anybody else hoping for a return of Shotgun?

Probably not going to happen unfortunately. This is an album tour, so the likelihood of them pulling that out is slim. I would say a blue water tease or spoon is more likely to occur.

I just pay the extra $20 and get premium parking. Otherwise you're there all damn night long.

Its 30 bucks now, and it was filled up by about 330 last year.

This is my first bristow trip. I am coming from Harrisburg, Pa. Mapquest says the trip is 135 miles and should take around 2 and 1/2 hours. Is this accurate and around what time does everyone think i should leave to make sure im there for the opener?

2.5 hours is about right....it takes me about 1 hour 15 minutes to get up to Harrisburg from Frederick, and it takes me about an hour, 1.5 hours to get down to Bristow from here.

Honestly, if I were you Id leave Harrisburg at 1. That will get you down there early and you wont be sitting in too much traffic getting off of 66 and into the venue.

yeah as long as he mixes up the new stuff with the old stuff I'll be happy, I got Granny and Recently in Vegas so I can't complain too much

question: is GA at nissan as bad as hershey in terms of sound ect?

[swemnaked]

I doubt it, never sat in the GA at Hershey but football stadium are always worse, they just are not built for concerts

No comparison at all.....

GA at hershey is the worst....EVER.

Lawn at Nissan is decent. Ive been to a ton of shows on the lawn. Now..if its storming and douches start running and sliding down the hill and knocking people over, it can get nasty.

You guys think they'll do something special at this show considering it was Roi's last one last year?

They always seem to do something cause it is VA and typically their families come to the concert. Hopefully this whole tour is chocked full of goodies.

[dmb131]

It will be like any other summer show this tour...

I would look at the 2005 tour (SU album tour) and you will get a pretty good idea of what it will be like. Except Big Whiskey is a faaaaaar better album then SU. I can't wait for this tour to start.

[JLynhurst]

I will be there. This is my 5th Bristow show in a row, and I am lucky enough to have two tickets in the orchestra!!! I've been in a box, the 100s, the lawn, and now I'll be in the 14th row. Are there a lot of ants up there? What's it like??

[flip9014]

i will be at this show. Im driving up from Raleigh NC. Will be my 3rd show this tour, saw them in Raleigh and in Charlotte this spring. Hoping for a great show, it sucks i have the lawn.. but hey its cheaper.

[naz31]

there isn't anything wrong with rocking out on the lawn with some friends

[dmb_lover33]

^ Agreed. As long as its not raining and you don't have a bunch of sopping wet horndogs tryin' to rub all up against you....you're golden!

Sorry, my girlfriend is taking the other seat. But there are two other tickets available if you are interested. My aunt and uncle have a summer package of four tickets at Nissan, and they aren't using it for the DMB show.

[JLynhurst]

They sold the other pair. The seats are in orchestra and were $250 each.

My first time coming to Nissan. Is it a nice venue?

[naz31]

Dave did tell the crowd last year we looked beautiful with the stars and sky behind us. Besides the traffic, it is a pretty solid venue to see a show at.
