    I think the attendance sucking in 08 was due to a number of large concerts in the omaha area that week, if I remember correctly there were 4 fairly large concerts that week in Omaha

    Basically my point is I would watch them play in a parking lot so the venue or circumstance doesn't really matter. The fact they are playing in Omaha period is something to rejoice.

    There is nothing wrong with the qwest center, it is a very nice arena. Attendance in 2008 was probably 3/4ths full. I believe there was another decent sized concert in Council Bluffs the same night as DMB I think it may have been Journey , not to mention Tom Petty played the Qwest I think the day before DMB that week. It was just a full week of concerts in Omaha

    shouldn't have got your hopes up, but I will see if my good buddy can wrangle an extra ticket to their suite. The problem is, it's not his suite, it's his wife's parents, so they have the say in how many tickets they give him. For DMB in '08, they had the max number of people you can have in a suite. His wife's younger brother brought a lot of his douchey friends which soured the experience a little, but not too much.

    For an indoor venue, the Qwest is one of my favorite spots to see a show.

    It is the best arena I have been to a show at, have not been to tons of Arenas but it is probably the best arena in this area other than Sprint Center

    I've seen shows at 3 arena's. Qwest, Pepsi Center, and Hilton in Ames. Qwest was the best of those three venues by far as far as sound goes for sure.

    Not really Omaha related but I think it is awesome that Butterfly from Bonner Springs 2007 is on the Haiti EP, I am sure a lot of people in this thread were at that show, Great version and very unexpected that night.

    That was my 2nd show. The first half of that show was as good as you can get. Triplets opener, Nancies>>Warehouse, BOWA, Seek Up...

    Loved that show, it was unreal, especially right after Alpine that weekend before, I didnt think Bonner Springs would top Alpine but it did UTTAD intro to WH return was so sick. Only weak part of the set was Encore, There was that run of 3 SU songs but they followed quickly with great songs.

    I was 5th row at that show

    Yeah, it was a great show. It was the first of my nine shows that year and it was just as good (if not a little better) as Hollywood Bowl N2.

    I just requested Best Available for both Omaha and Wichita. I don't mind standing in the back or off to the side...Carter can sometimes get some air underneath those drumsticks.

    I was 5th row at that show
    Alpine the weekend before this show was my first live DMB experience. I was so blown away, I called in sick on that Tuesday, drove 7 hours to KC, went to the show with some of my friends who had driven down from Omaha, drove 7 hours back to Minneapolis immediately after the show, got home around 6:30AM, took a shower, got dressed, and was at work by 8AM.

    One of the craziest things I've ever done.

    This is kind of on topic... I grew up in Omaha and can remember the days when the Civic Auditorium always got skipped by big bands (because THAT place was sucked) who played K.C. instead. Then, all the radio stations did promos for K.C. It's good to see my hometown get big-time shows, more regularly now.

    I would make the trip for this (free place to stay in town) if it was during my summer... but a Tuesday during the school year makes it tough to have to design substitute teacher plans for two straight days. So it looks like Wichita instead...

    I long for a year that DMB plays the West in June so that I can make it to multiple shows in locations by Colorado, seeing as how we're skipped each year.

    It still does.

    I'm still hoping for that late Red Rocks announcement!
