2017 Rumors

i was there in 2015 for the DMB shows. parking/traffic is no worse than any other event that has 15,000 people going to it. i was in the pit both nights and the sound was fine. actually was the best sounding shows i had in the pit of all the venues i was at.

the venue is in a commercial complex, which is a bit weird to have a 10 story office building across the street. thats the only legitimate complaint on that list, and maybe the curfew, which i didnt experience.

what lawn doesnt suck? what bathroom lines aren't forever long? what concession stands have good food at reasonable prices? its a concert venue. its the same as the other 50 pavilions the band has played at over the last 20 years. its not SPAC but you're not there for the scenery outside the gates.

They had the worst will-call lines I've ever seen. People missed the acoustic set because of those lines.

I know you liked the pit, but it was so oversold that after leaving one side because I couldn't breathe, I moved to the other side and couldn't even get in. People were piled up in the aisle waiting to get in because there was no room.

Those are logistics that could easily be remedied (and very well may have been in last two years.) I didn't have will-called tickets for N2, and I had seats, so I had a much better experience N2.

Other than the common areas being two small, I did actually like the look and feel of the venue. I think it's weird that that poster would call Fiddler's out for having no soul, and in the same breath mention a minor league soccer stadium in the middle of a remote industrial area, and a basketball arena as being good places.
I don't care that it's in an office park. The Woodlands is in the middle of a shopping center, and it's a great venue.

Really like The Woodlands venue as well.

If we could quit getting the 2018 thread locked, that would be greaaaaaat.

Fiddlers had awful sound for me. I was in reserved seats. Could barely hear the band a lot of the night

Children??


What is wrong with you fucking people?

How about somebody ask Dave Matthews about the 2018 tour that doesn't exist? He won't address it, doesn't this mean anything?

Any discussion about a tour of the Dave Matthews Band is the speculation of idiots. Sorry folks, I have not drank the Kool-Aid.

Remember the guy that said "Ain't a snowballs chance in hell you clowns out in Riverbend are getting a Halloween."

Yeah, they played it and I don't know if he has posted on Ants since.

You will be that guy when they announce shows for 2018. Stay in your SPAC thread

How about we compare apples to apples? Riverbend getting Halloween and there being a 2018 tour aren't close now are they? RIGHT NOW, TALK OF A TOUR IS PURE SPECULATION

Now, just who the fuck do you think you are? "Stay in your SPAC thread? How about you go away and stop being an ankle biting lap dog?

[Cozmic135]

It's amazing to see how many of you get a stick rammed up your back side when others say the band isn't going to go on tour or tour as we've known it.

OMG... it's the end of days.

Who gives a f*ck... we'll see what happens, won't we.

Fiddlers actually outperformed my expectations. Sound was decent from the lower lawn, crowds were ok and pretty quick in and out of the venue. Overall it exceeded.

This is a really really bad and uneducated take.

I mean, this is a DMB message board, so most people here give a fuck.

There was literally no reason for you to comment in the other thread. You just had to look like the know it all, negative guy on here. You said they aren't touring next year when half of the band have already confirmed it to fans.

Do I have a source? No.... but just became Dave hasn't come out and said it? Seriously, your reasoning is pathetic and childish.

Saying yes to a fan question is a lot easier than saying they don't know and dealing with that kind of fallout. Say yes and if it doesn't happen you can always come back and say, things change. Until it's an official announcement from management that the Dave Matthews Band is touring in 2018, it's only speculation regardless of what other band members say.

Currently the only 2018 show is a D&T show at a Mexican resort.

I'm done arguing, I promise..... but where in the year 2017 has Dave himself been asked in an interview/ or in person about a 2018 DMB tour?

He doesn't post anything on social media besides random things on Tumblr

Words from members mouths is more than speculation..

Words from a members mouth in an official interview is absolutely more than speculation...

and its certainly not the "speculation of idiots"

Hey, smart guy, of course I have sources. Crew and friends of members of the band. Should I name them so you fucking stalking trolls can ask them? How about no? Have I spoke to Dave? Not since 2010.

So, I'm done... seriously. Keep on speculating, throwing out random shit so when something sticks you can be just like one of those psychics and say you nailed it.

I never said that it was. I do think that it's easier to tell a fan or an interviewer yes than to answer questions about not knowing for sure. And it's much easier to walk back a yes with the explanation that things change.

Again, they'll probably tour but it'll be smaller and possibly different than what we've been used to. But it's not wrong saying anything about a 2018 full band tour is pure speculation at this point until an actual announcement is made.

This, so much this.

right now, there's nothing... even planned.

Who gives a fuck in the sense that, if you want a place where everything is "YES, YES, YES, LoVE, LoVE, LoVE, OMG, OMG, OMG, I'M ON THE BANDS NUTS" post it on the DmBNutJobFaM Page.

God Forbid people have actual opinions that may be differ and may have an ounce of possible realism hidden in there and may not be what people want or are hoping for. The world may end if we have to find another hobby or way to spend our summers! Do I want the band to tour - sure! Do I know at some point this little jig is going to be up and that could come much sooner, than later - OH YEA!

Do you actually think these members, when interviewed, are going to say NO in regards to touring, when nothing has been hinted at or announced? That would be the coming of days - they all know better. We all know nothing is final until Dave has the final say.

Most reasonable response I've seen to anything in a long time.

Yeah I wasnt speaking to you, just the coombse's post above.

I dont expect a full tour, anyone that does is probably getting way too ahead of themselves. Like I said before, I understand the skepticism of comments, but just the sheer amount has me feeling positive about them hitting the road in some fashion.

I just really dont understand the "its easier to walk back" part people keep saying. Its easier to just say "we'll see" or "youll have to wait to find out" than just saying yes... especially when he knows he on the record.

That leads to more questions that they may not want to answer. Say yes and move on.

I mean I'm not trying to talk against a differing opinion, I welcome them, that's why I like this board. But the facts laid out to the public lean much much more toward there being some form of a tour than not, that's not really debatable at this point.

For most around here this is their favorite band, they're gonna get emotional about it.

Calling talk of a tour next year "speculation of idiots" is unneeded and condescending when we have literal words from multiple members saying it will happen. Clearly you can't bank on that 100% but to call people dumb for putting stock into it is pretty dumb too.

Like I said before this, if there was question I don't know why at least one of them wouldn't have said "we'll see" or something less solid than a yes or "we're gonna be all over the place next year". Just my opinion.

Exactly.

[snow1868]

Again, saying yes is a lot easier than saying "we'll see" and getting a ton of follow up questions. And by all accounts, saying "we're going to be all over the place next year" is a stretch since a smaller tour is the most likely scenario.

Its a stretch but still an odd thing to say if there were no plans in place.
