Well, I see that the dates for the summer tour of the U.S. and Canada have been released. Presale begins tomorrow in some locations. Does anyone know who Gomez is? I see that is the opener at some shows? We may take a trip up to the ATL for a show, since it is the closest to us, with a 6 hour drive. The Tabernacle looks like a cool place to see a show and we know Atlanta pretty well from going to NASCAR events, etc. there. Let's talk this tour up and share some experiences from it, set lists and all, like the old days. Glad to see JBT heading into the southeast part of the U.S. again.

Peace.

Me too, but why does it cost $18.75 to ship 4 tickets to Canada.
That's just f--king outrageous.

edit: yay for over 37 dollars in service/shipping fees!

Not the GD Sound Academy Again--and before that the mod club.
We actually have a few places in Toronto that have something called SEATS and decent acoustics--Massey Hall, Danforth Theatre even Ontario Place---John you had to sit on the amps while jerks slugged it out at the Sound Academy last July. Too many absolutely crappy venues in T.O. the last 3 times through. Pack them in like sardines in a can, standing for hours--no thanks --This venue is way below someone of John's stature now., skipping this tour unless JBT performs somewhere other than a glorified bar.
John --drop your promoter and get someone who can book you a decent venue in T.O.
And not STEAL from hard working people with outrageous shipping and handling fees.

The Tabernacle is a great venue. Big standing room only floor and then 2 or 3 balcony levels with seats so you get whatever option you prefer. It is small enough that if you get a good seat in the first balcony they are great seats and you will still be close but with a bit of breathing room around you. Get there early if you want a seat, they fill up quickly. Unfortunately they picked the ONE weekend in July that I will be out of Atlanta but it will work out because I was driving up to Asheville, NC on that Thursday anyway so we are going to take a 2 hour detour through Charlotte and catch the show there.

I haven't seen JBT live since 2007(the last time he came to Atlanta and headlined) so I am interested to see the new lineup.

Anyone else going to the Charlotte show? I know absolutely nothing about Charlotte and wouldn't mind a recommendation for a restaurant and/or bar for food/drinks before the show from anyone from the area.

[earthbound child]

its looking like charlotte and atlanta for me.....maybe a trip to covington, ky instead of charlotte. i dont know yet but definately atlanta and one of the others....

My name is Aaron, long time forum member and acquaintance of Johns. I only ask who you are because you came on here to the forum and the first couple posts you made were complaining about this venue in Toronto and coming off like an ass about stuff. I am sure John and his tour managers picked the best venue of their interest.

Everyone has an opinion and are entitled to it, as you are. Just please vent and post as an open opinion and not direct it toward certain people like John or his team.....that will get you nowhere on here. This wasn't a hateful response, just kinda helping you with your "etiquette" because at one time I was hated on this forum......I know how it is, trust me!

I for one don't agree that the Sound Academy is a bad venue. Its got a good sound system and this will be the 3rd time they've played there, so it can't be bad if they keep returning to it. Other highly notable acts have played there in recent years, such as Them Crooked Vultures, Queens of the Stone Age, and The Decemberists, just to name a few. It may not appeal to you, but I know many that like it. I agree with Aaron, please be respectful of the band and their management team, they put a lot of hard work and effort into putting together tours and coming to our great city almost every year at least once.
Peace.

Not that I know of and I'd imagine they'd probably be leaving soon after given they're playing in Ottawa the next night.

Made reservations for The Omni in downtown Atlanta for the show at The Tabernacle on the 22nd! I haven't received my tix from the presale yet. What's up with that?

usually if they have a show the next night, they usually leave no longer than 3 hours after the show....he will probably be able to come out and do some autographs and chill for a few with everyone.

We may have to do that. Do you know The Tabernacle? We are apparently staying 300 yards away from the venue. Planning on getting seats up top, wife doesn't like GA floor shows.

Just a heads up on the merch from the Toronto show last night:
T-shirts - $25 (Dark grey with arrows and tour dates (similar to this), light grey with white AU lion and no dates I believe (similar to this))
Red Rocks CD/DVD - $20
Tank tops - $25 I believe (Black with Arrow heads)
Mama Kin CD/EP - $20

That's all I can remember.

I'll post my show review later today.

[Chuck U]

Thanks for the info, Paul. Glad you enjoyed the show!

Peace.
