Anyone going? I'll be there with my three kiddos and brother. It'll be my 9 year old's first concert.

I'll be there. Should be a dandy time

I'll have my kiddos so probably won't be too much of a 'party' meet up but would certainly meet somewhere at the venue to say 'hey'.

Wish I could! Have an awesome time!

If anyone's interested in a pre-show meet up anywhere, I'd be down.

I'll be there in STL! My first concert of any kind of 15+ years. It's hard to think of a better one than DT to get back into it.

We'd be interested. We're travelling and will be staying at Union Station which .3 miles from the Stifel.

I live about 15 minutes from the venue. There's about a million different places in that general area. I saw a few DT people at the Schlafly Tap Room before the show in 2016.

Enjoy the show everyone. They were on fire last night in Peoria.

There's also Maggie O'Brien's which is right down the street from the Stifel.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #11 on:** October 02, 2019, 09:30:56 AM »

If you guys decide on a spot....update it here please. Me and the kiddos will be on site and would try to swing by. With the Blues rally going on we may head down a bit early and go over there as well.

Otherwise...maybe at intermission? I'll most likely be hanging out at intermission in the main lobby. I'll have three kids with me so I'm thinking I'd stand out a bit.

hunnus2000 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 02, 2019, 09:42:19 AM »

Then let's just say Maggie O'Brien's around 4:00? We have a meet and greet at 5:30.

And I guess I missed the boat on this one. Didn't get off work on time. Also FYI, according to the Stifel Theatre Facebook page, no video recording is allowed, per tour policy.

Just got back from the show. Pretty freaking awesome again! Love that I got to see them twice this year with my boys. And love that when I asked my 9 year old how he liked his first concert ever he said “I loved it Dad” with a huge smile!

JLB sounded great IMO and it was fun just switching the gaze from one member to another.

Oh and , the Stifel Crew were pretty strict with the no camera thing. At least my section. You could take pics but no video. They were like hawks.

MasterLomaxus · « **Reply #15 on:** October 02, 2019, 10:42:31 PM »

Oh yeah, they were on it. But, I had a great time. I'll admit, the crowd wasn't as fun as in Chicago, but it was still great.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #16 on:** October 02, 2019, 10:52:53 PM »

I thought the crowd was pretty good. WAY better than when they were here for the Astonishing show. It was dead for that.

I thought ‘we’ did pretty good for the band tonight.

The crew were jerks. They yelled at me once just checking my messages, not even taking video.

So I ended up taking about 10 minutes of video anyway after that. Partially out of spite. Some of it's pretty good.

The show was awesome! Finally seeing them live was intense. I've seen some of the biggest bands in rock live, and this was probably the best concert I've been to.

Only complaint is, did anybody else think the sound crew made it irresponsibly loud? My ears are still ringing. I hope I didn't get any permanent damage. I don't go to concerts very often, so I didn't have a set of earplugs and I didn't think about picking any up first.

MasterLomaxus · « **Reply #19 on:** October 03, 2019, 05:37:15 PM »

Haha yeah, it was pretty loud.

KevShmev · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2019, 07:32:53 PM »

Yep, it was pretty loud, but aside from a few mellow moments when I took them out (beginning of The Spirit Carries On, Through My Words), I had ear plugs in. After the bludgeoning my ears took when I saw DT in KC in '14, I would never go to one of their shows again without them.

The crowd was definitely great last night. We were about 15 rows back and most of the people in front of us stood for most of the concert, as did we, although I picked a few spots to sit for a few and give my old bones some brief breaks.
