As a American living in Canada, I'm still looking forward to Pittsburgh. But with the tanking Canadian dollar, it'll be damn expensive. With any luck this will blow over by May. Fingers crossed

At this point, it’s not just about the dollar and the economics. It’s about being united as a country and supporting what we have at home. BC and east coast provinces will most likely see a boom in tourism in the spring/sumner.

Both from Canadians and from Americans with their dollar going a long way.
Glad I was not around for the tariff conversation or I would have been on here all day. If you look at the tags of your t-shirts, hoodies, etc. Very few are products of the US. I do not know how they get to Canada or what they would do with the leftovers but it most likely would not be an obstacle to dates in Canada. All the gear and instruments likely enter Canada under a temporary bond, payable only if the items fail to return to the US. It might impact posters or other speciality items that are made in the US, but most likely not, shirts, hoodies, pins etc.

Preach! Thinking of booking something in PEI this summer instead of the US east coast.

I love this thread and how the topics bounce all over the place. It is sort of like a chat room. Going back a few pages about the no phone policy at certain shows. How is that even enforced? Is security all over the place giving people warnings? Escorting people out? Are people just aware of the policy and it is not an issue? Or are you just not allowed to bring in a phone into the venue at all? With mobile phone only tickets how is that even possible?

I've been to a couple comedy shows where they make you put it in a locked pouch and then unlock it and take the pouch back when you leave. Extremely rare for bands but it's happened.
It's usually enforcement by ushers. You might get one warning and the second time you get ejected.

I definitely understand where you're coming from. We do need to stand up for ourselves and not be backed into a corner. My comment was really aimed at touring costs. With any luck we'll get some Canadian shows

For Jack White it’s the pouches, for Tool it’s security watching and enforcing. And yes they escort people out. At Tool in Grand Rapids in 2022 the guy next to me took his phone out as Maynard was talking before the last song, knowing that he was about to say you can take your phones out and get your shitty videos now, but security saw it in his hand before Maynard said it and escorted him out.

And that's ok too. Travelling is half the fun. Going to different or favorite places and meeting wonderful people along the way. It's the ancient Deadhead in me, some things never change.
It would be nice to know if these spring shows are it for the US or not. If so, then I'll make an effort to go to a couple of the shows already announced.

Look at it this way: the future is never guaranteed. If you can get to a show that is already on the books then go for it.

At Springsteen on Broadway, the usher had this high intensity light that he would shine right back into your eyes and phone. You were warned!
I sat behind Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. They did not take out their phones.
I was at an EV solo show in Germany where the ushers tapped people on the shoulder if using phones. It was kind of implied you only got one warning. Then on the same tour, in Dublin, same rules, practically the entire crowd had their phones out and nobody cared.

Had to shush a guy at the David Gray concert in Chicago yesterday who continued to talk during each song, but then also wanted to be the "shout out loud at the performer" guy in-between songs. Dude was drunk, looked a bit tweaky from drugs.
Shut the fuck up, man. Look, if you are into the music and randomly "woo!" or scream out a lyric...I get it...in the moment the passion can take over.
Screaming out, "YOu are why we make babies" at a singer during a performance just proves you are there to make the concert about yourself. Again, stfu and control your impulses.

"Wooing" is often telling. A lot of times, it's just someone trying to call attention to the fact that they recognize the song. It can be like an internet poster posting "First!" Other times, it's an acknowledgment of a great solo-- that the "Woo" drowns out.

I hate to derail the thread any further, but this post reminded me of something that happened to me a few years ago.
I was front row at a David Gray show at a small, indoor theater. I brought my friend, who gets up for work at 3am. So, she had been up all day, and it was nearing 11p. After the encore break, DG and the band came back out. And just as they were about to start playing again, I looked over at my friend. She looked absolutely beat. So, I leaned in and jokingly said, "Don't fall asleep now." Well, David somehow heard that and took it out of context. He turns and shoots me a dirty look and says into the mic quite tersely, "Okay then." because he thought I was implying that the show was boring. I was mortified.
I ended up getting a setlist after the show, and the next song was supposed to be Silver Lining. But they skipped it. To this day, I still wonder if it was because of me.

The only appropriate time to “woo!” is when someone gets chopped in wrestling. Or when your a limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling n dealing, son of a gun..
