Hasn’t the band cancelled shows for poor sales before? The way the ticket sales look on ticketmaster they could take out all the seats in the big pit and just let everyone in there and it still wouldn’t be full.

Either way, going in with zero expectations. See y’all in the pit.

wonder what the verified resellers are thinking? many are asking for hundreds more than face, when there are still tons of face available.

[WidespreadMule3]

Wow there's still so many empties. I can't believe they haven't dropped the price for tickets yet. It's still $95 for the "way back" seats. This is gonna be a weird experience. Hopefully the band goes deep as a thank you to those who showed up instead of giving a mailed in middle finger performance for small turnout.

Damn, if I was close I would go to this show. Every seat available including pit at face. Watch this show get the best setlist of the tour.

Said the same thing, wasn't it a random mid week Iowa show or something a few years ago that got the best set of the tour? after the Nashville show?

I'm only 2.5 hours or so from Brandon. Wish I could hit this show, but work and toddler with the wife only watching her isn't gonna work lol

Yep, it was. Went to Nashville and left with a bad taste in my mouth only to see that set happen a couple days later really didn’t help.


Also posting here for kicks and gigs…I have two uppers for sale for Phish at the Wharf for the Sunday show. Willing to sell below face. PM me if anyone is interested.

[jayg0023]

I'll be there. First show since the last one in Brandon. Nice venue, but good grief, looking at the ticket sales it'll probably be their last visit. This venue can't sell tickets to anything other than country acts, and those ticket prices are definitely hurting attendance too.

I just looked at TicketMaster ... DAMN. Is anybody going to be there? They have PIT tickets on sale for face.

[WidespreadMule3]

So are they actually coming out at 730? or we thinking more like 830?

[WhitJ43]

I can see “Pig” making its way in the setlist tonight.

They’ve been starting around 7:50 this tour. They end the show at 10:30

Really cool poster. Nothing fancy but I like the designs like this.

Some devil was sound checked. Possibly just piped in, just what I was told.

Yes, it was. We heard it out here!

[waldo22]

I have a last minute ticket available in 101 row G. Kid got sick and wife couldn't come. Holler if you're interested. Paid $135. Will sell for much less at this point.

[Sethberry5]

Can't believe how few tickets they sold for this. Wish they were in Cincinnati instead tonight

Skipping Cincy and Pittsburgh was such a head scratcher for me when the dates were released. I know it fueled speculation of a fall tour, but historically they don't go to Cincy in the fall, they hit CBus.

Was just thinking the same thing! They should’ve come to Cincinnati tonight, we’d have given them a much better turnout. Also, it’s a beautiful spring night for a concert!

Oh well, have fun tonight everyone!! I have to imagine there will be at least one surprise tonight.

[swim09]

Crowd was better than expected. Definitely empty seats towards the edges.

Great energy from the band tonight. Bomb step was much appreciated. ODH was just meh, really wish they would do it >Why I am.

I hear they played a private show at George Street today. Will try to get more info on that if possible.

[Hahninator]

Holy smokes that Two Step was big. Sounded great. Old Dirt Hill was cool because of all the vocals going on plus the Jeff jam at the end.

Please do share.

[tyler3440]

All this talk about how it was going to be a poor crowd, but it looked pretty full except on the very edge, but that’s okay. I’ve missed this band, haven’t seen the since 2019, and I was pretty impressed with the show. You know, the set was more on the standard side, nothing horrible though. Lots of big hitters, including a Seek Up opener, and a really unexpected Two Step.

[YouNeverKnow25]

+5 for me. the songs they've brought back this tour don't do it for me. hope everyone that went enjoyed it.

[WidespreadMule3]

Happy to come back here and eat some serious crow from my comments earlier. Great show. Really wonderful performance and setlist. The mix sounded incredible (Dave's guitar was so out front). Like Tyler said, the venue felt more full than it looked on Ticketmaster. Granted, it was still really undersold but people spread out when they saw how many open seats there were. I moved down about 10 rows and had a decent space around me.

Love Madman's Eyes. Fits in the Eastern flair trilogy (Minarets, Last Stop, Squirm). Was pleasantly surprised to hear ODH. Haven't heard it live since 2011. WTWE is a good uncommon one. The jams in Seek Up, Billies, Jimi, Crush, Two Step were all phenomenal.

I dipped after Two Step to get a jump on the 3 hr drive home. I knew with the set run there was no way they'd have a satisfying encore.

Good to hangout with Hahninator and to meet Henry (the taper). Overall no regrets for going after all.

[DMBMLis#1]

They say venue holds 7000 to 8300. I guess with pit adds more people. On Ticketmaster it was showing a lot of seats avail. But at show time they musta done a huge walk up for at door sales. Weather was perfect so maybe people came out. Based on 8300 I’d say 6500 there. Based on 7000 I would say 5500 people there.
A lot better than expected and def better than that super empty ABQ show back last
October

[tyler3440]

First show since 19. That show was pretty sweet. Seek Up opener is one of best things they do. It was really cool to see Two Step as well. Two step isn’t played that much any more. My last non acoustic Two Step was 2012. felt like it would go into ants, but it was the full thing. Two Step is perfect at around 9 or 10 min. That was the best Jimi thing I've seen. Carter pounds like nobody’s business. I’ll never get tired of seeing him perform. DMB is loud as hell, in a good way. The mix sounded great. I feel every drum pound in my chest. Fun stuff, may try and add another show. It’s tough though, I live in south Colorado now, and Denver is far

The poster for this show is one with more hidden meanings than I’ve seen in any show poster. The art title is “An old friend” maybe the song that Jane likes? That might be a stretch but the main points are the name of the empty fuel station is “Drive in, Drive out.” The “Stay” poster inside, the “Crush” soda outside, or my favorite, “Cold Blue Ice” sign. The poster definitely gives off Grey Street vibes. Deep.
