Welcome to the Official 4/21 Greensboro Meetup/Review thread. This thread is to discuss anything leading up to the show, as well as all reviews.

Let's hear it !!

Alright..I'll get this thing started...

Greensboro was the place in 2007, and it was less official...

I'd like it to be a little more official this time around...

I'd love to set some sort of fucking record...most Roth Army members on the face of the fucking planet...to show up to this thing...

So...Who the fuck is in...I can't fly any of you fuckers in...or rent out a floor at the Hilton...but there's no fucking reason why we can't meet the fuck up...and shred the town before...and after the show...

I know this for a fact...I'll be there..fairwrning will be there...fucking Romeo Delight is flying in from Vanfuckingcouver...I'm assuming Va Beach will be there...

That's all I know for right now...but not a bad start...

Now let's get this thing fucking moving...we can make some calls to some local bars...see what the fuck is up...I'd love to try and get something big...get a local VH cover band for before or after the show to play at one of these fucking places...but like I said...I'm no fucking booker...and have about ten bucks to my name (not really...but not after I buy tickets to all these fucking shows...I might)...so we'll need a lot to connect to make this shit work...

worst case scenario...we all meet up...drink some beers...tell some stories...rip on Sammy...and on some general douchebag posters...

caravan to the show...tailgate...watch VH fucking blaze...post tailgate...

and prepare for Charlotte...;)

YEAAAAH!!! Who's coming??

I like the guest list so far. Dloc, haven't you wanted to go to NC?

Can't wait to experience life in North Carolina!!!! Saturday night and at least 30 of us, should make for a great evening.

50 maybe? :elvis::elvis::elvis::elvis:

So you're putting all 10 or so tickets on your credit card ?? Hey, that's great Wrning !!

It's pretty funny actually. I was trying to figure out a time I could attend a concert in April with some Army members pm-ing Pojo trying to see what we could arrange. As it turned out, the Greensboro date couldn't have worked out any better if we scheduled the tour ourselves .

I am already in the same time zone at least at that time. Not too far. Certainly not too far that it will keep me from making this happen.

Like the rest of yesterday, it is like all of the bad luck and misery is turning itself around 180 degrees. Like we were owed a debt that is paying off in spades!

Fairwrning

Unfortunately, it'll pretty much have to be the same scenario there as last time....

Find a good bar to get lubed up....

Hit the arena parking lot, continue lubing....

Enter the arena, continue lubing....

Ignore opening act, continue lubing....

Go our separate ways and enjoy The Mighty Van Halen....

Finding 10 seats together may put us very far from the stage.

I'll go it alone if I have to for the show, but maybe I can convince Dloc to come.

Blocks of 4 seats should work though.

Yeah, but the point is that someone has to purchase those 4 seats (~$650 - assuming close seats) on their credit card in order to do that...

I know it's temporary, you'll get cash back, but that's still an issue for some people....

01-07-2012, 11:29 PM
It's Fat Dog's, I had to look it up.... :D

Most of the hotels around there are pretty nasty, like the Super 8 we used last time....

I think the Quality Inn next to it is a "bit" better, but not much....

VA:

I thought it was Fat Sam's. That would be too funny; I guess that's how I chose to remember it. But yeah, just across the tracks and a few blocks down from the venue.

Guess I'll have to make the drive again this time. It worked better with CLT-Opening Night on Thurs, but this time it would have to just be straight up to Greensboro and back (CLT in the middle of the week doesnt work).

Va Beach VH Fan
01-08-2012, 10:26 AM

Yeah, well Charlotte is on a Wednesday too, but since we're thinking about going to that show also, that negates DC for me....

POJO_Risin
01-10-2012, 01:06 AM
Clearly...Charlotte is my vote...it's closer...but I can work out DC if I have to.

My plan is the two NC shows...and one other somewhere else...but it'll be a May or June show..

Fairwrning
01-10-2012, 07:36 PM
Think on this a bit....Greensboro is a definite..Saturday in mid-April..I can get there early enough to fit in 18 before the show..Im planning on getting a room somewhere so time to down a few during and after golf/before show...

Va Beach VH Fan
01-10-2012, 07:51 PM
I'll be making the drive on Saturday morning, probably stopping in Raleigh to pick up Pojo's sorry ass in my Camaro, then heading over to Greensboro, just like last time....

Did you make hotel reservations yet ??

Fairwrning
01-10-2012, 08:10 PM
No reservations yet..still considering DC...I dont think rooms would be that hard to find a month ahead...I hope

Romeo Delight
01-11-2012, 08:38 PM
I think I'm staying where VH and the crew is staying - http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1224

I can normally get deals at these hotels but not that night! Must be VH or a Shriner's convention that night

I wouldn't mind spending less though. Hard to predict what Hotels are like on the web.

I might not make it after all. I half forgot that I volunteered to coach my kid's soccer team this spring. we'll have a game that Saturday; if it's in the morning, I should still be OK to drive 6 hrs. Should know sometime in Feb. Think I'm definitely gonna hit opening night in Louisville, though.

the soccer team, man. I gotta assume you've seen VH.

Funny thing is...I never even played soccer growing up, but I sort of rescued the team last season after the old coach bailed (typical overbearing parent bullshit). The poor kids hadn't even won a game before the tourney; I got 'em to win a few games and got drafted for this year.

I'd think about skipping the game, but I just gave the kid the old lecture about honoring your commitments, etc, etc. Gotta set that example. But also gotta get in a VH roadtrip, so that's why I bought my Louisville ticket today.

Shit, enough about parenting and soccer and other shit that reminds me that i'm old. Back to the Greensboro topic, change me to a definite maybe.

Take 'em, pojo. I took the son to the Atlanta show in 08, when he was 7. He had a blast. Actually, the best one was a Roth show in Orlando, when the kid was only 5. All the people near us were astonished that this kid knew all the words. Shit, I'm already starting to lose him; he's getting up to that age where his Dad's music isn't cool anymore.

So what exactly is the deal with Greensboro?

No one seems to actually be living there from the site - and yet this is yet again a date for the mighty VH - so there must be a significant population base.

From the outside looking in you start to wonder if there is some "understanding" from neighboring communities regarding the place...

Is it an experimental clone-city? I am trying to understand why there are only two or three hotels that actually have vacancies. Part of the plan to "integrate" me?

I am starting to get worried.

LOL, basically Greensboro consists of the University of North Carolina/Greensboro, the Greensboro Coliseum, and, and, that's it....

It just so happens that for the 2nd tour in a row, VH has played there on a Saturday night, hence the meetups.....

Capacity-wise, the Coliseum can hold a couple thousand more for your normal concert than most arenas....

North Carolina has always been an interesting slot for bands to come and play. Between Raleigh, Charlotte and right here in good ole' Raleigh...every major act comes and plays. I saw the Stones at Wallace Wade at Duke in 2005, and saw U2 at Carter Finley in Raleigh in 2009...

To go along with a bunch of other shows at Greensboro, RBC and the outdoor venues around...

But Greensboro is probably the one place most all bands hit for indoor shows...partially because of the size...and partially because of the promotors...

Strange shit indeed...

I live in Greensboro. It's been a major transportation hub for the last 100 years or so. A lot of people and a lot of stuff pass through here. That's why we've been attracting so many businesses to relocate here. The coliseum is the largest single-seat arena in the country. That's why we get so many good shows, and have hosted over half of the men's ACC basketball tournaments over the last 41 years.

There was a great crowd at the 07 show. I was in the first row outside the walkway. If you time it right, great tickets can be had here cheaper than normal. I got AC/DC tickets in the front row for $45 a piece. That was the starting price for tickets. People 10 rows back paid $90 a piece. I'll be at the concert in April. Hopefully right up against the walkway again.

As far as hotels go, there are plenty that always have rooms available. Easiest way to find one here is just looking around google maps and calling them.

We made the nice long trek to Greensboro in 07. The drive itself was a complete nightmare. Everything that could go wrong, did. However, once we got to Greensboro, I fell in love with the place. There was a fucking great record shop that was somewhat near the arena. It was called "Remember When Records & Videos." Place was great. I bought my 2 disc DVD of the US Festival performance there. I asked the folks if they were online, they weren't. I asked if they shipped and they said seldomly. I thought that was bad business practices. Gonna have to look to see if that's changed or if they went out of business. Anyway, I'm hitting the New Orleans show at the end of the tour. Here's to hoping a last night of the leg of a tour is something special.

That may not be an exact representation, remember....

I just looked at my stub, in that very same arena, me and Poj got tickets at the last minute for KISS and Aerosmith in section 107....

So maybe your view of the screen isn't going to be great at all, but you're going to VERY close to the stage.....

For the Vancouver show the equivalent would be sec 107 11 rows up. Damned nice seats...mayeb even my preference. But what view and sound do you get for Sec 105?

looks like Greensboro might be the type of show where the audience is a little rowdier.

I know we have all mellowed, but the crowds so far have seemed a bit tamer than I recall from the shows I attended from the last tour in my part of the world

The Greensboro Coliseum holds about 1,000 more than the average arena for concerts, as well....

No doubt about that.... When they stopped in the middle of "I'm The One", the crowd was ROARING.... The video doesn't represent it very well at all....

Cool. And it still sounds awesome! Vancouver is pretty similar.

Last tour was incredible. In 1984, the crowd was far louder than the band. Never seen that again and probably never will.

@Momshell why stop there-if they do a second don't forget NY, Hershey, North Jersey....all doable..lol...

On a different note, I did pick up Aerosmith/Cheap Trick Tix yeterday for Philly..not floors yet...But As much as I love them too, I won't be going to 4 concert for them.

Absolutely! I'll go anywhere that doesn't require an overnight stay - hotels and overnight babysitter is just too much (after 4 shows already). But if I can drive there and back in the same day, I'm there. And now I know I can do it alone too, if necessary. :)

NM. I never clicked on the platinum ones. That is good. I had 6th row for Reading same location as you..It was GREAT..It was truly smack center. Is Greenboro popular this time b/c it is a weekend or a great place or the fact it is a Saturday? There are some nice tix on there...
