I hope to make it for this one !

When we met, many years ago and you'd come party at the checkered palace, this song had just come out a year or so before Being that I lived so close to College & Spadina, we'd often go see Days of You at the Silver Dollar or Comfort Room. And you'd "get on the bus, the Spadina Bus" Over 25 years ago now brother !

For anyone else that is STILL waiting for your tickets to arrive. http://gdtstoo.com/GDTSTOOupdate.html

Agreed ! Jay, you have given a lot to this community and kicked down free tix to me in the past. If you want/need a ticket for the Dark Star Orchestra REX benefit at the Vic Theatre on July 2nd, I have an extra that I'd love to pass on to you. Let me know and we can meet up in Chicago. I'm staying at the Crowne Plaza. My tix will be waiting for me at will call.

Thanks Phorbesie Do you know how your friend got in touch with GDTS TOO ? The automatic email reply is still on and no one has replied to my messages. Does anyone have a phone number? I'm impatient... The deadline to return any tickets is June 22nd (not that I want to return them), and I leave for Chicago 2 weeks from tomorrow

Nice one ! I'm happy for you & jealous at the same time. I called home to TO last night and mine are still not there. Sent GDTSTOO an email and got a reply that they won't be answering emails and providing tracking numbers for priority postage orders. WTF...I have no idea what courier service they are using, if/when they were sent, no way to track the order, and not a damn thing i can do on the other side of the world. Did you do priority mail Phorbesie? Or regular mail? Anyone else still waiting on their mail order tix?

I just tried the link & apparently not. Sometimes Vimeo will work. It really depends on the hotel I'm staying at. This trip, I'm mostly at the Intercontinental in Shanghai which has good internet for the most part. Here I can use google & check my gmail account (rare in China), but YouTube won't work. I was told by a couple of Americans that I met here to purchase a VPN and I should get access to everything. Don't know anything about VPN's though. I'll have to wait until I get to Taiwan next week. There it's not an issue.

The video is blocked here in China I guess the Chinese aren't big Phil & Friends fans !? Sometimes videos that are unaccessible here on YouTube, but are embedded on jambands are available, but not this time. I need to get me one of those VPN's for the amount of time I spend here in this country.

awesome ! I cannot pass up the DSO - Rex benefit show on July 2nd, but I do have 3 tix for the Kimock & Jerry Joseph brunch at City Winery on the 3rd. I might have some DSO extras if anyone is in need for the 2nd.

I don't know if The Trip is on Netflix or not, but it is a very funny BBC series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trip_(2010_TV_series) Looking forward to finding the second series.

I paid the $35 USD to have my tickets sent by priority mail. Guessing that your friend wishes they had done the same. I wasn't taking any chances with over 3 grand worth of tickets. Still don't know if mine have arrived yet ::sigh::

Same here, after sending in over 3K CAD !

It's all yours RobL Have at `er

PM sent

If you don't want to spend $700, you can pre-order the condensed version with one song from each year on iTunes.

I know it's only the 2nd of June, but tix are supposed to mailed out this month. I've been in China for the past week and don't come home until the 26th. I can't access my gmail account here, so have no idea if emails have been sent out regarding the mailing of tickets. I still have no idea where my seats are located, when the tickets will be sent out, etc. It's one month today that the fun begins in Chicago. Has anyone heard anything recently from GDTSTOO ? I'll be in a major panic if I get back and there's no envelope waiting for me. Having said that, is anyone going to the Weir World "pre-shows" at City Winery with musical host Jonathan Wilson? My plan was to hit up the DSO show on July 2nd, but the City Winery event looks like a lot of fun !! http://weirworld.citywinery.com/ There's way too much going on that weekend

damn...and they tour the world ! Maybe I'll go check them out in Shanghai on June 19th How was the Hamilton show?

Did you mean Mark? Cause Andrew is a Barr. I'm confused...

Do you really give a shit what others think anyway? I sure as hell don't. i bought some Blake Shelton and Dierks Bentley the other day off iTunes To each their own btw...I also own some Dave Matthews albums

Jack White is the man ! Glad I caught him in Istanbul for the Lazaretto Tour JACK WHITE ANNOUNCES FINAL ACOUSTIC SHOWS FOLLOWING COACHELLA HEADLINING PERFORMANCES After many years of performing in a multitude of configurations, Jack is announcing that he will be taking a break from performing live for a long period of time. To cap off the Lazaretto world tour, and following his pair of headlining performances at Coachella, Jack will embark on a short acoustic tour of the only five states left in the U.S. that he has yet to play. The states these shows are occurring in will be unannounced until the day of each performance. Joining Jack on his jaunt across these locations will be musicians making up an acoustic quartet, including Fats Kaplin, Lillie Mae Rische and Dominic Davis. The shows will be totally acoustic and amplified only with ribbon microphones to the audience as well. These shows will be the very first totally acoustic full concerts Jack has ever done. Each special acoustic performance will be announced day of show at 8am local time. Tickets for these engagements are priced at $3 per ticket and will be limited to one ticket per person. All tickets will be sold at the venue door starting at 12pm local time on the day of the show – first come, first served and cash only.

this is a KILLER version of Cowgirl In The Sand
