Would you prefer the DMB Caravans to be brought back?

[cry_minarets458]

for the love of god stay away from Chicago.

[jwehaeDMB]

After my experience in AC, my answer is undoubtedly yes.

[dontdrink36]

Yes if ine was located in my state or a state that bordered it.

I like the concept of 3 shows but I would rather be in a pavilion with seats. The moon stones and black boogers of Chicago were not optimal.

[EDDMB]

I liked the format . I would like to see them try it again , though expanded . Pick locations where the band has had 2 night stands in the past , like SPAC , Hartford (or Mansfield) , Randalls , AC (or Camden) , WPB , Deer Creek , Alpine , Gorge.

Add Chula Vista or Mountain View maybe for Cali ? . Woodlands or Dallas for Texas ? Maybe Blossom or VA Beach ? Im not at all sure about those locations , wether or not they could hold such an event etc .

May 24: Atlanta, GA (Aaron's Amphitheatre @ Lakewood)
May 30: Saratoga Springs, NY (Saratoga Performing Arts Center)
May 31: Saratoga Springs, NY (Saratoga Performing Arts Center)
June 6: Bangor, ME (Darling's Waterfront Pavilion)
June 7: Mansfield, MA (XFINITY Center)
June 11: Darien Center, NY (Darien Lakes Performing Arts Center)

June 13-15 ATLANTIC CITY CARAVAN

June 20: Noblesville, IN (Klipsch Music Center)
June 21: Noblesville, IN (Klipsch Music Center)
June 24: Toronto, Ontario (Molson Canadian Amphitheatre)
June 25: Clarkston, MI (DTE Energy Music Theatre)
June 27: Cuyahoga Falls, OH (Blossom Music Center)
June 28: Burgettstown, PA (First Niagara Pavilion)
July 2: Milwaukee, WI (Marcus Amphitheater)

July 4-6 CHICAGO CARAVAN

July 9: Cincinnati, OH (Riverbend Music Center)
July 11: Hartford, CT (XFINITY Theatre)
July 12: Hartford, CT (XFINITY Theatre)
July 15: Jacksonville, FL (Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena)
July 16: Tampa, FL (MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre)
July 18: West Palm Beach, FL (Cruzan Amphitheatre)
July 19: West Palm Beach, FL (Cruzan Amphitheatre)
July 22: Charlotte, NC (PNC Music Pavilion)
July 23: Raleigh, NC (Walnut Creek Amphitheatre)
July 25: Virginia Beach, VA (Farm Bureau Live at Virginia Beach)
July 26: Bristow, VA (Jiffy Lube Live)
Aug. 22: Berkeley, CA (Greek Theatre)
Aug. 23: Berkeley, CA (Greek Theatre)
Aug. 24: Berkeley, CA (Greek Theatre)
Aug. 26: Bend, OR (Les Schwab Amphitheatre)

Aug. 29-31 GORGE CARAVAN

Sept. 5: Chula Vista, CA (Sleep Train Amphitheatre)
Sept. 6: Irvine, CA (Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre)

Maybe take 3-5 nights off the original dates that had the poor attendance.

This would definitely be profitable for the band. If they can attract some bands like they did with the original caravans that have their own fanbase then the caravans are sure to be a hit and get better attendance and $ compared to a two night stand.

I'd go as long as it wasn't at the garbage dump in Chicago again. What a shithole.

[Gene Parmesan]

The way people are with milestone numbers, I wouldn't be surprised for them to tour as usual next year and then Caravan again in 2016 to celebrate 25 years. Beyond that will depend on how disenchanted the crowds have become. I don't think it's as bad as the setlist complainers will have you believe. But 25 is a nice number to call it quits. Maybe we get a reunion Caravan at 30 years if we're lucky.

cough, cough, cough....no....cough, cough

I love 3 show runs!!
I would certainly travel to 2 of these - including the Gorge.

Instead of a Chicago Caravan it could be....

Wait for it....

Alpine Caravan.
