    Instants at Darien are risky. Really risky, you could end up in 400's easy

    400's are what Warehouse gave me...so I'm praying these are better. If not, I'll hopefully be able to get face back...

    from the rail you can't see Dave's knees. The stage is probably over 6 feet high, or more. You can barely see Carter. You wanna be back more or in the back to see whole stage. Pit, like the parking lots, suck at Darien

    I'll agree that the pit at Darien sucks, and most of the venue for that matter, but the parking lots are OK if you're in the right spot (for quick exit) and have good folks around you -last two years went great for me...good people and smooth exit. Maybe I've just been lucky? Works for me.

    When is the tape from last year's show going to be available? Since it's not the next Live Trax offering I'm guessing it'll never show up...

    Tape will never show unfortunately, apparently some shit head knocked over a rig of the guy that would have shared.

    I am told by my taper friends that "the tour is covered" by reliable tapers.

    Parking hell hole can be avoided more easily if park is open and you can park in normal park lot. It's closed this year so it's up to the security park staff as to what they'll allow. Since they're typical assholes, it probably won't go well.

    So should I be in line when doors open to get a spot at the back of the pit?

    Every year I wish this wasn't my home venue.

    My son and a friend went in early and got rail on Stefan's side. My friend and I went in later and joined them. We had a ball, Dave used my buddies hat during Jimi, actually gave it back with some sunglasses. We really had to reach up and him down to get it.

    The pit is so low compared to stage when Dave gave me a pick I leaned out with a sign and Dave dropped it onto the sign.

    I'm thinking of going early to get rail. Then I can always move towards the back if things get ugly.

    And as bad as Dairen is, they always deliver. Which brings us back every year.

    So I AM going to this show this year, will be my first full band show since SPAC '08, the two set format had nothing to do with me deciding to go though. Buddy of mine snagged two tickets from WH and pressured me into it.

    I can't wait to deal with that lot, especially considering I'm not taking any time off which means I'll be getting there around 630/7pm, and won't be getting to bed until 1am (early estimate) and will need to wake up at 630am for work the next morning.

    I'm almost ready to sell me Section 202 Row 5 seats I hate parking there soooooo fucking bad.
    Park in the way back. Go in the main parking gate, go around to the right, cross the access road, and just go back until you are facing one of the last 2 isles that the cars will go by. DO NOT pull front end into the fence. I have been to countless concerts and ever since they moved the busses to the grassy hill by the entrance, this is the best place to park. Do yourself a favor and get mapquest/GPS if you do not know how to get home after you turn LEFT out of the side gate at the back of the lot.

    this might work:

    I can't foresee them not opening up the amusement park lot. The money they could make opening the lot would pay for any potential cleanup needed after. They know how horrible the parking is there. Only makes sense to have another way out in my opinion. It is Darien though, they may just look passed the obvious.

    If you are that worried, get premier parking. You'd be out in seconds with no amusement park traffic.

    We shall see. I'm not worried.

    How does one get this? Do you get it ahead of time or is there a separate area?

    so do you get there early or late for this to work? i saw people tailgating there (in between monsoons) last year as i crept along in sumner rd traffic.

    although once i got thru the main entrance i jumped out of the line of cars they had me in, heading towards the silos, and parked right in the front lot where the busses are. we were out quickly after the show.

    No idea but let me know if you find one. How long did it take you to get out of the lots last year with it? Also, how was the tailgating scene with the pass? Thanks
