    July 1st works for me. I'm sure there's a torrential downpour in the forecast for whenever it is.

    And yes, a recording would be nice.

    Darien has always been a great time and a great show..even with the torrential downpours! (although I've never been on the lawn there, and won't ever be..)

    The leaked dates which seem pretty official since you can see them on the warehouse changing the url around, has no Darien. Also no scranton, very similar venues and maybe they phased them out this tour

    People think getting out of Darien is bad

    Holy cow, I can't imagine what getting out of CMAC would be like for a full band show.

    Not to mention actually getting in. I just don't see it working out logistically.

    Seen Counting Crows/Augustana there as well as the past two D&T shows, full band would be a nightmare methinks

    normally id just hit up toronto, or blossom, but you know what? i think im done... if they cant manage a stop at darien, due to lack of ticket sales, weather, or whatever, i cant manage to spend the extra money to travel.

    its been fun

    edit: ive always hated darien; but the convenience of its proximity to me has been key

    This, right here...

    Terrible venue (it's my home base - so I've been to plenty of shows there) - the only good thing about it is Shakedown Street before and after shows... but the parking/departure situation is abysmal, the lawn is awful (this goes without saying), and the crowds have been really bad for years.

    However, it's less than an hour away from my doorstep so some years it was the only option.

    Re: ***Official Darien 2014***

    I hope they add one. The director of Live Nation for this region told my buddy last year he could have the VIP experience for any one show in 2014 due to the way we were treated by security at the Alice In Chains/Jane's Addiction show last year, he picked the DMB show and the guy said no problem. I don't want to pick another show as I'll be with him 100%, hopefully they add one somewhere in there before the official announcement comes up.

    I hate Darien's parking, but if you get there early enough and park right close to the park entrance, then jet as soon as the last song is finished (or while it's being played if it's Bayou or something) then I've gotten out of there in 15 minutes. If you're stuck way in the back lots, I've taken 3 hours to get out!

    Well this sucks.

    On the bright side, hearing yesterday that Derrek Trucks and Warren Haynes are leaving ABB gives me an incentive to spend my money seeing them this summer instead.

    I'm guessing that the band was upset no one released the tape of last year's incredible show, so the said adios.
    Maybe a real venue will be built by the waterfront in Buffalo that could finally put Darien out of its tired misery...

    In full agreement. Also only 1hr away during summer, but last two years on lawn and back of pavilion, 2+hr lot exit, terrible sound, & massive drunk alert, have nixed this show for me. CMAC would be incredible, but they'd probably need to do back-to-back nights there (yes!). That's probably ok for Dave though since he can do a little wine business on the side with the Sands and bike around Pittsford near the canal again to keep himself busy.
    Heck, I'll give him and the band an open invite to our cottage on the lake less than a mile down the road. Complimentary boat tour of the lake. We'll go down to Naples for some clams and beers.

    Capacity at Darien is 21,000. CMAC is 16,000. Seeing as how they haven't sold out Darien in a few years, why not move it to CMAC and make it a sellout? Two nights would be incredible, but could they sell out both nights?

    Re: ***Official Darien 2014***

    I have no doubt they could.... especially because CMAC is more "centrally" located to the Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse markets.

    The issue there is the same - parking.

    You'd either leave and go straight through Canandaigua, or go out the back way and STILL have to go straight through Canandaigua but from farther East (given you're going North to Rochester or West to Buffalo).

    The lots would be a disaster area - there's no grass, all blacktop. I'm not sure, I just don't see it happening full band.

    Another thing is that I wouldn't want to see that place get trashed by the Darien crowd. It really is a beautiful and clean venue.

    If Phish can do it, DMB could. Actually doing it is a whole 'nother story.

    And Darien sold out in 2012.
