Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm going to do 2 of these. Either radio city or Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidsmoke Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Will this be a full band or will the guests step on and off just for a song or two? How much singing will Phil do? I'm on the fence. Please go easy on me, I like to know as much as I can when it comes to costly trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Dead duck Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I will make an attempt at getting tix for Saturday Chicago show. Only because Phil is the only member the boys still need to see. I’m assuming it will be all ages. But I won’t be heartbroken if I get shut out.

Forum MVP Rude Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 We signed up for the presale. But this is just a duo right? Not full band? But Chicago is a stones throw for us relatively-360 miles. It’s weird how my thinking has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 None of those are reasonably close or convenient for me. It is weird how my thinking has changed, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 What is close to Vegas? LA I guess but that’s it. U chose the fast lane city for gambling booze and women but it also isolates you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Dead duck Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Chicago a 5-6 hour drive for me. Still a haul but no where near what it would be to go to the Cap or Terrapin Crossroads. So if I can Check Phil off their list in Chi town that’s probably as close as Phil will come to me.

Forum MVP Tea Posted December 11, 2017 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 http://www.bobbyandphil.com/ No mention of a dedicated lead - more like a guest rotation? Seems surprising that they only have 6 shows announced - with the cai$h at stake here and Shappy as the promoter of record, I would have expected a bit more. It's early yet I guess.

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Funny, I thought I chose 20 years ago to live in Las Vegas for the job, the climate (10 months out of the year, anyway), and as an added attraction the scenic wonders within a few hours’ drive. The fact that many world-class acts of different genres come through here on a regular basis is a nice but expensive bonus so I don’t see a lot of them. Life in the fast lane here can be Hobbesian: nasty brutish and short. I know some here have experienced it firsthand and lived to tell the tale. This is in many ways the eastern-most suburb of Los Angeles but within the same radius we have majestic mountains, stunning desert vistas, and the ability to embrace them regularly. That is my kind of isolation. And I have always appreciated the difference between being lonely and being alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted December 11, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I feel you. How you can be lonely when you just call the number on the card? I hope you're not one of the weirdos that just pays to snuggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindman Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 My guess is a set of Bob cowboy tunes with (maybe) the National guys, then a brief 4-5 tune set with just Bob and Phil and then a set of Phil and the family band. Phil and Bob trade turns opening, closing. Have fun but no spot taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mentality has completely changed on drives. With my rider at my side i love the road now. And I really like driving at night now. I remember on my 1st New Years run it was 2013 with a great group. We stayed in Richmond overnight while MC was hitting the road. I’m like u are crazy for driving to Philly this late. He said we were the crazy ones. We’d have huge holiday traffic. 7 hours later we got Philly the next day and he was right. Now I live by get down the road if with the girl at night. With the boys we stay put. With the girl hop in car and drive. Even a year ago I wouldn’t take off near midnight on a 7 hour drive to a show next day. Now that seems like a no brainer. Cleveland? That’s a hometown show. Only 8 hours. It’s strange how your thinking changes over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP BillK522 Posted December 13, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Respect for Bob and Phil to continue to tour and create music. Jerry would have had a band as long as he had wanted. Love driving post show. Many a night spent getting to the next show or home. Although the bus didn't have cruise control.

Forum MVP Dead duck Posted December 14, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Signed up for presale, got on the minute they went on sale and shut out. No tickets available. I am never able to get tickets for these things. If I could watch one business burn to the ground with a smile on my face, it would be Ticketmaster.

Forum MVP 2muchfun Posted December 14, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 3rd row balcony for me for 3/10. Had to ignore "no available tickets available" message several times and then it popped up. Ticket Bastards and I go back a long way. At least at casino's I sometimes win.

Advisory Board Dr. Barry Posted December 14, 2017 Advisory Board Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yup. Shut out immediately and then after 15 minutes the site locked me out completely.... If anyone had luck and finds themselves with 2 extras for Chicago 3/11 and/or NYC 3/2 and 3/3.... and could tolerate going to a show with me, I wouldn’t mind at all! I promise not to make any comments during any “Phil donor rap” that may occur. Dr. B 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only money I contemplated releasing my Row P balcony seats but after I knew Dr B got shut out of NYC, I decided wasn’t worth the risk. Plus I always want the cheapest tix for any dead type show as I ain’t bound to society’s archaic seating system. Eventually bands will use brain scans to see who deserves to be up front and most here will always be first few rows to motivate the musicians. Imagine the Grateful Dead movie if all those fans up front were forced into assigned seats. Overall’s guy wouldn’t likely be at the front of stage to get Jerry pumped. If you forced dead fans to sit, you would get their studio music. Our dancing created the live sound we know. Eyes was less than 4 minutes on an album until Jerry said “let them dance” and decided to extend it to 20 minutes. That’s likely possibly perhaps a true story passed down through many generations like the Bible. In 1500 years, people will say Bobby weir was 8’3” and lived to 356 years playing over 19k shows. That’s how this stuff works and i want in on the mythology action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
