Thanks. Looks like fun.

The Philly show is part of the annual Reggae in the Park festival, with Jamaican food vendors, etc. Children under 12 can enter for free. Should be an awesome event. I'll be there!

Asbury Park is a smaller venue with no seating so I prefer that over the Mann in Philly as far venue's go. Asbury Park is a bit closer but knowing the Philly show is part of a festival plus being a Saturday, I think I'll try to get tickets in Philly.

Good point, Kevin. I've been wanting to check out a show at the Stone Pony Summer Stage, but haven't gotten there yet. I'm also not a big fan of the reserved seats at the Mann, which is why I always go for the lawn seats. Of course, that means that I'm always further away from the stage.

Wow, I use to see blues bands at the Cabooze when I lived in Minnesota in the 80's

I also believe that is a holiday weekend. Traffic heading to\from the shore may be heavier then traffic going into Philly. NYC is still an option too. Decisions desicions.......

Tickets go on sale Friday morning at 10am. Presale tomorrow at 10am. I am there as well!!

I'm thinking the 8 hr drive to Denver may be worth it, even though I'll be in Negril the next month. Something about Colorado and reggae just go hand in hand though.... ;)

Same here. I used to go see bands at The Cabooze in Minneapolis in 84 & 85 when I lived there! This should be a great show with the Marley's

Got my tickets for the Philly show. Anyone else going?

Stone Pony are a bunch of crooks. When I was there a few years ago, security was confiscating everyone's Sub materials and throwing it in a trunk of a car parked at that side. That really happened.

Another Minneapolitan here. This will be an outdoor show. I've got my tix, gonna be fun!

One of the reasons I opted for Philly over Stone Pony is because Philly has decriminalized. Worst that can happen is you get a ticket with a relatively minor fine.

somebody going to the santa barbara bowl? :) i am there ;)

Maine State Pier, anyone?

YaMon,

The missus and I just bought tickets for the Maine show. Gives us a chance to take a little vacation and stop in and see my parents over the labor day weekend. Looking forward to both Reggae and Maine seafood!! It is over five long months before we get back to Negril, so this gives us something to look forward to before then.

TedP

TedP.... Might see you there! Hoping my brother can make it down from Bangor for the festivities. Thinking of booking the Hampton Inn just down the street. I've never been to a show on the pier, curious to see how it all works! :D excited for some live Marley-s and friends!

does anybody know why i can't buy the tickets for the santa barbara bowl on ticketmaster.com? every time when i try to order, there is shown the followin: We were unable to process your request. Try again later.
is it sold out? that would be so sad :(:(:(

edit: it worked now :)

Tour starts today in Philly...Anyone going to the Mann?

Going to the Boston show! Can't wait.

Im heading down to the Maine St. Pier also. Saw Etana there last summer and it made me think of the old Negril Escape shows... expect it to be super loud and tight as its a real narrow venue. Im actually not going to get a ticket- trick is just head to the top floor of the parking garage. Perfect view and sound- its usually a big party up there! Have fun all. Cant wait for Tarrus!!!

Just got tickets and accommodations for Minneapolis show on Sept 12, now the count down starts. I am so excited!!
