Hypothetical: Structure 2018 With Less Shows

Let's play a game.

The past 5 years, DMB has been playing 41.8 shows per summer on average. Let’s say they want to cut that in half in 2018. So, they’re going to cut down to 24 shows.

How would you map the tour with 24 shows max? (That includes one night shows, two night shows, and three night shows).

    It's been 7 years since they played MSG...... that is way too long

    2 or 3 nights there to start the 2018 tour please. That first show anticipation would be through the roof

    I could see something along these lines happening. More 3 night stands over weekends, one every 4-5 weeks, with single shows tossed in the mix to make up the other dates.

    Any list that doesn't have Colorado getting AT LEAST two nights should be taken out back and set on fire.

    Re: Hypothetical: Structure 2018 With Less Shows

    Leg one:
    MSG (x2)
    Philly
    Canindagua (OH show)
    DC
    Bristow
    Raleigh (In my dream world we'd have 2 of these, but 1 to be realistic)
    Atlanta
    WPB
    Alabama
    Texas

    Leg two
    SPAC (x2)
    Alpine (x2)
    Deer Creek (x2)
    Dicks (x2)
    Greek Theater
    Bill Graham
    Gorge (x3)

    NYE:
    Hampton Collesium NYE (x3)


    OK. This would be a perfect tour in my opinion. I've set it up so if you want to be the road warrior, you start at MSG and can go all the way through Texas.
    If you desire distinct venues you can do leg 2: SPAC - Gorge
    And because we deserve it we get a 3 night NYE run at the Mothership. (I could settle to begin the tour here too... swap it with MSG)

    All of these look great. I especially like the multi leg one.
