Terminal 5? RIP hopes of Brooklyn Steel return. At least it’s not the beacon though
Spafford is doing NYE there this year.
Lol wut? The Beacon is exponentially better than T5
I’m in for Newport, Columbus, Cleveland and AVL. Slowly creeping towards the 150 mark.

Call me a fucking nerd but I’m excited to spend some money on Umphrey’s tickets tomorrow!
We’ll see. Does it matter if it’s boomy as fuck and distorted?
Have they played T5 before?

I didn’t think so
Terminal West > all other “Terminal” venues
I see zero shows in the central time zone.

Aren’t they playing four Midwest dates this month?
But I feel your pain. No West Coast dates for the first three months of the year is rough. If I fly Southwest I have to take a travel day to make it to the East Coast which means another night in a hotel on top of a $300+ plane ticket. Makes each run a minimum of $600-700 for just the flight and lodging. That’s fine a few times a year but if your chasing a certain show count (answer: yes I am) and you want to get after it you need three weeks of West Coast tour, a Texas run, some festival dates, and several East Coast runs to pad those stats. I haven’t done 30+ in a year since 2017 and I was hoping to put the pedal to the metal in 2022. I still have the 25th Anniversary Tour in 2023 to look forward to (who is trying to do some permater on it with me?) so I’ll take what I can get next year just a bit bummed they aren’t coming closer until April at the earliest.
I wish they’d add an Orange Peel show to the Asheville run so I could see another birthday show. Maybe we can Bill Graham it for a day again and get ourselves a third show on the run. Anyone wanna pool some funds together to show to KB?

Yes by almost all accounts Detroit, Kentucky and Cleveland are “Midwest” but they are in the eastern time zone so I am going off that. There isn’t anything within a 10-12 hour drive of my house on this tour.
I really do feel for the west coast. You guys have gotten the ultimate shaft these past few years and if Umphrey’s doesn’t put together a massive west coast tour sometime in 2022 I’d get out my pitchfork.
I’d throw down for a BG style show again.
Dang 1000 capacity for Philly? I assume that’s a sell out, I won’t know til day of if I can sneak away. Hopefully some extras will be around.
What about that Jim Thorpe venue? Does that sell out? I really wanna go because it seems like they always play good shows there.
Nice. I wonder how receptive the band would be to it post pandemic since they are probably chomping at the bit to stack some cash.
I’m actually planning on relocating to Colorado after Northwest String Summit so I can position myself closer to more 2023 dates. There’s plenty of other reasons I want to move back to the Front Range but that is definitely up there as a main one.

Have always been able to get Sunday night in January shows for Penn’s Peak day of the show, or at the door. Great room, potentially tricky to get up the mountain if weather is bad.
Come to think of it during the pandemic it would have made a lot of sense. Limited capacity for social distancing and still make a full shows worth of revenue.
With NYE in Miami this year you can bank on NYE in Denver next year, so between Aspen, red rocks and NYE you get 9 or 10 shows in one state in a 10 month span
