I am in! Went to the Taste of Chicago set, which was a nice appetizer but really looking forward to the full blown rock show at Bells Beer Garden. It's like seeing someone in your friends backyard. Great beer and great venue!

Thanks for the insights beantown! I will only be there for Fri and Sat so hoping pacing is not an issue....but you never know! I would love to check out the afternoon hang on Friday and/or the craft beer swap if that takes place. I do plan on going to the Nuci's event Sat for sure. Generally comfort...

Very excited to make it down for my first HeAthens Homecoming! Been a fan for almost 20 years now, but never had the chance to make the trip down. While I always have espoused the always go to the show mantra, the last 2 years have reinforced that mantra! Hope to meet many of you down there. Hope to...

The Weds 6/16 City Winery Chicago show is going to be my first post pandemic ticketed show. Last show was Grace Potter at the Riviera 2/7/20. To say I can't wait would be a gross understatement! I always knew shows were important to me, but these last 16.5 months have made it abundantly clear exactl...

I am looking to make my first appearance at Homecoming next January! It has been a bucket list item for awhile now and I am excited to finally give it a go. Living up in Chicago and with 2 kids under 10, making it down hasnt been easy the last several years. But now they are a bit older and a little...

Really set that one up for you guys.....

Is the 2nd Patterson show still up? I cant seem to find it.

I think I am in desperate need of a wifi router and modem upgrade. All 3 streams so far have been plagued with terrible skipping, blips, buffering, drops etc..at some point.

Did anyone experience lots of skips, buffering and drops? I think it's my connection at home, but was just wondering.
Either way was pretty awesome!

Anyone have any idea what's up with the will call situation? Is this about to be a major fiasco with a line wrapping around the block around show time? My only option for "delivery" was will call, so I'm assuming most are in the same boat... I'll be in town early and would love to grab the tickets ...

Tonight's schedule:

Doors- 7pm
Kyle Craft 8:15-9:00
DBT 9:30- 11:30

Doing the Sound Opinions event before the show. What time do ya'll think I should get to Goose Island to guarantee a spot? Sheffields is a cool spot but I swore I'd never return after paying $6 for a Budweiser 12oz! :shock: Matilda is a cool place, though? Being a block away can't be a bad idea. Sh...

Hey Mr. B I think it has been the Bloomington, Il show since we have done a rock show....in fact that is may last one. I will not make it to the Vic even though it is one of my favorite venues. I will however be in St. Louis tomorrow and Iowa City on Sunday. Looking forward to it! On another note, ...

After a solid Friday night show in STL at the Pageant a few nights ago I am ready to do it all over again on Thursday at the Vic. Nice to have a few nights in between these shows. While I like a 2 or 3 night run, logistically this is way easier to handle at this stage of my life! Anyone going anywhe...

Cooley (blue), Pat (gold), and Jay (white) all played what looked like brand new, new model Fender guitars. Anybody know any story on that or did they just all go shopping at the Fender store together? Anyway they sounded great and Cooley played his for probably 8 or 10 songs. Anyone have photos of...

We were on the dance floor about 4 rows deep from the stage a little closer to Cooley. While the floor was certainly crowded I had zero issues getting out to use the bathroom or get a drink at the bar. While opening the balcony would have made it less crowded I think it would take away from the ener...

IN for the Pageant
(and the Vic)

That's only 120 miles for us. Seems like a steep price tag, but DBT, Son Volt, and Dead Man Winter is awfully appealing. I haven't been to Blue Ox yet (this is the 3rd annual), but people who have say it's a great time. It's on the campground connected to the Eaux Claires festival grounds, which wi...

I know very little about St. Louis (only passed through), but I don't live too far from there now. My wife and kids are in Disney World the weekend of the St. Louis show, so I'm considering going! The Pageant is a great venue, DBT plays there about once a year for the last few years. Perfect size (...

Not in Athens for homecoming but if one of the XXL survives the wknd I would love to take it off your hands.
Thanks!

There was at least one taper tonight. Didn't notice one last night

Great show. Band was definitely more animated/into it tonight.
Slightly disappointed that all of the repeats (4 I think) were Cooley songs.
Left Frank, one of these days & lot of others good ones on the table.

I found the venue to be outstanding on all fronts. I had heard great things but this was my first tone going to Thalia. As for Matts bass playing I was on his side, so maybe thats why, but I thought he was turned up real loud. In a good way. Can't wait for round two tonight! quote="beantownbubba"]Ju...

To be honest none of those park and rides are terribly close to Hickory Hills. The Orange line stop at Midway is probably best though. But honestly if you plan on driving at all that night (IE not drinking heavily) driving to the venue will save you tons of time. Valet will cost what the park and ri...

I am very excited to get a two night stand at a new venue for DBT (and me) in Chicago! I have only heard great things about Thalia Hall. I have also heard good things about the restaurant, Dusek's, and the bar, Punch House, that are in the same building. For those coming from out of town, the venue...

Seeing as Chicago hosted the first DBT sellout concert to not show it here would be criminal.
