The Beacon Theater in the Big City! I'm hearing Ronnie Hawkins at The Last Waltz saying "big time, Bill, big time!"

Anyone know who will be opening?

I should be there! Never been to the Met and it's a heck of a lot closer than Toad's Place! Looking forward to it!

The Silks are opening in Pawtucket at The Met and I could not be more excited!!. These guys are friends of mine and one of my favorite bands going right now. Such a perfect fit to open for DBT. Paul Westerberg produced their album Last American Band and it is Killer. They also were just asked to the Americana music festival in Nashville in Sept which is a high honor. Check them out and get to the show in time to see them.

Btw this will make 5 DBT shows for eastern/central PA within a year (2 Philly, Lancaster, State College and Bethlehem). Thank you DBT!

Another double header with Clams. IN

Nice. You know, the Martin Guitar factory and museum is only 10 or 15 miles away in Nazareth, PA and I've always wanted to visit. Hmmmm.

For those coming to Nashville, the main Gibson factory is here. I can check on tour availability if you guys want. Not sure whether they do them regularly, but I've done one in the distant past. In fact, I was just there yesterday to pick up a shipping carton for a Melody Maker I bought for a friend of mine in Mobile ($250 at a pawn shop).

Giving them a listen now. Thanks!

officially in for Charlotte.

I do not see Washington DC on here. I wonder if that leaves room for a 3 night run at the 9:30 over New Year's?

NYE run in DC would be nice, but that's months from now.

Rams Head Baltimore is open for the night before heading to Delaware then Virginia...

I wouldn't count on it.
Just played DC twice in March. Just played Ram's Head in June. And Delaware is a "near" to both.
Not to mention recent shows in Lancaster and State College PA, plus future shows in Philly and Bethlehem Pa.

Outside chance for DC at NYE, fingers are crossed...

Any word on the Halloween show? I'm really hoping I can work that into my schedule for the weekend.

Also, the Music Farm in Columbia, SC is about to open. I sure hope DBT will be stopping there before long!

I worry about NYE in DC. That means someone has to leave the band right? JK

Dark Star is booked for 9:30 1/1+2.

They could always hire someone for a one-off, kind of like how (I'm told) some Japanese companies hire someone to fire and take all the blame when a major project goes south. (And does anyone know if this is true or not? I remember hearing it from somewhere reputable but I can't remember where.)

Well the email yesterday confirmed a Halloween show. Waiting patiently to hear venue, but barely. In for Charlotte and hopefully 31st.

I will be in Charlotte too, hopefully they will do a Halloween show in Charlotte. I would make a whole weekend out of it! Make it happen!

I suspect the Halloween show will be taking place a little southwest of Charlotte...possibly 200 miles southwest of Charlotte

What time they been hitting the stage ??

Can't get there till 9

When they're in Columbus

Thanks

Anyone have any idea why the shows on this Fall run seem to be getting much shorter setlists? Looks like 19-21 songs on average per night.

Some of these shows have had curfew issues. Also some of the songs get extended treatments these days.
If you want a long set, come to the Fillmore.

Me and Mrs. Poker are in for Charlotte.

There was indeed an electric alarm clock visible from the audience sitting on the stage in Springfield. Show started at 9:24 and ended (I think--I was a little fuzzy by then) at 11:34. Sorry, but I didn't clock the encore break.

I figure they're playing some smaller, acoustically beautiful halls to get a live record done. When the sound is good*, it's really great in those places. And some of the smaller crowds don't sing along so loud so much on every song. I'm just guessing, but I figure I've got a good shot at being right*.

*and sometimes those halls are nightmares for louder bands. There was some vocal feedback trouble in particular in Springfield. It averages out

**why do I remember 9:24 so well? Because I'd just turned to some folks and said, "It's 9:24. I'm betting they come out right at 9:30." I was interrupted by the sound of cheering as the band came out, but I did at least have the integrity to finish my dumb-ass sentence.

Given that there was no gear theft involved, I'm betting on that guy who yelled "Marry me!" at the keyboard player from the far stage right balcony.
