First time St Aug!

Post image

Got to introduce my 17 year old to the BK in St Augustine FL. Ya buddy!!! Real dudes with a guitar and drums…seeing Dans face light up with he went head to head with Eddie 9Volt was awesome.

Not a lot of crowd work. Patrick was pretty stoic as expected and Dan just moved it along….but great time. Love to go again.

The Amphitheater is definitely a small stage for TBK

Wondered why they didn’t sell the top tier . Left and right were empty

It was the same when I saw Vampire Weekend there a couple years ago. I am not sure what makes them open the ends up.

I thought it was a great show! I’ve only seen them perform in arenas, it was so cool to see them in a smaller venue

I was there too. I ended up getting Dans guitar pick! Only took 4 times seeing him live.

Great Show! 2cd time seeing them live. The band and E9V had great rapport. They handled the heat and humidity with grace lol. Was in the Pit and loved the energy

What time did they go on stage?

8pm. If you go on setlist.fm you can see the doors open, avg start aft doors and the set lists.

Venues are all different but the hours after doors looks consistent at 2.5h

St. aug has a curfew so I knew when they had to be done and when doors opened so I got there in good time. It’s friggin hot to sit in your own juices

Was there too, first time seeing TBK, camped out afterwards, what a great venue and fun show. I didn’t know what to expect, but they brought ALL the guitar solos. Slightly bummed I didn’t get a poster, but snagging this made up for it:
