Offical SPAC 2004 Thread

[Nick11dx]

I know its not announced but my best friend just called me, whose father is on the board of SPAC(they are the ones you figure out when certain bands can come) and he said that they are definatly coming for 2 night and that there might be a possible 3rd night.

Now with this if you look at the stops you can see alot of 2-3 day gaps inbetween stops, again this possible could be for 3 night stops. I know you guys dont believe me but i can assure you dmb will be at SPAC this year.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

it'd be cool. i hope so.

[Nick11dx]

just to let people know im not a person who starts stuff. This is a true story and there are many people that i know who work for or part of SPAC

[ordis]

i can assure you dmb will be at SPAC this year.
as the song goes:
I believe in miracles...


it wouldnt summer without dmb at spac

[twosteppn36]

the only time i could see it happening is july 4th and 5th....thats the only time that both the band and spac have openings....unless its at the end of the tour of course

[Nick11dx]

thats what they said i believe it would be in the gap between 6/30 (toronto) and 7/6(mansfield) it would make sense too because spac is somewhat in the middle of the two

[halloween21]

Well if thats true and i tend to believe nick it would be awesome. Summer is not summer with out DMB at SPAC.
HERES TO SPAC 04

[twosteppn36]

thats what they said i believe it would be in the gap between 6/30 (toronto) and 7/6(mansfield) it would make sense too because spac is somewhat in the middle of the two



the only problem is that the band would be playing 4 nights in a row...2 spac, 2 mansfield.....but oh well, we'll get the first 2 nights :p

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

dave isnt going to play 4 nites in a row, not even 3.

[Nick11dx]

I was just watching tv and news channel 10(ABC) announced that SPAC has a huge announcement for a show this summer and "its so big" that they will be doing it live at 11


ill keep you all informed

[twosteppn36]

wtf mate....i wanna watch

[Nick11dx]

the only problem is that the band would be playing 4 nights in a row...2 spac, 2 mansfield.....but oh well, we'll get the first 2 nights :p


True but who says one of the days dmb has to play at all or at least a big set?

[Nick11dx]

seriously my friend is going nuts just called me up and was like you hear bout spac. Its a huge buzz going around right now with the people of albany/saratoga

[twosteppn36]

you better not leave your god damn computer until after they announce the big news



because we need to know!

[pooleman]

Someone posted on the Warehouse board that he had a friend "in the know" and that it would be July 2-3. Guess we'll know soon!

theres a little theatre....but would they conflict the opera and the people seeing the opera with 30,000 crazy dmb fans :lol

[ordis]

the opera and dmb at spac at the same time, hey at this point ill take whatever i can get ;)

[pooleman]

theres a little theatre....but would they conflict the opera and the people seeing the opera with 30,000 crazy dmb fans :lol

Yeah not a lot of common ground there I'd imagine... :D

[Nick11dx]

they would definatly move the opera for a big concert

[twosteppn36]

nick...does this abc station have a website?

[Nick11dx]

yeah they do checked nothing there. But there definatly will be an announcement

[newscane]

yeah they do checked nothing there. But there definatly will be an announcement

It's www.wten.com (my grandparents live near Albany, so I'm familiar with the stations). But I wouldn't expect anything to be there until tomorrow... let's count on Nick for the scoop at 11.

[Nick11dx]

yeah its all bout yesterdays new i believe. But ill be back at 11


the inferno is on....sorry

[bohazo]

They are going to announce DMB's shows at SPAC on the news? I have to think it is bigger than that, if it is DMB related.

[twosteppn36]

you better be back at 11 god damnit :lol

[unccrombie]

what does my sig say? oh yeah...

cheers to nick

[unccrombie]

wait :lol i'll laugh if dmb doesn't come and we have this thread

:haha

[JstMyLuck3]

Hey guys, i saw the news, I live in the area...not to say he's incorrect but I'm pretty sure the story is about how the NYC ballet will not be coming to SPAC this year. It is a disappointment to some, so probably more likely to be the story than DMB. Also I don't recall hearing anything about a big announcement, but I could be wrong. I will watch the news and tell you if I hear anything else.

[twosteppn36]

thats probably it.....but we can believe cant we? :lol

[JstMyLuck3]

I'm all for believing, trust me!

[unccrombie]

thats probably it.....but we can believe cant we? :lol
i dunno man, 1/2 of me is saying no chance in hell the other is the complete opposite, we'll find out in 35 minutes

[twosteppn36]

all im thinkin is how good to would feel to not have to go to darien

[unccrombie]

all im thinkin is how good to would feel to not have to go to darien
i agree, but they will not announce dmb tonight, at the most their concert schedule release date or something (that PRETAINS to dmb)

secondly, this offcial thread pisses me off

[Nick11dx]

Well im guessing it is about the NYC Ballet

but if it was about concerts it would specifically be dmb....it would be all the concerts.

Is it me or did dmb put out the concert dates a little earlier?

[unccrombie]

it's prob about the ballet in corralation with the release of the "when we will release summer concert info" last year dmb put out dates in march if i remember, keep us posted after 11

[Nick11dx]

alright its definatly the ballet thats all theyre taling bout. It was a huge thing though for people of albany/saratoga, alot of people thought it would be about the concerts. Im still 100% sure that dmb will be at spac for the summer just because of people who work at spac and have stated that they will be back. If its anything different on the news ill let you all know

[unccrombie]

ok, thanks, i'm gonna burn a few CDs, i'll be back around 11:10

[mawron]

The NYC Ballet leaving SPAC (2005 season) was in the papers last week, unless Albany is well behind their own local news . . .

[BustedJeff]

Thoughts of SPAC make my penis engorged with blood.

I've been hearing about how SPAC doesn't let performers advertise dates there until the venue releases the info. Is this true?

[unccrombie]

we'll see what the news has to say, i still think this thread was unncessary

[mawron]

http://www.wten.com/Global/story.asp?S=1662804&nav=6uyML22I

"Hundreds of people showed up at the Saratoga Library to support the continuation of the NYC Ballet at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC). The supporters packed themselves into the community room in order to find a way for the ballet to continue its run at the Center.

SPAC started as a summer home for the NYC Ballet back in 1966, but now 39-years later the board says it is just too costly to support and voted to end the relationship after the 2004 summer.
However, those at the meeting say you cannot put a price tag on the arts.


The organizers discussed many plans to reinstate the ballet. They are circulating a petition in support of the NYC Ballet, which now has up to 3,000 signatures. They are also encouraging people to begin to buy tickets for the 2005 season. Plus, they are getting help from assemblyman Jim Tedisco who says the legislature had no idea SPAC was having trouble. Local leaders want to get the Saratoga City Council behind the "Assemblyman's efforts, pushing to get a resolution to reject the board's decision.

There's the story . . . sigh . . .

[unccrombie]

so that's what he was worked up about? :lol

[BustedJeff]

Wow, that's a very important story...sigh...

[unccrombie]

i'm goin to bed, got all excited for nothing

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

I'm going to go to bed. This stinks. I never liked the ballet anyway.

[twosteppn36]

i still have a little hope....i mean...who can say no to this?

[unccrombie]

i still have a little hope....i mean...who can say no to this?
dmb management can. i dunno ordering starts in 3 days, the way i see if if it's not announced by then...tough luck

[bohazo]

I don't know, I think they will be playing at SPAC or they have a festival planned for that time. I just don't see them skipping SPAC or the lower NY region. But, as mentioned, ordering begins soon. If they are not announced then it is just going to cause all sorts of problems. Seems like they announced these tourdates a little early this year, perhaps so they can do ticketing for the festival? Who knows-certainly not me. I wasn't planning on hitting up SPAC this year anyway but I am very surprised they will not be playing there.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

maybe the festival will be in ny.

[chrrie]

ordering series 1-4 won't be a problem. they've added shows on in the past and have just added an extra series. if spac were to be announced, it'd be in a whole new series.

I sure hope you're right. Why don't they just have the concert and have the stupid Ballet dancers guest on a song?

[RaynorC]

Who cares if they go to SPAC or not? Too bad. You NYers are spoiled anyway.

[Nick11dx]

i believe spac hasnt released the shows yet so that means band cant either

[newscane]

yeah, if you go to clear channel's site for SPAC, it still says "check back later."

I hope the dates get released soon... I'm already planning to go visit my relatives up there around July 4th weekend, and I'd like to know if I need to adjust my plans for the concerts. I went to last year's SPAC shows and had a great time.

[FSold1515]

well first off hey everyone im Frank from good old central NY lol :bounce

and second Oh God the tour better make a stop at good old S.P.A.C.
-my first(and only so far) DMB shows where there and i hope my next two are. i had the time of my life last summer me and my buddy have been planning on S.P.A.C. again since the drive home last summer and i just hope the rumors are true(either way Darien Lake should prove to be ok)

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Who cares if they go to SPAC or not? Too bad. You NYers are spoiled anyway.any DMB fan should care because it always gets a good show, even if u can't go it's always a good show to burn man.

[seekup41nancies]

I am From VT (only 1.5 hrs away) and the SPAC shows are a tradition for us, I am pretty sure dates will be announced. If so, I'll see ya'll at Lee's Campground/ RV Park again. Fingers crossed :)

Kev

[MistreatedLewis]

NY does get treated well, but it's also a really big market with a ton of fans. I think the fact that there is more uproar over the deletion of SPAC than the deletion of Continental / MSG just goes to show that SPAC is a really special place to see the band, and that's why it is such a disappointment.

[drty snchz]

i wish it would happen but warehouse says it isnt happening and spac says it isnt happening so forget folks and make other plans :(

[JstMyLuck3]

who heard spac say it isnt happening?

[unccrombie]

who heard spac say it isnt happening?
my email doesnt help

[BustedJeff]

my email doesnt help

You emailed the Warehouse, right?

If what they're saying about not being able to announce dates until SPAC does is true, it makes perfect sense that the Warehouse would play ignorant. They're not immune to the rules of the venue.

I certainly hope SPAC talks up about something. I emailed them, but they never responded.

[ziggyosk]

I e-mailed SPAC too, still waiting to hear from them. :violent

[scotty12]

If it is happening? How long will they leave it until announcing it??

Why put off the "announcement," if there is one. Everyone who is hitting multiple shows will be making (or trying to) make their plans right now, so are they planning on letting the fans know once all their cash has been spoken for with other tickets, hotels, flights? I wouldnt think so.

I'm hoping for a SPAC show, but doubtful as to what to do in the meantime.

[CornellDMBfan]

not sure how many times this has been said in the previous 75 posts, but my friend's mom, who works at SPAC, said that dMb is playing two nights there, one of which is the 4th of July. if that's true, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that's gonna be one frickin' kickin' show . . .

[bohazo]

If they do play at SPAC I really hope they announce it during the ticketing process, otherwise it is going to cause problems. For some reason I could see that happening and them just adding them. Those that want to go will know so I think this would work.

like someone said, a seperate series, but money management wise it's a poor idea.

secondly, i am right about SPAC releasing their dates, it's happened in the past and to dmb as well (refer to previous posts in this thread)

thirdly, about a release date, whos knows. if and when they release their lineup, dmb can hold out as it could pertain to the festival. whereas if it's a regular 4th of july show they may announce it after the public onsale date, and have another series/public date. or they may even release it before the public date

[mxz440fan]

spac has released their lineup, they released it before dmb released their tour dates

[mute423]

that would be the opera, not the summer concert series...notice most of those events are not even in the main ampitheater but in the little Spa Theater.

[eisnach41]

i guess there is still hope if a show was just added to the end of the tour in utah!!!

[drty snchz]

i spoke to the spac people and they said it wasnt happening-the person i spoke seemed disappointed about it so why would they be lying. she said it had to do with problems with clear channel

the only days all summer with 2 days open is july 4th and 5th- i dont expect it but im still hoping for a suprise

[Nick11dx]

I dont know i have a friend whos dad or mom works there and they said it was happening

[unccrombie]

let's face the facts that it isn't going to happen this year. :(
what proof is there to that? we simply base our hope around the concert list. therefore since it's not out, and dmb has done this (added spac later in the year)before, why not assume the same this year. if when SPAC releases it's concerts and DMB isn't on there everyone should be able to come to terms with it

[greppson]

just my thoughts. i'm facing the facts and planning around it. you can keep believing whatever you want to believe, but i doubt they will announce any SPAC dates.

if they do, i certaily will be there.:)

And there is a gap in the tour sched. then.....hmmmmm :babe I am keeping my hopes up for SPAC in 04.

I could see maybe just the 4th but not the 5th as well. That would be four days in a row because they are in MA on the 6th and the 7th. I just don't see that one happening. Like I said could see the 4th but not back to back.

3rd and 4th can be done

i have never once complained about there being no spac, i could care less if they go there honestly. my whole reason for acting the way i do is because NOTHING IS SET IN STONE. and if you think i act like i own this place, you can't read. i simply state the facts.

yes one of the facts is that SPAC isnt listed on the tourdates, yadda yadda, i simply rebuttle with other facts.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

How is tailgating in Camden?It's awesome man. There's so many people that tailgate at the Camden shows. It's crazy.

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

Yeah three nights in a row would be....oh the gorge. :rolleyes: :monkeyThat was announced like yesterday fool. When the original dates were announced he supposively didn't want to do 3 nites in a row.

[mxz440fan]

and what the hell does that have to do with anything? ive seen em at spac every year since 2000 and im pretty mad about it....oh, but wait...i guess if i lived in albany i could be more upset :rolleyes:

[GoLdpHiShDMB]

who knows. maybe he realized he was screwing his fans with 2 nites at the gorge, and figured he'd hurt his voice just one weekend for the fans.

Screwing his fants with 2 nights at the Gorge? How in the world is that screwing them? At least he's playing there!

Furthermore, www.saratogaconcerts.com is still telling you to come back later. I just thought I would point that out for those too lazy to look.

I'm thinking they may have a 2 nighter July 2nd and 3rd. That's just what I'm hoping.

[unccrombie]

word is they normally release by the end of february, but i don't know how legit of a source it is

But its three nights in a row at one place. If they did 4th and 5th at SPAC and then went to MA it would be 4 in a row at 2 different places.

so what....just 2 different locations....they still go through the same motions...and spac is only about 4 hours away from MA...so its not that big of a distance traveled...i think it'd be harder on the crew than the band

[unccrombie]

6 in a row for D&F

[greppson]

2nd and 3rd at spac would make more sense.

i don't think dmb would play on the 4th, that is usually a crew party or something i think?

[unccrombie]

2nd and 3rd at spac would make more sense.

i don't think dmb would play on the 4th, that is usually a crew party or something i think?
i think you're right, don't they all go do something?

[greppson]

i think you're right, don't they all go do something?
i'm pretty sure that is what i have heard. it might not be their big crew party, but i know they all like to enjoy the day off.

so if anything, spac would have to fall july 1-3. but, i am still thinking that isn't gonna happen. i think if they are going to do that they would probably announce it before the ticketing period is over to allow people to change requests. (from a business standpoint it would be better to just announce it after the ticket period, but dmb is pretty good to their fans, i can't see them adding it after the fact)

[unccrombie]

we'll have to wait and see, with each day gone by, it worsens the chances. maybe it'll be a seperate series, who knows. i get a headache thinking about it

[greppson]

all in due time, i am sure... or next year at least.:lol

[unccrombie]

it's still 6 hours right? that's an option too

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

I was just making a statement because you flat out said "dave isnt going to play 4 nites in a row, not even 3." like he had told you his plans or something. Now if you would have said something to the effect of "They aren't scheduled for any 3 or 4 night stands." (you know, state the obvious because everyone can see the schedule)....that would be different. But you stated what you thought was a fact, as if you had information from the band that no one else had.

Thats why I made my comment, fool.

[mute423]

anyone hear from spac yet?

[JstMyLuck3]

I called SPAC administration today and asked when they would be announcing the summer concert series...all I could get out of them was that within the spring, concerts will be announced sporadically...the woman gave me the example that one could be announced two weeks from today and another in a month...there is no set date for all releases...I'm not sure if this helps at all, but I could not get much out of the woman on the phone. ::Keep your fingers crossed::

I was just watching tv and news channel 10(ABC) announced that SPAC has a huge announcement for a show this summer and "its so big" that they will be doing it live at 11


ill keep you all informed

Any follow-up to this? I've heard a rumor (and I emphasize rumor) that the powers that be were considering SPAC for the previously mentioned DMB Festival...so you can imagine how my mind started racing at the mention of "a huge announcement" coming from SPAC.

I would have all that too.

If this guy at the bridge is telling the truth I dont see why they wouldnt have released the date to the public. If Clear Channel is the reason behind it then why did this guy get it. Most of the shows that have been announced go on sale March 27th that is just over 3 months before the "SPAC shows." Most concerts go on sale to the public about 3 months before they happen, and a show this big would be annoucned that early. And then theres the Warehouse requesting. When would that happen? It just doesnt make sense that if they are supposed to be at SPAC and the dates are set then why wouldnt they be released yet? Clear Channel is a bitch but this just wouldnt make good business sense, if they are really behind this. Its nice to see all these optomistic people in here but to me I just dont see it. If it does happen I will be happy for you guys, you will get your show.

No no, we'll go during one of their stupid ballets and take some ballerinas hostage. We can produce a set-list in place of our list of demands. We'll leave the band with no choice but to play an energetic two nighter for the lives of the innocent!

[The J2H]

not that i'm trying to be a dick or anything, but why not just get over it. i know that obviously some of you won't be able to make other shows for whatever reason, but many of you will still be seeing the band this summer. i live just about an hour from Detroit and no one around here is dedicating an entire thread to bitching about it. sure, there was complaining in the CoPa thread, but we all got over it. you all should just be glad that they're touring at all.

that's just my two cents, and i know you all probably will bash me now, though.

If SPAC would come out and announce their dates, I think it would quiet us up quite a bit. However, there is still the mystery looming in the air as to whether or not the band will play there. This is a big deal to some people because SPAC is such a great venue to see a show. Not going there this year would really bum us out.

Furthermore, this is a message board. People in real life don't really care about tour dates, so this is where we can whine all we want about it.

i can understand where you're coming from. i've got a friend here that loves making the trip out to SPAC whenever he can. i didn't actaully know that they hadn't announced any dates, but i know a few venues around here don't have dates yet, although some individual artists have announced their tours. for what it's worth, i do hope everything works out for you all and you possibly will have some luck with a Series 5 :)

'Tis not a quarrel; 'tis a discussion!

Now you see why our panties are in a bunch. SPAC won't let any performers advertise dates at the venue until they themselves come out with the announcement. Either DMB is early, or SPAC is late. Either way, SPACs webpage mocks you with the words "Come back soon!". I still have faith, however. Most things people are saying point towards the gap between June 30th and July 6th for possible dates. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. SPAC holds a special place in my heart, as I saw one of my favorite shows there (7-29-02).

We don't mean to complain too much, but the wait for an answer is killing us!

Furthermore, I get to be tough in real life, as I'm a jaded, by the books cop, assigned to be mis-matched partners with a hot-headed, quick witted rookie. Sorry, my Nyquil is starting to kick in :)

I think it looks official. If it's a calender sitting around in an office, they don't need fancy letter heads, state seals and official theme music. It could very well be legit. But of course, as with most things on the internet, I can't believe it %100.

Honestly, I forget. Back when the "phoney" dates came out (funny how a lot of them turned out to be legit) my dad got all excited and booked a hotel somewhere in Saratoga. Him and my mom want to go to a show there with me and my girlfriend since I've been going to so many shows lately. He wants in on the action.

I should also mention that back when he was looking for a hotel, the one Hilton (I think) in Saratoga was booked solid for July 2nd. Coincidence??

Sting ends his European Tour 6.20.04 http://www.stingfan.de/tickets/ so it's possible he may start another US leg of his tour (though yet to be announced).

I still don't think anything is in stone since that was the only date I could find. The calendar looked to be a tentative one only for the reason that on 08.15 (or 12) it said Rush/Carlin. Makes me think that it was a possible date for Rush or (George?) Carlin.

Errr Opening Day for Saratoga is July 28th. The richest 6 weeks of racing. The trotters track is open but definately NOT as busy as the main track. The August show last year was right towards the end of the race season.
