Interesting... this has me reconsidering my pipe dream. I suppose I could hit up the Albany show instead. I'd save myself about four hours each way driving.

This would be a lot easier if they just tossed on a couple more northern tour dates. But I expect those will come with time.

I think you might enjoy yourself more at a smaller venue, even if it is crowded. My main beef with the elec factory show was that that venue is larger than most they play. I think they tried to fill the whole place with their sound, but their style and sound doesn't lend itself well to larger venues, IMHO. It just sounded waaay too loud and muddy and gross. It made me sad.

However, I have seen them 2 other times at smaller venues and had a blast both times. Their sound was the perfect volume (still loud enough to be awesome but not all muddied up) and the crowds were fun and intimate. Funny you should mention the Albany show, that's the one I'm going to. I saw them in Troy, NY at the now defunct Revolution Hall a couple of years ago and it was one of my fav shows ever. There had to be less than 200 people there, and dr dog put on a great show.

gaah, my bad.  For some reason I thought the Electric Factory was a little smaller.  I don't remember it holding over 2500.  So yeah, that's not a small club at all.

I know the Baltimore show on the 17th is not sold out since I just bought our tickets today, but the Philly show on the 24th might be soldout by now, not sure about the 25th.

Not sure if you guys are cheesesteak people, or if you prefer fancier fare, but you should check out my hood for the best damn cheesesteak in the city.

We are.  What are the best places?  I've had Luke's and Jimmy's as well as some smaller bar ones....Maybe you can recommend a spot for Saturday day.  I think we're hitting Paesano's for lunch on Sunday and Pumpkin for dinner.

I live a block from Pat's & Geno's, but their steaks are shit. The best is Cosmi's (8th & Dickinson).

Fantastic call on Paesanos. I'm right down the street from their 9th street spot. Try the sandwich with brisket... can't remember the name.

IDK.  I like my cheese steaks with Whiz, particularly spicy whiz if they have it.  I do provolone as well.

O, maybe it was just bad luck the time I went, but I did not have a good time seeing them at the electric factory. They cranked it up to 11 at that show... couldn't distinguish the instruments from each other... too many people there... couldn't walk around with a beer in my hand... just didn't have a good time there.

This is my fear.  I'm planning on seeing them this Wednesday in Mobile at a pretty small place.  I know it's going to be super crowded (which I hate) plus I won't be home until probably 1:30 am on weeknight.  I rarely stay up past 10 on weeknights so I'm trying to convince myself to just suck it up and deal.

I wish I could fly down there and punch you in the ball sac

Just got my ticket.  That'll save you a trip down here to punch me in the area that my ball sac used to be..   ;D

don't be boners... their show on Friday night here in louisville was awesome. they're better everytime I see them! No Big Girl, which was one of the two I wanted to see really badly from the new record (though I love the whole thing) The other one I wanted to see was Heavy Light, and not only did they play it, but they extended a middle jam session. really cool! great show! it was packed, though...
