Pawns & Kings US and Toronto Winter Tour 2023 with Mammoth WVH and Red or Pistols at Dawn

Post by anguyen92 »

Thanks, Zaz for the initial post, but I shall create its own thread.

Anaheim HOB. Sweeeeet. That's in my neighborhood (almost literally since it's just a short 10 min. drive away). All GA, which makes for a fun time.

I will also consider adding going to the show in Highland, CA. Never been to the place before, but it's an hour away on a Saturday, so that's an easy yes. I get another shot at seeing Mammoth WVH after missing out on them last March due to obligations I could not miss. I rather would have Red as the opener as I have no idea who Pistols at Dawn is, but I get a chance to see AB three times this run, maybe more....

Finger crosses for a third US leg at some point. As usual, they've neglected Oregon, so I get to choose either a 5 hour drive to Seattle, or 8 hour drives to either Spokane or Reno. Better than no west coast dates, but they're definitely neglecting the west on these first two legs.

Colorado? Nah, skip them. This is a US tour.

Woot! What a way to wake up on a Monday morning.

Glad to see that zaz didn't book this tour and that Denver has a show! The Mission Ballroom is a nice big venue too that is mostly GA. I'll be lining up early next week. Reservations are open for the spare bedrooms here if anyone wants.

I might try to get to the Anaheim show too to see my brother and Ryan and some other Cali friends.

The Northwest, maybe, but I see 6 shows in the Pacific time zone, plus shows in Denver and Salt Lake City. Weast ain't getting neglected at all, otherwise, I would be complaining about it first.

So, for this leg, I will go to the two California shows and maybe take a weekend trip to Toronto and see them there.

You're definitely on the list of Cali friends. But I'm still wearing a mask around you. ;) :lol

One of the prices we pay for living in the best part of the continent

Also, I would say the west is definitely getting neglected, as there are a total of 8 shows in the entire mountain and pacific time zones, and half of those are So Cal and WA shows, with none in San Fran, San Diego, central California, Vegas, or Portland (never mind Vancouver, Calgary, or Edmonton).

But that's not unusual for any band at all.

I'm sure Tim (or some band member pirating his login ;) ) could break down the daily cost of a band touring and divide that by some factor that represents distance and population, but the short answer is that there's clearly a wider distribution of people and cities across the west so it's simply more efficient (read: money) for a band to concentrate tour dates through the east and midwest.

The Paramount is about 1,000 seats more than the previous venue they’ve been playing at. Which they played the last two album cycles. So excited for AB, don’t get me wrong, but FUCKING RED!!!!! LET’S GOOOO!!!!

I just feel like in recent times, the West has the better end of things. There were 8 shows for Walk the Sky in the West and most of the shows in the East Coast was part of co-headlining tour with Skillet, but of course, there's a pandemic was a major factor of that tour.

Uhhh, sadly, the downside of the West coast leg is that we don't get Red as an opening act. Is this Pistols At Dawn band any good?

I would have loved to be able to go see them in Seattle again. The 2020 show was amazing. Unfortunately covid is still a thing and being a Canadian I cant get into the US without the vax passport, and I cant get the vaccine because of my anti-vax parents I still live with :/ So here's hoping for a late 2023/2024 Canada tour I guess...

Ok, first song I've heard from Pistols at Dawn on Spotify. On first impression, they sound like every generic Octane band and Like a Storm (without the didgeridoo here and there). Not impressed so far, but let's see how I feel five more songs later.

Edit: Ok, they've gotten a little more slightly tolerable more songs later. Now they sound like a Sevendust side-project, which is a decent upgrade.

Honestly we're fortunate to get such an extensive North American tour given the rock scene right now.

I will be purchasing tickets for the February 17th show in Minnesota. I moved back to Iowa from Massachusetts in December last year so it will be my first AB show out here. About 3-1/2 hour drive from Des Moines. Having Red on the tour is a bonus as I have been a long time fan. Saw them live back during the Of Beauty & Rage tour and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. I listened to some of Wolfgang's music and was so-so but will give them a shot due to close relationship to Tremonti. Anybody else from The Nation going to this one?

All right, I'm up getting ready for the presale. Have the pages up for the Anaheim and Toronto show. Apparently, for the Highland show, since it's an AXS-promoted event than a Live Nation/Ticketmaster one, there is no pre-sale and the regular sale starts on Friday. That's a bit of a bummer since I just want to wrap everything up in one day.

Edit: All right, two shows locked. The Toronto ticket was surprisingly not as expensive, mainly due to the low Canadian dollar. Thanks, Canada for that. The price of the Anaheim HOB was expected. I was hoping for under $60.00 and that's what I saw. With no seats or sections to GA Pit for HOB, unlike the Wiltern, so Live Nation needs to make up those dollars elsewhere and they choose to inflate the regular GA price (they are also having a fast lane option for $35.00 for early entrance, but I'm thinking of getting the VIP meet and Greet anyway for this one, so no need for that).

I'll be at that Quapaw, Oklahoma show. It sure beats driving to KC or The Lou.
