I know the guys, especially Eddie, take lots of notes about the venues and figure that if they don't like the acoustics, venue folks, crowd, ticket sales, etc. it may make it less likely for a return.

Ended up putting in for Nashville, which I've not been to, and am excited for, and decided to go to try for Pittsburgh over Raleigh since they sometimes bust out surprises to close legs. My plan for both cities is to do two hotel nights, have my bags held, get them post show and hit the airport / car and head home avoiding the cost of a 3rd hotel night. Anyone else do this?

There aren’t going to be flights after a show until morning. I did this once. Flew to St. Louis day of, went to a Cardinals game and then the show. My flight was early so I probably spent 5 hours in the airport. It was pretty miserable, to be honest. I’d just get a third night.

I drove to Vegas (from LA) with a couple buddies in our early 20’s once for one night. We slept in the car. That sucked so bad.

Get him some oversized hearing protection and hold him on your shoulders, obstructing the view of everyone behind you. Ed will point him out. He’ll maybe get to sit on stage for a song while Ed sings and you’ll for sure get a tambourine. That is the only reason to bring a 6 year old to the show.

I can see where I sound like an asshole, and I am one, but your kid isn’t going to have a great time, and it’s going to affect your time as well. You should bring a friend and hope the band is still around in 4 or 5 years when it can be the experience you’re wanting to make happen now.

My kid's been going to shows with me since he was born pretty much, we've always had a blast, and he is now a well-developed 21 year old with great taste in music and a love for live shows. So no, the things you mentioned aren't the only reason to bring your kid to a show and yes, you do sound like an asshole. Congrats.
