Just got back from being out of the country for 10 days... Have I missed anything big or anything Cleveland/Columbus related?

I will never understand the burning desire people have for them to come to their town. They were just at Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Cincy, Ohioans are as lucky with shows as any region. Tickets are easy to come by, the shows are always top notch, and you can hit multiples wit just a few hours driving.

What's not to understand. No travel or hotel costs or having to use vacation days. Sleeping in you own bed. I will always take a hometown show over traveling to one.

Sorry but flying and driving scenery can be fun not to mention the different reception at hotels and nice people you meet

I have to agree with JWPearl here. The last place I want to be after a show is in my house. That's the definition of anticlimactic to me, to be right back where you were a few hours ago as if nothing happened. I did it in Columbus 2010 and it was a HUGE LETDOWN compared to the hotel and sleeping on the beach between and after Pitt and Buffalo shows in '13 or the hotels, mountains, and beach between shows in Europe.

I'm not against traveling for a show I just prefer in my town or not much of a drive. Like said in another post we are pretty fortunate in the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania region with having a good amount of shows close. And I will be traveling to Lexington, Pit, or wherever I need to this next tour if they don't play Columbus.

Yeah, I understand wanting a close show, I just don't understand how badly some people want it.

I'm with you as I work my vacations around PJ's tour schedule. But if I had kids and couldn't travel I would be screaming for a show nearby. I don't really care if they come back to my city, but it would be cool to walk to a show from my house.

I just think Cleveland deserves one over Buffalo or Pitt since those 2 cities had shows in 2013

Haha...Pittsburgh or bust for this dude.

The '10 Columbus show was great. Having never been to Columbus prior I was really impressed with both the city and the venue. I seem to recall the weather was perfect out and it was great to walk the city. Looking forward to visiting Lexington for the 1st time in a few short months.

AND we got the "Oceans" opener...
plus Mike pre-set performance of "Dead Flowers" & "That's All Right"
It was a GREAT show for me!!

I'd like to have them here in Pittsburgh again mainly because I traveled all over the place in the 7 years (2006-2013) between shows here. I can't travel all over the place like I could in the past. I'd like to be able to stay home and see them and maybe hit a close show if possible

It's only a few hours to Cleveland, Columbus or Buffalo. I think we in this region are super fortunate and we should be thankful! When the dates get announced PM me if you need tips for Buffalo or elsewhere, I know all the good places to camp, beautifully and cheaply.

I don't know where you live. Assuming youre in Ohio. MI to Buff is over 8 hours if you don't cut thru Canada. I consider any trips around 10 hours to be local driving so I don't mind. But I have 3 kids now and have to be available as quick as possible for them. I may be reduced to a 6 hour radius next year.

I flew in for the Columbus and Noblesvile shows from South Florida and although a great all around time and shows, the Oceans performance from Columbus is pretty terrible. Take a listen some time, it was a great treat to hear them break it out, but Ed kind of butchered it vocally.. The Release from Indy was spot on... Don't mean to be a downer... just my observations...

I'd be surprised if Toronto gets the rumoured two and Buffalo gets one within a span of a week for this tour. With so much ground to cover, that's that three shows in a small space.

I'd go to all three if they do, mind you.

I know that the sound can be hallow in spots, but I'm ALWAYS hopeful for a Rochester NY show at the Blue Cross Arena. I've always wanted a Rochester poster (I was born there) to go alongside my two Buffalo shows. Plus, it'd cut an hour each way off my drive time to Buffalo.

Did they play Rochester in 94 or am I totally wrong?

I love that poster. It's fantastic. If that poster had the text "MSG" or "NYC" in the image field it would easily command $500 on the secondary market.

Not a chance. I guessing you're being sarcastic. The MSG 08 posters have a similar cartoony motif and nobody is paying $500 for those either.
