How much are tix running for this tour? I would love to take my favorite girl down to gulf shores since the fact I've seen them and she hasn't is somewhat of a sore subject

CJMST3K

I just bought mine for Charlottesville. After a $5 service fee thru a non-TM vendor it was about $45.

Anyone going to any of the FL shows? I'm thinking about checking out the Ybor City (Tampa) show

you got it! Is the Ritz walking distance to all of the other bars/clubs in Ybor? I've only been to Ybor City once and it's been a few years

I am hoping they play with Pearl Jam in Holland. I am wishing to be honest.

Hey lukinfan...there are plenty of bars in the area. I would suggest parking near 16th st and 7th ave. The ritz is on that corner. My fav was new world brewery on 8th...from the ritz you would just go up a block and make a left on 8th...new world will be up a block on your left. There's a metal dive bar right across from the venue too. Down 7th towards 20th st there's a place called boneyard that's pretty cool too. Tampa brew co on 8th is a restaurant by urban that brews it's own beers...really good hummus!

If you need any other suggestions in the area let me know! Ybor has calmed down a bit from years ago...it's pretty much a bunch of artists and hipsters.

So is the new record good? I'm expecting it in the mail tomorrow, been so tempted to listen to it on Spotify but I've been holding out.

I got a front row ticket to the Athens, Ohio show. Should be a great show in a great college town.

Mine arrived Saturday. It's smokin'. I've listened to it twice this morning already and a couple of times over the weekend.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ben Harper for the first time in June at Hyde Park before PJ perform.

To be honest... Despite all the ravings about him from Ed and PJ fans in general, I've not really gotten round to listening to him much. I would like to get a lot more more familiar with his music before I see him.

Looking at his disography, he's got quite a large back catelogue of albums... so as a new listener, I was just wondering which albums you guys would recommend as being the best... as a starting point and an introduction to his music?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't actually heard that much either, but I've liked the little that I've heard. I recommend Both Sides Of The Gun. It's a two-disc album of ballads and slightly rockier songs. Brilliant from top to bottom.

Thanks Bud... I've just purchased! Looking forward to giving it a spin.

Just discovered you can listen to all of his albums on his website... so I'll give them a listen and purchase a few more.

That is so awesome! Their debut album was flawless, seriously cannot wait for the follow-up. I'm going to the record store to pick up their live album today in fact, along with DBT's The Big To-Do.

Hooray for payday!
