The Tapings / Chicago 2008 and 2015

Last post by hlawyer - Nov 07, 2025, 09:37 PM

Hey, do you guys happen to know about the Chicago theatre shows from 2008 and up 2015 because I started listening to them since 2008 and Evil Urges Was when I First got into them. I heard that all 5 of those shows were good. I know night 2 and 3 of 2015 have surfaced but night 3 is a broadcast and is incomplete. Night 1 of 2015 is missing and we need both 2008 Chicago shows. I hope you guys have any info about whether or not of how they will be released and which website. Thanks.

Coming back to this after some years, and wishing I could have seen the limited screening of the 4K edition of Okonokos.

Give us both nights in full!

VIP was not worth it this year except for Red Rocks and Knoxville. they should do away with the useless swag and just guarantee better seats in seated venues for those who buy VIP. for GA venues, just let all OBF members in early at no extra cost.

Thanks for posting this prickly_pete.
Spot on.  The small black bag they gave out was the only useful swag, I stuck my poster tube in it and hung it on the cup holders, lol. Needless to say, not quite worth the 125% or so markup from regular face. It seemed a bit out of place for them, since we all know how much they value the fans and experience.
 
Some of my favorite posters are the previous recent VIP (band signed upside down girl, RR (2023?) mountaintop wizard in diff colors).

We've done VIP over the years for various bands, mostly to get the best seats, but also for the meet and greet chances and swag.  We've had some really good fun with it over the years.  We sat front row center for Jon Batiste literally a couple of weeks ago, and got to meet him which was really cool.

We've had some good MMJ VIP experiences over the years, and of course there was Roll Call which was awesome.  This year's MMJ VIP deal definitely got us some good seats, but we can't even give away the goodies (except for the rolling trays), and we have plenty of them (10 from Louisville plus 2 from Newport - we skipped getting them in Atlanta).

A couple 25th anniversary shows for 'At dawn' and a few other random shows and festivals.  I assume there are some Jim solo tours to go along with carls solo dates.

The Shows / Tour 2026

Last post by logan5ive - Nov 06, 2025, 01:57 PM

The band has already said there would be limited dates for next year, "We're going to tour next year, rest assured, but it will be somewhat limited."

Only 3 shows have been announced so far. What else should we expect? Just more festival dates? Maybe a run of shows in Louisville again?

Here's what we have so far:
April 18 - High Water Festival, N. Charleston, SC
May 7-9 - Viva El Gonzo, San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico
July 22-26 - FloydFest26, Check, VA

Yes, it was a total waste this year.

Agreed.

I totally agree.  I didn't think it was worth it at all, and most likely will not opt for it again unless it is much more like 2021 as you mentioned above.

On another note, I'd say One Big Family is totally worth it for the live stuff that they post.  I hope there is another fan designed shirt next year though...
