Exactly no one is *****ing, just talking.

Go back to pretending that you know ever spot in town so no one thinks you're old or poor. Can't wait to hear which 20-something club you were hanging out at last night.

If I hadn't just spent a ridiculous amount on tickets to see them at the Palomino Festival in Pasadena I'd be all over these.

Email sent. No *****ing.

Never heard of em

GA for Isbell's show in June at 713 is going for $95 face value. That's borderline on whether that worth it. I could pass but I imagine the wife is gonna want to go.

We just saw Reckless Kelly and Old 97s at 713 a couple weeks ago for like $45.

So not everything is crazy but I understand higher than normal prices.

---

They were selling $20 flat GA tickets for Isbell at the Billy Strings show. Picked up three of them.

There were plenty of tix for the Billy Strings show for as cheap as $6 before the show bc resellers bought way too many. I wouldn't be surprised if next time Turnpike comes back around to same cities it's a similar story and you can see them for MUCH cheaper.

that's them! yeah, it will be a good show, no doubt

Come a long way since the $5 cover charge for concerts at the horse track back in high school

even longer since the free show on the Miller Lite stage at cookoff.

Tix sold but we can keep the Turnpike talk going.

over face but well under stubhub.

It's a hot ticket right now you cheap ****s

---

Cheapest I see on Stubhub is $180 plus fees and cheapest on OfferUp is $170. I thought my price was fair.

I miss being able to see them for $25 at the Crosby Rodeo or Firehouse.

---

$15 at Harrys.
$free show in steamboat springs for being too drunk at a musicfest performance.

Turnpike holds the title for 'best show I've ever gone to' and 'worst show I've ever gone to.'

I'll let everyone get some pent up Turnpike out of their system before I spend some serious money on them.

sounds like my previous experiences with Ryan Adams.

Man one of the best shows I've been to was Turnpike at Gruene Hall with Sons of Fathers opening (Paul Cauthen's duo gig before he went solo and they're great if you haven't heard their stuff).

That was a helluva night

Cody Canada and The Departed are the opening act so should be a great night.

I remember seeing Turnpike in college a few times and falling in love with their music. 2 or 3 years ago, I was excited to take my wife to see them at HLSR, since she had never seen them live but also loved their music. That show sucked so bad.

No they aren't. Ragweed in their prime, maybe

I remember them playing in CS when I was there and regret not going. Maybe Shadow Canyon or Harry's.

Pretty sure they did a live recording at shadow canyon. And many Harry's shows in the early/mid 2000's. Always a good time.

Yes, they did a DVD at Shadow and played Harry's a bunch. Did Chilifest too. Always a great show.

If you went to A&M during the early/mid 2000's and didn't go to any of the many ragweed concerts in College Station, you missed out.
Those guys were an absolute blast to watch and some of my best college memories.

ragweed is far superior to turnpike. Turnpike has probably had a lot more commercial success, but different eras.

The ragweed Purple Album and Soul Gravy are great albums.

Is Cody Canada a good show? They were like 20 bucks at Armadillo Palace, but I didn't make it because of Rodeo. Been a very long time since I saw CCR but remember them as a great live band.

I think they are good musicians. More mature sound versus ragweed.

I haven't seen the departed live since shortly after ragweed split and they formed.

The Departed are ok. Cody plays a lot of Ragweed songs, buts it's not the same

Totally agree with this statement. Saw them in Steamboat when they played outside stage at the base of the mountain, and it was absolutely fantastic. Then i saw them their last show there when Evan was so out of it. Definitely the worst I've been to. Thought he would redeem himself at HLSR, but unfortunately that show sucked too

I'll take Turnpike over Ragweed everytime

The HLSR show was rough. Supposedly they pulled Evan out of rehab that morning. Arguably the biggest show of their career and they all looked like they had somewhere else they'd rather be.

Cross Canadian led a movement that created a new sound. It was on the heels of Pat Green, Cory Morrow, and Roger Creager but Cross Canadian brought an edge to Texas/Red Dirt sound. I joked with friends it was really Cody Canada and some lucky friends. Cody Canada was 80% of that band. Dude is really strong musically but his sound is really similar across all their songs. It's Cody's guitar and vocals and some guys dragging along.

Felker and Turnpike are much more diverse from a song standpoint. Their lyrics and sound have a much bigger range than Cross Canadian. Felker can write some amazing lyrics along with singing while the band is right behind him.

They're both great but just came along at different times. Turnpike might not have been able to do what Cross Canadian did 20 years ago but here they are.

No matter how you feel this nine minutes at Shadow Canyon in 2003 is an amazing mark in time. These are serious names at one place early in the Texas/Red Dirt movement.

I think the band wanted to be there but Felker clearly didn't. When the lyric to the last song ended he headed for the truck and just stood there. The rest of the band was playing and soaking it all in.

Everyone paying attention knew something was going to end pretty soon. Felker is the heart and soul of Turnpike and he was done.

Glad their back and excited to see how things are. Hopefully they're all back in the groove.
