And only 2,000 copies. Should be enough but then again no one thought Saturday night Homecoming tickets would sell out in 45 minutes on the day of the general onsale either.

Hoping things will get mixed up a bit more when they come back in the summer/fall Agree on this point. I'm not backing off of any shows or anything but lately the sets have been more static lately than I can remember in the 10 years I've been following the band. It wouldn't hurt to rotate a few war...

I've been on the Hoffman forums for 16 years.

I think it's impressive that DBT regularly play songs from each and every one of their albums. Very few bands manage that. And if you were at Homecoming you got at least 1 song from every album they've released.

Yeah, Cooley played too many repeats (and honestly more than he usually does over a 2-3 night run) but what are you gonna do? I complained a little before Saturday night's show but in the end I had a blast and Cooley is gonna do what Cooley is gonna do.

Is it just me, or are Cooley’s vocals on his two songs kind of muddled? Almost seem clearer in the live recordings I’ve heard of both songs. Love both songs, just interested in why the mixing sounds like it does. Patterson addressed this on the super secret 3DD Facebook group. Short version, Cooley...

If a 15 minute version of Awaiting Resurrection doesn't end one of the Homecoming shows I'm gonna be pissed.

Slow Ride Argument is going to be a beast in the Rock Show. It already is. Of all the new tunes I've seen live, Slow Ride Argument has made the easiest transition to the Rock Show. It's badass, especially when the lights go out during the opening pause right before the lyrics start. I haven't heard...

I honestly didn't think much of it when I heard it live at the Orange Peel several year ago, and then he stopped playing it. It's the biggest surprise on the album for me, just a killer track.

Why anyone uses Facebook for any reason whatsoever at this point in history beyond looking up tour dates or restaurant menus is utterly beyond me. Much less to discuss DBT. You might as well be smearing shit on a wall. There's a lot of good things about Facebook. I'm a member of numerous groups (hi...

Kinda don't know how to feel about that song. It's all the things it should be (pissed off, visceral, topical, etc.)....but is it....good? Is it even important if it is? There's a lot to digest here I feel like I'm in the very small DBT fan minority that supports the stance and the politics but is ...

Seconded

I understand that it sold out fast. I said hours, one says 38 minutes, one says 47 minutes........ whatever If you got on at 10 you could buy your tickets in 5 minutes and have enough time for an episode of the Andy Griffith Show before they sold out. We all knew it was going to sell quickly, that'...

Toying with idea of visiting my parents when the boys play the Orange Peel. Will these shows sell out quickly? It’s will call only, and while eating $60 bucks won’t kill me, at this point I would still rather not spend it on tickets I may not use. So if I wait a while, do y’all think I can still ge...

My .02 I know there may be some people who got shut out of Saturday night, but I really think everyone had an opportunity to purchase tickets. Yes, I know they sold out in hours on Saturday, but it was not like it was minutes. While I agree generally it should be noted that Saturday night sold out ...

But that cover..ugh. Not feeling it at all. Looks like something we all could do on our phones in a couple of minutes. That cover is gonna have to grow on me, that's for sure. I liked the cover of American Band from the second I saw it, this one not so much. But in the end the coverart isn't nearly...

I saw this premeried at the Orange Peel in 2017. It was dropped from the set shortly after. I'm a little surprised this made the record. I assumed it was one of those songs that wouldn't be recorded or would end up on a solo album.

Cat's Cradle the Tuesday after Homecoming? Oh well, have to make it work. Won't even get a chance to fucking breath lol.

Cat's Cradle - definitely maybe
Orange Peel night 1 - in
Orange Peel night 2 - in
Winston - maybe

I suspect Thursday will sell out before too long. Especially considering the goddamn Dexateens are opening Thursday!

I think some of these are fair. Some aren’t, including the last one, which I just very clearly posted was not a problem. Perhaps not. But you've posted several times about certain fans in some sort of imagined inner circle in what seems like a disparagingly manner. So it seems, to an outsider on an...

I think it’s fine that people have special accommodations. There are certainly people here and elsewhere who have connections/relationships with the band, and there is nothing wrong with the band helping those people out should the need arise. I just don’t want people pretending that doesn’t exist ...

I don't think there is a perfect solution that will satisfy everyone. The fundamental issue is that demand will soon exceed supply and the supply is not changing anytime soon as Patterson has already definitively stated that homecoming will stay at the 40 Watt, which I totally get. But that means s...

Holy shit. According to the website Saturday sold out already. Damn.

Tickets secured for all 3 nights. This will be our 9th Homecoming, and my daughter's 2nd. Looking forward to it again.

Well shoot. So, pardon my ignorance, but roughly how many tickets are available each night vs. how many Homecomers are trying to get them? In other words, are the regular sales Friday as much of a debacle as the presale or should I just plan on saving my 90 bucks and buying more records? Last year ...

I was thinking about this last night when I couldn't sleep (sad, yes) and I wonder if they're going to tie the Homecoming announcement into the new album announcement. If it's still coming out in January, this is probably about then the pre-release publicity would start gearing up with pre-orders, ...

I'm so damn pumped about finally getting to see the Dexateens! Also, Wes has outdone himself with this year's poster.

Is there any rumor of a Cooley solo album?

I wonder if Cooley could ever write enough songs for a real solo album. In the past he has struggled to write enough for a DBT record, even dipping into some much older songs during the recording of TBTD/GGB.

Some of the facebook people need to stay over on facebook.

Of all the things they could use to make a meme about DBT fans and that's what they come up with? That's weak.
