I was lucky enough to get a free PIT ticket to see them here in JAX back in 2019 at the Jags stadium.

They still got it. Worth it to see them even at their ages now

I’d they do segregate lots, I’ve lost all faith in humanity.

There is probably a .01% of that happening. It will be up to people to make their own personal choices, mask or unmasked, vaccinated or unvaccinated

I had tix to the Cleveland show, but got them refunded last year. I almost bought them again a few weeks ago, but i just cant outlay that cash without hearing anything about them rescheduling. If they do announce dates i'll gladly rebuy though

Pearl Jam just announced for Ohana Festival. MMJ and Kings of Leon are night one, Vedder night two and PJ for night three.

[RiotAct]

looks like all NFL stadiums are selling tickets at 100% capacity today. Opening Day tickets went on sale this morning

[SeekNancyUp]

Anyone have any clue when instants / additional tickets will drop and become available? Presumably May 22 or later since it will be 30 days after the tour announcement and some folks would have asked for a refund. How soon after May 22? Thanks all.

I am assuming that it's more or less going to be an "assumed risk" situation at this point. Or I can see venues requiring proof of vax/a negative test to come, though I know that's not possible in every state (Florida, for instance). But the logistics of segregating people in to vaxxed/non-vaxxed is just too mind boggling for me to fathom, so I can't imagine that would happen.

I'm going to write this just because it has been nagging at me for a while and I can do it anonymously behind this computer screen. COVID was and is very serious, and I took it as seriously as I think you can. But, with vaccines pretty much universally available, I can't think of reasons to continue to put off events. I've been pretty surprised to see so much negativity around this tour announcement (not necessarily here, though I've seen it, but it's very much out there). There's a healthy amount of people who are very opposed to the idea of having shows at all this year. And though I totally understand and respect that viewpoint, I guess I just keep asking myself "if not now, when?" I'm vaccinated, and all the data I've seen says it's safe for me to do things like go to a show (or make my first trip to the Gorge, which I'm extremely excited to do). I'm all for making smart decisions, but I really wish I could get my mind around continuing to put the kaibosh on events. (I get there is the legal complications around state mandates, etc. - I'm more referencing the "it's not safe" crowd). I would prefer they require proof of vaccination just for the overall public safety, but that's not going to happen. So, let's get back to shows.

Sorry for the semi-off topic venting.

What are the chances the band goes back to the 2 sets format, but instead of the sets being acoustic/electric they're for vaxxed/not vaxxed instead?

Random date and time. There isn’t a real science to it

Imo they have been on sale from the day of rescheduling.
Any new returns could be added right away or most likely will be added at once after the return cut off

Zero. I’d drop so many shows if they went back to 2 sets in any form. Yikes.

Yet it had sooo much potential. I'm still pissed over the wasted opportunity.

I agree the acoustic 2 sets got stale because of repetitiveness. However, I think a two sets full electric could be a viable option. Portugal from 2015 had a decent set:

Dave Matthews Band
October 11, 2015
MEO Arena, Lisbon, PRT

Warehouse
Black and Blue Bird
Dancing Nancies
Stay or Leave
Belly Belly Nice
Crush
Lover Lay Down
Satellite
Grey Street

2 sets was amazing. 2015 Alpine was possibly my favorite DMB weekend ever.

[lavillasean]

if they ever do go back to a two set format, whether it's acoustic/electric or not, hopefully they start the show a bit earlier than they have the last couple years.

[prdstmnky36]

Yeah, SPAC N2 2015 is probably my favorite show since the caravans.

That weekend was outstanding. I believe in terms of song times, night 1 was the longest show they've ever played and night 2 is the 4th longest.

Ohio is dropping all Covid restrictions outside of nursing homes starting June 2---the original Blossom date probably could have happened as scheduled, had it been known (probably makes sense pushing the whole tour back, as they did though). They are also turning vaccines into a Willy Wonka golden ticket circus--5 random vaccinated people in Ohio will win $1 million.



As for setlist wishes: would like to see more encores following the formate of Dave solo for E1 and than full band E2 & E3--that is my favorite encore structure.

Release worthy.

I hated when this became predictable and was a rotation of the same couple of songs. If there is more variety and not guaranteed to happen every night, it would be a good addition.

Agree - that was one of the best DMB weekends I can recall

[chadizzy1]

Since they opened up vaccinations to teens, my 14 year old daughter can get vaccinated and I’ll feel a little safer about attending our show here. We’ll both remain masked of course to be safe. But glad they’re opening it up to younger folks.

...Longer than 7.7.12? (Also Alpine)

As of today, 5/13:

Almost 60% of American adults have gotten at least one shot, and roughly 45% are fully vaccinated.

99.7% of hospitalized coronavirus patients are unvaccinated, the Cleveland Clinic said this week — more real-world evidence that the vaccines prevent the type of serious infections that were killing over 3,000 Americans per day just a few months ago.

[greyson1289]

By June 1st, we should be close to 55-60% vaccinated. If vaccination efforts can be stepped up, it's possible we get to 70% by the Raleigh show.

[Bduff14]

CDC recommending no masks for any outdoor situation for vaccinated people and most indoor settings.

About 3 minutes longer.
