Just wanted to see who plans on hitting which Missouri shows. If you don't mind, post which one, KC, SL or both that you may go to. If people are taking the whole day off, we could meet up to party in the parking lot at Sandstone, or somewhere else in KC, and likewise in StL.
Also, is everyone looking to dig deep and pay for the upfront seats or just sit back, reserved or lawn. I think it would be cool to try to get everyone sitting in the same general area if we could. Just wanting to see what kind of turnout we can expect. thanks!

I will be at the KC show. I plan to pay to sit close. graemlins/thumb.gif

See ya in St Louis! Just confirmed the time off. :D

I just found out our station is going to be getting some tickets to this show to giveaway! graemlins/thumb.gif

I guess that means I better snag a pair off the top before we give them out!

I'll meet ya in St. Louis!! :D :D

KC for sure !!!

Loons and Cabo, where are you guys going to try to get seats, up close or back on the lawn? If you know now, go ahead and post and maybe we can find some kind of seating chart for Riverport and nail down a section of seats to shoot for.

I'm not too sure yet, Warhead.

I put a call in today to one of the UMB Bank / Riverport people to see about buying "the best available" tix I can. Once I hear back from her and I have an idea, I'll let you know.

I'm hoping to get as close as I can. I was on stage w/Sam as a "Waborita" in '99 and was second row for DLR last summer in KC. I aim to get as close as I can...

Ebay, here I come! :D graemlins/thumb.gif

I will be at the Riverport in STL with a bunch others. I wont be at the KC show though, too bad for me.

Sounds like the "linkers" will be in full force at this one !!

I will let ya'll know where I land. I am also trying to get some up close seats.

Kansas City for me, of course! The thought of two egomaniacs fighting over who gets the loudest cheers from VH fans is TOO DELICIOUS to miss! graemlins/bounce.gif See ya'll there.

Wow.
lawchick.
back from oblivion. ;)

Hi. smile.gif

Holy Moley!

It's lawchick! How have you been? You're going to the KC show, eh? Well, maybe we need to make it a "Missouri Road Trip" and snag both shows! :D

BTW, check your PM. ;)

FYI -- don't know if you guys already know this, but the Kansas show has Internet Pre-Sale happening NOW. :cool:

The redemption code has something to do with a radio station, like call letters.

graemlins/thumb.gif

Hey Cabo Kid,

Don't forget your buddy down here at the Lake! Remember, we were only a few seats away from each other at the DLR show in KC last year. How about 2 tix from your station for my wife and I???? Can't wait til the St.Louis show. We should meet up this time. MO.

If anyone hears anything about St Louis tickets going on sale early please post it here asap. I imagine the code would have something to do with KSHE, but being a couple hundred miles away, I'm not sure who is promoting this one. Diamond D, shoot me an email if you have decided what kind of tickets you want to shoot for. Looks like everyone is trying for up close, so that will be fine with me. I could easily handle getting 6th row like FORD and those guys did for the Washington show. Well, let's try to get as many people to this show as possible, pre-party, party during and post party.

Pre-sale for St Louis is Friday at 10AM. All I need now is the redemption code. Best available works for me. graemlins/thumb.gif

OK...not to sound too stupid here, but how do I get the "redemption code"?

I saw KC tix were already on sale.

"Best Available" I could get was Sect. 3, row CC, seats 3&4.

I'm probably going to bank on a STL appearance instead.

Go to KSHE's website and join their list. They will mail you the link and the code probably the day before.

KSHE (http://www.kshe95.com)

DiamondD, is it KSHE for sure? I don't know how those other guys found out the Redemption code for Washington. If they go on sale Friday and you get the code tomorrow, post here to that effect or email so I don't sit here and freak for the next 2 days. Things are looking good for us to get close to the front, as it should be. W.D.F.A.!

I clicked on your KSHE link and saw the stuff you're referring to, so it's all good. Will that be cool for you if they go on sale early Friday?
Let me know, and it would be too cool to get right up close where I could actually see what the hell is going on. Everybody else make sure and register with them asap so no one screws the pooch Friday and misses out on a good thing.

I'll be online Friday morning and will post the redemption code for everyone else when I get it.

I'll be in St. Louis! graemlins/bounce.gif

You folks going to the UMB Bank/Riverport show wanna meet up before the show for dinner or sumthin' like that? ;)

Hi. smile.gif Indeed. smile.gif And let me tell you, Oblivion is a pretty awesome place. :cool: I plan on returning very soon, buying about 40 acres there, and retiring! Good to talk to you again, Wolfman!

Can't wait for the Sandstone show! Can I hear a collective whoop from the heart of the Midwest?? :D

Looks like I will be sitting this one out. I splurged last year to see DLR. This year the $ is much tighter. Have fun y'all!!!

Any word on that code? I cant even get to the KSHE website....

Well, after about 30 different "Look For Other Tickets", I just scored 11th row tix, section left at UMB Pavilion!!! :D

Section Left, Row K, seats 23 & 21

Sure, it's not front row or anything but I don't think it's too shabby! See y'all there! graemlins/thumb.gif

Damn, I rejected my tickets about 20 times and the closest I could get to was HH in the center. They never would get out of the double letter rows. But that's ok, saw Dave 2nd row 2x last year. See everyone there!

Bro, that will work! We're in the house and that is all that matters. Last I heard they don't chain you to your seat, so we can motivate here and there. I just look for a group of people huddling in a tight circle that look like they are trying to send a smoke signal for help of some kind. Any way I can help, I'll be on the case.

Same shit happened to me. After 20-30 trys I get left/center row EE (about 30 rows back!). Oh well, saw Dave last year 3rd row. Guess this will do.

Cabo Kid, I sat right by you at Dave's show in KC. I'll look for you this time in StL. MO. graemlins/thumb.gif

Who's bringing the Cabo and who's bringing the Jack Daniels? graemlins/drunk.gif

Good thing the hotel's right next door!

Diamond D, shoot me an email if you already got the room and know how much it will be, so I can budget that into the party fund. This could turn into Lost Weekend: 2002!. Hoping to hook up with everybody from the web that shows up for this show, and we can tear it up, down and all around!
Hell,I'd even buy Russ a beer if he chooses to bring his sorry ass out of retirement.
In 42 days, the music plays,
In St. Fuckin' Louie!
Hell Yeah, Light 'em Up!!!!!!!

Tickets are going pretty fast for this one! Been checking on and off all morning and almost all the best available are in the second price range. St. Louis is gonna be on fire!

War, I'll shoot you an email after I do some more research!

Well, I wasnt fortunate enough to get up close, so I will be on the Lawn. Going with my fellow VH bros. About 6 of us. I sure hope Mikey makes this show and jams with Dave and Sammy on a couple.

Its gonna be a blast !! graemlins/drunk.gif

VH is coming to town !! :D

See you all there !! graemlins/thumb.gif

You never know on Mikey showing up in St Louis. I think he endorses Ampeg products and I think that's where their headquarters is maybe. Definitely makes it a possibility. Bring on that whiskey-sippin' bass player, the more the merrier!

We've got reservations at Harrah's Casino, which is supposed to be less than a mile from the venue, for the night. Hopefully they've got a shuttle to and from the show.

I've heard Dave and Buster's is real close too. Anyone from the area have any other recommendations?

While he may not actually get up on stage with the guys, if he plans on being at the Vegas shows, and mixing it up with the fans, I will gladly extend an invitation via our friend and most hated man on this site, the blue mushroom, for Mike to come to St. Louis and party with us before and after the show, and while he's there, he can take care of any Ampeg biz he might have going on. I know he goes to SL from time to time for this stuff, so why not kill two birds with one stone, and if he's still around the next day, we'll drag his ass down to Six Flags and ride some fuckin' roller coasters and shit! People may think I'm off my nut, but when you get past the fact these guys are rock and roll stars, they are just fucking people like us looking for a good time here and there. You've hung with Mike and know how cool he is, and I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possiblility for him to take up our offer and show up in the show-me state. Gotta go, I have email to send.

If this "coin toss" deal is really how they are opening and closing shows, that means Sammy is the opening act here in STL.

JMJ

As I've said in a few other threads, I think the fact Sammy is opening in one of his strongest markets, and the crowd reaction during and at the end of his set, may bring on one of the strongest DLR sets in recent history. You know Sammy is gonna try to knock Dave's dick in the dirt in SL, but I imagine Dave will come out swingin' from the heels, and bring the fuckin' thunder! This has all the ingredients to be the best overall show of the tour, and we're gonna be right in the middle of the shit! Oh fuckin' yeahhhhhhhh!!!!

Yeah, what WARHEAD said! graemlins/thumb.gif

Dude, that just gave me chills! :eek: :D

As long as your chills aren't multiplyin' and you're not losin' control, it'll all be good Cabo!

If that is the case, I'll be stayin' clear of the guy in SL with the slicked back hair and black leather jacket!

As a follow up to my previous post, my good friend who heard Sammy on KSHE last week said that Sammy said he talked with Dave and he (Sammy) would be closing act on this night.

BTW, Sammy also said that Mikey will be at this show.

Damn, I wish I would have heard that interview, but my friend who heard it claims Sammy said this.

We shall see !

We shall see !It looks pretty unlikely that Mike will join Sammy onstage, although he might be backstage.

If Sammy ISN'T closing in St. Louis, Dave is going to have one helluva time trying to follow Sam... :rolleyes:

Did Brad say that Mikey wouldnt be joining Sammy on stage ?

Originally posted by 79th and Sunset:
Did Brad say that Mikey wouldnt be joining Sammy on stage ?Yes, but only on the Sam and Dave tour. Here are Brad's words:

No. Mike will not be playing any dates on the Sam and Dave tour. He is playing Sammy's Vegas show (Dave will not be there) and may do some other ones.

Do we want to set a central time and place to meet with everyone? I know D&B's isn't too far from UMB, and I don't think Harrah's is either.

Or should we just plan on meeting at the gates outside UMB? Then there's always the Burger King / Pizza Hut concourse inside too. smile.gif

Whatever...I'm game.

I hope to meet some of you fellow "linkers" so I will be paying attention to "the plan". I cant guarantee my whereabouts as I am going with about 8 other people. You know the BBQUE at the 79th residence and lil' bit of this and that, then off to the show.

If I can meet up, I will most certainly be there. graemlins/thumb.gif

Whatever...I'm game.Meeting inside UMB would be easier, especially for people who have lawn tickets, but you know how expensive food is inside of stadiums/arenas/amphitheatres/theme parks/etc. For the money you spend on a burger and fries, you could get a steak dinner at D&B's (almost). ;)

Why don't we put this up to a vote?

I vote for D & B for the before show party. Haven't been to one in a while and it just seems like a good atmosphere to hang out in.

And the Harrah's down the road for the after-show!

Got the tickets in the mail today. One month to go.

graemlins/bounce.gif :D

I MAY have a pair of 11th row tix to sell.

I'll let everyone know if this happens. I'd sell them for face-value if it does.

BTW, I'm up for a little "Dave & Buster's" beforehand, DD. We can all hook up, call the Hogs and down a burger before the show. ;)

I just got my tix for the KC show. Section 3 Row 1 Seats 1 & 2 ...
Front row center...
graemlins/thumb.gif

We'll see you there Cabo! We'll have to arrange time and everything as we get closer. Only a few more weeks to go! graemlins/thumb.gif

If the fajitas at the Dave and Buster's in St. Louis are as good as the one's I had at the D&B's down in Dallas, I already know what I'll be havin', for sure! I can hear them steak strips sizzlin' on that platter already. Yeah, I say we can put on a much sturdier foundation for the night's festivities if we partake of as much food and drink before we enter the venue. I plan to be in the condition before we walk through the gates. St. Louis will be rockin'!

BTW, I saw something about the show starting at 6. Is this a misprint??? Regardless, I'm thinking about getting to STL around 4-ish with my buddy. We can start laying out times and locations in the next couple of days.

graemlins/bounce.gif

I will be paying attention as I would like to meet you guys if possible. I just dont know how and when yet, with the group I am going with, Lord only knows. Looks like the "party" van will be in full "Wabo" mode !!

I do believe the show starts at 6 PM.

Diamond D, I am going to be off line for a few days. My modem on my laptop is on the fritz. Hope it is easy to fix, as I'm computer illiterate. I'll check in here from time to time if it takes very long to fix, and I'll pm you my phone number and an alternate email address so we can finalize plans for the SL trip. Man, I hope this thing is easy to fix, as I'm already jonesin' from a lack of time here. Later, Warhead

Gotcha bro! I'll be around.

OK gang. Here's the situation.

I have a pair of tickets for the upcoming DLR/SH show in STL. They are Row Q, Sec. Left. I'm not sure what seats. I ordered 2 separate pair of tix the day they went on sale, but only need 1. So, if anyone's interested in these, send me an email or PM.

$135 face value w/charges incl. No profit from me. Just wanna recoop some of the lost dolares. :D

See ya at the show! graemlins/thumb.gif

Got a room at the Wingate Hotel. I think this is walking distance to UMB? Do any of you know???

MO.

GO WINGS GO!

If the Wingate is the one I'm thinking of, then it shouldn't be too far from UMB. Probably a half mile walk down the road.

Good deal. Half mile is not too bad. There used to be a Doubletree hotel close by. I think it's been changed into a Holiday Inn. That could be the one your thinking about too. I don't get to St.L very much. Thanks, MO.

Any "linkers" meeting at D&B's before this show ?

I got about 10 VH fans coming over for a BBQUE before the show at 79th and Sunset.......

Cant wait.......... graemlins/drunk.gif

Originally posted by MO Halen:

JMJ

Ouch !

What time at D&B? We won't get up there 'til mid afternoon and will want to check in first. Plus the early start time has me concerned, but I guess we'll know more about that as reports start to come in from the tour.

It's a 6pm kickoff, right??

D&B should be good with me. Maybe hook up at like 3:30-4-ish and take it from there.

By the way, if anyone wants some tix in Row Q, let me know. I still have them and need to unload them pretty quick.

Row Q, Left Side, 2 seats.

Drop me a line if you're interested.

:D

We'll get there as soon as possible. Can anyone thing of anywhere to meet up at inside there? I know what Cabo looks like, but none of the others.

Hey guys! Waaaaaay long time lurker (3+ years) and so few occasional posts that it's not worth mentioning, but I am going to St Louis this weekend and am trying to figure out where everyone is going to party before the show. I'll be in town by 2ish. I read D&B's (Dave and Busters?) is the place??? I'm bring my girl and my best bud, and am ready rock with Dave..........and Sammy. smile.gif I'm a back in the day BBSer and would think it badass to hand with some VH fans from the online world. Got soso middle of the place seats (and don't think for a sec that I won't run for front row spots given the chance).

Rock on!!!!!
They say alll may flavors are.....awww shit, forgot the shit!!!!!!!!!

D & B's is the place! See ya there!

I might just be bold enough to wear my Cubs jersey in old St. Louis! LOL

BTW, does anyone know if the KC show was indeed postponed and if so, is the STL show still happening? :confused:

Man I hope not. I have been waiting a LONG time for this one. graemlins/thumb.gif

Originally posted by Cabo Kid:

As for me, I'm still not sure if I'm going. I'm playing it by ear but right now it doesn't look too good. :(

St. Louis has been cancelled too...

"The June 6 (Bonner Springs KS) show and the June 7 (St. Louis) Sammy Hagar / David Lee Roth shows have been cancelled.

The KS show has been rescheduled for July 26th and there are rumors that the St. Louis show will be rescheduled for July 27th."

Scott, please let me know where you are getting this info. ?

Thanks !!

Correction:

"Now it is being reported that just the KC date has been changed and the St. Louis date is still on for June 7."

Sorry for the confusion, guys. I got the info from Ron Higgins on the All-VH list.

I think Ron Higgins needs to shut the hell up until he gets his shit straight. It's on, it's off! It's on again! Like a bad stripper that hasn't figured out just how the fuck it goes.

this just in....kansas city show has been postponed!!!don't have a reason yet.

sorry, that info comes directly from ticketmaster...

Is everyone ready to get a little crazy ?

Party complete with BBQUE at the 79th residence begins around noon. I am going to try and stop by D & B's on the way to the show.

I have no idea what any of you look like, so.......any particular "gear" anyone wearing ? I will have my VH Links White hat on.

Would be kool to meet some of ya'll !! graemlins/thumb.gif

79th, We'll be the loud fuckers at D and B's! I will have on my black 93X festival shirt that my boys in Saliva hooked me up with! It has a hot cartoon chick wearing very little clothing holding onto a bad ass machine gun!

Try to make it by D aand B's, and never feel bad about yelling out War or Warhead. I will seek you out, so as you can join the festivities. People, we are going to fuck it up in St. Louis tonite. All the best with your BBQ, and bring the leftovers along for the afterparty at our room at Harrah's! All right ladies, show us your tits!!!!!!!!!

Loons, you better be gettin' your freaky ass down there for sure!

Names off here to yell or look for:
Warhead
DiamondD
Ron Moore, DD's buddy, who I'm sure I will throw a nickname on by the end of the night!
Cabo Kid
Blind Willie Loons
79th and Sunset
Scott Roberts
Mo Halen
Mephisto
These are just the ones from my early short list.
Please tack on your name below so we can know who all to be on the lookout for. Let the games begin!

Awww yeah!! graemlins/thumb.gif

I'll be the goofball wearing the blue Cubs jersey. I know DiamondD is gonna be there later too. I think around 3:30-4 is when I'm arriving. Like Warhead said, just yell "Cabo" or something like that.

Can't wait to see y'all and can't wait to see the show!!!!

BTW, any word on if Mr. Anthony is gonna show up tonight?? (pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease) ;)

Hey you crazy fuckers!!!! Tonight is the night and I'm pumped! I have been told by my buddy who works backstage (head of security) that I may have backstage passes, and possible a seat on stage with Sammy. Im a total Dave head, but fuck it!!! See ya all there
