I am still doing New Orleans. I am just adding Dallas and OKC to it. I have booked the hotel rooms, now to secure tickets!

I booked refundable.. and used my hotel points. I'm going to cheap route this time and just transferring hotels to Dallas/OKC.

The only gripe I have is why are they playing Charlottesville? Those folks can do the Baltimore or the Charlotte shows. I think it would maybe have been better to play Charlotte on the 29th, and swung down and hit Memphis(closer for me), or play Houston. I'm not totally shutout, I'm going to Charlotte, but I think playing in Charlottesville is bullshit. Could have used the extra date for another Southeast/Midwest show. Thoughts?

I'll be honest, I had to google Charlottesville to see where it was. That surprised to me too since they are playing Baltimore (154 miles between the cities per google) and Philly (253 miles per google) twice. I think it would have been cool to go from DC to Charlotte then either to Nashville or maybe Jacksonville before heading to NO.

I can't believe for once I get to see PJ without scrambling to look up flight info.

Only doing Dallas and OKC. And on a weekend too! I don't even have to miss work!

If I travel, now I just have to choose shows on a weekend and most likely that's true for a lot of people without nearby shows. I anticipate those weekend shows will probably be tougher lotteries to win. I wish all us Southerners luck!!

I hope you are right about this b/c I'm trying for Charlotte and its on a Wednesday. But I figure it will still be hard b/c everyone from the Virginia's, Tenn., GA, FL, AL, and the Carolina's will be getting on that train as well.

Dallas is the closest they've come to my house in a while. Its a 3.5 hour drive and straight shot north so not bad. Hell OKC is doable..and New Orleans as well.

Though it may seem that Houston is a large city and worthy...this is a diverse city and there was a very good chance PJ would not have sold out the Toyota center or the much superior Woodlands pavilian.

Robert Plant was not able to sell out Bayou Music Center....freakin Robert Plant!!!

Unfortunately Houston's not a rock in roll city.

Peace

I think you're incorrect about that statement.

If Radiohead and Coldplay can sell out the toyota center, so can PJ.

If Mumford and Sons can sell out the woodlands, well I'm pretty sure anyone can do it.

Also note that Jones hall (2900) holds more capacity than Bayou Music Center (~2300 since the reconfig 2 or 3 years back), and Eddie sold it out 2 nights in a row.

I think Robert Plant just needs to tour with a relevant band...

Drove to Deluna....put few gallons in the car and head to a show. Join us.

I have a cousin in Baltimore that is trying to talk me into coming up for the show. If I do any, I'll probably do that one. Still not sure. Spent way too much at Disney last week.

I hope to see more than a few of you at the Wishlist Pre-Party viewtopic.php?f=4&t=210400

So glad you got your PHX show!!

Thanks! I hope to meet a few of you at the Phoenix Wishlist pre-party! The long ten years without PJ in my state is about to be over!

:wave:

Despite he 3 shows in the south they announced, still plenty of places missing out.

Houston - 4th biggest city in America - no shows in 10 years.

Just stopping in to say Hey to all the southerners. :wave:

Shep, glad you have decided to get on board with Dallas.

Still debating whether to hit Baltimore but I have a lot of expenses in Oct/Nov so not sure if I can swing airfare/tix/hotel expenses :(

Anybody give credence to the idea of a spring US tour of some amphitheaters in the midwest/south?

I say anything is possible after everything I've seen this week so far!
It's a strong possibility they will kick off 2014 with a third leg in the midwest cities, then head to Australia.
I do expect this to turn into a world tour.

If anything, Australia would be in February/March. It would be great if PJ did a third leg leg through the Midwest in April or May before the inevitably head back to Europe next summer. But I think you will see some US shows in 2014.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Nutty Local Radio Dee Jay Person!

I was going nuts trying to figure this out.


The Voodoo Fest Contract obligations make complete sense! I guess I'm heading for Dallas also.


maybe....


Or a 3rd leg is announced....

Thank you! Thank you! Playing PJ's new song!

Awesome.

Awesome.

Voodoofest contract obligations extend as far as houston?

I don't think so. Usually there's a 90-100 mile clause... houston is 350 miles from New Orleans and the city is 4-5 times the size.... that doesn't make any sense. If that is a contractual clause of playing voodoo i will think twice about driving there to see PJ, because that is bullshit. I can understand the ACL clauses extending to Houston, but voodoo, no way. that's just out-of-line on behalf of people in new orleans.

If I can find some proof of that I will hunt down these festival organizers and give them a piece of my mind.
