So, what am I going to do? I guess I'm going to take my shot at getting tickets to the Ryman show. If I'm successful, I can decide whether or not to make my inaugural appearance at the Jam and see them twice. If I'm unsuccessful, I still have the Jam to fall back on. I've never known the event to sell out, so my odds here are good. I have that in my back pocket. I could very easily go from never having attended a Black Crowes show to seeing them twice in two days, and making my first trip to my hometown's music festival in the process. For the rest of you needing to plan your trip, here is the full run of dates:

surely there will be more dates to come

dang, i'd really like to see them but i have boycotted that bank boston pavilion. honestly, it's not a bad venue as far as sight lines go, but it's always full of people drinking, yakking, and doing everything else but watching and listening. you've heard me speak of the place. it was where Gillian Welch opened for Nora Jones and had to beg the crowd to be quiet. sad.
still, i'm tempted....

that's not the pavillon's fault. you need to boycott humanity. The Crowes should be loud and most of the fans stoned, so talking should be to a minimum.

Bicho, this is the first leg. There will be more, I'm almost positive.
Yeah, Mark, you'll get a contact high for sure. I'm (probably) boycotting the festival and putting my hopes on a trip to Nashville. Finally someone good comes to Huntsville and I'm still going to Nashville. That's kind of fucked up.
I am eager to hear the new albums.

see, this is the problem for somebody like me: i wear earplugs at shows, which unfortunately allows me to hear the yammering. though hmmm...though yeah, the weed might keep 'em quiet.
heck, i don't even own War Paint. maybe today...

Warpaint is an exceptional album that received rave reviews from the two critics who listened to it before reviewing it (in other words, listen to Bicho and I and ignore Maxim).

I also reviewed it and liked it.
