*** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Woot Woot, first home show since 2016

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

First time seeing the band without Boyd.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

I’ll be there!!

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

wwhhhhhhyyyyyyy is this show midweek

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

I think 75% of past STL shows have been on a Wednesday. If we’re really lucky we get a Sunday show!

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Guess its this (home venue) and
DC this year.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Based on the enthusiasm in here, pits should be easy to get.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Hahaha right?! I'm so excited! I am ready to take the day off!

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Same. I want to go to this show, I miss seeing DMB in STL.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

I already see myself coming down with a cold on the 16th.

If we hadn't gotten any snow days, this would've been my last day of school. That woulda been awesome.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

It just so happens that I am flying to Florida for something that weekend so now I am just going to fly out Thursday morning! I can't believe how it worked out because it's about a 2 hour drive from home to St Louis (the closest airport). And the hotels near the venue have shuttles to the airport. Woot woot. For once they made my life easy.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Newbie to St. Louis. Is the concert at the casino, near casino? Is it better to book hotel there? Lots of questions.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Staying at the Hollywood Casino is a good option. Even if you don't, you can park there and take the shuttle over for a small fee. The casino has beer vending outside the shuttle pickup too so it's convenient.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

The concert is near the casino. I did the walk once between the two at the 2016 show and I want to say it was a 20 minute walk, taking the back route along the levee. I would say most people who get a hotel for this show do stay at the Hollywood Casino hotel. Several people spend the afternoon at the nearby Dave & Busters. What other questions do you have?

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Stayed at the casino when I did the show in 2016. Had a great time that night. Casino was nice and the shuttle very convenient. They did sell beers in the shuttle line between drops and that was nice as well

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

How long is the wait to get back on the shuttle post show? I've always just parked at the amp, but like any other show, getting out is a nightmare. I wouldn't mind parking at the casino and having a beer while waiting for the ride over.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Having a baby in June so I am gonna miss my typical run of Chicago, Alpine, and Noblesville and my best friend is getting married over Gorge weekend. So this is the ONE AND ONLY show I can make. Will be thankful to this thread for all the insider info. Glad it’s like 6 shows in so hopefully they are warmed up and on point.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Not making this show this year but we stayed at the casino in 16, it was a great place. Getting too and from the show was a breeze. Have fun in Kansas City ;-).

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

There's no show in Kansas City?

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

In 2016 Dave said “lost somewhere in Kansas City” in the opening of Nancies. He corrected himself later in the show. Kind of funny

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

I was there and felt embarrassed. He got booed actually and it was awkward. Not really funny.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Didn’t hear any boos from where I was. We all chuckled about it. He corrected himself shortly after.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Oh, haha. I was there for that as well. I blocked that from my memory.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Fun story: When I first moved to STL, I went to see DMB and after the show there were folks handing out a paper that said be the 101st caller when we play DMB on the radio tomorrow and win $1000. I called but didn't get through. I figured they would run the same contest after N2 (but I didn't go to that show) so I listened to the station and when they played DMB I called in anyway. And I was the 101st caller and won $1000!

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Hah nice. Was it 101.1 the river?

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

There were boos, listen closely to the recording, the are very noticeable. Didnt think it was awkward, obviously not the first time he's messed up towns. Ha.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

It sure was! I pretended I was there on N2 and faked my way trough the conversation :-)

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

If it helps any, he introduced Buddy Strong in Atlanta and got his name wrong....

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Most likely the only show we get to this year! I live about 20 minutes from the venue so it is super simple to get to. May I suggest Premier Parking to those of you that want to get in and out of the venue. My wife and I were in different cars going home a few years ago and my car was in Premier Parking and I was home in 20 minutes. The second car which was in general parking wasn't even out of the lot when I pulled into our garage.

Re: *** Official St. Louis 2019 ***
 

Thanks for the tip! Requested premier parking through Warehouse so anxiously waiting for confirmations to post. St. Louis is closest show for me and the wife so its Maryland Heights or bust for us this year.

Unsolicited dining tip for anyone unfamiliar with St.Louis; Gioia's Deli - the best sandwich you'll ever find. Their location in Creve Coeur is like 15 min from the venue.
