Darien 2013

Just curious if anyone has news or dates about Darien or Buffalo shows this summer? July 2012 was a great show and the parking lot was rather fun...people have complained about the new rules regarding not being able to walk onto the property (have to drive) but I was in (early) and out pretty quickly last year...thanks all!

    Worst venue in every way, shape and form.

    A kinda respectable lot scene is the only even vaugely "redeeming" "quality".

    Yeah same here. Although I don't think I'm going to make the trek up this summer.

    Unless there's a show close by the night before or after.

    Re: Darien 2013

    Why is Canandaigua so much better than Darien? Or I guess I'm wondering why everyone hates Darien so much? I've only been to one outdoor DMB show and I liked it but then again it was my first show. I have since seen them 3 more times but all indoors so I'm curious what's better at other venues...sound? space? ease of access? bathrooms? what??? thanks for your input. I can easily travel to Toronto, Cleveland, NYC, Saratoga, Pittsburgh, Boston areas so any advice is appreciated!

    Why Darien Sucks, by Ed Coombs

    1. Parking - an absolute nightamarish scene of drunken frat boys. Now you're forced to park in their parking lot as there can be no "walk ins" since some drunken cowboy got hit by a car and killed walking back to his car. The wait to get of of the lots can take hours.
    2. The venue- Its a fucking tent. The layout is horrible. If you're not in the 100-200's seeing the stage is tough because its not graded much. Sort of like being in the back of the floor. The stage is really high, like 7 feet high. You get a sore neck on the rail.
    3. Too many people from Buffalo go here.


    Why is CMAC better? - Its a new amphitheater that replaced Finger Lakes Performing Arts Center. Its small and intimate, new and even lawn seats can be fun. Parking isn't such a hassle.

    In Darien's case, all of those things you listed are inferior to most places you can catch a show. Don't get me wrong...I don't let that keep me from going to the Darien show, but its by far my least favorite venue I've been to.

    That said, the experience improves 10x if you camp there and have 100 or 200 level seating.

    Assuming you're from the general area, go to SPAC and then revisit your post.

    I live about 15 minutes from Darien and I think it sucks. I havent gone to a concert there in I think two years. I grew up in Canandaigua and love CMAC I also wish they would move the bigger name concerts to CMAC. I will probably go to Darien this year and have heard from an inside source that works promotions for the concerts that DMB will be July 1,2 or 3rd. They are just working to finalize a date.

I will probably go to Darien this year and have heard from an inside source that works promotions for the concerts that DMB will be July 1,2 or 3rd. They are just working to finalize a date.
    me too

    Re: Darien 2013

    I appreciate all the input. I lived like 25 minutes from SPAC for 10 years but wasn't into Dave and never went to a show, saw lots of Allman Brothers there and the venue definitely is nice. Darien is closest to where I live but now that I'm hooked onto DMB I imagine I'll travel all around to see him (went to Toronto, Brooklyn and Philly for winter 2012) so I can get my own feel for all the different outdoor venues in the Northeast. I am pissed I wasn't into his music when I loved so close to SPAC---and for two nights so often, so many good set lists!!!! DAMN!!!

    And I grew up in Buffalo (now live in Olean) so the Buffalonian comment hurts, then again you said it was a joke so that's OK. And at least I don't live in that ghetto named Syracuse
