Can't wait!    We've been waiting for this run since the summer shows and now they're just about here. 

Ale House it is.     

[parkervb]

so no recording at these shows....

we may never get T5, but I have a great feeling on this...

[Stevie]

So the no-taping policy...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means either:

A.  The audio will be available for purchase sometime after the shows have concluded.
B.  They will be offering a live stream for purchase (and probably also A as well).
or
C.  They will record all 4 nights and use some or all of the material to make a new Okonokos type of live album. 


Any other possibilities?

[itrainmonkeys]

I hope they record all 4 nights and release them. Still waiting on T5 but will be happy with this as well. Such a big fan of quality audio from shows you've attended.

Can't believe this is this week. I'm not fully prepared. I need to refresh my mind and get ready.

Dude- can I grab these. I will be at all four but these are for my buddy and his dad. Let me know. I can meet you before any/ after any of the shows this week.

[shepherdspy]

Is anyone familiar with the security at the Beacon?   Do they do pat-downs?

[RastaRunner5]

I would imagine security will be tight... it used to be lax for Allman Bros back in the day but times are different. Security will be tight and will be welcome.

[panack]

I think security was pretty much non-existent for Sturgill Simpson there a couple months ago. Could be different for MMJ though.

[itrainmonkeys]

Any word on a poster/designer yet? Will they do one each night?

D. video?

i think there's been some devastatingly awful developments in the last few weeks that would cause a difference in security vs what band is playing.

I think C & D are most likely. When they sell audio, they don't always prohibit taping at those shows. In fact, I don't even think they know which shows will get a release via Nugs until after.  As far as a live stream, they'd probably already have announced it to maximize purchases.

Totally agree Parker. Hell, it seems the whole city has ratcheted up security since those awful happenings last week. I'd expect the Beacon to have security measures in place, and it might make for a slower entry but I've got no problems with that. In fact I'd welcome it.

Just a heads up for anyone coming without tix to any of the shows.....be VERY leery of scalpers outside. Fakes are rampant, and I've seen people getting scammed, turned away, getting taken for their money at just about every show I've been to there recently. Same with MSG.

If you do think about it,at least get them to walk you to entry. If they make up some excuse why they can't, walk away. DO NOT  buy that ticket! You might as well just give the guy your money for talking to you because that's all you'll be getting for your money.

Probably right. Although I've been to two shows post-Paris at smaller clubs in NYC and security was no different than it had ever been (i.e., non-existent).

Will we be able to light up in the Beacon?

[oistheone]

Wonder if i'll have any trouble getting a camera in...

[itrainmonkeys]

Will we be able to light up in the Beacon?

I'm sure where you are sitting and how rowdy the show is getting will play a factor. Not sure....most of the Beacon shows I've seen have been calmer/sit-down affairs without much in the way of distractions.
