THE DETROIT DOUBLE WHAMMY

[oistheone]

Nothing beats a Detroit double-down! I'll take any excuse I can get to return to this wonderfully underrated city.

These shows are in a great venue, directly after Bonnaroo and the band likely has days off both before and after. Seems like a recipe for something special!

Can't wait for this! Who else is in for a Motown throwdown?!?!

[RobRoy286]

Whoooooo!

I'll be there! I'm moving to Detroit in May or June so this is unbelievable to me! I thought they'd be doing 1 show at DTE or Rochester in like August, but TWO shows in the city right after I move? I am so excited.

And thanks for calling Detroit underrated. Great city.

my apartment is two blocks from the venue.  no doubt i'll be there.

That's awesome. My girl and I are actually looking at an apartment that is two blocks away I believe. How is it living there?

It's a beautiful part of the city, I absolutely love it. If you need any advice or have some questions feel free to ask, I'd be glad to help.

Thanks man! We should be in the city by June. We should meet up for the shows! Also - our primary apartment right now is Pasadena Towers, on Jefferson 4 blocks north of downtown. Any thoughts/suggestions on that?

Where you at Detroiters?

[RobRoy286]

I got upper balcony for night 1, gonna get floors for night 2.

Never been to Detroit before and I booked a room in an old mansion on airbnb and have GA for both nights.  I'm also flying solo at this point so prepare to meet me internet friends for what will surely be two magical nights of music. 

[RobRoy286]

So pumped. I decided this year to move away from my hometown (Kalamazoo) to downtown Detroit. So fitting that the lead single is called Big Decisions and that they're playing two shows just 5 minutes away from my new apartment. The cherry on top of a big year for me.

Looks like I'm not going to be making it to the big D now.  I've got a two day GA pass at will call if someone wants to go.  The ground control guy said I'd have to copy my ID and write a letter for someone else to pick them up that night.  Let me know

[RobRoy286]

I hope someone tapes this! Also I'd love to meet up with folks before the shows.

Well this is potentially great news if this is their new policy.

unfortunately, i've never seen a single taper at any of their detroit shows =/

[RobRoy286]

That's too bad. The few Detroiters here should rally for the shows to be up on livedownloads

[RobRoy286]

Anyone trying to request anything for spontaneous curation?

[oistheone]

I have been thinking about what I'll attempt to Spontaneously Curate for these shows, and after eliminating the impossible (Friends Again), I think I'll settle on Twilight. This song has escaped me for the last five years. NOT ANYMORE!!!

[RobRoy286]

Why is Friends Again impossible?

[oistheone]

They haven't played it in five years and have shown absolutely no signs of ever removing it from the doghouse. I've requested it every single time I've had the chance and even asked Patrick why it never gets played. He said one doesn't know why some songs get in the doghouse, but once they're there, sometimes it can be hard to escape. I've pretty much given up hope.

[RobRoy286]

At this point I'm just looking forward to hearing the Waterfall tunes live. Everything else will just be a bonus.

[robb]

that answer for me will always be just because i do, until i get it.  otherwise, closer to the realm of possibility i'm hoping for where to begin and/or strangulation.
