Saw the Delaware show; you guys worked hard and were jamming yer asses off only to have the whole show ruined by a def audio engineer with a ego problem. Everyone there was telling him how bad the sound was (no high end, couldn't hear John's vocals or the harp etc..) and he was too arrogent to do anything about it. Loose the soundman guys and we'll try to catch yer act again
Eric Messerschmidt, Baltimore MD

do you post set lists and where do you post them if you do

I saw on icast.com that Blues Traveler would be playing with Live and Bettie Severt (sp?) at Roseland, NY on Nov. 22 - does anyone know if this is true?

You guys plannin' on coming into the Midwest?! It's been a while!

Hey Anonymous #1 - we post all setlists for the current tour on BluesTraveler.Net at www.bluestraveler.net/tourdate.html.

Anonymous #2 - icast uses gigmania.com's listings, which are good but have been wrong in the past. According to Bettie Serveert's web site, they'll be in Holland in November, and Live isn't on the road in November at all...

--Dave

Guys - you gotta come up to Toronto, Canada - I know you've had some troubles up here with the law, but you've got some big fans up here!!!

Guys, you need to come to the UK, I've converted all of my friends, and now we're all die-hard BT fans! I read that you were gonna concentrate on europe next year, is that going to happen, and if so, could you confirm that there would be at least one date in the UK? Thanks.

Will Fletcher

Glad to see you back up on tour. Psyched to see you at 9:30 Club in D.C. Hopefully you'll have gotten the kinks ironed out and your tour feet nice and calloused. peace-Brian in Baltimore, MD

Saw the Delaware show too. The sound was terrible. No highs or midrange. Alot of muddled bass. Thought it was me standing at the side, but then I went to the soundboard straight away and it didn't sound any better. Left after a few tunes.

My son and I were at the Charlotte show last night (1000 capacity venue). Our long wait has obviously provided the band a chance to step back and look at their music (and health, way to go John!!!). Ben is a godsend for the band, but turn his volume up a bit. Tad proved himself throughout musically especially on mofo, mulling it over, and mtn cry. As a whole the sound was great. Rage is a very well composed song.
In '93 I missed the opportunity to see them at a joint this size and was kicking myself ever since. THANKYOU for this mini venue tour!!!
Very nice of you guys to sign and hang out afterwards.
Brico
Charlotte, NC
p.s. John, my son thanks you again for the signed harp!

Checked ya'll out at the Tremont in Charlotte. Brico and Son were right in front, way to go Dad! What a nice show it was, sound was tough at times and yes, turn Ben on up a notch on those keyz. Rage was a niceun', Tad is keeping that backbone nice and funked up, nice to see Chan and Tad trading grins as Chan burned up the strings. Popper, lookin' good and Brendon kept that perfect beat. Welcome back BT, good to have you on the scene again! Big Red, Charlotte

When are you planning to come to Oregon again?

I would love to see you guys come to Texas. I have recently joined the TRUE BT music lovers. Since I have started listening I have found more people that love it too. Please plan a trip to Texas in the near future. And if there is a preference...Houston would be nice.
Thanks - Brent

The Tuscaloosa, Alabama show is tomorrow. I really want to just talk with the band for about 10 minutes. If anybody has "meet and greet" tips I would appreciate 'em.

You guys rocked the House of Blues at Myrtle Beach! Can't wait til Feb for the new stuff! Thanks Rush!!!

Was at the Delaware show. Right at the stage in front of John. Ditto on the High end. Could hear John fine but turn up Ben's keys. Could hardly hear him during his Crash burn and MF solos.

Side note, the girlies are digging Tad. I home they can get by the GQ look long enough to hear the kick ass bass.

The HOB show last night was just wonderful and I'm still singing Gina, Stand, Sweet Pain, But Anyway, NYC etc.... I once saw you guys, I believe, 96/97, New Years Eve at Madison Square Garden and you guys only get better.

Your new bass(6 string!!) player Tad and, Ben, the MAN on the keys (those solos were just rad) are just some terribly talented musicians and they really fit that BT glove well.

Just had a great time and it was great to see you guys once again and I will always spend my hard earned money on BT shows and music.

Thank you BT (from the guy about 2 rows out screaming for you to play stand...sorry I was a little excited)

Hello, I was at your show last night at the HOB in Myrtle Beach, SC. I want to thank you guys for an awsome concert. Your concert was extra special tome because the tickets were a gift from a very good friend, who gave them to me after he found out that my father was killed by a drunk driver (a month ago last night). He knew how much of a fan I am (I also play the harmonica and was attempting to teach my friend), and wanted me and my wife to have a good time. Tanks BT! But mostly thank you Randy Litman!

-Richard M. Phillips

Are you guys really comming to Miami?

Hey,glad to hear about Miami. However, Tampa and St.Pete have alot of great venues that you can fill, and it has been a LONG time since you have been here. We really need a good show to come around, please think about it. Dinner is on me.See Ya-Evelyn(Aka Beba)

My husband Chad and I can't wait until Nov. 1 when you play at the Farm in Charleston! We have traveled several times to see you guys place (Horde Festival in NY..Virginia...) and are psyched you will be in our own city!!! Hope to catch a harmonica, Popper!!
Shannon W.

oops - "PLAY" not "place"...DUHHH! Glad it's FRIDAY! Shannon

Nov. 18: MON-TRE-AL! for my b-day?!?! C'mon guys, don't forget your canadian roses!

The Tuscaloosa, Alabama show last night was rockin'! I was right in front of John. I loved the impromtu "Sweet Home Alabama" redition. Everything is going well, I want to thank John for throwing a harp my way and signing autrographs for my cousin to give to me. I also want to thank Chan for always making eye contact with me, it was great I knew right when the handclaps came in and everything and I think he was impressed. Hope you guys dug the Southern Hospitality! Come back when the album comes out.

WOW! What a lucky person I am! Just recently moved to Birmingham in July and to my surprise, my husband and I have had the privaledge of seeing you guys not Once but Twice in the Month of October!!! And the 2nd best part was for a total of $10! Nothing can beat that. The Mercedez Show was awesome and left me drooling for more (since it was about 1hr 15mins)! I'm used to 3hr BT shows hehe =) The new guys ROCK! (Ben and Tad) Good picks JPop! Last night we caught the FREE show at UA ... WOW! Loved everything about it ... And yes I realize you all had to play to the Bama crowd ... That was the only time I ever enjoyed listening to Sweet Home Alabama HAHA! Always love the way you all interweave songs ... all GREAT bands do that so well (Dead,Phish,BT,DMB) We have also had the luck to be right up by the stage for these 2 shows. Closest we have ever been to you guys! As far as catching a harmonica ... our luck has sucked! We have always been on the opposite side of the stage where you(JPop) have thrown them. boohoo One day! *dreams of catching one* How awesome it would be! Thanks for the fun guys and the ear for listening!
From 2 loyal fans since the HORDE Fest in New Orleans '91! PEACE!

DOH! Make that '93 New Orleans HORDE Fest! *embarassed* Slip of the finger!

Go West, young men! Do I read the tour list right - Las Vegas is the furthest West you're getting this year? I thought the new album was being recorded out here? How about a quick jaunt up the coast - surprise show at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz would be nice. (though not toooo much of a surprise - tell us!)

Hey, I'm over in Charlottesville, and I was wondering if John will be making an apppearance with the band when they come to Trax November 5th? I heard that he's been taking it easy since his injury, so I was just wondering if he's feeling better...thanks

When in the hell are you guys coming to the midwest? Everyone in this part of the country think you guys are no longer because you never play shows here anymore and I don't think that is fare to the fans. So lets see some touring over here.

I have been a fan for about eight years. LAst time I saw you was quite a few years ago on the west coast have since moved to vt and am waiting not so patiently for the pickle barrel show!...

I've been a fan for five years now and only seen you guys twice. I caught the end of your show at Summerfest because I had to park like ten fricken miles away...I had a couple of buddies see ya a Red Rocks and they said you guys kicked ass and they aren't even "real" fans...and I missed cause of summer classes at University of Wisconsin Stevens Point....You need to get to the midwest!!!!11

yes yes, PLEASE come to Oregon. I'm a 17 year old gal, and I really really, really really really want you guys to come.

Please.

Where was the TBA show for 11/18 going to be? I heard it was New Hampshire. As a resident of this fine state I would love to have BT drop by. Please say it's gonna happen.

I saw the Carrboro, North Carolina show and God, am I impressed. Congratulations men and thank you for continuing. I hope you all know it means a great deal to your fans, we appreciate you!
Met the entire band, John looks incredible. I finally, after 9 years, got a chance to hug the big man, GREAT hug.
Thank you again gentlemen, nothing beats seeing you live in a venue smaller than Roseland, I am still smiling and that was over a week ago.
Much Love and Respect,

Gluey, Gluey, Gluey, Ill say it once. It is great to have yall back. "Lawnpartystyle" It is great you stay true to the music we all started out with way back."Palmer Square" It is great you kept it in the family,"Dowty Smack" Check Out glueybrothers.com, the next era in music and performance, see yall on the road Lurkmaster.......

the Pittsburgh show rocked, what a beautiful night. I want to thank the band for making my years as a traveler well worth it. After all this time I finally had a chance to meet the band and i was taken aback by the kindness, sincerity and most of all how HUMBLE they all were. Your music continues to touch my soul and even more now that I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet you guys. I would be awesome to sit down and have a beer with you guys and hear the stories behind the songs. JP you look awesome keep up the good work. And the band could not sound better. It sounds different w/ the keys but in a good way. I would have loved to hear Mtn Cry @ the pittsburgh show but the bottom line is it was some good old fashioned Blues traveler, the sound that I fell in love with 11 years ago. Keep it up guys, and thank you so much for how you treat you fans. words simply can't express. "we're so damn good that we try to lose" w/ that mentality we will be hearing BT for years to comr. THANK YOU!!!!!

Guys, I have been a fan since waaaaayyy back in the days of the first album, when I was telling EVERYONE how great you were, and that it was a crime that the trax werent being played on the radio. It took a few years but I knew I was right when I originally said if they just played But Anyway on the radio a few times, I wouldnt be the only one walking around whistling that tune.

Well its been awhile since you have played in RI or MA, and you have no dates for us on this leg of the tour...... we miss you greatly. I know some old haunts in Providence like the Campus Club are no longer around, but they just renamed it as Lupo's, so pleeeaaassee come on by.

Hey, I'm from Australia, and I'm a blues traveler fan(well duh!) I was just wondering if you guys are planning to tour australia in the near future? It would be greatly appreciated=D

I`m a fan from Todtgluesingen near Hamburg/Germany and I`ve got a whole lot of friends who are all keen on seeing BT. When can we see you playing in Germany?

Gettin PUMPED for the zen fest.You can't beat a little P-FUNK and BT in the warm Miami sun.Thanks for comming way down south to end the tour and good luck on the new album.

John,

Thank you for never forgetting your friends nad having the courage to move forward with the legacy which is what B would have wanted. Looking forward to my 38th BT show, even though no shows for Ohio, I will drive the 10 hours back home to Philly so I don't miss the show.
Be Safe, Be Happy, and Keep the Faith.

Halloween was great last night at Cap'n Harry's Blue Marlin Bar. Tonight will be great at the Music Farm! Can't wait for this special 'small arena' show. The other show reviews sound phenomenal, and we're sp lucky to have them coming back to Charleston. I'll be sure and try a post a review tomorrow. PEACE

Hey, BT...
Wondering if you want a jazz/funk trumpet player to jam with you guys @ Northern Lights in Albany, NY. I've loved you guys from the first time I heard you. I've also played with Jamie Nothartomas, a guy that John and Trey Anastasio from Phish played with. Email me if you want, my horn is always with me...

I for one would love to see you in the Tampa / Clearwater area , any chance of it happening?

Ok, everybody here is complaining about when BT should come back to there area. Let it be known, us starving BT fans in Texas have not heard the boys live since 1995, unless through H.O.R.D.E. PLEASE COME BACK SOON! I have checked your tour dates religiously for a long time only to be disappointed. COME TO TEXAS!!

What about us Canadians? I know Saskatchewan would be a long shot for you boys, but how about edmonton, calgary, or winnepeg. I'd definitely pay good bucks for your tickets.

Hey BT-You know that TBA for November 18th...how about a show in CT...the Meadows in Hartford always loves you guys!

please come back to Oklahoma soon! BT is much needed in the bible belt

Awwwww yeah!

I can't believe BT is playing the 9:30 Club in DC next week. I haven't seen the boys in over a year and I can't wait for the show on Tuesday (11/7)!

Hey Boys!
Just wanna thank you for an incredible show in Athens. I was the White Diana Ross. (the pizza boxes in hand represented "the supremes" just so you know.) John, I think you winked at me. It was great to see you all play. I've been hurtin for certain from the booty shakin beats...what a Halloween treat! Be good.
kate

Hey kids! I have one and one thing to say. You are coming to Vermont. Know what that does to my already abundant love for you guys? (Well for your music lol) It probably oh I would say, doubles it! See you at The Pickle Barrel. Ciao

Do you think Seattle is in your Tour Dates soon?

Hey. I saw the Gettysburg College show, and it was GREAT. You guys played for over 2 and a half hours and the place was rockin' for every minute of it.

Is Blues Traveler gonna add more shows? I'm in PA, and I missed both of their shows here.

I don't care what Howard and K.C. said, I know your not in the closet POP

Stop by in CT!!! We miss you and love you. Heads High and keep traveling!

2 more days till Vegas! YEEAH!

Hey guys! Wish I could come to Vegas to catch the show since that is as close as you are coming to Phoenix this tour. I just would like to say that we better get preferential treatment next time around, which by the way, hopefully won't be too far into the near future. I am so looking forward to a new album and hearing the new line up. Don't make me wait in vain!

Hey.. So Long time No see Down In Arizona =) you Know it's lovely here this time o' the year =)
By the way.. I'm really thankful for Four.. you wouldn't believe the number of nights I listenned to that CD while fighting Wildfires up in Montana and here in AZ. ---Jeanne

You guys have gotta come to AZ! I've been a big fan for years and I've never gotten to see you in concert! It's nice out here! Lots of... dust... and cacti... and smog... You like smog?

Hey , iknow everbody thinks people in UT suck, but there is alot of people that dont. I know tons of people who would die to see you guys in concert, i would also. So come to UT

John you look great!! Get some of your extra skin cut off and make it into a whip and beat Howard Stern with it!!!!

Hey, I am jonesing for a show. Any chance of making it to the LA area? I can't wait to see you.

yes please come out to the LA area soooon guys. Not enough of your kind of music around.

John, you once left a message on the answering machine of my best friend, Clay Scanlon, telling him what key "run around" was in. Now he is an 18-year-old harp playing wonder and graces the blues bars of Cincinatti where he attends Xavier U. Is there some youth musical contest he can win to meet you?
---Shawn in St. Louis (pinxnake17@aol.com)

-Ragtop.

I've been dying to see BT for a long time and finally caught the show at the Pickle Barrel in VT. They kicked ass. ~dew

Any plans for Boston in the near future, Can't wait for the new cd, you guys ROCK!!!

I hope the next time you come to Colorado is before July!

You guys coming to the UK? Your stuff needs airing round here!!!

You need to come over to Oklahoma, like Tulsa/Bartlesville. I love you guys!

I was at your Buffalo Ny show @ the Side Show and holy moly can I not find the words to give you credit for your talent. Thing is, at the end I reached out my ticket stub and marker to Popper to sign and as I have this in the frame of my mirror I wonder why, and why does this signature mean enough to be stuck there. You guys are just like any other guys only you get paid and are emmensely popular and it's hard to realize how many people there are in the world and just how many of them know you but how many of them can just call you up and catch a movie?

The show at The Pickle Barrel in Killington, VT, was absloutly wonderful! All i can say is thank you blues traveler for being such a kick ass band. Your songs are terrific, your pressance is amazing and the way you interacted with the audiance was heaven sent. Thanks for talking with me and my friends outside afterwards, despite the freezing cold, and snow. You gave us a night we will always remember! Thank you for being so nice,! Keep up the great music! The four new songs sound great!
Thank You!!! Love, Anna, the smart girl in the flip flopps!

i cannot wait to see you

Well, I regret what I had done at the HORDE festival show in Holmdel, New Jersey, on July 31, 1998. I met John Popper right after he was guest starring with the band "King Norris" and we were walking around together just chattng about whatever came to mind... I knew he was a great musician, but not all great musicians are as nice as John to their fans and especially take the time to get to know them and spend time with them.
Well, this was before the "break" and before John had his health problems... so he had been bumming cigarettes off of me. I totally regret doing that, and I cannot express how happy I am to hear about his great great health and I'm proud that he did not give up in trying to get in shape. I knew he could do it. Keep up the great work Blues Traveler, God Bless all of you and your fans!
Ryan - Middletown, New Jersey

Dear Blues Traveler,
I've been a fan of the band sence Hook came out, but what got me to start listening to your music is what a friends brother said. I came out of shop class and Tie (my buddy Woodstocks brother) saw me and thought I was John Popper. I've been told that the resimblence is uncanney. Oh, my question is, Are you going to tour Oklahoma any time in the future.

Thanks,
Your Fan
Christopher T. Westmoreland

Red Rocks 2000 was the show of shows. Please never stop! Crystal Flame-Nice!
I hope we will see you in the Rockies again this July 4th!

Yo, I so you guys at Gettysburg College, and it was slick as anything. Tad and Ben are fittin in well, its like blending Chan's hard rock, John's blues, Tad's funk, Ben's soul, and Ben's whatever. The cover of no woman no cry was unbelievable. Thanks Chan for throwing your first pick my way, you guys are my heroes, including bobby (god bless him).
