Meh, CT My expectations aren't particularly lofty. I'm content to hear Phil drop a few bombs and beam from the stage.I look forward to catching up with some friends too.
I believe the Fox has Mountain Sun brews on tap too, which is nice.
As much as I'd like to see Phil, probably won't be able to pull this off ... already making two trips to the front range for Trey @ Red Rocks then D&C.
Zooey people payed $100 for SCI for fox 25 anniversary. Fox only hold 600+. Rumor was SCI sold half to their family and friends...maybe same thing this time around. Might be a hard ticket to get! .will be oversold. Mostly with Dead and CO playing Folsom june 9 and 10.
I would love to hear Phil live but for me, $75+fees is a lot to pay for a band I wouldn't see without Phil. I mean, I bought String Cheese at Red Rocks for 33,34 and $35 for their summer run. The Fox can get pretty crowded and it's a bar. I'm not that stoked. :(
I hear ya! $75+ fees is very high. I rarely pay that for a show these days. I'm a $20 show girl. Honestly, there is so much good music passing through these days and it's rare to spend over $30 for a show. Here and there and for something special, like Los Lobos in a 300 person room for $65.
A buddy of mine in Denver missed out and says the tickets are going for 2 - 3 face on the secondary markets, which is past his price point. He is bumming even though it is the family band.
What's the word on the chances of finding decently priced tix?
Wow - $75 for TFB & it SELLS OUT? And I thought East Coaster Cap Th Shoe-Goers were Custy's
Now, with all due respect to Phil (and Bobby) for bringing us 50+ years of music, but it seems recently that, either Dementia is finally seeping in, or they're listening to their Lickspittle's butt kissing a little too much - case in point: That Lockn' headlining "TFB plays Terrapin Station album w/Bobby" - I mean, after they came up with this concept, w/RMFJ um, "holding down" lead guitar, did Phil, Bob, & Shappy share Enthusiastic Fist Bumps All Around then Pats On the Back: "Way to Think Up a GREAT Concept the Custy's Will Lap Up like the Trained Seals That They Are"
Saw the TFB twice on a boat ride around NYC. If I recall correctly it was about $40 for the ticket. The first time they had Jon Graboff on pedal steal, and he was great. Both times we had a wonderful time. Cruising the Hudson and grooving to songs we knew so well. Listening back and hearing this band playing recent shows, well I don't think I would pay $20 to see them play. Guitars and vocals are sub par at best.
I ended up with 2 tickets for Saturday. A friend asked me if I wanted her to try to get since she was getting 2. I thought what the hell, you'll never get through on ticketfly. But she did.
Low expectations for great music but it's probably my last chance to see Phil, especially in an intimate venue. I'm taking my 18 year old who has discovered how great GD music is over the past year. He's abandoned rap and crap for GD, ABB and classic rock. It will probably be his only chance to see Phil
It's been obvious for a while now that Phil and Jill are doubling down on the Family Band thing in defiance of the critics, and they are again correct that the tickets will still sell anyway, because as folks say, "It's still Phil." Carry on.
Saw the website as well couldn't make it all the way through any of the tunes posted. Sultans of Swing without the signature guitar riffs and with RJ singing sounds god awful. Oh well.
