Hey All,

Long time since I've been a part of the board..... anyhow, you are all in for an amazing treat on the 21st. The sound at the Empire is fantastic in the ORCH section, however, the further back you are in the balcony, the worse it gets due to the low ceiling back there. I saw Dickey Betts there a couple of weeks ago and the sound in the second row just about blew my head off. I know a few of us Bellevillians got tixs. Me and 3 other people I know got them. I unfortunately got row L (my buds are in B and C) but no matter where you sit, you can't complain. My comp. started to freeze when I got on and went in to a panic deciding if I should refresh. I do know 2 people that got booted out and didn't score any. Fortunately though, I've been to many small venue shows over the years, and they definitely are better. I've got to the selfish point where I'll only see them in the smaller venues. The best of them all had to be the Ferry Boat in Vermont during the IVL Tour. I still can't get that one out of my head.

To answer the Hip in Belleville, question is yes. From what I heard, they used to play an outside patio called the "Rumrunner" back in the early days (86-87), now called the "Funky Carp".

Enjoy the show folks and I'll see ya on the 21st :thumb:

I think that I have been to that outside spot down near the water a couple of years back. Pretty good time, cover band, and I am pretty sure they played NOIS or Blow at High Dough. I have a friend from Canifton, and I have visited her a couple times there.
I am actually going to the David Reed show at the Empire this Friday. I am really interested to check out the Empire and the sound. Should be great.

Needless to say, it will likely be their last show in Belleville. Rob Baker did tell me that they plan to play Picton someday, but, I'm guessing that will be when they reach the seniors tour.

summer of 86 was at the wheelhouse

Anyone have an extra ticket?
I just got the time off work and I will come out early for the 21st show if I can get a ticket. Anyone?

Yeah if you had found out just a couple of days earlier, I had one (actually two) for you. Sorry!

I am hoping too!

I did not think I could get the extra days since I am going to be there for the fort york shows etc.

So here is to hope, faith and a little bit of luck!
