I got the e-mail as well. I'm glad the Detroit shows weren't changed. I live in California, but was really bummed to see that all 4 California dates were scheduled for when I was visiting the East, and that the Detroit show was scheduled for the day before I arrived there. I spent $300 to change plane tickets so I can get to Detroit on the day of the show Tuesday. Nice to hear about the DVD. Now if only they will release a DVD of the O2 show.

beatbo Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 the fabulous fox in st. louis is one of the best venues in the midwest (and i've been to many). chuck berry's 60th was filmed there and made into a movie (hail, hail, rock and roll). so, don't bum too bad, it'll be a great show...

Let us know how the Detroit show goes on Tuesday. I had thought about going to the Chicago area show but decided against it since St. Louis is closer to me driving distance and all. I must say I was impressed that I got a phone message from Metrotix about the date change also. I guess since it was such short notice they did that.

Yes the Fabulous Fox is a great venue. It has wonderful sound and is a site to see. I am so glad they restored it back in the 80's as it was run down and in shambles till they did that. I think it was back in the 80's they restored it. I am still bummed about the change in the date but I guess I will survive. The positive side to this is I am going to try to get better seats for the 2nd show they added. I just hope I can afford the gas by the time Sept rolls around! We are at $4.09 a gallong or more here right now. Until then I will check out the Youtube videos of their concerts and get my Robert fix that way!

Led Zep Gurl Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Isn't there flooding in St Loius? Perhaps that was a consideration as well....?.... I don't think it has flooded yet there but might. I was wondering the same thing if they postponed it in case it was going to flood. The Fox is downtown but quite a ways from the River and the last big flood they had 15 years ago it didn't flood that far to the fox just the steps up to the Arch were flooded. I lived in North Carolina at the time but I asked a coworker last week about the St. Louis flooding 15 years ago and if the Fox was affected then.

Thanks for the report and glad you had a good time. I was so bummed all day yesterday since that was supposed to be the day of the concert in St. Louis, MO. Oh well, I guess I will wait till Sept to see them. I am still waiting to hear from the Fox when the 2nd date (Sept. 25) tickets go on sale. Gonna try to get better seats for the 25th to replace my original tickets for June 19th that will be honored at the Sept. 24 show. I keep checking their website daily and the Metrotix has my phone number since they are keeping a list of people who want tickets for the 25th that had tickets for the original date. The person at Metrotix said the postponing of the concert really messed up alot of peoples vacations and all and since it wasn't announced till last Friday alot of people were already off work or getting ready to go on their vacation and come to St. Louis for the concert. I am almost tempted to go both nights to the concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Zep Gurl Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 I hope that is true I may have to see about going.Its a long drive but it might be worth it. It is true. You can go to the Fox Theatre website here and read it for yourself: http://www.fabulousfox.com/shows_page_multi.aspx?usID=88 It was also listed on the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss website but since the June 19, 2008 has passed it is no longer listed there but is on the news area listed here: http://www.robertplantalisonkrauss.com/site.php?content=news It mentions July 19, 2008 but that is a typo they didn't catch. I wished it wasn't true and the concert would have been last night! I was so bummed all day at work. I guess I will have to wait. I am wondering what they are gonna be doing from July 19, 2008 when the listed tour dates end till Sept. 24-25, 2008 rolls around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just be happy they choose The Fox to film! Hey, you may appear in it, if your seats are up close. * I'd be wearing my best "Robert concert outfit"* I once had to wait till November, when he was supposed to play in the late spring early summer. I was preggers at the time, and was worried sick I'd be in labor when he came. Luckily I gave birth ONE week before the concert, and I hobbled in with tits full of milk and a two hour time clock to get home to feed my baby girl.

I checked the fox website and it states that too: http://www.fabulousfox.com/shows_page_single.aspx?usID=93 So does the RP/AK site: http://www.robertplantalisonkrauss.com/sit...mp;content=news Still lists the original show as July 19 that is a typo still.

I am not as worried now that they might cancel since they have scheduled more dates around that time now too in other cities. My tickets aren't the best either since I waited pretty late to buy mine when the original date (June 19, 2008) was on. If I knew I was gonna have to wait till mid Sept. I would have went to the Chicago show too and saw them there but didn't know at the time they were gonna reschedule the St. Louis date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
