I know it's apples vs. oranges, but I can't resist: I just compared two Dylan set lists from Oct 2001 and Feb 2002, basically the same tour. There was nearly nothing duplicated between the two. So, in a town where the Stones are playing twice (like Chicago), why not at least mix it up more than three or four songs? Do half of the show with different songs. Leave in the necessa

QuoteBeastyBurdeny QuoteNashvilleBlues Any hope for Moonlight Mile or Sway? One can dream. Steve Jordan is a big fan of Moonlight, so there's some hope. Maybe one show of the tour, in the ballad slot? Saw Moonlight Mile at Milwaukee Summerfest 2015: a musical highlight of my life, with a full moon overhead that you could only see if you were seated out from underneath the pavilion.

Does the Undercover group still have Glimmer Gatherings, and is one planned for either Chicago date?
Forum: Tell Me

Quotewineaux Quotedkwalika The location of the Shidoobee gathering was great in 2019, but I can't recall where it was. Also, there's a great Jewish deli walkable to Soldiers Field, and I cant recall that either. Anyone have a clue? We didn't make it to the 2019 Shidobee shindig since we were tailgating, so I can't help you out there! Thanks, it was Manny's!

I'm still stunned by them doing "pay to play." When did this start?
Forum: Tell Me

How about: 1. Play most of the warhorses first, so the tourists can be happy and leave later, when more gems are played. and 2. Take a halftime break, so they can play more songs. So many other bands do this now. Get Close to You and Whole Wide World are my HD choices.

Quoteyorkshirestone Btw at the more reasonable end of the scale green day - scored ga for Milan at 60 euros a ticket Cheapest still available for Green Day at Chicago's Wrigley Field this August is $144. Way up high, but that's where I sit and don't care: easy access to concessions, bathroom, and second-hand pot smoke for this old fart.

I've seen Eagles, Rufus, Buddy Guy, Pretenders, Blues Traveler, Wide Mouth Mason, No Doubt, and, last time in Chicago: St. Paul and the Broken Bones. I love hearing from bands I know and learning some new ones. How about Wilco in Chicago this year?

Tull and J. Geils' not already being in remind me of how long it took Rush to get in. I guess popularity and musicianship don't matter with some artists. Frustrating.

Quotestereomanic Thanks to 3 devices, 4 browsers and a very fast heart rate im in for Chicago #2 on LD's. Wouldn't it be nice on this tour if everyone who managed to get LD's got pit tickets. Its nice to dream! Haha. Any recommendations for Chicago Rock n Roll or Jazz related whilst I'm in town? Buddy Guy's joint is great. Also, 2120 S. Michigan. Not much there,

What's the AARP code?

Chicago hotel prices are already $125+ more for the June 27-30 window than they are now (I just got back from there after staying at the Hampton Inn Loyola North). They are always higher in summer but not that much higher.

I always thought they should do the old war horses first, then dig down for us fans who want more than Hot Rocks.

Totally pumped for Chicago 1 or 2. Just like 2019, but I'll be missing Charlie. I agree a lot of the new LP is prime for playing. Get Close is my current fave. Sweet Sounds could be the new YCAGWYW, with local choirs. Angry is a no-brainer. Rolling Stone Blues as part of a nice B-stage acoustic set with Dead Flowers and Sweet Virginia.

RE: Chicago, Green Day (with Smashing Pumpkins!) is playing Wrigley Field on Tuesday, 13 August 2024. Some here have said baseball parks aren't good for concert, but I've seen Dead and Co. (2 times) and Springsteen at Wrigley the last two years and the sound and sight lines were fine (upper deck) with the huge video displays (for us old-timers).
