My streak goes back to '99, but it looks right now this is gonna be the year it ends, especially without the Bridge School Benefit, which kept the streak alive in 2011.

I wonder how hard these tickets will be to get?

I assume this is the total roster for the entire tour? I've only seen Dave listed for the Seattle and Portland stops. Do those two dates have a line-up posted anywhere?

From the link you quoted.

Can't find pricing anywhere, guess I'll find out tomorrow though.

SWEET!!! Dave hasn't played in Portland since 2003! Yes, I was there and it's about damn time he comes back!

With ticket prices ranging $75 - $150, the question is will I be able to see him there? I suppose if the money's going to a good cause....

[Weezerblather]

is this going to be a full show you think? It is just dave and two other artists. Or is this going to be 6-8 songs and call it a night?

4 songs. Same as it was last year for these Lampedusa benefits.
All musicians on stage at once. They will perform in a round robin with one performer doing a song followed by a different performer next and so on and so forth.

This will not be Dave coming out and doing 4 songs in a row. A bit strange IMO but that's the format. Other musicians there will prob add some guitar to a song or two.

[ToySoldier#34]

Sounds like it is basically a "writer's round" format with insanely talented musicians, hopefully some of it goes on YouTube

[aircavmike]

There's tons on YouTube from 2016, U can get a feel for it

[greenpick41]

Got decent seats for the Seattle show.

[DoDaFoo]

I got Row L in the Balcony for Seattle. I actually pulled Row B in the middle of the Floor, but wasn't going to spend $345 for a pair for this show.

All in what you like I suppose. If it were me I'd rather him just play a 30 min solo set by himself. But I can see where someone would enjoy Him playing with 2 or 3 other guitarists on some stuff
