My husband and I were worried that they were not going to come this year
You can’t imagine how excited I am to see this. They always have a great show, and I can’t wait to be there watching such an amazing band play.
Too bad Riverport is a complete sewer with the most pathetic traffic circulation of any venue in the area…
I’ve seen them 4 times at Riverport & last year at Busch Stadium…….always a good show.
I would love to see Dave, but I’m not willing to sit in traffic for 3 hours at Verizon. That place was designed by a retard.
The traffic wouldn’t be that bad if we could tailgate. It would be like Alpine, tailgate before and after. Either way a must see for Music lovers.
I’ve seen DMB several times at Riverport, and have enjoyed the shows, regardless of the traffic. I don’t see anyone complaining about traffic at Busch, the dome, or Scottrade. Quit whining, Riverport has been in the same location for years, and you choose now to get on your soapbox.
just stay at home.
Interesting that Coffin is still touring with them as Roi’s “replacement”… While he’s a great talent and an asset to the band’s live performance, I hope he doesn’t abandon his role with the Flecktones to stay with DMB permanently. :-
Riverport is awful, no tailgating is a joke and traffic is a mess. I’m somewhat suprised more bands don’t skip STL (ala Jimmy Buffett) due to the no tailgating rule.
DMB is a great show however.
Remember several years ago when Dave would do 2 nights in a row? Can we hope?
I saw DMB last summer at Busch Stadium and it was fabulous. I also saw them 3 times at Riverport in the past. I will NOT by any means go see him again at Riverport. The parking is an absolute joke. I can’t justify spending good $$$ to spend just as much time in the parking lot as I do in the concert. I will run to the ticket office when he returns to other venues in St. Louis, but will avoid Riverport at ALL costs.
