I'm hoping for a Bowie cover. Jim has the voice for so many songs - Fame, Golden Years, Space Oddity - any of them really. Under Pressure would kick ass. Or imagine a Jim solo acoustic Starman. So many options.

Maybe we luck the fuck out and get a "Candyman" cover since that Dead Tribute Album is coming out around the same time??

Who knows!!

This would be fantastic!!!

I know we've got someone coming from Australia and someone coming from Sweden.

Yes, flight prices are not much better from Indy.  I pulled the plug on this show months ago, due to airfare.

How far of a drive is it for you?  With the price of gas right now we are happily making the trek from Wisconsin which is about 15 hours to Denver.  With the holiday weekend you may be able to squeeze it all in.  Just sayin!

I'm driving from Iowa City.  About 12 hours to a friend's family cabin, which is about 90 minutes from Red Rocks.  Probably leaving Thursday afternoon, grabbing a cheap motel about halfway, then arrive early afternoon Friday.  I-80 > I-76 West = easy way...

1100 miles from Indy, doable but...gonna settle for the 2 Louisville and 1 Indy shows this time around.  Safe travels!

1,155 miles for us from central Kentucky out to Red Rocks (about 17 hours). We're planning on stopping Friday somewhere in Kansas (about 12 hours into it) and finish the last 5 hours on Saturday to get us to our Lakewood/Denver hotel for Saturday and Sunday nights. On the way back home, we'll probably stay at the same small town Kansas hotel (if we liked it enough) and stop in Saint Louis for another night on Tuesday (check out downtown and the Gateway Arch). My wife doesn't drive, so I'll be behind the wheel for the duration. Wish us luck.

That's a long, flat drive on 70.  Good call stopping in St. Louis!

I drove Louisville-Denver in a day last summer. It was not fun. Haha, but it appears that I'll be doing the same thing in about 48 days!!!!!!!!

Mr. White

Thanks for all the good luck wishes for our road trip out west. My car is a 2013 Mazda 3. It gets real good gas mileage. I just hope everything goes smoothly for us, and we don't have any breakdowns or unforeseen problems.

Whoa!  I thought you bailed because of snow days pushing the school year further into May.  You must have received some relief.  Great to hear you're going to make it after all!!! :thumbsup:

Well we will have be in the country for 2 weeks by show time so technically were only traveling the 4 1/2 hrs from NYC. It will be a somewhat bizarre feeling not having jet lag for this upcoming Jacket experience!

And yes, brews will be had!!!
