I was really hoping they would be forced to team up with similar acts of the era to book amphitheatres for a DMB-Blues Traveler-Toad The Wet Sprocket "Hacky Sacking Through the 90s Tour", but it appears we'll have to wait on that.

    all i want is to feel this way but looks like attendance figures have given us the runaround yet again to amphitheaters.

    You bring up a good point on how silly this place gets because the sets aren't always to their liking. Feels like people have been prophesizing this State Fair/Casino thing for about 10 years or so now. They aren't even close to that and very likely never will be. Yet, there are still people who believe this is truly right around the corner.

    Maybe people don't see other concerts, but a lot of other shows at amphitheatres pale in comparison to DMB's non-sellout nights. I saw Counting Crows and Live this summer at Deer Creek which doubled as a Live reunion tour and Crows 25th anniversary. The lawn was so sparse they could have probably taken everybody from it and put them in the empty seats.

    Its funny what they use to skew the numbers. I've seen Star Lake this past summer referenced many times. I was there. Yes, it was a little light, but still full looking on the lawn. One factor nobody mentions when talking about though is Justin Timberlake had a show down the road in Pittsburgh. I don't care how relevant you believe DMB to be, but in 2018 they aren't competing with him at all. THAT's a big reason why the attendance was light there.

    I don't think DMB will be playing state fairs and casinos anytime soon or ever (not counting the CT stop in the fall) but they could benefit from playing less dates in the summer

    Summer isn't the problem. The fall tour schedule was a big problem. They went exclusively to a part of the country that gets the most summer shows and played 12 more shows in those same areas playing the same album tour.

Eventually the minimum ticket price came down to like $65 near the date of the show, but still. Is this some sort of attempt to get people to just pony up on the extra $30 for closer seats?

    I'm optimistic DMB will follow its usual pattern and we will be more satisfied with the sets in summer 2019. Every album year people forecast doom and gloom and then they come out and everyone is typically happy with the sets the following year. It happens after every album year. So, until they prove differently, I'll expect the norm.

    They also have a Europe tour to kinda just do what they want beforehand as well.

    Fair enough, but we can agree the "sky is falling" attitude isn't new to 2018, right? Remember 2012?

    Every 'regular' person I knew that wasn't at DMB this summer was at JT instead. Every. one.
    (regular meaning they are at the Starlake DMB show every summer).

    The lawn was light at the very beginning, but there was also a longer than normal wait to get through security at certain gates (my husband and his friend waited longer to go in than I did and they threw an employee a $20 to let them get out of the line and go through the 'fast pass' line. Otherwise, they would have missed at least the first 30 minutes). Later in the night, I thought the lawn looked like it filled up. A Friday night vs. Saturday also deters the more casual fans (and also means people will show up later if you're not willing to leave work early).

    Has Star Lakes #s been released yet?

    Oddly most of the individual figures from the summer tour haven’t been released.

    It’s true what others have said about DMB’s numbers being better than a lot of acts at the amps. It’s very rare that any bands, or combinations of bands, sell out. If DMB does 15,000 at a typical amp show, they’re ahead of most of the pack, even if the capacity is 20,000. You have to remember that in the late 90’s - 00’s, DMB concerts were abnormally popular. Most bands don’t tour those venues year after year, much less with multiple nights. Places like Star Lake or Hartford being demoted to 1 night just means they went from being obscenely popular to normal levels for those areas. Bottom line is that the demand is still there for DMB to tour next summer in a similar fashion to what they did this summer. No county fairs or casinos just yet!

    As for the empty seats in the upper levels of this fall tour, that’s just an example of oversaturation of those areas, plus stupid high prices for nosebleeds that nobody wants to pay.

    Crazy thing is, add the average ticket sales of DMB + 4 more shows to equal JT's 50 shows and DMB would outsell JT on ticket sales by about 2,000 tickets.

    JT is more mainstream by a huge margin, but DMB still pulls its weight more than i even thought.

    Yeah i thought they went to East Coast heavy. trade out Albany show with somewhere like Allstate in Chicago. Albany was 50% full looking at TM leading up to the show. Bit redundant when MSG was already 2 nights.

    and i agree, the last 1/3rd of the upper deck needs to be stupid cheap. The front few rows of the upper deck i can understand being the prices they were as those can be good spots but the last half of the upper bowl at some of these bigger venues for the fall tour where they never sold (Albany, DC) needed to be in the 40 dollar range.

    Rescheduled due to vocal cord bruising. I know Indy is now in April. But again these stats don't include those shows for DMB Fall Tour either. So i would assume they would be pretty similar averaged out to a similar show count.

    I always wondered when it was that folks started throwing around the "Casinos and State Fairs" talk. Was it when DMB played some shed in the South that only holds like 9,000 people?

    DMB isn't like those bands that play casinos or have to do a double-bill and sell tickets on Groupon. Those bands tend to have been bands that, while they might have had bigger singles and sold more records than DMB, were largely Top 40 bands. DMB had a "Top 40" album with Everyday and you see how long new fans of that album hold on.

    For example I saw Snow Patrol play a 1,500 seat venue in a Casino outside of Philadelphia in September and ever seat wasn't filled. They hadn't played in America in 6 years. (Granted I think they just did a small stop there since they opened for Ed Sheeran in Philly the night before.) Now Snow Patrol is no DMB but they had a huge hit earlier in the 00s and have opened for big acts like U2. Most people probably just like their one song.

    DMB also has/had the benefit of a great catalogue of deep tracks which are majorly better than the singles DMB puts out. Not to mention that all of the live albums have likely helped bring non-fans or casual fans to a concert.

    Barring any MORE major changes to the DMB lineup they could end up being like Phish or Dead & Co. Somewhat legacy acts (DMB and Phish still put out new music at least) that aren't huge like U2 or The Rolling Stones but can fill larger venues by themselves.

    Also just a note the Gin Blossoms are playing this same 1,500 seat Casino in February and tickets are $30 and there are PLENTY of seats available. Just for comparisons sake for bands that were popular in the 90s. But Gin Blossoms never played multiple nights a football stadium either.

    DMB has had plenty of popular singles but they are a live band, they are popular more because of their live show than studio albums

    They are moving 717,000 tickets in the summer, not counting the fall tour. Which is right in line with the last few years, and actually even HIGHER than previous. They will NEVER headline a State Fair, they've already gone above and beyond that in terms of their longevity. They've been a touring force for decades, and it won't ever change. Other bands that were in the 90s have all faded since then, and the time for DMB to fade has already long gone by. They are save for as long as they choose to play.

    On another note, were any of the mid-west numbers ever posted? Columbus, Detroit, Chicago, etc.

    Yes, my post was sarcastic. There is a very vocal group on this board that over-exaggerates their decline in popularity year after year and directly correlates it with them not doing whatever it is that person wants them to do.

    While State Fairs may have been hyperbole from most, the vocal minority truly believes that the band is completely irrelevant which is clearly not the case.

    They have declined in popularity. That’s not trolling

    I’ve accepted it. It’s sad tho because the band helped that happen somewhat

    They aren't going to compete with Taylor Swift, JT etc. in popularity but it seems like they are doing just fine overall

    yeah, they "declined in popularity" but from like an A+ to an A-

    In what world is selling over 700,000 tickets anything less than extraordinary? There are hundreds of bands who don't even sell 100,000 tickets a year.

    If people were really not interested in them, the ticket sales would be going down year to year and they are maintained or even rising. No one in the DMB management is worried in the least

    I'm actually surprised Dead and Company is doing Gillette now. Fenway was a nice spot for them I can't picture Gillette being anything more than 60% full.
