    @mrussel1 Oh yeah, going for upwards of $200 looks like. Man, all this poster talk makes me want to put up some new ones. Just looked at my Night Before poster again. But that means taking down old ones. First world problems. I suppose I could sheetrock the garage. If I can buy the Gorge posters on my phone hours before the show starts, and not have to worry about fitting them in my luggage, then I'll probably cave lol. Just like I always say no more shirts, I always ask my wife for more hangers after any concert. I will save money on a hoodie this year though, as I like full zips and they only have pullovers.
    The PJ hoodies are hard to beat.  They are super soft.

    I'm considering Dave & Tim in Mexico next February. Last winter was freaking brutal here in MN. We had blizzards into mid-April. Ate money for 2 different concerts b/c of storms, Soul Asylum in December and Roger Clyne in April. Not crazy expensive for those bands, but still.

    Watched the LT44 Blu-ray the other day to get pumped for the Gorge, only to realize it was dark so no scenery lol. Could've been anywhere for all I know. Don't want to get "Daved out" though beforehand.

    That Blu ray as good as 46 from last year?  The 5.1 is amazing and the crispness of the footage exceeds even the the new Soundgarden br.

    Man, I didn't realize they did a /2000 pressing of the DMB in Europe release on vinyl.

    @mrussel1 honestly, most of my LTs are still sealed. I haven't watched 46 yet, and just cracked the seal on 44 to watch it. I never have time for TV anymore with work, home, family, etc. Which isn't a bad thing, just what it is. But yeah, sounded and looked pretty good. I have the new SG but haven't watched that one yet either. I only listened to it while mowing lawn the weekend it came out. So many videos to watch, including some cool BTN ones. ;)

    Any chance of Wrigley 2, or not b/c of the rain? Possibly my favorite show, just because it was fun singing and dancing in said weather, last night in town, etc. (Possibly my last show ever? LOL) I might even rank it ahead of front row Mike in 2003.

    I didn't do Chicago.  It's possible but I don't have much film at this moment.  Seattle 2 and Missoula are for sure.  Hopefully there will be a new tour by time I finish these three.

    2000 was their best tour by far and I saw them every year from 95 to 04

    100%  that whole era of Lillywhite from 2000 to about 2004 was amazing.

    Did lillywhite turn into busted stuff? (I am far from a dmb expert).  
    But agree that 2000 was an awesome tour, I love playing those boots loud.

    Yes.  A few songs didn't make the final cut,  like Sweet up and down.  I prefer the lillywhite because we all heard that first when it leaked.  Plus the songs are a bit less polished,  more live like,  IMO. 

    My favorite is Live Trax 2, from 2000 in Connecticut.  Chock full of lillywhite and amazing cuts of the songs.

    I ll have to check that boot out.  Does bartender still make regular appearances in the set?  That song is definitely my favorite from that era.

    Hell yeah.  In Charlottesville last winter,  they opened with Big Eye Fish flowing into Bartender.  If you want anything at all,  hit me up.  I have basically everything.

    WH still has early entry, right? No issues in the past with early entry for me getting whatever I want. However, I've never done the Gorge and don't know how that works there. If the lines are crazy, I'm gonna wait until mid-show and see what they have left. I really should slow down with the merch anyway.

    I am intrigued by the email you mention though. I don't remember that from last time. Is that just for posters or all tour merch?
    AT like 515, they start handing out random numbers and do that until like 6 something.  And then they call the number and that person is first and then I think they go in order after that or something.  The point is, your chances are equal whether you're there at the crack of dawn up until the number hand out ends.  You'll get an email a few days prior with the details.  
    Kudos to DMB for implementing this system. Pearl Jam HQ should take note. This is the best way to handle GA for the majority of people involved: fans, venue, city, etc.
