So - his Indy show says 7:30PM.  Is there an opener on this tour?  Anyone seen him before to understand 1) When he will take the stage 2) How long his set is?  

Debating the drive on a Monday....stupid work.

So if y'all are done arguing about trump, timing, racism, etc...

Anyone know the answer to my question?  Thanks for any help!

Tameca Jones is opening in Pittsburgh, not sure about Indy. The last 2 times I saw him he’s had an opener so I assume Indy will have one too. I’d say it’s a safe bet he’ll be on between 9 and 9:30 and play til 11 if that’s your venues curfew. 

Tameca Jones is opening for Gary in Indy as well!

At the Chris Cornell theater!

Yup...the last 2 times I saw Chris were in Indy!!
His solo show at Old National Centre,
and the Soundgarden show at White River State Park about a week before he died.

Really like the album so far. Gutted I’m arriving in New Orleans the day he plays the New Orleans Jazz festival but won’t make the show in time. Not happy! 
No ireland date this summer either. 

Why couldn’t he be playing the Sat or Sun? :(

Super pumped for INDY!!!

Really excited for Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Third time seeing him.

You know that part of the PJ20 movie where Chris Cornell talks about a certain Pearl Jam guitarist being "infected"
or has something inside him that's gonna come out one of these days??
I think I saw another victim of this infection last night and it was AMAZING!!
Gary Clark Jr's show will probably end up in my top 2 or 3 shows of the year...
it was THAT good.
Loved all the new material...
we got 10 out of 15 songs from This Land,
and every single one was outstanding!!
My favorite performances of the night were the opening instrumental intro portion of Blak And Blu
into  Bright Lights & When My Train Pulls In...
that was when Gary's "infection" showed up the most!!
So glad I was able to see him in a small theatre setting because I'm thinking he'll be playing arenas real soon!!

Since there was some skepticism about the authenticity of the message on the new album.

He’s about to rightfully blow up.  I think this tour is your last chance to see him at smaller places.  This is about the best album to come out from anyone in the last 5 years.  

Having seen him a dozen plus times in smaller venues, I was actually looking forward to seeing how his show would translate on bigger stages since his two SoCal shows are at the Santa Barbara and Hollywood Bowls. Bummer that both dates conflict with the weekend of Ohana. 
Still need to give the full album a listen. Like the 10 or so songs I've already seen him play live since he's been road testing some of these for a while. Low Down Rolling Stone, Pearl Cadillac, and What About Us are some of my early favorites. 

He translates just fine to big stage. He’s already played the Garden a few times opening for EC. 

Saw him Friday night at The Beacon.  What a show.  Selfishly, I hope he continues to play these smaller places, but he should be headlining arenas, at least in bigger cities. 

I’m sure everyone who cares has seen the set list by now, but he basically plays 2/3 of the new album with a couple from each of his others.  And it rips.   Not many artists could get away with most of their show being new material but this new album is so good, it works. 

Was great seeing Bright Lights near West 54th (Broadway at 74th/75th is close enough.  I’m counting it 😆).

If you have a conflict when he comes to town, clear it.  This is a special one.

Looks like he'll be playing Claptons Crossroads fest, anyone know how much tickets were in 2013. Might try to fly down for that one

They were $55 in Pittsburgh and worth every penny.

I paid $135 for Platinum aisle seats in the 2nd row in Indy...
getting to see Gary Clark Jr. up close in a small venue was definitely worth it to me as well!!
