General discussion about 2008 tour dates

[StoneTempleBrett]

There are some shows that leaked on NME.COM a month ago that includes a Santa Barbara Bowl show in CA that they haven't put up yet, the unannounced fall shows should bring it up to that.

I can't stop listening to the new outro!  "Oh My TVC, Oh My TVC15..."

If you hit that gig you should be hired to shoot video. Your Hollywood bowl footage is pretty much immortal now.

lmao.

Awe!  He's hit all-star status in the online STP community!

What John was for audio, our little Brett is to live video.

I wish I could go to that gig but Santa Barbara is really far away, like 2-3 hours.  I'm trying to get a buddy to go to the San Diego show so hopefully that happens.  Thanks for the kind words about my footage.

No prob, I saw the article about the STP gig at the Hollywood Bowl on Blabbermouth, and I couldn't believe when I saw your footage attached at the bottom.

Well . . . I know I'm a little late joining this thread, but I thought I'd add this.  The October date is Voodoo Fest in New Orleans, which traditionally occurs around Halloween.  STP (before their hiatus) played it a few times, and Velvet Revolver also played it in 2004 (and maybe later as well--I can't remember).  It's a stop they/Weiland usually hit, and N.O. promoters love to have them.

and I hope to see them at the voodoo music fest. 

My friend lives in Baton Rouge, and I only get to see her a few times a year.  I think this might be our fall get together!!  She LOVES NIN so the festival would be an awesome show for us!!

[CMCracker]

to promote his solo stuff maybe??  How far in advance do u do letterman and stuff

[EustaciaWildeve]

I live in BR now too and am hoping to go to the Fest.  I'm a NIN fan as well.  I may have to skip out of work to get there though.  I hope the tour gets tighter as time passes.  I'm looking forward to a better show than I saw in Houston, not that Houston's show was bad.  : )

That's what I was thinking. Hopefully a few club dates, at least. *crosses fingers for NYC*

Well, then I'll see you there!!   We're already planning the mass Manic Panic hair dying event.    I think I'm going with pink streaks.   You'll probably hear us coming a mile away.  2 tall blondes, one with HUGE boobs,  and 2 tall red heads.     making a whole lot of noise. 

The two redheads will sound southern, the two blondes, not so much. 

I've never been to NO so I'm looking forward to it.  We're renting a condo in the French Quarter!

9/1 Bend,OR just popped up on Ticketmaster

[StoneTempleBrett]

There's two Texas dates following the New Orleans gig, they were listed on NME.COM awhile ago (some dates may have changed) along with their early September shows which include the Santa Barbara County Bowl show on September 7th:

September 1, 2008- Spokane, WA Radio Event @ Greyhound Park
September 5, 2008- Sacramento, CA @ Raley Field
September 7, 2008- Santa Barbara, CA @ Santa Barbara County Bowl
October 25, 2008- Dallas, TX Edgefest @ Pizza Hut Park
October 26, 2008- Corpus Christi, TX Concrete Street Amphitheatre

I think there's a good chance they'll play KROQ's LA Invasion (formerly known as Inland Invasion) since that's usually in mid September and it had a 90's theme last year and if they want to run with that concept STP would be ideal headliners.

I bow in the awe of your knowledge, young Jedi. 

I didn't know about the TX dates.  BUT, I have known about Voodoo fest for a LONG time!   They were listed as being there before the lineup officially came out.
