Phoenix 2004 - Cricket Pavillion

[MinaretScreamin]

Just wanted to know who is going to Phoenix this year. I am most likely going by myself this year :( and want to maybe get together with some people for some pre-show festivities.

[eisnach41]

i'll be there

[newscane]

I'll probably be there. Heading west from FL to visit relatives in SD and Phoenix, and going to the shows in both places.

[Rob D]

i know someone who'll be there. hope this helps.

[Cordevil95]

I'm gonna be there!

[Cordevil95]

I hope this thread is an indication of people requesting tickets through the warehouse... if so I should be gettin some pretty sweet seats this year :D

[tunatime]

I'm putting a party together starting in albaq. possibly going all the way to the gorge. Im looking for some people to go and possibly rent a motorhome for the trip. Anyone interested post to this thread.

[Cordevil95]

Wow.. this thread is hoppin.. 4 people are going to phoenix... woohoo!

[RolandsThinny]

[Verzy]

I am going to Gorge and am starting to consider driving. Email me when you get some more details. jenmwest81@yahoo.com

Thanks to Rob D. I got some kick ass seats and will be there like every year. Who wants to do some day drinking before the show?

YAY!! Yeah Leanne is going with me and so are our friends Jacquelin & Jacob. There are more going but they haven't gotten their tix yet so I am not counting on them. Will you bring your guitar? I can't take the day off work because I am already taking 6 days off this summer for Gorge and Alpine.

Hmmm... i guess i could bring my guitar, i dunno. Can you take like a half day or somethin'?? But either way we all need to meet up before the show and throw back a few cold ones

[JanelleM]

OK guys I need your help (I also poste this in the ticket forum):

One of my best friends got tickets throught Ticketmaster for this show the day they went on sale...however she gave them her home address, which was different from her billing address. Apparently this caused her credit card not to process. Ticketmaster emailed her, but by the time she read her emails (three days later) they notified her they had assumed she had given up the tickets so they were resold She called me CRYING. I already have great seats this year and am hoping to track down some of the same for her. PLEASE let me know if you have extras that she can purchase. Again it's TWO seats, any price. Thank you!!!

I'm jealous! Who's Rob D? Did he give his WH tickets?

[JanelleM]

Rob D is my favorite person! He put in for me and got great ones because of his WH status. http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/showthread.php?t=99117

Alright bitches post your seats. Rob D hooked me up this year and I am sitting second row, section 100...right in the pit. Holy shit it's going to be CRAZY!!!I would go bonkers for those seats but then I dont think I would be able to feel my legs when Dave got on stage :rolleyes: . I haven't bought my Tix yet. I am praying I can get good seats like I did a few years ago when I waited.

[chels012002]

I forgot too. I will hopefully be working by then so I wont be able to go till like 5:30 but I know a bartender at Cricket, I have known him for 2 years, and he says it is hard for them to get tickets to the high profile shows like Dave for family and friends.

[JanelleM]

:lol I hadn't thought about that but I am now afraid I might die and bot get to enjoy the show...thanks! ;) Nahhh I am sure I will be having too much fun to be like that. I also have to work so I won't be getting there until like 5:00 if I leave early but I am not worried. Where in AZ do you live?

[Azdmb#41]

I'm taking the whole day off!

[Cordevil95]

I'm taking the whole day off!

So am I! The next day too :D

OK I need to see anyone can help:

I have tickets that someone else requested for me through the WH, but they are being will called and the person whose name they are under lives in North Carolina so obviosly they won't be able to pick them up for me. But the WH is willing to transfer the tickets to another WH member who DOESN'T already have their own WH tix for his show. Is anyone going or have a friend who is going that would be willing to have these tix transferred into their name and we can then meet up at the show and pick them up? The tix are already paid for so there are no issues there and I will make sure to buy you some beers :) PLEASE let me know and I will be forever grateful!

Ok I am in section 205 row EE what are we going to do?

[phunky420]

I will also be going to the phoenix show. I can't wait!!!

However, i will be sitting in lawn this year for a number of reasons...

I have a huge group of friends going so we all want to be together...
I forgot to request my Warehouse tickets..>>DOH. (I probably wasn't going to use them anyway..but i could of sold them :()
I decided to give other warehouse members a chance to get great tickets..since i've had awsome seats the last two years :)

Hope to see you folks in the parking lot...I'll have a beer for ya.

[phunky420]

BTW...Anyone see the phoenix show last year?
With the Stone opener? Awsome....
Cortez the Killer also :)

What will we be treated to this year?

I'm hoping for say goodbye....never seen it live.

[chels012002]

yeah for some reason we never get a truly good opening act...
ok wait I mean we for some reason get an opening act called the red west and I have never heard of them yet just before out tour date is someone kick ass, and right after our tour date is someone else kick ass:BANG

Hell yeah it was a great show! It was like 115 degrees and my shins were sweating, but it was my favorite concert to date :thumbsup

EVERYONE!!! READ MY SIGNATURE!!!! PLEASE :(

[MinaretScreamin]

ok....i want to start making plans for an "antsmarching meet and greet" in the parking lot at cricket. maybe all of us ants can meet before the show and meet and have some beers and whatever else we feel like. if you are interested you can email me at estinger@cox.net to get something going. it would be really cool to hang out before the show and start off the night right!

[chels012002]

I am on my way to e-mail you I am sweet_desire81@msn.com I will put ANTS in the mssg line.

[mray10]

Sec 202 row EE

That's awesome, I'm also in 202 EE. What seats do you have? I'll be in seat 37. Big rows out there at Cricket.

I was going to go to this show with a friend of mine, but ended up she's going with a family member. I don't know if I'll be hooking up with them that night or not. Maybe depends on where they're sitting. Anyway. I'm definitely down for a pre-show get together. I'm not planning on taking the day off, but I should still be at the venue by 5 or 5:30.

We'll have to shore up some plans as the date draws closer.

PS
Any Phoenix residents going out to the Cali shows? I really want to go out to the shows in LA and maybe even San Diego, depending on my work situation. It'd be nice to have some people to hang out with out there.

[JanelleM]

MATT!!! Thank you so much. Thanks to him I will be sitting at second row with no problems this year YAY!!!!

[chels012002]

Matt will you be my hero too?

[phunky420]

Hell yeah it was a great show! It was like 115 degrees and my shins were sweating, but it was my favorite concert to date :thumbsup

The encore was the best when the whole crowd was going nuts and bashing on the seats....good stuff ;)

[mray10]

You know, I might be able to pencil you in. Are there any phone booths near your house? This gig is a lot tougher since those started disappearing.

:rolleyes:

[JanelleM]

:lol Cute. Seriously though thanks for everything and you'll be hearing from me soon!

So what songs are people hoping for this year??

[chels012002]

:rolleyes:I dont think so, there is a gas station bathroom and I know the attendant. :p

[chels012002]

Janelle I am dying to hear Crush live, prolly fat chance but a girl can hope right?

[mray10]

I dont think so, there is a gas station bathroom and I know the attendant. :p

:lol
That's a story I both do and don't want to hear ...

Anyway, Crush isn't out of the question, we did get it here in Phoenix last year.

I'm hoping for a big comeback this year for Say Goodbye. Definitely would like to hear that one at Cricket.

So I'm intensely bored at work today and I just completed dream setlists for the 5 shows that I (might be) attending. I thoiught back to how unique last year's Phoenix setlist was and how well it fit with the hot hot evening. Since chances are it will be hot again this year, I went with another setlist full of slower songs. More sexy slow songs, though. Lover Lay Down, rush, Say Bye. Don't ask me why, I just think it would be awesome to have a show that was basically a long expression of lust. ;)

[JanelleM]

Yeah Crush was played last year and it was awesome. I am hoping for new stuff first and foremost! But also pulling for Say Goodbye, I'll Back You Up (I can dream can't I?), Tripping Billies, Lie in Our Graves...some new covers would also be great.

[chels012002]

I had tix to last year but cause I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and it was so hot I was forbidden to go MAN THIS SUCKS

[JanelleM]

Top :) Cannot wait...

[mray10]

It would be nice to have Lie In Our Graves back this summer. Though without Butch's solo. I love Butch, but I do not support his solos.
Lover Lay Down needs to make a comeback as well. I was looking at the setlist scan at DMBAlmanac for the Phoenix 2002 show and realized that they replaced Lover Lay Down and Seek Up (which were on the setlist) with Fool to Think and The Stone. Ouch. Why you gotta bend Phoenix over like that Dave?

[chels012002]

damn dave dont hurt us in Phoenix we only wanna have a good time :multi

[chels012002]

So have we started a plan? I know I have time to think about it but I like to make plans and have them set so I know what to expect. God no wonder I don't travel with the band to see shows it would drive me crazy.

[mray10]

Chelsie, I realized today that the reason I was having trouble planning my trip out to LA to see the Crason shows is because that's still over 2 months away. I only made plans to fly to Colo. for the 4th of July this past weekend. So, that's the other side of the coin for ya. :)

[chels012002]

I am not a good last min planner I am a good last min packer but I cant seem to make plans on the fly lol. Where at in Colorado are you going?

[mray10]

Well, I was going to fly to Denver (still home, though I haven't lived there for 6 years) and catch Blues Traveler at red Rocks, but plans changed again last night and now I'm going to Telluride.

The drive up to there from Phoenix is one of the most boring I've ever taken (once you're past Flagstaff anyway) but it's worth it once you're there.

[JanelleM]

Tour starts tonight all!! And it was fucking scorching today here the PHX. I am going to NY next weekend...needed to get out of here for a bit. Wish me luck.

[chels012002]

Good luck jen, Matt I lived the winter of 2002-2003 in Denver cold. I am on my way to San Diego tomorrow morning till next thursday time for some nice and constant cool weather. Any one want anything? No ok I guess not.

[mray10]

Have fun Jen, as you well know ... "New York City is greatest damn city in the whole damn" er, something

Chelsie, I miss the Denver "cold." Are you an AZ native? My fiancee is and we tend to bicker about whether cold or hot temps are more tolerable. Of ourse, to her, 70 degrees is "cold." San Diego is great, though. I took many a road trip there when I was in college (as well as thelast two years to see dmB at Coors), the best of which was Spring Break my senior year when 10 of us rented a beach house at Mission Beach and spent the entire week ... well, sinfully. Ah, college.

Best of lucky to y'all and be safe on the road and in the air.

[chels012002]

Matt I am almost an AZ native. I was born in Utah and moved here when I was 4 and I am now 23 so minus the 6 months I lived in Denver I have lived here for 18 1/2 years and would take Denver over Phoenix anyday.

add in: I dont tell many people where I was born but I have lived in Phoenix so long its like I am a native. I might as well be!! lol

[MinaretScreamin]

ok....so now that i have listened to the new songs, i am getting really excited for this years show in phoenix. we should start the beginning phases of planning our meet up before the show. i will be coming up from tucson and spending the night in a hotel close to the pavillion. unfortunatley i am going solo this year and think it would be really cool to party before hand. let me know what your ideas are for this whole thing and we will get this shit rollin'.

eli

[mray10]

Eli, I too get more excited every day. Where are your seats?

I would rather live in Denver than Phoenix, as well. However, I'd arther be here with my fiancee than there without her. So, that's my excuse.

eliSo what is your plan? I mean did you wanna meet at the hotel or are we taligating? whats the plan? I think tailgating would be a bit hot but once we start drinking it wont bother us.

Only the tough survive a Phoenix DMB show. Its probably one of the hardest places to see a concert. I have no idea why DMB decides to play there during the summer. Maybe a special trip during winter is in order?

I fully expected them to play the new Glendale Arena this year to get out of the heat ... but not so much. Which is OK, hot as it can be, dmB is an outdoor band. Plus, we now have the possibility of having a monsoon roll in that night. And that would kick ass.

[chels012002]

DMB likes Cricket cause of the acoustics they like outdoor arenas you wont get as good a show at Glendale as you will at cricket.

[phunky420]

I think the acoustics are great at cricket. I actually like the acoustics better at cricket than the Gorge! I think a lot of the sound is lost in the canyon.

[chels012002]

I am with you phunky but my point stands true the band likes Cricket cause of the sound plus I think they can cram a ton of people in the venue offer lawn seats and still be consitered sold out!

[mray10]

I think the acoustics are great at cricket. I actually like the acoustics better at cricket than the Gorge! I think a lot of the sound is lost in the canyon.

The sound is pretty good out at Desert Sky (remember the old days?). I've never been to Gorge, but it's better in Phoenix than at Coors out in san Diego, although Coors is a better venue overall ... IMO. And, of course, I grew up going to concerts at Red Rocks and there's just nowhere like that place in terms of atmosphere, sound, or anything.

Eli, I believe I'm also in Section 202, but I can't remember what row number. I may have posted it somewhere in this thread but I'm too lazy to look.

[javadrumboy]

I'm going for the 3rd straight year. I'm really looking forward to it. The band plays great shows here. Whether it was the monsoon/dust storm show of 99, the unbelievable #41 jam with soulive in 01, Dave breaking out Wynona for the first time in forever in 02, and the incredible show last year with Warren Haynes & Cortez, it's always enjoyable. But yes, last year was a killer. At least late August will be cooler than late July. I look forward to seeing some Ants there! (I'll be on the lawn - which I'm ok with. i'm going some friends). -jesse

[mray10]

Still hoping for a monsoon storm that night ... but then I don't have lawn tix.

[phunky420]

This is actually the first year i'm going to be on the lawn. I have a bunch of people going and i didn't want to be a snob with my warehouse tickets :)

So i'll just get all sweaty and stinky with all the other fools...LOL

Here are the songs i'm wishing for:

Halloween
Minarets
Proudest Monkey
Dreaming Tree
Thing(hmm?)
LIOG
Two Step
Tripp BIlls
Say Goodbye
Loving Wings
Jimi Thing

Hmm...that looks like a pretty good set, maybe a little short but i would take it :)

[chels012002]

Lets hope for maybe light showers that day, a cloudy over cast thru the late afternoon and light winds till the sun goes down.

[phunky420]

Its going to be overcast and windy :)

That will be nice. Especially when they bust out with watchtower....

[chels012002]

that would kick ass!!

[mray10]

Off the top of my head, here's a nice setlist for a rainy, monsoon night in Phoenix:

So Much to Say >
Anyone Seen the Bridge? >
Pantala Naga Pampa >
Rapunzel
Granny
Stay
Pig
Joy Ride
Crush
(Some Do, Some Don't) Recently (Pretty, Pretty Girl, Take Me to the River)
Hello Again
(Lap Steel) Grace Is Gone (Hoedown)
Lover Lay Down
#41 (Everyday) >
(#36) Everyday (#36) >
Thing/Hmm?
Crazy-Easy
Two Step
--
(Drums) Say Goodbye
(Nature) Tripping Billies

The songs I really want to hear this year are:
Seek Up, Say Goodbye, the 5 new ones, Lover, Jimi (with scat), Nancies, and BOWA.

Obviously they're not all on that list (though in retorspect a Rapunzel > BOWA opener would also work for me) but I'm going to see at least one night in Carson and the 9/12 show in San Fran (if it happens), so I'd be as happy as a pig in you-know-what to get the set above ...

[JanelleM]

Monsoon storm during Pig would floor me. Either way I am so stoked for this show. We always get a good one and I am looking forward to seeing what they bust out this year.

You would not see me complaining with that setlist.

However, you better throw in "I Did It" or "Space Between" to make it more realistic :)

Aug....too far away. I guess John Mayer will have to hold me off till then. I have to keep myself from comparing DMB and John Mayer. They are different and thats OK. Right?

LOL

[chels012002]

I have to keep myself from comparing DMB and John Mayer. They are different and thats OK. Right?

LOLYeah they are different John is just slightly infulenced by DMB. There are many differences.

[phunky420]

John Mayer is really great on the guitar but some of his lyrics are lame.
Dave is OK on the guitar but MOST of his lyrics are awsome....

But, this is not a john mayer and Dave thread...THIS IS A PHOENIX THREAD!!!

Whoo Hoo can't wait.....its sad that i'm this pumped up and i still have to wait 1 month....

[chels012002]

A month is a long fuckin time to wait for DMB

[phunky420]

Hmm.....still a month away?

I'm going to see the Cure next month also...should be kinda cool.

Hmm.....Why o why must i like this band soo much :(

Ok....1 song you must see in Phoenix?

For me its going to be:
Seek Up

They are going to open phoenix with it...LOL

[mray10]

A month away (more than a month actually ...), but what a lovely time it's going to be once it's here. My birthday on the 23rd, DMB at Cricket the 24th, DMB with BEP and Ben in LA on th 28th, and Golden Gate Park on 9/12. Damn I can't wait.

Just 1 song I must see? Well, if I have to pick 1 I'd say Crazy-Easy, it's my favorite of the new ones. But it's pretty likely it will be played. A bit less likely, but something I really want to hear is "Thing/Hmm?"
And if I got to three shows and don't get to see Jimi with the scat I'm going to be very unhappy.

[javadrumboy]

Shit! You know what I just realized? 8/24 is my first night of Geology. I'm gonna have to e-mail my teacher and let him know I can't be there the first day of class. You think he'll understand?

[chels012002]

tell him you have plans that CANT be broken! lol maybe he will understand!

[phunky420]

Tell him you have to see your granny :)

[javadrumboy]

At PVCC, you can get dropped for missing the first class. I don't care what I have to do, I'm going to that concert! Maybe I'll switch classes.

[chels012002]

There has gotta be something you can do to make it work. Maybe go talk to a counselor and let them know you have a wedding or something. Those are easy to fake up on the Computer and you have a month to get cracking :lol :p

[mray10]

Tell him you have to see your granny :)

:lol :thumbsup

Usually teachers will be lenient about that if you contact them. The dropping after the first missed class policy is just to weed out those who don't intend on taking the class and moving in people who do want to take it. If you email the prof I'm sure he or she will let you slide. Offer to come in early to pick up a syllabus or something and you're golden.

My friend who I'm going to the show with has classes that start that day at Phoenix College (and I might, too, if I register for this writing workshop I want to take), but what the hell.

EDIT: BTW, do you have a full size version of your avatar? It looks kick ass.

[phunky420]

You will blow your semester if you miss DMB for a class.

[chels012002]

lol this is interesting

[phunky420]

Do you guys think the heat affects DMB adversely or positively?

Its seems that DMB really rocks at phoenix, even with the heat. However, i have never been to a east coast show so i'm a little closed off.....

[chels012002]

I think it is a positive affect just cause the better they do the harder it is for the heat to get to them you know. I know there are huge fans up on stage so it should slightly minimize our heat to them. I really think if they hated the weather here they would have moved the venue to Glendale or AWA.
I also think, and this is funny, that if the D-backs keep loosing the way they are whom ever is in charge of programming at BOB (chase) will start letting shows be put on there to collect extra money. :lol

Any opinions?:confused:

I don't know that the heat affects how they play. But I think it definitely influenced last year's set list. That set last year was VERY mellow and full of chill song. The only really fast-paced rocking song they played until SM2S > Rapunzel was Help Myself.
And I thought that was perfect since it was such a hot hot night. It ended up being a really unique show that was very powerful at the end because the energy had been building all night.

As for concerts at the BOB ... maybe, but it's unlikely you could sell enough tickets to really make that a feasible investment for the owners. Most shows at Desert Sky or the arenas don't sell out, so ...

[chels012002]

Cricket is kinda hard to fill out with all the lawn seats though

[phunky420]

Cricket is kinda hard to fill out with all the lawn seats though
Wasn't the show sold out last year? It seemed like the crowd just keep going and going...when i was looking back.

Best of whats around will be played in phoenix......

hmmm...still can't wait till the show. I feel like this guy :freak . Too obsessed with DMB..I need a break :)

[phunky420]

Well i'm going to check out John Mayer tomarrow. Maybe he will cover a DMB song....LOL. I have mixed feelings about him trying to do that.

[Stuntcheeks]

Damn, I still need to get my tickets. :)

[mray10]

it's a good thing the Phoenix show is the first one I'm going to this year, otherwise I wouldn't care about it at all anymore. Now, I have a nice system. I can be excited about Phoenix because it's first, I can be excited about LA for Black Eyed Peas and Ben Harper and I can bust a nut over the thought of Golden Gate because ... well, I'm just that excited

[JanelleM]

Yeah it it possible to be on DMB overload?? I mean not in a bad way, but in an it consumes you way? I started out with the intention of going to 6 shows Alpine/Phoenix/Gorge. Decided to take a trip to NYC instead of going to Alpine, then decided to do Alpine still and skip Gorge. Now Alpine is two weeks away and I had an unexpected finance problem and can't go. Now this SF show which I would love to see. Ughh seems searching for flights and thinking of the next way to see DMB has become a part time job.

[mray10]

I just keep setting my standards higher every year. I saw one show in both 95 and 96. Then in 97 I saw Dave and Tim and both nights at red Rocks. In 98 I saw both nights at red Rocks. In 99 I saw Dave and Tim in Phoenix and the band at Mile High. The bad years were 00 and 01 when I only saw them once each summer. It was awful to only see one show when I had gotten used to 2-3. So in 2002 I went to Phoenix and Chula Vista. Did the same thing last year. This year I figured I'd keep it the same and go to Phoenix and one of the LA shows. But now I'm going to Frsico, too, so I'm setting a new standard.

Next year? I'm all about the Gorge, baby.

[JanelleM]

Next year Gorge for me too...I am so bummed I couldn't pull it off this year but I am upgrading this year and next:

2001-DMB PHX
2002-DMB PHX
2003-DMB PHX
2004-D+F LA/DMB PHX (hopefully SF too since I had to bag Alpine :( )

[chels012002]

I want this time to go faster!

[newscane]

my history:

2000: DC
2001: Sunrise
2002: WPB (1), Tampa/Atlanta on winter
2003: D&T at Davidson, DMB at SPAC (2), Atlanta. Considered CP
2004: SPAC (1), Tampa, Phoenix, San Diego. Considered Gorge, couldn't pull that off. Now considering (sorta) SF. Thankfully my flight to SD/Phoenix is free on miles, but I'd probably have to pay for SF. The bigger issue is vacation time...

[mray10]

34 days and counting.

(38 days till Carson for me, and 53 days until Golden Gate)

Let's see, what else can I count down?

33 days until my birthday. 12 days until my friend Tony is back in Phoenix. 13 days until Erin is back. 12 days until my fiancee goes back to work. And 102 days until Halloween.

[chels012002]

lalala I am passing the time away! hehehe

[mray10]

God I hope Seek Up gets a regular spot in the setlists after tonight. More likely it'll only pop up once or twice more, but I'm hoping ...

[chels012002]

Well Crush is making a big spalsh. I hope they keep it in since it is a good jam song. You know what that means ;)

[phunky420]

Hmm....The setlist tonight looks the same as the others....NOt to bring up the horrid topic but is anyone a little concered as to what they will play in Phoenix?

In all honesty i want to see them soo bad that i don't really care...too much :)

If they don't play "I Did It" it will be an awsome show. Hope i didn't jinx us ;(

[chels012002]

as long as I hear CRUSH my night will be made. If you can't tell I am very obsessed with the song! lol so now 30 days woo hoo!!!

[phunky420]

Crush is a great song. Wouldn't mind hearing that :)
I'll light a prayer candle for ya. hehe

BTW. We should not get "I did it" in phoenix because i believe they played it last year.

I would like to see Last Stop. Nice stuff. Its funny..but there really isn't that many hardcore Phoenix fans. This thread is kinda weak compared to the other cities :(

I guess I'll just start posting complete nonsense to get this thread a little larger :)

[RyienKu]

Last year was my first show. I'm heading down this year with my girlfriend who will be visiting from Michigan.

I'm hoping for an awesome show, this will be her first I believe. It sucks a bit that I got seats that are worse than last year's, but that's how it goes.

Can't wait for DMB and for her to come on down here to Arizona!

[mray10]

I Did It was played in Phoenix in 2002, but not last year.

I'm not that worried about the "similar" sets they've been playing. Partly, this is because I realized last year that the only reason I care about setlist variation is because I look at every setlist and d/l every show. It's far more important to me that I actually see a good show. And here's what I've noticed ... Beginning of 2003 had all kinds of songs being played, lots of rare songs and good variation ... but the shows weren't really that great. Toward the end of the year the setlists got quite a lot more predictable, many of the rare songs the band had been playing disappeared but ... the shows in August and September last year were as good as any the band has ever played. And I think that's true this year, as well. They aren't playing everything, but they're playing so well that it doesn't matter.

The other thing is that we're lucky this year and we're getting them toward the end of the tour, so pretty much anything they've played up until then we have a chance of hearing.

[JanelleM]

Alpine is back on for me so my first show is in 12 days :thumbsup. Add PHX and SF onto that and I have a nice little summer.

Hoping to hear BOWA or LIOG @ PHX.

[mray10]

Yeah, I've had a little LIOG resurrection the past few days ... definitely want to hear that one at some of my shows this summer. Phoenix would be a real good place to hear it.

BOWA opener in Golden Gate Park? Sounds good to me.

But the song I want to hear most in Phoenix is Good Good Time. Preferably without Rhyme before it. I'd also be down with Everyday - haven't heard that one in several years.

[chels012002]

I can post alot of nonsense in here too! I am good about talking about nothing and I can go on for ever!!!

[Stuntcheeks]

Just got tickets. yay.

I love this community.

[Stuntcheeks]

I need one more post to catch up to 'mray10.'

There. That's better.

[mray10]

Ha. I'm ahead again.

[JanelleM]

What a great summer this is turning into. I know Matt and I are going to SF...is anyone else??

[mray10]

Probably 48,998 other people or so ... but I don't know how many from Phoenix.

Yeah, I'm a smartass. So, you're flying to SF now? What hotel are you staying at?

[JanelleM]

Yeah flying is easier. We are staying at the Best Western Miyako Inn...one mile from GGP :) Hey look for an email from me soon RE: WH Phx tix...I guess they escort WH will call people into the venue so we have to do something about that...

[mray10]

Man that Best Western is gonna be like a groupie hotel from the 70s that weekend. Almost Famous, anyone? Might have to make my reservations there just to be a part of the party.

As for tickets, worst case scenario I can give my ticket to you or your sister and you can get in that way and then we'll meet once inside and trade so we can be in the proper spots. But we'll see how it works. (Watches for e-mail.)

Yeah I am thinkig you give your ticket to my sister and she goes in with you. The we meet up inside the gate, go to buy beer, and swap tix :) But yeah we'll talk more about it.

I know just looked on the SF thread and a bunch of us are staying there. We have Anna (peachy34) Heather (Trainer) Sal (stunnersal) Evan (Bean) Jason (greppson) me, my sister (Maybe) and Heather's friend. It should be fun. We hope we have one of those connecting rooms. Are you staying with Erin??

[mray10]

Yeah, it's still undecided if we're going to stay with her aunt (in redwood City) or get a hotel somewhere. Probably we'll get a hotel so we can do something in the city Saturday night and be close on Sunday. But no final decisions yet.

[JanelleM]

Matty you have mail :)

[mray10]

So these monsoon storms have been nice the past couple of weeks ... hoping that sticks around for a few more weeksn and we get a nice rain shower on the 24th

[chels012002]

yeah woo hoo 3 weeks and what 5 days?

[chels012002]

Oh and I wanna go to San Fran too :(

[mray10]

Oh and I wanna go to San Fran too :(

Do it! Do it!

[JanelleM]

9 days until Alpine
26 until PHX
45 days until San Francisco

[chels012002]

I cant cause 1 I dont have a job and 2 I have my baby to think of.

Agreed. I havn't been disapointed at a phoenix show...yet. My only complaint is that the shows arn't longer. But ehh...

I think a BOWA or LIOG would be awsome. Well..we know that the four new songs will get played....thats for sure ;)

We will be lucky to get a debut song in phoenix. Hope it happens but not holding my breath.

Its very soon....very soon...SPOON!!!

hmmm a little spoon would be nice.

Hmm...What you are closer last year was pretty neat. I was suprised by it...kinda blew me away. Even though its a Everyday song :(

[mray10]

I hated the What You Are closer and am glad it's absent. I actually sort of like What You Are as a song, certainly better than a lot of Everyday tunes, but I just hated it in the closer spot.

[chels012002]

blah blah blah, see I am not having fun now cause I don't know what you are talking about:BANG

[javadrumboy]

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I mainly post over at Ami. I ended up switching classes 'cause the teacher never emailed me back. I'd rather have a Thursday night history class than a Tue/Thu Geology class anyway. :D

But anyways, I'm really looking forward to this show too! We definetely deserve a Seek Up since they jipped us out of it in 02. (They played the Stone instead). At least I have this week's Cincinnati show to hold me over til the 24th. We'll be up there with family this week.

And by the way, I've got all the DMB Phoenix shows if anybody's interested in a B&P or something. The only 2 I don't have are the 2 that don't exist. (12.12.94 & 8.3.95) I've even got the 11.19.96 America West Arena show which is really rare. I think I'm only the 2nd person in the trading community that has this on CD. Email me if anyone's interested. -jesse javadrumboy@hotmail.com

[chels012002]

wb Java. We have missed you. We do need more support cause our thread is kinda sad.

Me and my Bro will there. Staying at the marriott in downtown.

[newscane]

wb Java. We have missed you. We do need more support cause our thread is kinda sad.
At least the Cricket thread's been around a while. I finally started a San Diego thread about a week ago... nobody else had!

[mray10]

Yeah, but if I lived in San Diego I wouldn't be at home posting to a message board, either.

[newscane]

Yeah, but if I lived in San Diego I wouldn't be at home posting to a message board, either.
Good point. I'm not in San Diego, though. Just going there (and Phoenix) for the show, from Florida.

[chels012002]

Yeah, but if I lived in San Diego I wouldn't be at home posting to a message board, either. My man is from San Diego and he was always out golfing so yeah I am with ya.

[SIU SALUKI FAN]

i'll be there

[mray10]

3 weeks, yo.

[JanelleM]

:) Three weeks :thumbsup But my first show of the summer is in 4 days!!

[mray10]

Time to get this back on top.

I'm wondering if the setlists after the break will be significantly different than they have been. History seems to indicate that things change up a little after even a brief hiatus. The second half of 2003, for example, was totally different. I'm wondering if they'll stop playing all the news songs every night. It makes sense to not play them all if you have a 2 night stand (a la West Palm) but maybe they'll lay off them. Or maybe they'll bust out something unheard as yet.

[chels012002]

I just want it to be totally awesome at this point I dont care what is played. I just want to have a damn good time and relax.

[phunky420]

I think after the break they will continue to play the new songs, or come out with newnew songs :)

I would assume some more debuts will show up. Probably a Spoon, Dreaming Tree, Minarets, and maybe even Halloween...

[chels012002]

bump bump bump

[mray10]

Now there's hope for hearing Typical Situation. That would be enjoyable.

[chels012002]

I like that song. so yeah rock on.

[phunky420]

HEY GUYS!!!

ONLY 2 WEEKS!!!

HAHAHAHAH!!!!

I'm actually going to the NM show before the phoenix one ;) So...i'll be able to give you all a little preview.

[chellek23]

Hey all!

I am seriously thinking about catching the Phoenix show. I live in MI but have family in AZ... So the question is... How do you all rate the venue? I've been to the Palace in Detroit (mediocre), Alpine Valley, Deer Creek, and Riverbend. I assume it's an indoor venue... but what else can you tell me about it? Bad seats? Sections I should avoid if I manage to get tickets? That kind of stuff. Any info would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks,
Michelle

Cricket Pavilion is outdoors. Meaning it will be incredibly hot... I'm flying west from FL to attend the show (and visit relatives). I've been to Phoenix once, and it was hot... and I'm from FL! As far as the venue, I know DMB had a great show there in 2002... but specifics, not sure.

[chellek23]

Thanks for the info! :)

Hmm, outdoors... I'm not sure that my low tolerance for high temperatures will be able to take that (and please NO DRY HEAT COMMENTS!LOL)! Otoh... it is DMB... Well, as long as I can get pavillion seats I'm sure it will be fine. I still haven't made up my mind about it though. I know I'm going to go to AZ sometime in the next couple of weeks but am not sure of the timing... Hopefully things can work out.

Anyway, thanks again and I'd appreciate anymore info ppl may have! :)

Once the sun goes down and the buds star going its all good. YOu almost don't even notice the heat. You just dance your ass off and have a good time.

It'll be hot to anyone not used to the insanity we call summer here in Phoenix, but if you're under the pavilion for the roof it's fine. And all the better once the sun goes down. As a venue it's ... pretty good. Probably a better than average amphitheater, but it's nothing special in the vein of Alpine. Good sounds, had a great show there in 1999 and another very unique setlist last year. Other years were always OK if not great. That's my opinion anyway. You should definitely make the trip. It'll be a party.

[chels012002]

TWO WEEKS I AM DYING!!! I want this time to go so fast! But on the onter hand the faster it goes the faster I loose someone I care about cause he is going back to San Diego in September. Wow a double edged sword for me huh?

[chellek23]

Well, it looks like I'll be down there the week of the show, now I just have to make sure I have someone to accompany me! lol

Thanks all for the info, it's greatly appreciated. :)

[TheSailor]

does anyone who has already been to the cricket pavillion know if they rent lawn chairs durring dave shows?

[phunky420]

Yes they do rent lawn chairs. However, why would you need these? You will be up and dancing? RIGHT??

[JanelleM]

After Alpine I am so incredibly stoked for Phoenix. The band sounds incredible this year and they are doing something new for each show. Second row baby!

[mray10]

Easy to say when you saw friggin' Superfreak, isn't it? And didn't I tell you you were gonna get beat if they played Lover Lay Down? Damn I miss that song.

[JanelleM]

:lol I forgot I was promised a beating...;) LLD was so awesome it's worth it. I had never heard it live and it blew my mind. So did Stay, Jimi Thing, Seek Up, Super Freak, I'll Back You Up, Typical Situation, Tripping Billies. They did a crazy Bowie outro on one of the songs night one but I can't remember which I swear!! Sal can back me up on this...

[phunky420]

They did a Phish Bowie outro?

[chellek23]

Hi, Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in again... At the Riverbend show Dave did the Bowie/Lil Jon outro on Too Much. It's frickin awesome!

And looks like it's all set for the Phoenix show for me! I've gotten a couple contacts on tickets and am in the process of buying them! Can't wait to see the band again!! Wooohoo!! :D

Btw, I'll offer up an audio B&P of Riverbend for y'all. PM if you're interested. :)

EDIT: Oh and the Bowie outro was "Angel" can't remeber the actual title at the moment... :o

[mray10]

They did a Phish Bowie outro?

Probably talking about the ever ass-kicking "Golden Years" outro on "Too Much."

As for you, Jen, everyone needs a chance to hear Lover Lay Down at least once in their life ... and all the better if you're with your lover at the time. ;) I have actually heard it twice, but not since 1997. One of those songs that I've heard, but feel like I haven't since it's been so long. Like IBYU which I saw once (1996), and TypSit (not since 1998). I hope those treats stay around until Phoenix, at least.

[chels012002]

Ok people we need to get more posts. God I wish more AZ people came in here! Anywho so what is going to be the plan for Phoenix?

[mray10]

The plan involves beer.

[chels012002]

The plan involves beer. lol ok matt I got that:lol But are we going to try tailgaiting? Do you think there will be issues at cricket? I just want to know since we are a week and a half away and so I can tell my friend whom I am going with.

[mray10]

lol ok matt I got that:lol But are we going to try tailgaiting? Do you think there will be issues at cricket? I just want to know since we are a week and a half away and so I can tell my friend whom I am going with.

Unfortunately, I gave you all the information I have at this time. I don't know when I'll be leaving work or when I'm going to met Jen and her sister or anything. I'm going to leave it all up to them because I am lazy. :thumbsup

I've never actually parked in the lot at Cricket so I know nothing of the tailgating situation. Anyone?

[JanelleM]

Damn you and your laziness. Well you tell me what time you can leave work and we will either meet at the venue or do a little pre-gaming at a bar.

[phunky420]

Mmmm....Beer. Ya that sounds like a plan. I like beer and Dave Mathews band. I think i shall attend this concert event.

Ok. Parking lot is pretty standard. Nothing crazy like phish but still usually good people. Just make sure you put your beer in a plastic cup! The cops will bust you if you don't.

I'm probably going early so i can check out the sound check. Expect it to be hot...i mean really hot.

What do you guys do to meet up?

[phunky420]

Here are the 3 songs i want played in phoenix:
Obviously the 4 new songs are going to be played. Can't wait for Sugar Will :)

1. Seek Up (This will open the show)
2. Halloween (Encore)
3. You Never Know (mid set treat)

If these are played I will be splitting open and melting.....

[TheSailor]

Yes they do rent lawn chairs. However, why would you need these? You will be up and dancing? RIGHT??
yes, but i plan on getting there early, and I dont want to sit on the ground for hours... not fun.

[chels012002]

I've never actually parked in the lot at Cricket so I know nothing of the tailgating situation. Anyone?Men damn it!!! You can't live with em and you can't have sex without em! lol

[JanelleM]

I have never sat at a show...is that weird? Tailgating at Phoenix is quite lame to be honest. There will be some spots set up with cool people, but it's a commuter show and most people are heading to the show from bars or work and heading home or back to the bars after the show.

Songs I want to here:

Best of What's Around
Lie In Our Graves
You Never Know would be a nice surprise, but I am sure not :(

[mray10]

I've sat at some shows (some DMB and some not) when I'm out on the lawn. That can be kind of a fun way to listen to a chill song.

There are many songs I want to hear, but I'd say these are the 'likely' songs that I really want:

Lie In Our Graves
Everyday

Less likely:

Lover Lay Down
Seek Up

Pinch me, I'm dreaming:

Say Goodbye

[JanelleM]

Matt I saw 3 of those songs at Alpine ;)

[MinaretScreamin]

hi all.....it's been a while since i've been in here and was wondering what you all were doing before the show. i am going solo this year and would like to meet some of you. send me an email @ estinger@cox.net and maybe we can set up a meet. i'll buy the beer.

[chellek23]

Hey all!

It looks like I'm officially going! I finally made contact with someone who has an extra pair. I thought, yeah, my search is done. No WAAAY will the rest of my family want to go (my step-Mom, step-brother, and his g/f) but what happens? An hour after I mostly 'secure' the ticket exchange my Dad calls me, "Well it looks like we'd all like to go!" Ahh! That means I now have to find THREE more tickets! Back to cruising the message boards and pestering ppl with my requests. LOL

Btw, if anyone has extra pavillion tickets and would like to promote mixed family unity shoot me an email or IM. :D

Who did you sleep with to get those setlists anyway?

I kid, I kid. ;)

[JanelleM]

:lol Well I didn't think the person I slept with was in charge of setlists, maybe it was an added bonus ;) Does anyone know of any good bars by the venue? I hate the west side and try to stay away excpet for show time...

Why don't you just buy them off ticketmaster? The show is not sold out.

I just bring a blanket to the show. That way, if i'm too drunk...i can lay down :)

It's bad enough that they've all decided to go with me, I don't think I could stand the complaining and disapproving looks from my Dad as someone passed a doobie, made out in front of us, or lord knows what else... Or the bitching from my stepmother about how unruly these young kids are, etc. Please don't hold my family against me ppl! I love them but geeze...

Besides I have managed to secure enough pavillion tickets for all! It was a busy day emailing and checking all the sites, but I've managed to find a total of 5 tickets and can now rest easy. :D

See y'all in a week!! woohoo! :multi

[mray10]

One week yo.

[Azdmb#41]

Does anybody know how strict the security as criket cause me and a bunch of friends might tailgate? I'm thinking if we keep our beers in cups it may not be problem. If anybody else is tailgating let me knoe? ThanKs

[JanelleM]

This time next week I will be on my way to the venue :thumbsup

[javadrumboy]

Man, I'm really looking forward to this show. To be honest, I don't think this show can beat the 8.5.04 Riverbend show I saw, but I think it's gonna be great nonetheless. I hope they pull out a song they haven't done so far. YNK would be nice. And we definetely need that Seek Up.

For those who are gonna be on the lawn, when are you gonna get there? I guess you're allowed to park at 5, and the gates open at 5:30. For the past couple years, I've gotten there around 4, and each time some old geezer told me to turn around in the parking lot and not come back til 5. But instead of turning around, I've just parked. Haven't gotten towed so far. But if anyone knows of a better place to park, so I can there early, let me know. Maybe somewhere around 75th & Thomas? That just means a LONG WALK.

scanned in my tickets tonight...

Very cool. I was thinking about doing Instant Ticketing for this show to see if I could get better seats. But Jen would have killed me. And I'll probably sneak my ass down there with her, anyway. :evil :D

I was also thinking of IT for Carson but I already have an extra I can't get rid of, so I didn't need to double my problem. Anyone want to see Ben Harper in LA next Saturday night? Seriously. :)

Hmm, a week from now we'll be at the encore break, I'd imagine. Good times.

For the past few years I have parked either in the lot at Desert Sky mall or in the dirt along the street between Cricket and the mall. That is a bit of a walk but it's free and you get out of there well before most everyone in the lot.

[chels012002]

lets all park at cigna!!! lol j/k I just think its funny cause my mom works at that one! I am a nerd but its ok.

Maybe something will happen to my sister and then you can have her seat. Although nothing but death will stop her from going. We still on for tonight?

[MeghanSteptoe]

I'm going to the show - flying in from Boston, going with a girlfriend that just moved to Phoenix.
We're both 27, anyone want to meet up?

[mray10]

Well, I don't want to wish death on your sister ... but maybe a coma?

[clevelandgirl]

Im going to ABQ and then to Pheonix! Who wants to hang out before hand? Ill be with a virgin so we need to show her what DMb shows are all about!

[phunky420]

Greetings all. Well me and my pals will be at the event a little early. We will be in a white toyata crew cab. I'll have my Seek Up shirt on and drinking....and drinking...well you get the idea. Feel free to stop by and say HI.

[duane26]

Well I figure I would throw in my two sense. First of all, hello to everyone out there! Dave is almost upon us in the blazzin heat that is the Arizona desert. This will be my 4th year in a row going to Phx to see Dave and I'm excited as ever. I had read in a previous post that someone is concerned about security. I wouldn't worry to much the only time I can remember security ever being a noucense was back in oct 2001, Mathcbox 20 show, but that was because of 9/11. I don't usually tall gate at desert sky, I still prefer the name over that damn creature that seems to be everywhere in az and annoying as hell, I do all my tailgating at Macayos in the mall next door. i guess you can call me a sucker for a cold margarita in the 100+ temps. Hope you all of a smoking great time;) !

[DAVELUVER]

I Can't Wait For The Show!! Section 100 5th Row!!! Who Is Partying??

[OnTheWater]

Does anyone know what time people start to line up for the lawn at the Cricket? What time should i get there if I want to be at the front of the lawn?

[mray10]

I don't really know. Last year I didn't arrive any too early and was still pretty close to the front of the lawn. I would think most people don't want to sit outside in the godawful heat all day, even if it does mean a better view. But hopefully someone here will know better than I ...

[chels012002]

Does anyone know what time people start to line up for the lawn at the Cricket? What time should i get there if I want to be at the front of the lawn?I have been hearing as early as noon people are going to be hanging out in that area. I have never had lawn seats though so I guess I should shush.

[JanelleM]

I think the Macayo's margarita idea is sounding better and better :thumbsup

[mray10]

I think the Macayo's margarita idea is sounding better and better :thumbsup

I like it. :thumbsup

[JanelleM]

Should we meet there Mr. Matt, meet up with some other goers and then head over?? I will also be with my friends Jacquelin and Jacob and they like to drink.

[mray10]

It soundeth like a plan to me.

[duane26]

I did the lawn last year and it is not worth going early unless you have a large group. It does not fill up untill later in the day, anyway is 50 to 100 feet worth hours in the sun? Not in my book, just bring binoculers. On the Macayos thing, I have been doing that for about 5 years, not just Dave, and have always had a blast! They usually have a big pre- concert party!

[JanelleM]

Alright Macayo's it is...thanks :) And hopefully we'll see you there. My pic is on my profile...what do you look like?

[DAVELUVER]

Has anyone even heard the opening act for Dave.......Red West??
What time is everyone going to Macayo's??

[kfair]

I will be at Macayo's with about 5 others who are going to the concert too :)

[kfair]

I'm thinking we'll get to Macayos around 6

[chels012002]

hmmm I dont want to be at the venue too late I mean I have this thing where I have to be everywhere early so I would wanna be at the concert at like 6:30.

[duane26]

6:00 is real late, in my experience its better to get there earlier like 3 or 4.

[chels012002]

6:00 is real late, in my experience its better to get there earlier like 3 or 4. ok that kicks ass. yeah so 3 or 4 is good for me.

[kfair]

I typically try not to get to the venue too early unless I'm really psyched to see the opening band. I much prefer to pay $2.50 for a beer at Macayos then $6 at Cricket. Anyhow, that's my reasoning on not getting to the venue too too early.

[duane26]

That is true especially if you have a reserved seat. Although I think 2.50/6 beer prices would be great because I think their a little low. I know this isnt the right forum but........ anyone in here going to the gorge this year as in 2 weeks:bounce

[mray10]

If you're on the lawn, sure, get there early. But if you've got reserved no reason to show up before 7 or 730. Unless the opening band is worth seeing.

Speaking of the opening band, anyone ever seen this Red West group?

[newscane]

I went to The Red West's website... they sound pretty good. In another thread somewhere on here, someone said they were pretty good. I'll probably show up to hear them. I'll get them again two days later in SD. Hey, it's gotta be a better act than the Nappy Roots were...

[chels012002]

Well I am hoping my friend who is a bartender at cricket is willing to hook me up a little. You know.

[mray10]

A bartender at the venue? They have a bar there?

<-- Confused

[JanelleM]

Yeah there is a VIP section where box seat tickets holders can go before/during.after the show. Still a rip off, but at least they bring your drinks to your table while you're watching the show. I saw Widespread Panic form a box there and it was kinda sucky.
