Dallas Show...

I'm also curious what a good time to get there is to get up in the front. Someone mentioned tailgating....I've never been to this venue and haven't looked at it on a map yet, is there actually a large parking lot to tail gate in or is it smaller?

If I remember correctly, there is a rather large paved parking lot. I saw Wilco there, and I can't recall how early we got there but it was not a problem to get close to the stage. And that show was sold out, whereas this one is not (yet). I think if you just get there at the time the doors open or shortly before I can't imagine you'd have any problems. Unless you have to have your chest touching the stage, that is.  ;)

howdy fellas..

couple thoughts..

I also caught Wilco there and a couple other bands (both in the Ballroom and Loft) from experience..if you buy your tix from the box office its cheaper... The last show I caught there was RZA from the Wu-Tang..

I was SOOO pissed to find out that I could have bought my tixs for $20 cheaper in person!  >:(

live and learn I guess..

but with that you run the risk of being shut out..sold out..

There is a large parking area in the back that you can hang out in.. we hung out a little before the Wilco show but not for very long..

anyway! hope everyone has a good show!

I cant wait for Sat. to roll around..!!

hello.  there is a lot of unnecessary bitching about the palladium and too much unwarranted praise for GTR.  that place suuuuucked.  big crown in the floor, sound was hit or miss, always waaaaay oversold and just s'y in general.  palladium will be a great place to see the guys rock the s off your face.  


really wish i had known about getting tickets during other shows.  thanks for the tip, will use it in the future.

Anyone bring homemade signs/posters to the show? I made one but I did not know if those were allowed.

[jimmyjames]

please dont.  sight lines are already kind of limited.

[mymonkeyfriend]

i am not brining a sign, but wearing a homemade shirt. a group of us are getting there at 720, i must be up front. i think this show is going to rock, they always tear dallas up. and there is a rumor erikah badu may be joining them onstage for "tyrone"

[jimmyjames]

where did that come from?  the DMN had an article yesterday that JJ mentioned that he was a fan, but there was no reference to her joining them.

[mymonkeyfriend]

ok, i am slightly pulling that out of my ass. she said she was a huge fan, she will be at the show, and MMJ has a propensity to due spontaneous stuff. gonna have to take the vibe to lee harvey's after the show.

Well crap.  I just made a really long post about the Palladium and I included a link to the layout of the place.  But unbeknownst to me, you can't link to an active webpage on your first post (to avoid spammers, makes sense) so the whole thing got erased. Blah.

Short story:  Palladium sucks - huge room, short stage, terrible sightlines, but MMJ will kill venue be damned.  Hell, I'd go see them play in the men's room at a 7-11 if I had to!

Been there, done that. And it was awesome.
