At the Moda Center in Portland. I haven't been to it because my impression is that it's a big ugly place with no intimacy. Maybe that's not true, but maybe it is.
>>>>> nuclear bomb shelter here also known as the WAMU Theater.
That is a weird venue for sure. Only show I saw there was Van Morrison. But I am sure Billy and his boys will own the room. BTW - he has cut back on the over the top EDM lights (at least on the three-night run I just saw) and is using more of the tasteful screens.
The older I get, I think I am starting to appreciate old adages like "good things come to those who wait", and "patience is a virtue" more and more. In the last week or so, I've been given killer seats for Phish's second night at Climate Pledge Arena, and the Kraken's Game 4 OT victory (the franchise's first ever NHL Playoffs home triumph) on Monday night, also at Climate Pledge. At this point, there are just so many other things than having to see a Billy Strings show (especially in a soulless venue) that I really need to do. If the universe throws me a bone, that's always a fun surprise.
"Doc’s Guitar/Black Mountain Rag" was recorded at TuneSmith Studios outside of Nashville, TN with Billy Strings on guitar, Tommy Emmanuel on guitar, and Mike Bub on upright bass.
Amazing what a fancy light show and some special effects on an acoustic guitar can do.
It looks like the best venue on that western swing will be the Frost, and that brand new place in south Tahoe is a small arena right among the casinos, 5,500 capacity, so that would be a fun show too.
Ken, if what you say is true about more more subdued light show, I'll be happy. I wish the Dusters would tone theirs down. Gotta keep up with the Jones' I guess, but I don't need it.
Although I got my tix in presale, I went onto Ticketmaster today when general public sale started just to see what was happening at the Moda center. Looks like they have all the upper balcony blocked off for now, which makes sense because it's a big place. I guess if the sell out of the floor and lower tiers, they will open up the upper balcony.

3 rows behind the pit smack dab in the middle Maybe should've bought on the side so I could sit more.
TM sucks. $26.50 in fees on a $69 ticket. And you better keep your phone.

Yeah. he went from 600 people at a venue here at $20 per and $10 CD's a few years back to $70 plus $26 in fees for an arena that holds about 10,000.
PLENTY of good seats still available. Not sure he'll sell this out, but I'll have fun!

Fish, I saw the three Carrier Dome shows and all of the Rich Stadium shows.
Talk about set and setting....Going to the War Memorial after the Dome was almost like going to a theater.
