I do remember that comment being mentioned. We all just thought he meant, not til 2013.
I have already begun to accept the fact there will be either no spring tour. Or a very different
scenario than any of us expected. Maybe a couple NYC dates, and then some festivals.
I do hope I'm wrong. And I absolutely believe there will be a summer tour. But will it be earlier
summer, because of no spring tour? Or later in the summer, like past years?

Still thinking about Mountain jam. Car camping passes are going fast. I guess I better commit,
or forget about it altogether.

Lots to think about.

It's getting to be that time of year where you have to take a gamble as to what direction you are going to take for the summer!

They might make it earlier in the summer because of the heat. At the last two summer shows in Philly the temperature was around 100 degrees.

i want to do Mountain Jam to but can't plan anything without knowing what else is gonna happen at that time. I might want a weekend pass if nothing but only go 1 day if Phil is going to be playing elsewhere...


edit - I will definitley be at Mountain Jam for at least the day Phil is there

I could see doing a day pass at Mountain jam. But like you said, it's too hard to plan for, right now.

If no Spring Tour there has to be a summer, but they should make it early summer because it gets just too hot sometimes lol

once it gets into the 90s/100s and the lots don't have shade and they aren't offering to hose us down, it gets ridiculous. i walked into the mann center with 4 water bottles last year. i had to refill all 4 at setbreak and no piss necessary, i sweat it all out.

post show though, if the breeze is there, it is a really sublime feeling. like emerging from a sweat lodge.

anyways, it's for these exact reasons i am and have always been a fall tour guy. i like mild weather for shows.

Think of how hot it is on stage under those lights.

we all know that phil would not come east just for 1 show at Mountain Jam. Phil did say, "thanks for sticking with us, we played the stright thing through. today is that sad day, its our last night in NY for awhile, sad to see this come and i think we gave you a arousing farewell. BUT WE WILL BE BACK.

I hear everyone on the summer festivals...I'd love to switch my schedule around and go to different shows but I also come back to the Vibes for one reason only....the ocean. It may not be a shower but hanging in the ocean for a couple of hours does the trick!

Bonnaroo to b announced on the 19th I think.........
