Dallas venue announced

[Livia]

Smirnoff Music Centre. Ick. Parking garage, horrible sound! Blech. Maybe I'll skip Dallas.:shrug:

[wondergirl9847]

I was praying for Nextstage, as I've heard it's beautiful and I've not been there!!

:mad: BAH!!

Unless they do Red Rover....;)

LOL

[estranged4life]

The <b>Smirnoff Parking Garage</b> is the venue...What a Gawd-awful amphitheatre (If that is what it can be called).

am I the only one who's actually excited about the venue chosen for my city? i mean, granted, it's a shed, but it's not a bad one-- verizon wireless ampitheater in charlotte, nc.

i know the atlanta people are upset about the choice of chastain park too (even though i will be going to that show).

and for all you sex and the city watchers out there-- we are not all country bumpkins here in charlotte. :rolleyes:

Pretty much.

Camden, NJ---Tweeter Center.....BLECH.
Hershey, PA---Hershey Stadium...BLECH.

I'm told PNC is a nice place to see a concert in Holmdel so perhaps I'll go there instead of Hershey.

And yea...you're a total country bumpkin :laugh:

Nope. I'm glad they're coming to Mansfield, MA where the Great Woods Ampitheatre used to be; that's an alright one. But, then they're going to the Meadows in Hartford, CT...and that one sucks ass. :nod:

[Livia]

I'm thrilled about the Woodlands in Houston, I love that place!

:nod:

[DrummerDeanna]

As I have NO clue whatsoever where I'm going to be in May and beyond and what my job situation will be like I don't where to get excited about lol...I hope I get to see them at least once though!!!

[estranged4life]

I wished they would play here at the "Zoo Amphitheatre" (I havent been to the OKC Zoo in awhile) but since it isnt a real shed I very much doubt if they would return to OKC on this shed tour (Would be cool if they did however, Since it is a general admission venue.)

Me too, Merf! I like Verizon Wireless in Clt. Although at the last show I saw there (Sheryl Crow/Train in '02), the sound was really bad. But hopefully that was just a one time thing.

The worst thing about Chastain is the size. We're all going to be killing each other to get those good seats because there are so few of them. I'm talking blood splattered tambourines and neck-strangling scarves! :laugh:

I know, I'm totally unthrilled about this venue. I'm even more unthrilled that it's going to be out in the sticky, hot, blazing heat that will already be in full force by June!! I've never been to the Woodlands venue, what's it like?

32 seats in each row of the floor.... not great odds! :laugh:

But hey, since it's smaller, 10th row won't seem as far away as it does in the larger arenas I guess. I'm meeting a bunch of friends down there so I will have fun no matter where I sit :) I'm excited!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Well I'm not too upset about the Atlanta venue (Chastain)...I will definetely be there...I have some great memories there..I'm just stressing because I know how hard it is to get tix to moderately successful acts at Chastain, much less Fleetwood Mac...once I have my tix I will be ok, because it's an incredible place

If you think Dallas is bad, I don't recommend Houston in June!
The Woodlands is a typical outdoors place, but expect a long walk from where you park your car, plus the "lots" are small patches of grass that seem scattered anough to make you think you won't find your car once you leave. But then you do.

Sounds like The Backyard here in Austin.

Well, even though Smirnoff is my last choice of venues for Dallas, I'll still be there. Are you guys serious about skipping Dallas?

[Livia]

I've always parked on pavement at the Woodlands. Jake is right about the looong walk. But it's so pretty. Unlike the Backyard, which is directly on a highway, the Woodlands is surrounded by a forest. It's far enough from the city to see the stars. And it sounds 100 times better than Smirnoff (formerly the Starplex). I believe they also sell mixed drinks- which is important to non-beer lovers, like me.

I'm still undecided about Dallas.

:wavey:

I will be going to both Dallas and Houston. I wouldn't miss Houston for anything. The woodlands experience for me at TISL was magical. I loved everything including the walk and man that is some walk but it's truly beautiful. The crowd in Houston was much more lively than Dallas. But I couldn't bare to be home when Fleetwood Mac is playing in my city.

I agree with Brian J. I love the Zoo Amphitheater in OKC. I saw my first concert there in 1986. It's a neat place for a concert but I guess FM is just to big of an act to play there?!?

Houston adores Stevie! I loved how the crowd roared when she sang, "...outside of Houston..." in TFFT.

:D

the Mac is too big to play the Zoo Amphitheatre, Bob Dylan played there last summer and packed 'em in as did Korn (Among others). It would make for a great atmosphere for a show though...

I will, More-than-likely (Depending on if Debbie still has to take Chemo-treatments at the time, Which I am hoping will be finished before-hand), Travel to Dallas to see 'em at the Parking Garage at the Texas State Fairgrounds.

ME TOO ~ I loved that. TFFT is a favorite of mine. I know most of the board disagrees but I love it.

I like the song a lot, but I found Houston's reaction at the Woodlands pretty subdued. I was expecting more of a reaction to that line.

Does anyone know how good of a venue the Blossom Music Center is in Cleveland or Cayhugaha Falls to be more exact. It looks very likely that's where I'll be seeing the mac this time around. Is it a good venue. I like the fact it's in a National Park as oposed to a huge city, of course I ultimately prefer indoor arenas. And are there any actual waterfalls in Cayhugaaha Falls.

THANKS ALOT for the help guys :mad: :mad: :mad: it was great to not know anything about the venue I was buying from today. And I got crap. So I might not be going to the concert, so Thanks you guys were a big help. And this post might seem a little mean but who the hell cares, you guys can understand my frustration right.

PNC is a great place to see concerts. It's got a nice setup and nice sound system.

Sorry you have bad seats - Yes, I understand your frustration - but I don't believe that people here intentionally neglected to respond to your question. More likely nobody had the answer. I know I didn't. With all due respect, I find your hostility unwarranted. I hope you can get better seats.
