering if anyone could offer any insight as to what kind of seats I have, I have never been to hershey before.

Hey, just to let you know. I was checking out the Hersheypark website and they have a special concert deal that you can get tickets to the amusement park the day of the concert for 20 bucks. The stadium is basically in the park so I'm sure you could just walk there. They have some pretty sweet rollercoasters there so I think I'm gonna go. Check out the website here: http://www.hersheypa.com/attractions/hersheypark/admission/concert_special.html

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I thought it was pretty cool.

Field Seat sections are identified by letters - rows and seats vary for each event and are subject to change.

[jtrdmb4140]

I will be in attendance again...every one since 98...missed 96, because I was a meathead, but I will be there this year. I agree with all the others...people spread this crap about the sound being so bad at Hershey, but I have always heard every word, every nuance of the violin, sax, etc., and have always had a great time. Tailgating can be a bit treacherous for those of us who are either a) stupid, or b) underage. Be smart, and you'll be fine. Last year we had a card table and drinking games all afternoon with 3 coolers scattered around us, but it was no matter. We were chill, and that kept the pigs away.

Anyway...last year is a VERY TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW, but, Hershey has NEVER let me down, and I know DMB won't start this year. CHEERS! See you all in chocolatetown, PA on 7.10!!!!!!! :bounce

[Pig(..)_Duff]

Glad its on the weekend this year. I will be hitting up the park followed by a great show I hope. I don't expect anything of the calibar of last year, but it should be an amazing time nonetheless. Been to heshey everytime since 01, which was my first show and been hooked since.

[dmbfan524]

i love ...willy.....wonka (dave speak before introducing norah jones for hershey 2002) cant wait for it. havent missed hershey since 2000

[Pig(..)_Duff]

norah was a pretty good opener. I think i missed last years, i dont remember them... i think it was north miss. allstars or something like that right? Totally spacing on them. remember getting great parking spot though, so i got outta there in 5 mins max

[mihighdavehead]

luuuuuuuvvvv chocolate!!!

[mxz440fan]

norah at darien in 2002=sucked ass.
i would have rather had pee-wee herman up on stage masturbating, it would have been a lot less painful.

I disagree... she was alright. i dont think it was anything spectacular, and wasnt the best opener I have seen, but she suited her role of going out there and filling time before the band came on. She has a decent voice, and it was calming to listen to personally. Then when the boys started stone it was like pow energy. I liked the contrast.

[DMBfan14567]

I went to Hershey once...it was good, I enjoyed myself for the most part...except the security guy yelling at me to put my camera away (I was 7th row) oh, and the cops in the lots kinda sucked...I didn't enjoy the horse poop all over.

[dmbnancies86]

Anyone tryin to get rid of a single? I'm hoping to buy a good ticket off of someone in section A B or C. My email is lalamikey@hotmail.com email me if you have anything you want to get rid of.. I can do paypal. Just let me know about the ticket and stuff. Later

they should come around with free chocolate during the shows, or have the band throw bars off the stage or something.... atleast give you a free one as you enter the stadium.

Yeah. I guess most of the Hershey people are SPAC people, too. I'm kind of an odd one coming from the Chicago area.

[Pig(..)_Duff]

hershey just seems soooo far away. I hope that it sells more ticks than the last couple years, for the bands sake and so they keep coming.

state fair...would be a hot place for them to play...but its incredibly small. maybe d&t.

[Pig(..)_Duff]

state fair would be way too crowded, the carrier dome is too hefty bag like, war memorial sucks, rochester and albany are for winter. not sure where else could be done. there should be an amphitheater big enough in the fingerlakes region. its so beautiful and so many places there could be one, too bad there isnt to my knowledge

[wagx3]

i can't wait for hershey. not only will it be my first dmb show, but my first time at the park. my friends and i are doing the park by day, and the show by night. it's amazing! the whole weekend is gonna be soooo fun!!

roller coasters, chocolate, and dmb..........oh man

[Pig(..)_Duff]

thats what i did for my first show, i have to say though by the show i was darn tired. Prepare yourself son, nothing like the enrgy gotten by the first show though, and its bound to be a goodun. best of luck and have fun.

oh and hershey was where i got my DMB cherry popped as well and wouldnt have had it any other way.

[kelmerh]

i'll be there. sec D row 52. of course i waited waaaaaay to long to make hotel arrangements (i'm driving in from jersey) and all the places within 5 miles seem to either be booked or have a 2 night minimum. sooo...anyone know of a good place to stay that's close and not $200 / night? also, has anyone ever camped at hershey?
