Are you saying PJ doesn't give you enough time? Because the Euro tour was announced over 6 months ahead of time as were Ed's tours and PJ20 and Canada were 5 months. All 5 months plus.
If you can't plan a trip to a show in 6 months then you really have issues.

So because you don't know if you want to go to DMB, PJ has to give you a year advance notice if they are playing and when?
I have always had plenty of time to decide on PJ shows. I have no idea what you are talking about honestly.
Do you honestly need more than 6 months advance notice on a show? and honestly I couldn't give a flying %^&$ what DMB band does.
Not to mention most of DMB shows lately have been festival shows where he needs a lot more time to sell 60,000 + tickets, where PJ is selling 25,000-30,000 and they don't need as much time.
And since you said I can say whatever I want about his music..............It sux.

Sux getting old and having kids. But 6 months is plenty of time to plan a trip to a show. In fact it can be done on a website in 10 minutes if you have the money or an hour at a travel agency.
It doesn't take 6 months to find a hotel, flight and rental car anymore. It took me a whole 20 minutes to plan my PJ20 trip and my sister-in-law and her husband planned their trip to PJ20 and have 4 kids in about the same time and were coming in from Tucson, AZ.
PJ won't be playing in the US until the Probably Late August early Sept. so if they do plan touring the US then it won't be until probably late March or early April before you hear anything. If they tour later you may not hear anything until closer to May.

No personal issues. Just stating that PJ does in fact give plenty of notice for tours. You never have a lot of time before the presale, but you have way more than enough time to plan it once you secure tickets.

The days of PJ doing huge US tours are over. Not only could they not pull it off, they don't want to do it.
DMB is far more popular than PJ and can tour the whole US with no hassles.

There aren't many weekend concerts anymore because the venues are much cheaper to rent during the week for the bands.

Being that I don't travel a whole lot for shows and I have a built in babysitter the short lead time was pretty cool for me. I ordered those PJ tix and it seemed like the next week I was loading up and heading to St. Louis.
That's why greed is one of the 7 deadly sins.

I wouldn't consider 2010 a tour. It was 18 days long. But yes that had a 2 month window which is short. That's the only tour I ever remember being like that though.

It was a tour.
tour (tr)
n.
1. A trip with visits to various places of interest for business, pleasure, or instruction.
That's why I didn't mention others. I think there was plenty of lead time for the other shows in my order history.
I had plenty of time planning my trek to NYC in 2010. I just need 3 days. The day to buy the tickets, a day to plan it and a day to travel. The other 57 days I was sitting and waiting. What ever will I do with the extra 150-180 days when they give their 5-6 month notice on the US tour?

Judging by your comments you didn't seem to have a good grasp of the definition. I'm not trying to be cool, just trying to be helpful.
What makes 2010 a "pitstop" and anything they've done since 08 more than that?
You've gotta be the most ignorant know it all I've ever come across on the internet. That's quite a feat. Some great trolling though.
That's great that it worked out for you.
Stop, you're making me blush!!! :oops:

Dave's tour dates run through the end of Labor Day week... not July.
The tour dates are almost evenly dispersed between weekend nights (Friday/Saturday) and weekday nights.
The dictionary.com definition of tour is different than the one being posted here.
The "ignore" feature works best for me when you don't quote the ignorance and force me to see it.
I think the forum term is "troll". Some people just like confrontation and or a debate. I was just trying to vent my frustration as tickets go on sale for DMB on 3/9/12. I don't know what to do as the Pavilion will sell out and I don't want to sit on the lawn to see Dave and would much rather see PJ if they do tour the US. I come to this forum to have discussions with other music fans and not get into a pissing match on who's opinion or view is right or wrong. My advice is don't let him bait you. Hey maybe that's where the term "troll" comes from as reference to fishing?

My sincerest apologies
There is honestly nothing you can do. You will probably have to decide before PJ announces a NA tour. If you really want to see PJ and travel in 2012 to see them and can't do both then I would bag DMB. If they are both equally important to you I would do the DMB travel because you know for sure that PJ will be playing in multiple locations within driving distance to CT and even places you could do short trips with like Philly depending how close to the weekend the show is.
Or you could do one of the Dave shows close to you and wait out the PJ trip. Of course you gamble on whether they would play the Gorge. If you really like DMB I would do the Gorge trip because it's guaranteed to be there and do a local closer trip for PJ.
I would think that if PJ is touring in the late summer in the US we will hear about it right around when those Dave tickets go on sale. There are also rumors of Ed playing dates in Europe in August which may postpone the PJ NA tour into the fall thus hearing about anything until April or May.

As far as planning for shows..a day or two..week max to hear back from a sitter if you have kids or someone to watch your pets...No need for months of planning.
Of course you don't. It isn't 1952 anymore. You can book a European vacation in a half an hour online and have a full itinerary.

That does suck. I would pretty pissed if I lived in Memphis and already made plans to travel for a show. It's one thing to add another show in a city, but pretty brutal adding a new city after the fact.
