Anyone going to the OAR Show at Hoyt Sherman? Never been.. Pics of the Theater looks pretty cool!

It will be tight.. Not leaving Western Iowa till 2:30 or 3.. gotta stop at the hotel first..

That doesn't have much info in it about the "tailgate". What's the set up for food and drink - anyone know? I have tickets for the tailgate, but if it's just crappy food for sale, and $10 beers, I'm skipping it in favor of a nice meal and good beer.

Is the Event center parking lot the only place to possibly tailgate? My buddy is with some friends, don't know if it's a great idea down there.

So I'm a DMB fan but not a hard core fan. Going to the show tonight (saw him in 2009 and loved it)....what songs can I expect him to play besides the obvious favorites? Gonna list to Dave at work today to get into the mood.

Any idea how long the concert will be?

~ 4 hours. There is no opening act, and DMB starts playing right around 7 in their acoustic set. Then they break set and come back as it gets dark with the full on electric set and break just before 11 after encore.
