    Hometown show
    They came in Montréal ONE DAY in 1967. I was 13 and not even lived there. Lucky people with hometown show. Share the LOVE.

    hahaha...age is relative
    I saw my first show in the 80's, but only feel old when around those much younger and I have learned NOT to try too hard to keep up!But I understand marye, I also enjoy being home. It sure was nice though getting out during this tour and doing a little traveling. Expensive, but that also is kinda relative, so long as the bills get paid (you can't take it with ya, but maybe the memories??). Looking forward to seeing the boys on the 4th of July!! Lets hope for nice weather!

    Marye, hometown shows are great, but...
    there is something special about traveling to another part of the country to see the boys. It gives a chance to appreciate other parts of the country (or more appreciate your own part!) and meet some really cool people along the way.I was fortunate to be able to go see the last show at the Gorge, and got more then my money's worth. What a gorgeous venue and the landscape driving through the cascade mountains was impressive. My wife & I made a mini vacation out of it, and probably would not have gone to that area of the country if it wasn't for the show that brought us there. The same holds true for the Penn State show. Even some of the venues I have visited in the past was neat to return to after many years. The Spectrum shows in Philly stands out as they will tear it down this year and it was cool seeing what changes in the area have taken place since the last time I was there many yerars ago. I would LOVE for my wife & I to be able to visit Jamaica and would be more likely to visit there over other islands if I knew I could also see the boys there as well. How cool would that be! It's like getting a bonus for the money to travel there. I know, Ratdog is going back there, which would be very cool. The cost is a bit much for us though sadly. Now that would be a super cool show(s) to be miracled! I can dream anyway! Otherwise, due to money and time, I can understand wanting them to play in your hometown, I would go if they came to mine, but also would try to travel a ways to experience them in someone else's back yard. Maybe yours someday? ;)

probably the Going Furthur topic would be your best bet.
