DLR St. Louis show CANCELLED!

[maxq5150]

I just heard on KSHE 95 in St. Louis that the DLR show at the Ameristar Casino on Friday Nov. 25th has been cancelled. I also know someone who works at the Casino and she confirmed it. That SUCKS. I was looking forward to it. I heard two reasons for the cancellation: illness and a back issue. I believe Dave cancelled a show he had scheduled at the Pageant in St. Louis a couple years ago at the last minute. Very Disappointing!!

Translation: poor ticket sales.

It wasn't poor ticket sales. That was most likely the issue when he cancelled at the Pageant in the past, but the Amerisar show was Sold Out. The show at the Ameristar was to be in the casino bar which only holds around 400. Great place to watch a concert.

Shit happens...sorry brother.

if I were Dave, i wouldn't play venues holding under 1500; I just wouldn't (unless, they pay a min of $50k plus expenses). It's a disgrace and an embarrassment, and I think he should stay home b4 playing these little gigs. the man is a fuckin' rock god, and he shouldn't forget it. playing these places concedes to the notion that you ain't got it anymore - BUT, he does have it and still kicks ass.

so, stay home or play bigger places/festivals.

I just called the Kewadin Casino in Michigan just to hear what they had to say and apparently they said when DLR performed his last concert this past week - he did a kick and landed on his back on stage???? He plans on making these concerts up within the next 4-6 months ?????

WOW, I'm so bummed....better to know now, that for me to have gotten on that plane to St. Louis......!!


Any idiot saying Poor Ticket Sales needs to get off this website. The St. Louis Performance has been SOLD OUT since OCTOBER...nitwits!

dave should play nothing smaller than hotdog and hamburger feestivals.

[bantonelli]

OKAY.....SO, who saw DLR's last performance.....AND did he actually FALL on his Back????????

I was forwarded an email from a Mario Triado of the Creative Artists Agency in which she cites an "illness" for the cancellation and says that "hopefully we can reschedule". In another note someone from the casino cites a "back problem".

I just called the Ameristar and they said they have NO WORD that the show is CANCELLED??? The only tip they have is that another customer called saying they heard it's been cancelled and announced on KSHE.....Ameristar knows nothing right now ?????

FUCK.

Kewadin's is cancelled too. I literally JUST got the call when I clicked on this thread.

FUCK.

I was pleading with the guy to post-pone it. Said it's up to Roth.

FUCK.

[Loons The Great]

MOTHERFUCK!!!!! What happened to the ol' I got aspirin 'tude? What a buzzkill. An' I'm sober as a judge. I'm speechless. WTF?! The one show that I was actually gonn' do right/socialize with my fellow soldiers instead of juss' gettin' wasted and keepin' to myself gets cancelled. Nah I really, really got the blues.
