Thu 06/24/04 Fresno, CA Save Mart Center

Sat 06/26/04 Concord, CA Chronicle Pavilion @ Concord

Sun 06/27/04 Marysville, CA Sleep Train Amphitheatre

Does anybody know what major cities these shows are near? I am really going to try and hit one of them.

They're all in Central/Northern California.

Marysville is a bit north of Sacramento.

Concord is a bit northeast the Berkeley area.

Fresno is southeast of San Jose, northeast of San Luis Obispo.

Concord is a few miles away from San Francisco, the other two cities are each about an hour and a half from SF, if that gives you an idea of where they are.

[WelshWitchPMD]

Thanks, Les and Diamondsnake. That gives me some kind of clue. Time to look up Southwest.com.

Brian, are there any arenas in OK that they might play? Maybe Tulsa? That would be great for me too because Southwest actually serves that city from Providence.

OKC has the "Cox Business BlahBlahBlah Center" (aka-"The Myriad", and it ALWAYS will be the Myriad in my eyes) right across the street (Quite literally) from the Ford Center. Another venue would be the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman (Which would be hilarious because of the infamous "Lindsey" street highway signs around Norman...Hey Gerald/Shackin'up, Ya remember those big signs right? LOL!!!) but I wouldnt mind seeing the Mac play the Zoo Amphitheatre at the OKC Zoo.

Tulsa has the Maxwell Convention Center but as long as FM doesnt play the Tulsa Fairground Pavilion (I used to see shows there in the 80's-90's and from what I remember it wasnt the greatest arena). I wouldnt mind seeing 'em in my ol' backyard. I doubt they could play at the ORU Mabee Center since "Stevie is a witch" but the "Riverparks Amphitheater" would be cool.

Wow! Great news for us Northern California fans!

Welsh Witch, Concord is a beautiful mid -size amphitheater 40 miles east of San Francisco. It holds 12,500 people. Stevie always plays there on her solo tours. It's a great venue. The Oakland Airport is like 30 miles away, but it is on the Bart Train. Bay Area Rapid Transit.

Marysville is a northern suburb of Sacramento, which is 90 miles east of Sacramento. This is a pretty new venue. All seats are outdoors, there is no pavilion covering the seats. This one is a bit bigger than Concord.

Finally, Save Mart Center is a new 15,000 seat indoor arena on the Fresno State University campus. Fresno is 185 miles southeast of San Francisco, my hometown! I hope to see all three shows!

Does anyone familiar with the area know which of these concerts in Cali will have the lowest turnout or i.e. "good seats popping up a few days before the concert" so I can get a good shot at close seats? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I would say either Marysville or Fresno. Concord is in the middle of the Bay Area which is highly populated. Marysville and Fresno are definitely more out in the middle of nowhere.

I am planning to go to all three and I'm excited that the Fresno show is indoors.

[jadegypsy]

Lowest turnout, probably Fresno or Marysville, although I remember Arco (in Sac) tixs went quick. The Concord one will be packed and expensive (I wanted to see the Eagles there, but at $150 for second level back seats (think second tier in arena I said NO).
Relative distances: Concord, very colse to SF.
Marysville at least 90min from SF, however Sacramento does have an airport that SW flies into and then you are only about 30-45 min away.
Fresno, really really far, think Yosemite, and in the middle of nowhere. Not one where you fly into SFO and then drive.
You can use mapquest.com to get a better idea of where these places are.

Just a note Fresno will be miserable in the summer, about 90+ with lots of humidity. Concord will probably be cool, so bring jackets, and Marysville if like Sacramento will be warm and possibly humid. Sounds fun doesn't it.

[SpyNote]

It's good that they are hitting some other areas. I would not say either of the No. Cal shows are easy to get to from San Francisco...both are long, boring drives. But fortunately, those shows are on the weekend, so traffic will be lighter.

Fresno is half way to Los Angeles, a 3.5 hour drive from San Francisco.

[WelshWitchPMD]

Ok If I do decide to go and if I can go which airport (That Southwest serves) is closest to these citites where the venues are located?
Sacramento, Oakland or San Jose?

Any info would help this New Englander.
