"After having performed to a record 17,000 + screaming fans at an "absolutely free" show in Buffalo, New York, at The Molson Concert Series; we have decided to put on a string of dates that are a little more "paycheck friendly" given the state of our economy. Buffalo's turnout made it pretty obvious that the fans want to hear this great music. But with gasoline teetering at $4.00 per gallon, unemployment on the rise, and a housing market in shambles, it can be difficult to find money for entertainment, especially with "big tour" tickets in the $100.00 to $1000.00 range for a single stub.

Every show on this tour has tickets priced at $50.00 and below.
The economy, and the rising expense of touring a band, which has been passed on in high ticket prices, has created a scenario where the average, hard working, American can no longer afford a night out of great live music. Hopefully, this will give those folks a chance for some great entertainment at a reasonable price.

The band appreciates the fans that have been there over the past six years, and look forward to performing for the faithful and new fans in years to come.

Thank you, and see you at the show!"

Any more dates coming?

awesome, god bless that management team

cool news, please come back to southamerica with that prices! lol

These are all the dates for September. More US dates will be announced for later in 2008 (October-December).
Dave

Everybody else comes to Minnesota.
Last time it was sold out.
I don't get it.

Make sure there is an ATLANTA show!!!!!

house of blues CHICAGO baby! who am i gunna see there???

make sure there is a seattle or portland area show!!!!!

Glad ta see the words at the end of the statement "The band appreciates the fans that have been there over the past six years, and look forward to performing for the faithful and new fans in years to come.

Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm holding out for Wisconsin, though I'd love to go to the house of blues in Chicago, it presents alot of transportation problems for me.

Long time no see buddy

i guess sometimes it takes something like a chicago date to get me back around these parts. lately i'd come on here and expect some tumbleweed to go by, ya know?

if there was anything new, it'd be some 20-part post by some guy having a convo w/ himself...

Universal I will see you there, this time I thought I would try VIP, gotts try it atleast one time.

I hear ya, this string of US dates should help

A midwest date west of Chicago would be very welcome...

Finally, a nice string of US dates.
Thank you boys....
See you in Chicago!

Anyone know when Rochester tix go on sale?

-- Doop

hell yeah man, the soundcheck should be fun. ill probally be milling around the lobby all day anyway, trying to catch an earful (worked with the cult at hob)...so see ya there!

Got my answer. Rochester tix on sale at TicketMaster -- $26 general admission. Cheap date!

Look forward to meeting you...!

So...from what I understand, the VIP tickets only include a poster and entrance to the sound check? No meet & greet? Anyone know?

This is what I wanted to know myself also? Does anyone know this?

We'll be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

In the past the VIP ticket always got you 1 piece of merch and a meet and greet after the show. The band was always happy to sign anything you presented to them at the Meet and Greet as well. Keep in mind the meet and greet is fast and depending how many people bought the VIP is how quickly you'll be rushed through. Be prepared for a quick "hello" and a quick autograph.

when are the west coast dates going to come out?


Peace

The new york show is having a 10$ per ticket promotion, very cool.

Anyone go to last nights gig ?

would have if I could, damn college
I know someone that was suppose to go, let me see if I can get some info back

Not last night, but saw them in Rochester Tuesday night -- small crowd, but they rocked!

-- Doop

What was their setlist?


Peace

Yer what was the setlist doop ?

I'll have to reconstruct from memory ...

Stay tuned!

-- Doop

OK, here goes, to the best of my recollection:

Love Me Two Times
Break On Through
Love Her Madly
When The Music's Over
Peace Frog
Moonlight Drive/Horse Latitudes
Wild Child
Alabama Song
Back Door Man
Five To One
Spanish Caravan
Touch Me
L.A. Woman

ENCORE: Light My Fire

This isn't the exact order, but I think it's close. They definitely opened with LMTT. I think I got everything ...

They played about 1:45. Of note: the absence of "Roadhouse Blues," and "Riders on the Storm." And just one encore -- bummer!

-- Doop

Hi everyone..... I was at both shows and yes they did rock!!! I'll post more detail and pics in a few days! They played The Soft Parade in Cleveland....and all I can say is WOW!!
Everyone in the band was on, and they all looked so happy...2 amazing shows in a row!!!
Got to to meet Brett after the Rochester show and Ty after the Cleveland show!! Both were so nice, just amazing! I'll be posting some short videos and lots of pictures in the coming weeks!!

Cool! Where did you meet Brett?

You're right; the band seemed in a great mood, very lighthearted -- especially Ray. He seemed in the best mood of any show (4) that I've seen!

I think they did "Soft Parade" when they played Cleveland last year ... can't remember!

Looking forward to the pics and vids!

-- Doop

hey dave, can we expect to see any new dates soon?

yeah i was wondering that too. I missed the chicago show. What a bummer. Will there be any more U.S. dates soon after Robby is done with the Hendrix dates?

Maybe a new years eve show ?

I Second That!!!
I'll be there. "The Soft Parade has now begun..."
