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, Isbell will be in Peoria on May 6. Tickets on sale tomorrow.
I'll be doing the Sound Opinions taping at the Goose Island Tap House from 2-3:30 pm. After that will probably stop for grub at Revolution Brewing or Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba.chitowntrucker wrote: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 anywhere for drinks or eats pregame?
Looks like I may be meeting up with some friends at Sheffield's a couple blocks from the Vic.
Would be great to meet some people before the rock show.

Sheffield's is a good bar. For shows at The Vic I always pregame at Matilda which is less than a block down from the venue. It opens at 5 pm. I'll likely be there about opening time.
Wait. Didn't you say that you weren't going to the Vic show? Decided the kid was old enough to leave by himself, eh?Cubfan06 wrote:I'll be doing the Sound Opinions taping at the Goose Island Tap House from 2-3:30 pm.

I was going to let my better half let off some steam at a Thursday night show with her DBT girlfriends. My wonderful wife, however surprised me by securing a surprise overnight sitter for the kiddos I'm on the loose.beantownbubba wrote:Wait. Didn't you say that you weren't going to the Vic show?

All this talk brings back memories of the October '15 shows in the Windy City. Now that was a time!
I personally think Matilda is a good, chill spot. The only negative is that it doesn't open until 5 pm. During College Football season its a bar that University of Michigan alumni in the Chicago gather to watch games. Their grub is solid and they usually have some good craft beers on tap for $6-$7 a pull. If domestic's like Budweiser are your thing, it should be a little more reasonably priced at $4.50. Unfortunately that neighborhood which you know extends out to Wrigleyville so it isn't the cheapest place in the city to drink. But it certainly isn't the worst either. The Vic is literally less than a block down the street from Matilda as well.Zip Up to Michigan wrote: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! Matilda is a cool place, though? Being a block away can't be a bad idea.

You can't argue with a $5 Gumballhead draft. That's for sure.chitowntrucker wrote:Zip Up to Michigan wrote:Doing the Sound Opinions event before the show.

Sheffield's is also one block from the Vic, just in the other direction then Matilda. As for $6 for a bud, not sure why you'ld be ordering that at Sheffields with a beer list like theirs, see below. Also Wrigleyville, $6 buds is the norm.

I randomly found myself in there a couple of weeks ago pre gaming for Tedeschi Trucks Band. I just sat down with a bunch of friends who were already there and started drinking what they were, as I was looking to drink cheap. It wasn't until later when I saw a menu and realized craft was cheaper! Lesson learned. Thanks for all the info, cubfan. We are big U of M fans, so naturally we will have to hit Matilda's before the show. Excited to meet some of you Truckers at Goose Island.chitowntrucker wrote:Zip Up to Michigan wrote:Doing the Sound Opinions event before the show.

I thought it was great -- Kot and Derogatis are smart guys, huge music geeks and big DBT fans. While those of us on the Board have probably previously heard much of what Hood and Cooley said in one form or another, it was still a high level, enjoyable discussion. We were in the front row, so we didn't have any issues with the sound. Songs played: Once they Ban Imagine, Surrender Under Protest, What it Means, Ever South.Zip Up to Michigan wrote:Sound Opinions event was great although I'm sure all of us can agree it wasn't loud enough. WTF.
Tequila Cowboy wrote:First off I'm extremely jealous of y'all. I have probably seen more overall shows in the last 30 years at the Vic than any other venue except maybe Metro and I think I've seen DBT there 8-10 times. It's not a pretty venue, the line down the stairs to bathroom can be rough, the drinks are expensive but hell, it's home. I'm sure it will be a great show so enjoy.
Here's Wes' poster for tonight and it kicks all kinds of ass

I think only in the fact that the openers since the Fall have been from American Band and they've been closing with Hell No almost every night. Everything in between still seems fairly random with the usual suspects showing up more often than not. I saw them this Fall for 2 nights in Asheville and 2 nights in Richmond and each show was quite varied from the night before both in setlist and feel.Gaetzi wrote:I know they're touring behind a new album but are the set lists becoming more structured with less variation show to show?
