The Flecktones would be incredible.

It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but I like the town alright. I just finished taking the toughest final any law school student ever takes about 2 hours ago. The biggest plus factor is how close it is to Chicago...and UNC plays Valpo at the United Center this Saturday.

[tmm786]

I am really glad to see them back in Tennessee. Since Starwood was shut down after '06, it has been harder to see them. This should be sweet. I am definitely going to be looking into tickets when they go on sale. Only about an hour drive for me.

As for the opener, being in Nashville, the possibilities are endless..

[matt1416]

Any hotels you guys recommend thats either close to vandy or in between there and dowtown for a reasonable price? Ill be comming up from Ga since the ATL shows are on a weekday

[dmbbearcat]

Yeah I need some hotel info too if you guys have any idea of what's close and reasonably priced.

That sounds pretty rough man, but atleast you got that out of the way. Being that close to Chicago would rock...it sucks living in Indiana and being 5 hours or so away from Chicago

Enjoy the game...I'd be absolutely shocked if anybody could take down UNC this year if they stay healthy. They seem like men amongst boys out there on the court this year.

Yeah, the only problem is that my drive down to this show will now be longer. It still shouldn't be all that bad though. I think I can take 65 pretty much all the way down.

They look damn good!

Question about this hotel for the locals....

Best Western Music Row. 1407 Division Street. Just S-SW of I-65/40, between the interstate and the college. Is that a hood or anything?

Nope, not in the hood! Right off the highway and across the street from a few bars/restaurants.

Let's see.....I think there's a Hampton on West End. There's the Lowes-Vanderbilt, but it's pricey. I'm racking my brain because there is a hotel right next to the stadium.....I'm thinking it might be a Marriott....

Anything along West End will be good and close and there are TONS of places to eat along there.

If you have any Nashville questions, I'll do my best to answer them

[aparker507]

Driving up from Little Rock. Can't wait!!

[asudmb]

I freakin' LOVE Nashville! So glad to see it on the list. DMB always puts on a good show there.

I'm wondering about Vandy Stadium though. I saw Vandy vs. Arkansas there a couple of years ago. But hey, it can't be any worse than 118 degree heat at Memphis this past summer.

I'm going to tear up some fajitas at SATCO and then see DMB?? How good can life get??

Awesome, thank you very much. The Mariott, Lowes, and Hampton are already booked. And I just got home, so even the best western is fairly pricey now, but oh well...atleast we got a midwest show!

I'm guessing since this is a football stadium it will allow, and have a good set up, for tailgating?

Yeah man I remember you too! Gonna be awesome!! Here's to hoping they come to Little Rock in in the summer!

[matt1416]

About how far away is the west end from the stadium and downtown? There looks like there are tons of hotels around there. I appreciate it

[Caveat Emperor]

I'm not sure whether I'm going to come down Friday after work and do Friday night on the town or just come in for the show Sat. Nashville is such a fun town that I almost feel compelled to go out and enjoy some of the great local music scene at least one night if I'm going to be driving there anyway. What's everyone else's plans?

I'm trying to put together a group with some friends, so I need to wait until I hear back from everyone first. Honestly, I'm just excited to have some dates and a firm date for the new album. I finally have something to put in the Blackberry that I can really look forward to!

West End is very close.....it basically runs alongside Vanderbilt University. Anything along there would be good.

I'm getting a broken link when I go to look at the seating chart. Anyone able to get it to show up?

I wouldnt be surprised if they dont have a seating chart yet. This summer most of the stadium shows never had a seating chart linked through the official site.

[matt1416]

anyone notice on warehouse that it says nashville is a special show?

[DMBnick15]

hoping for robert randolph as the opener

[brettbunch]

Can't wait Nashville! I will be there!

LP Field seats about 68000, Vandy about 41000...they didn't sell out starwood (about 18000) the last several times they played there...i doubt they'll sell out vandy; no way they'd sell out LP

lots of honky tonks on broadway, lots of bars on 2nd, printer's alley is the tits, hillsboro village can be cool...all are within 5 miles of vandy

no parking adjacent to the stadium but plenty nearby

vandy is only a few miles from downtown, you'll have no trouble if you're willing to look

it's part of "The Green Train"

[aparker507]

So my buddy and I are trying to decide if we should do the VIP Package. Anyone here ever had a VIP Package? If we do, we aren't sure if we should get GA or Reserved Seats. Any opinions?

[DMBnick15]

how much are tickets?

[ericvol]

Yes yes yes!!!
