I can only guess of course, but none of the past Orange Peel shows have sold out quickly. Tickets were available for quite some time.

Our crew (and extended) quickly got 12 for the Metro before they were sold out on the presale. I had a lot of friends get shut out though too.

With only one Chicago date and it being a Friday , I wouldn't be surprised if they sell the venue out within the first week of onsale as they did at their only other shows there in '04 and '08. (They have significantly more exposure now)

I always love any opportunity to return to The Metro and applaud their decision to play there. A long and illustrious history within those walls. Can't wait!!

In for Leap Day in D.C. !!

If anyone is thinking about coming, let me know, I’d love to see you all here on the North Coast!
I’m literally in tears....

I'd bet my house this guy and his Alderpoint buddies will be there (he comes in around 25 seconds in). And when the Alderpoint crew requests You and Your Crystal Meth it's probably best to just go ahead and play it

Not looking good. After looking at calendar, realized there’s a conflict at that time. I will still probably go for the family visit, just not when the band is there

Seriously? This here, young fella, is what we in the parental visiting trade call a win win:

Either you do your duty and visit your parents and as an extra special bonus for doing absolutely nothing, you get 2 rock shows at a somewhat legendary venue; or

You get to see 2 rock shows at a somewhat legendary venue and as an extra special convenience and bonus, you get to discharge your filial duties in as painless a way as it's ever gonna get.

As I believe a great American recently said, "go!"

The issue was never the “wanting” to go, it’s the “being able” to go

No doubt, Murder Mountain sure didn’t help our Property Values,, bur it tells the truth, which I appreciate, no matter how bad it looks.

Throw myself off Murder Mountain, who will ever smoke my meth?

Didn't see it until after i posted, didn't bother to delete mine.

Oh, 2020 DBT tour dates. There's so many of you. Just be cool down in front and don't push around. Just keep still. Keep it together. Oh, yeah.

Who's fighting and what for? Why are we fighting? Why are we fighting? We don't want to fight. Come on! This could be the most beautiful DBT tour of your lives

You're in luck, my friend! The Wilco show in Santa Rosa is the same night as DBT at the Fillmore in SF. Wilco is in Santa Rosa Thurs, 3/26. DBT in Petaluma Tues, 3/24. I'll be at both! Sonoma County! WOOO!

In for; London, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Oslo

London, sorted.

Now to decide if Ill go to the continent for more shows or head to the states again.

I will be at Mystic and Fillmore, followed by Wilco at Fox

Years back I had to pick between DBT and Gourds the same night in Portland. Chose DBT and for a very long time I never heard the end of it from Keith (Gourds’ drummer). Every time I would see them he’d be like, “what, no Truckers show tonight?”

Man I miss The Gourds.

Right now, just HC (all three) and Webster Hall. New job + wanting to stay married + watching $$$. I'll just enjoy myself extra for those 4, and hope for another Brooklyn Bowl run in the summer of 2020.

Does anyone know when they announce the opening acts?

Rock shows this week!! Though not for me

The year can finally begin.

Just got back from the "tour opener" ...NO ENCORE!! Never seen that before. Still played for a hair over 2 hours. Home at 11. I guess they know were all getting older.

I've taken a few years off from DBT live shows. I was pretty happy with the setlist. I think 4 songs off the new album (maybe 3).

Still a fun time. I did record. I'll have the show up on the LMA before the end of tomorrow.

Also, kudos to the current sound person. He was playing Cate Le Bon right before the set started. One of my favorite albums from last year.

Thanks for the report. Any chance of a setlist?

FYI, the "no encore" approach has been the rule for some time now w/ only a couple of exceptions since the band adopted that approach.

Saw the setlist on FB. I'm very happy to see that "Play It All Night Long" is back, at least to some extent. Hoping to hear it at one of the February shows.

Thanks for recording!!! Hoping you’ll be in Denver this weekend.

I noticed the Cate Le Bon track as well. I turned to my friend and basically said the same thing you said above.

Sorry for the incomplete and grammatically incorrect setlist posted via Uncle Ricky. He was supposed to edit that and make me look good. I was way over served last night.

Really good show last night in an awesome venue. Excited for what the rest of the weekend has left.

Thanks for the update on the encore situation. Good to know. Encore's are kind of stupid. Makes no difference to me if they would have walked off the stage 2 songs before the end of the set to make an "encore."

I should have the recording done and up on the LMA later today.

I'm not going to either Gothic show. I've been on a DBT hiatus (hence not know the encore situation). Not sure I'm ready for multi-night runs again.

I do think there may be a taper for at least 1 night of the Gothic. Maybe both.

Thanks for the Boulder show info.

I'm going to the show at the Gothic tonight. I'll post some pictures afterwards.
