Turnpike liked and posted this on their story on IG.

 

If anyone is interested in singles, I just got two singles for the Saturday Ryman Turnpike show for $55 each.

 

Under the Big Sky update
Was 5 minutes late for my flight this morning. So I’m still in Tallahassee and hoping the storms clear out before my flight at 4:30 then I’m off to CLT, SLC and arrive in Missoula where Norm Peterson has to drive 1.5 hours to pick me up cause there’s no seats available to FCA. It'll be a miracle if I make to Montana today

 

Godspeed. I look forward to hearing about the festival and if they've made any improvements after last year (mainly the over sold issue)

 

My flight out of TLH was delayed an hour so missed my connection to SLC. Currently on my way to Dallas then SLC and fly to Missoula in the morning.
I think they will. Cut tickets in half. Layout is a bit different. Black Pumas had to cancel so they filled Paul Cauthen in for it. Am excite to see 3 of his shows in a weekend

 

I love Montana

 

Remington? Those shows were impossible to get into last year

 

Yeah. They pre sold tickets

 

UTSB most def didn’t cut tickets down. PC and TT were great. But had a fucking awful time. Not nearly enough event security staff. And everyone was just fucked up and out of control. Not a single decent person in the lot

 

Thanks for the feedback. I won't go back sounds like

 

I was there with you forever and finally had my breakthrough. I get it now with him.

 

Saturday and Sunday were much better. My ex worked the fest this year and they got fucked on people not tipping. last year they made 2k for the weekend and this year they didnt make 1k. I wont be going back for the fest but will be making an annual trip for hiking and relaxation

 

thx for the pics. Need to take my kids out there. Pissed it took me 43 years to experience Glacier NP.

 

Trigger says much improved over 2021 festival

Went to both nights of Turnpike at the Ryman. They killed it both nights, but Saturday’s show was the best I’ve seen at the Ryman. I’ve never heard a louder crowd.

Setlist was virtually the same both nights, which was expected. Although I was expecting to hear Cat in the Rain.

A long story, but we got an unexpected upgrade on our seats once we got in, so that was a pleasant surprise.

 

New Shane Smith dates

 

Where did you start then end up?

 

I can’t remember exactly, but i think I was section 7, row v and my wife was section 7, row s. A couple bought extra tickets and didn’t end up scanning them in or anything, so she told us we could sit there so we could sit together. I think it was section 7, row L. We still had aisle seats. It was the row between the first section on the floor and the second, beside the pole, so we also had extra leg room. Couldn’t have worked out better, especially since I paid face for the singles.

 

Yeah, L is where restricted view seats start. I love getting row L or M seat 1 or something. Your view may be barely restricted.

Way better than the back of the alphabet like V.

 

Yep. I was right beside the pole so my view wasn’t restricted at all.

Felker had a son. Good for him.

 

The chuds are gonna love this

 

May I make a confession?

I'm so fucking burned out on Turnpike and I have been for the last 5 years that I haven't even been able to listen to them since they've come back.

 

Finally saw Turnpike last night, they absolutely killed it. Felker sounds so good. Felt surreal to see them live, I never thought it would happen.

American Aquarium opened up for them and they also sounded great. Show was in Raleigh, so a bit of a homecoming for AA as well

 

Would have loved to have been there. AA killed it at the Ryman to kick off their new tour back in June.

 

I couldn’t listen to TT for like their entire 3 year hiatus. Just too depressing thinking they might never play again. So good to have them back.

 

Was also there. A gem of a show. Band sounded incredible, Evan seemed happy and comfortable up there. Interesting that he stepped off stage for the cover of “All Your Favorite Bands,” but makes sense I guess.

Not sure any band has their live sound and show perfectly mixed like AA does. They’re a finely tuned machine. Had to be a cool moment for them.

 

Best I’ve ever heard Barham and I’ve seen them quite a few times at this point. That was a good venue, hadn’t been to a show there before. One bathroom line for the entire venue was a travesty though

 

I'd like to see a sobriety tour. Isbell headlines, Turnpike, American Aquarium.

 

RC has been doing it since before the hiatus

 

I knew he’s the one that sings it, just didn’t remember Evan leaving the stage completely during it but it’s been so long may just be forgetting on my end.

 

So bad. I ventured over to the other side assuming there would be another one over there and was stunned to see there wasn’t. Only complaint though, really dig the venue. Cool spot.

 

Morgan Wade.

I’d pay a lot of money and drink a lot beers at that.

 

I think that song is a scheduled break for Evan. I’ve seen RC sing it multiple times and Evan is never on stage.

 

I think it's a respect thing. The lead singer gets all the attention all show so he's excusing himself to let the guitarist have the spotlight.

 

There were two bathrooms, one on each side of the stage, but the lines at both were long

 

I was there last night. Great show. That venue is cool.

 

That was my first TT show and visit to Pullman Yards. Totally cool venue.

 

Shane Smith & The Saints absolutely crushed it in Atlanta tonight. First time seeing them live and it did not disappoint
