    Did they play for 37.5 minutes this year??

    With that said, I wonder if they're still doing the Eat & Greets? That was pretty cool when I got to go to that a couple years ago up at SPAC. Whooooop!

    That is a great call Matt. Won't happen, but would have been preferred over a new album tour. At least the new album will make hitting less shows easier as there will be heavy rotation of new stuff, with the regular slot fillers tossed in.

    It will be interesting to see if the "new stuff" truly is new, or if it's the stuff in rotation for the last few tours - Bismarck, Samurai Cop, Virginia in the Rain, High Seas, Black & Bluebird

    If the past 3 albums are any road map as to what to expect on the new album, it should be all new material. I think of the last 3 studio albums, Stand Up, Big Whiskey and AFTW, only one song that was road tested made the follow up studio album, that being Hello Again.

    There is more then enough unreleased material that could be polished up and made into a great album, but just doesn't seem to be the way the process goes with the band. They get ideas on the road, play around with them, then once in the studio a whole new set of songs appear during the recording. The quote from the article that leads be to believe that the new album will be mainly new material was this:

    Quote:
    ...me and Carter were recording some music together. We have a lot of stuff, so my plan is that we’ll put together some music this fall so we can have something out hopefully the beginning of next year. Hopefully, get it finished before that. I think we have some great music and some stuff that Carter and I worked on that’s added to the pile. There’s a lot to choose from. I just hope I choose wisely.
    If nothing else, there is vault of material that could see the light of day after the band hangs it up via box sets or other special releases. The money machine will not stop just because the band is no longer is around.

    That's a good point. I'll be interested to see what they put out.

    I hate to say it but their last tour was almost as bad as 2005 was for me. Clearly they weren't feeling it, it was obvious, especially to those like myself that recall when they did. Zero.0 improv during that tour unless they had a guest (Carlos Malta at the Gorge was incredible). Setlists had 12-13 songs that were in the heaviest of rotation. Maybe it was the wrong year to see them as much as I did. I was and still am convinced they're on the outs and they're done but maybe its me, maybe I'm done. I'll still come to SPAC and likely WPB because I have so many good friends that will go.

    The jams/improvs have been the same for years, and like you mentioned unless a guest pops up to spice things up, you know how things play out. Is the band on the back 9, sure. That is inevitable, every bands day comes at some point. I go to shows now for the people, the time away, the escape from life, having the shared experience with O. I still enjoy the shows, hearing the songs, watching O's face when stuff is played. The shows I tacked in CA in 2015 were gravy. Also gave O a chance to see the differences between SPAC and other venues. While still a great show, the two CA shows were about the show. There was no pregaming or tailgate.

    I also keep the expectations of the show in check. If something cool/different/rare is played, great. If not, so be it. I still had 3+ hours of live music to enjoy and get lost in the moment.

    If I stayed at the Hilton Garden near SPAC, is it a pretty easy walk through the park to the venue?

    Its almost 1.5 mile walk through wood trail to the amphitheater. You cross and walk on sidewalk along Avenue of the Pines. It's motherfucking DARK walking back

    Very easy walk. Don't worry about the walk back through the wood path after the show as there will be hundreds of people walking back that way with you.
