That's a blow for potential additional NY area or Camden 2 concert

Agreed. With them playing 9/10, 9/11, 9/14, and then 9/16 thru 9/18. I doubt they add any more shows that week. 

I still think they will play somewhere on 9/13

Ideally Jones Beach, UBS or Uniondale. 19 years since their last visit on Long Island.

I'd like to see them go back to Uniondale and play Bu$hleaguer again and see what type of reaction it gets this time around.

When was the last time they played 3 shows in a row? Hopefully Nashville doesn’t take a hit fri night. 

It was probably back in 2003 when they played 3 straight nights multiple times that tour.  I see you were at the show in Birmingham that year on that frigid night almost 19 years ago to this very day.  It does not get that cold very often in the deep south in April.  It was my second show ever and first as a 10C member.  I joined immediately after my first show in Atlanta in 2000.  Great show that night in Birmingham with Go as an opener.  I see you went to Atlanta as well in 2003.  Great show as well.  Played Crown of Thorns which at the time was I think only the second time it had been played.  I also bought tickets for Nashville that year but was not able to make it.  I see you were there.  The bootleg was good.  They played Bu$hleaguer that night during all the controversy surrounding it. They also tagged Betterman with "Wild Thing!  You make my heart sing!" which was cool to me.  I really hope I can get a ticket to Nashville this year.  When they originally went on sale it was not a good time for me at all.  I had no job, no money, and three small children to support.  That's all behind me now and really hope I get to go.  I got tickets to Vegas though and can't wait.  It's amazing what 19 years does.  I had horrible seats in Atlanta in 2003 with no seniority, I was practically back in the lawn section to now getting row A on the floor in the reserved section in Vegas.  I guess all those people that were ahead of me in 2003 have just moved on to other things and let their 10C membership lapse.

Will be fascinating to see how these shows play out. 

Wife is a huge Elle king fan. 

Sat VIP up to 249+fees now.

Really great lineup but everyone who I would want to see is on different days.

Saw crowded house last night to open their tour. Liam plays lead and Elroy is on drums in their Dreamers line up. 

Amazing show. Age just does not affect the great Neil finn. 

Not a big fan of Liam’s voice.  I downloaded the new album and can here the Liam influence.  Not bad but just not a fan. Excited to see Crowded House though.  Saw them at the Ryman a while ago.  

Yeah… this current CH era is not my favorite, I saw the ‘07-‘16 incarnation live several times and it was amazing, this one is good (at least per the filmed show they released from their 2021 tour), but it’s a bit sterile.

For those who have gone, recommendations on lodging? Do you airbnb? And, if so, any particular areas? Hotel reccommondations? 
Thank you!

Went for EV a few years back. Stay Downtown near 4th St (I believe). a great downtown area. I think I stayed at Seelbach (Hilton). Great location. The Brown hotel is supposed to be nice too. Lot's of things to walk to (Louisville slugger, food, entertainment, etc). 

One suggestion for transportation to the festival...It's not that far from downtown (5-10 miles). I suggest driving yourself, if you can, or maybe shuttles? We did an Uber to the festival. After the shows the Uber line was a mile long (hours in wait time). we ended up walking back (not easy) and got lucky catching a cab with some other pedestrians walking. Maybe they've figured out/improved the transportation issue but I would drive next time.

It’s not the same location as the 2017 fest.  

There appear to be a decent number of hotels within walking distance to the festival, am I wrong? Maybe not the most happening part of Louisville, but in terms of not having to worry about parking or getting to the show, seems like some decent options.
