Re: Bring back the Caravan?

You really think Halloween/Billies is gonna be around come the fall? You are kidding yourself.

Plus there have been a number of shows over the last 3-4 years that haven't had any BTCS. There have been 3 this tour and had it not been for Halloween & DDTW there would have been 6 or 7

With any hope, people will be annoyed with it enough that it sticks around forever.

100% agree. Or pick more of a natural sloping venue.

I did the VIP for AC and it was great, then GA for Chicago and that wasn't go great.

I realize there will have to be some GA seation, but maybe if you tier it off like Central Park (although on a much smaller scale) that could work. I liked the Randalls set up in '05 of a front section with seats, then GA behind it.

when we go to a lot of shows, we know that we're going to get the same songs a bunch of times. i knew i was going to see songs like crush, warehouse, dont drink the water, and grey street multiple times, but i should have been able to get some staples like crash and one sweet world at least once. eh hee, seven, and shake me should not be played at every venue. playing them is fine, but it should not be at the cost of other (better) regular songs being left out completely.
Don't get me wrong, I see what you're saying, but you sound like you're expecting them to just play all the older songs. Eh Hee, Seven and Shake Me are all new as of the last two years or so, and (just guessing) will continue to be the part of that album that gets played at shows. At this point just expect it, roll with it and shit, maybe go grab a beer during one of those songs if that suits your fancy. Atleast they seem to be playing Eh Hee and Seven early and close to each other so the people that hate them can get it over with quicker.
