RainDogToo Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 me too, but i doubt itHey, you never know, he might show up there! I know for a fact he is not coming to Virginia. So, my chances of seeing him rely on his coming to D.C. which is 3 hrs away. Other than that I may be able to see him if he decides to come to Philadelphia or New York. I grew up close to both cities and I still have all my family living close by between them both! I got to see Wilco once back in 2004. I saw Bob Dylan last year... Tom Waits is the only one of must sees to see live! I must see this man before he or I leaves this earth! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Having him perform near you is only one hurdle. Getting tix will be another challenge. As I recall, last time around these were harder-than-hell tickets to get. I was lucky enough to score 2. All tix were will-call which worked out extremely well for everyone except the scalpers. It was a great show, and I definitely want to see him again. But I'm not sure I can be so lucky to score tix this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blue_94_trooper Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Who's handling the ticketing and when do they go on sale? The last tour, at mostly similar venues, was on Ticketmaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyjimmy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 "Pescajumba. Say it with me."Ok."Pescajumba". Of note to all: Knoxville box office says tix will be $85 bucks.No info as of yet when they will actually go on sale. Columbus could not verify prices or a sale date at this time.

jff Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Tour - Fox TheatreSaturday, July 5, 2008 @ 9:00 PMAtlanta, US YES!! Bigger venue than last time, and the nicest venue I've ever been to. The Fox is...BY A HUGE MARGIN...the best thing in Atlanta. Hopefully those dates have not been debunked by the official press conference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbama Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I couldn't ask for better dates. Mobile and Birmingham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Any news on who he'll have in his band? I'm assuming these aren't going to be solo shows. According to this, it looks like Marc Ribot will not be part of the Waits tour. http://www.marcribot.com/tour.jsp Maybe he'll use Duke Robillard again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RainDogToo Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 The only show I could maybe get to would be from Norfolk, Va to Knoxville, TN which driving is 527 miles and would take 8 hours 21 mins to get there. Airfare is waaayyy too expensive for me to afford. My mom is a travel agent and I had her looking the prices up for me this morning. Nothing was below $300 for any of the shows + the ticket itself+ hotel costs. That I just simply cannot afford....Damn! Oh well, someday I will see get to see Mr. Waits, someday. Any news on who he'll have in his band? I'm assuming these aren't going to be solo shows. According to this, it looks like Marc Ribot will not be part of the Waits tour. http://www.marcribot.com/tour.jsp Maybe he'll use Duke Robillard again. Not sure yet. However, I'm sure we'll hear the news soon. I have heard that David Alvin was rumored to be playing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
