Vince Neil/Stevie Stevens were awesome playing with Van Hagar at Great woods a

   Neil Diamond plays the FleetCenter on Thurs., June 20.  On sale Monday.

   Joan Osborne plays the Strand in Providence on Tues., Apr. 16.  On

You watch Neil will sell out the first day.  His music is sort of like Country &

        Symphony Pops; Marvin Hamlisch, conductor"), but tickets go on

    Ha! Can't miss that one.

    The Eagles just announced a concert here in town.
    $97.50 per ticket!!
    What the hell is wrong with these guys??  Is this the ultimate in
    arrogance or what?
    
    I figure $200+ for me to take the wife, and hear them play for 3
    hours....OR......take the money and get the cd's and listen to them for
    a lifetime!?!
    
    Paully

    
    	Yup, they were here a year or 2 ago for $100/ticket.
    
    	So you're saving $2.50/ticket.  8^)
    

    
    
    	We paid around $50 for lawn seats at Great Woods.  Anything
    	under the pavilion was upwards of $65...
    

    
    Oh stop your Eagle whining! :^)
    
    As JJ said you DID NOT have to pay $100 to hear them here two years
    ago.   You could get lawn seats much cheaper.
    
    And the CONCERT was AWESOME.
    
    And Glen Frey gave his home address and said if ANYBODY did not think
    they got their money's worth after the show, he would PERSONALLY refund
    their money!  :)
    
    /jen (just back from dentist appointment #1 and off to dentist
    appointment #2)

    They did say that there are also tickets available for $52.50.  I
    assume there is probably about 3 of them!
    
    Besides jen, you just came back from the dentist and your judgment is
    foggy from all the gas!!!!!
    
    Paully 8)

    Exactly Jen ! And Iwas there and it was awesome ! I think I saw JJ!? ;)

    
    
    	Did we run into each other there?  I don't remember.  =)
    

    At $100 a ticket they could afford to air condition hell until it does
    freeze over!

	You've got to really like a group to pay $100.00 a pop.  I paid
	$85.00 for 3rd row LoLLaPaLoseR and questioned it...

	/Cap'n Quad

    db
    
    You're just jealous because you KNOW noone would ever pay $100 
    to see any of your fav bands, sans yourself, of course.

    
    I'm just a bit weary of many folks talking about the Eagles like
    they're the only ones that have ever charged that much for a ticket.  What
    about that Streisand deal or Frankie S. or Yanni at the Acropolis (had
    to throw that one in for DB!)

    OK -- this is confusing:  The Everclear show on April 22 has been
	moved from the Orpheum to Avalon.  It is also sold out (read:
	they sold enough tickets to the Orpheum show to fill Avalon,
	then moved it -- very strange).  But, Everclear will be playing
	Avalon on April 17 as part of the WFNX Best Music Poll show --
	no info on how to get in yet.  The Lansdowne St. show will also 
	include Girls Against Boys, Scarce, Polara, Papas Fritas and

their own.

    re: last few
    
    I would pay 5 dollars to see the Eagles...... to see them drown is a
    sea of puss!!!!!!
    
    Anyone to pay 100 bucks for 1 ticket is not playing with a full deck.

    say the same thing. They are coming to Red Square I am assuming? If so,
    I may havta go! My buddy is a Zep freak so I can maybe get him to drive
    to it!!
    
    Peapods now eh? Hmm, nah, I'll leave that one alone!
    
    

    
    Mr Chop Soucy,,,,,, Cool...They are playing at Sharkys,,,,,, 8}

    
    re: -1
    
    And just where is Sharky's in Nashua by chance? I can get to Nashua in
    anywhere from 15 minutes or more depending on where I hafta go to. I
    just wish I wuzz closer to some of these clubs!
    
    

    Its downtown- Look for Simoneau Plaza and its right in there on Main
    st.

    
    If I head up via Rte. 111 coming from Hudson, I take a left or right at
    Main St. (where Carvel Ice Cream is/was at intersection)? Probably left 
    heading back towards Pheasant Lane Mall maybe?
    
    

    
    Go left and at the 2nd light take a left- big shopping mall---its
    down in the right section...

    
    
    	Behind Mister Donuts.  In the same plaza as Bradlee's and 
    	Rozumek's Star Market.
    

    Re: last couple
    Rap 3 times on the rickety wooden door that says "Deliveries"
    wait until they send out the hedgehog...that's the sign for you
    to say the secret phrase "my elephant has got big ones".  Then
    they'll reply "Where is the nearest trout stream" to which you
    respond by lighting your head on fire and singing I'm a Little
    Tea Pot.

    	Did I hear correctly that Joe Satriani will be at The Strand?
    

    when ?

    I heard the other day (Apr. 10 '96) that "Oasis" was playing a concert
    in Vancouver and about a song or two into the show someone threw a shoe
    on stage, so the band upped and left!  
    
     A SHOE!...not A BEER BOTTLE...not A GRENADE...A SHOE!!!
    
    	When asked about it, the lead singer said something to the effect
    of...We are the greatest band of all time, it took everyone a while to
    realize it, and we shouldn't have to put up with acts such as that.
    
    	First off I've only heard 2 songs from them...only one of them is
    good. (Wonderwall) And apparently this is their second album; well how
    come I haven't heard of these Brits untill about 2 months ago...
    
    	Secondly, remember what happened to the last band from Britain that
    claimed to be bigger than GOD (or the best band of all time)...one of 'em 
    ended up with a bullet in his noggin!!!
    
    	My intent isn't to bad mouth a British band, cause if it was an
    American band (VH) or a Canadian band (TTH) I'd still feel the same way
    and would lose tons of respect for them.
    
    	H.A.G.O.,
    		 J 

    
    Oasis are pretty darned big in the UK/Europe and have an unhealthy
    attitude,that is the sort of reason I don't really care for. But the
    comment about the bullet in the head is a pile of shite.John Lennon
    got shot from a looney fan and it had nothing to do with any comments he
    made in the sixties.
      The Beatles were the biggest band in the 60's,if not all time.The 
    "bigger than Jesus" comment made by John was taken out of context and
    obviously still is.
    
    
    btw..does anyone else think the guitar sound on the new Oasis song
    sounds really crap?

    Fred Schneider [of the B-52s] has gone solo?????????
    
    Exactly what is his talent?

Buffalo Tom rules. 

Peabo Bryson?  He should be on one of GTI's one-hit (no-hit) cds

Anyone who says that they are the best band in the world should be ready for a
long ride down the mountain of fame...  What balls!  Like the fact they are
currently trendy makes them the best in the world...

    
    	What'd Peabo Bryson do?  I know I'd recognize the song[s] if I
    	heard the name[s].
    
    	And Fred Schneider has been solo for awhile, Dave.
    

 >>Fred Schneider [of the B-52s] has gone solo?????????
    
 >>Exactly what is his talent?

	What does this mean exactly, he's been solo on and off for awhile...

 >>Exactly what is his talent?

>	What does this mean exactly, he's been solo on and off for awhile...

    Well... I mean... the guy doesn't "sing" and yet he's not quite
    a "rap" artist either.
    
    I won't claim to have extensive knowledge of the B-52s, but from
    what I could observe, Fred Schneider's job in that band was to
    walk around looking and acting oddly and now and then say something
    totally stupid but delivering the line as if it was something profound
    and heady.
    
    Is there a solo career for that kind of "artist"?
    
    	db

	Maybe, but he was the male lead, and it's his voice in all of their
	songs, and he does have solo stuff out where he utters more than a
	syllable, and while some may not call this singing, it does qualify
	in a...well like you said, you aren't a fan and probably wouldn't
	understand...he was the voice of a new wave of music...

    yuuuuuchhh......
    

    
    	Yuck??  Styx, reformed, is performing and all you can say is
    	"yuck"?
    
    	Of course, I just noticed that James Young isn't listed, so
    	that is a bad thing.
    

    
    It ain't real Styx unless they get James Young *and* John
    Curelewski (who Tommy "Girls With Guns" Shaw replaced for 
    Styx's slide into slop pop).
    
    That list isn't really complete either, 'cause I know Steely Dan
    is going again (the only concert I'd go to).
    
    - Sean

	Beach happens on May 3.  Tickets will be available through NEXT

    The Into Another/Shift/Garden Variety show at Axis has been moved to

    The Stereolab/King Kong show at Mama Kin has been moved to May 26.

    Randy Newman does an in-store performance at Borders (Downtown Crossing)
	on Sunday at 2 pm.

    
    	DADA?  Oh, goody ... there's a 2-hit band, and I can't even
    	remember their 2nd "hit" [even though it was the reason I
    	bought "American Highway Flower"].
    

    	I remember seeing DADA at the Nightstage in Cambridge, the
    	drummer is great. Used a 4-piece kit, great chops, the whole
    	band (3 dudes) were very entertaining.
    
    	The ZULUS ????????
    
    	Holy HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE batman !!!!!
    
    	Those guys are great, love the singer, although I forget his
    	name. He is WHACKED!!
    
    	Friend of mine saw 'em at TT The Bears, said the maniac singer
    	took off his clothes and walked out into the audience with
    	his microphone (no pun intended).
    
    	They only have one record as the ZULUS, and what's even more
    	amazing, whenever they do a HSR reunion gig at the Paradise,
    	the place is absolutely PACKED.

    
    Which reply in here has the Sting concert info? I haven't been able to
    locate it here.....grrr....have to get it to pass on to a couple
    people. I may go to! (especially if the SO wants to go....)
    
    

    
    	Check out .81, Mike.
    
    	Tickets just went on sale 3.5 weeks ago so if you're lucky you
    	should be able to get obstructed view seats ... but probably no
    	closer than Attleboro.

    	There's a very good reason for this.  8^)
    

    Re: -1
    
    My guess is that it would be too difficult to find a singer who
    can sing both DLR *and* Sammy well.  Either that or they just
    don't want to have to change out of those cool 80's clothes ;)
    
    Shane, who still thinks 5150 is one of their best albums ever 

    	Much truth in your speech...
    
    	Charlie is a dead ringer for DLR, the voice is scary. He growls
    	just like Dave did in the early eighties, and even looks a
    	little like the guy...
    
    	He has the same "flat tire voice" Dave did/does....
    
    	But I would never want to practice the drum parts from the
    	Carnal Knowledge disc, my neighbors would mutiny.
    
    	Talk about heavy drums, that recording is amazing...

    Anyone have the date and location of the Pantera/Zombie show
    coming to town? I caught part of the annoucement on the radio
    but missed the critical parts.. 
    
    
    Whit-

    
    	No date for you Whit, but the tour is coming to Hamilton, Ontario
    some time in June. My buddy who plays for the Sabre's, told me about
    this tour Before it even began. He knows the tour manager. Which
    means if they come a little closer to Ottawa, *free* tickets and
    possibly backstage etc. 
    	
    		Bobby T - Who wonders, who opens for who???                      
    

    
    	I'm sure that Whit will bring a date if he really wants to.
    

    Surely White Zombie will open. I'll leave early if not.

    Duy told me about this a week or so ago.Very bizarre...line dancing to
    death metal.
    
    Duy..let us know how it turned out.
    
    
    						Ian

    yeah the Penitentiary Club is right next to the Espresso Bar which
    we've played at before.  A couple of us walked in to the P.C. to play
    pool and we were carded by some Clint Eastwood look alike with a big
    cowboy hat and spurs that jingle jangle jingled.  Hope the show goes
    good.  If I'm around I'd love to stop by.  If for nothing else just to
    see Vital Remains playing death metal in a hee haw setting.  
    
    Shane, who still has your CD Duy..I'll put it in the mail to you along
    with the picture...sorry I forgot.

    	GFY  at the Kaleidoscope in Worcester, this Friday night
    	June 7.  Have no idea where it is or what time they go
    	on.  They're playing with two other bands - Huck    and
    	Nine {mumblesomething} from the Boston area.
    
    	Maybe after Shane sees this, he'll give you guys some more
    	details.  =)

    Maybe if Shane's band buddies could give him more details I would
    post em.  ;)
    
    Fri night Jun 7 at the Kaliedescope in Worcester.
    GFY, Huck, and The Nines.
    
    Don't know what time, don't know directions.  Soon as I find out
    I'll post em.  The guys say it's a pretty neat place and has a 
    balcony or something.
    
    Shane, who thanks his better half for reminding me though ;)

    
    
    	Not that it'll prompt anyone to go but since they're
    	finally playing a weekend night that isn't in east
    	overshoe, I'll be at this gig.  =)
    
    	

    
    Only problem is I'm gonna be in east overshoe!  Gee, Shane...you
    shouldn't play while I'm away traveling....oh...forget that...you'd
    never get to play! :)
    
    /jen (out the door to lovely New Jersey!)
    

I think that club is right on Main St, Worcester.. fairly new
isn't it? 

Wow.. Friday night.. Hmmm.. Think I might even be there! 

Depending of course what time you go on.. ;'))) 

Whit-

    I'll be in East Bum_F#ck.

    Well we called up the Kaliedescope yesterday (after many other repeated
    calls) to find out what load in times were and schedule etc...The
    message we used to get from their machine said "Sorry...we're not open
    today call back Wed, Thurs, Fri, or Sat when we're open."  So the message
    yesterday was "Sorry...we're closed...call back Jun 10 to find out if
    we've reopened."  
    
    So CP, being wise in astrological charts and phases of the moon,
    determined that if they weren't reopening till Jun 10 and that if our
    gig was supposed to be Friday Jun 7 that something was amiss.
    
    Aparently NO GIG this Friday for GFY and we weren't even called.  So
    don't bother going there looking for us Friday night.  Apparently
    they're under construction cause the building is broken or something.
    
    Shane, who was a bit upset...

    re. Note 22.166 by WMOIS::MAZURKA
    
    not East F#ck_Wad?

    I Never Heard of That Place.

    
    RE:  the Kaleidoscope
    
    Looks like the city is ripping down some buildings adjacent to
    this place...walking hazards all around with bricks being blown
    out.
    
    Kev --
    

    
    
    I actually was gonna go too... 
    
    Anyway, When I mentioned the place to someone they basically 
    responded with "I thought they were tearing that place down.."
    So, who knows.. 
    
    Man, and I was getting ready for my GFY fix.. 
    
    ;')
    
    Whit-
    

    
    
    	Rumor also has it that this place is a hangout
    	for those of sexual orientations other than heterosexual.
    
    	Some friends of mine went in there one night and they were
    	both hit on by both men AND women.
    
    	You all may just want to keep that in mind should GFY get
    	a future gig there.  =)

    	Toronto - The Warehouse (formerly RPM's - I believe)
    Saturday July 6th;  VINCE NEIL with Warrent & Slaughter.
    
    His only Canadian date...The same freakin date I have a wedding
    to go to...
    
    	Bobby T - Who is very confused as to what to do...

    
    	If you're not the best man, skip the wedding.
    
    	If you are the best man, you should have talked the groom out
    	of the wedding by now anyways ... so if you haven't then I
    	guess there's no hope for you.
    

    
    c'mon...you're such a big Crue/Vince fan there's no option!Ditch the
    wedding and go and see your idol!

    Stuck Mojo in that lineup? I had a listen of one of their songs, and
    don't consider them to be Death/Doom related at all (if it is who I
    think...have to listen to cd again when I get it back)...but good news
    with Peter Steele with Carnivore! That would be cool to see them play 
    "Race War"....thrashy stuff Carnivore is!
    
    Have fun, and don't mosh too much!

    The Boston/Cheap Trick tour (including the Great Woods show) has been
	cancelled due to Tom Scholz breaking his wrist playing basketball.

    Yet another touring festival happening this summer -- the ENIT festival,
        Perry Farrell's new project, will start in mid-August and continue
        through September.  Billed as trying to create "a community of
        humans and aliens," each show will begin in the late afternoon and
        end at dawn the following day.  Events during the festival will
        include a mass tree planting.  Acts on the tour include headliners
        Porno for Pyros, Love and Rockets, Black Grape, The Orb, Lady Miss
        Kier (of Deee-Lite), Meat Beat Manifesto and Nancy Sinatra.  No
        idea if a New England date is happening...

    Richard Thompson is doing an in-store perfomance on Sat., June 29 at
	noon at the Tower Records in Boston.

    An exhibit of David Byrne's multimedia visual art will be at the
	Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams from
	July 27 through October 20.

    Bay City Rollers!!!!????
    
    
    
    
    

    
    SA TUR DAY!
    
    Hey!
    
    

    
    
    	Oh man.......  I used to love the Bay City Rollers!
    

    
    	And RATM is rumored to be adding a 2nd show on 08/06 if the
    	08/05 show sells out.
    

    
    me too!!!! Im proud to say that I have that album... and I bought
    it because they are all wearing really tight pants... 8}

Tight plaid pants?

    
    And don't forget the hair!   
    
    

    Yes! Plaid!

    
    	Plaid hair?
    
    	That's very odd.
    

    
    Gosh...I wonder if the Stray Cats will show up soon!
    
    

    
    	Brian Setzer is still around, I believe.  They could possibly
    	have a reunion tour/album.  Good band.
    
    	Actually, I just saw Brian in "La Bamba" about a month ago.
    	Of course, the movie is a few years old, so it's not like that
    	counts for a "recent sighting".
    

    
    I saw part of La Bamba and was suprised to see Brian as Eddie Cochran!
    
    
    
    					ian

    Brian Setzer is now fronting the "Brian Setzer Orchestra".
    
    	db

aka Alka Setzer?

    
    BSO has two CD's out now - the first one was selft titled and their
    new one is called "Guitar Slinger."  "Guitar Slinger" features
    Joe Strummer from the Clash as well as Brian.
    
    - Sean

    
    	Any good?
    

    
    Beats the heck outta me!  They've been on my "To Buy" list, but there
    they remain...
    
    - Sean

    
    1989 -	Flip's first invasion of the US.
    
    
    Hey Ian, you lied....I didn't see one chippie in torremolinos!  Neither
    did I see a stuffed straw donkey!
    
    But what I did see was the US Navy hit town - the biggest bunch of
    wankers I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.  Still, it kept the
    brothel in business.
    
    Flip

    
    geez,maybe Torremolinos cleaned up it's act(NOT)
    
    
    btw...care to explain the word "wank" to the nice US people? 8)
    
    
    ...and when are you coming over?

    >>btw...care to explain the word "wank" to the nice US people? 8)
    
    
    Oh, lesse...Pete Cook comes to mind...

    				- Paul

    
    re Ian.
    
    Sure.  US Navy = Wankers = men who have to play with their own penis
    because no self respecting human being would consider doing so.
    
    Flip

    
    re: .225
    
    I take offense to calling ANY US Navy person a *wanker* pal! I spent
    almost 9 yrs in the navy (avaition shore-base Sub chaser aircraft) and
    you are for sure off base on that one. But then again, you are entitled
    to your own opinion. There are good/bad people all over the world, I've
    known many of each! And yes, there are idiots in any branch of service,
    no matter what country! 
    
    So...
    
    
    Wank on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   ;-)
    
    

	I was in a forward Division base camp on the DMZ, as grunt as it gets
	and there were wankers there, tough one's but wankers none the less.

	/Cap'n Quad

    Actually it was the "wanker" total in the US Navy which caused me to
    get out!  But that doesn't mean they all are.  I just have a zero
    tolerance for "wankers" and stupid people!
    
    Paully

    Thanks to CONCERTGOER John DiFonzo for the following:  Pearl Jam
	has announced their upcoming US tour.  The only two New England
	dates are Sep. 26 in Augusta, Maine and Oct. 2 in Hartford.
	There are also New York dates -- Sep. 28 & 29 in New York City
	and Oct. 1 in Buffalo.  No ticket (or venue) info yet, but 
	tickets will be on sale through another ticketing agency, not 
	Ticketmaster.

    Stabbing Westward have replaced Goldfinger at the Sex Pistols/Gravity
	Kills show.

    
    RE: -1
    
    Boston Globe printed a retraction today.  Smashing Pumpkin tickets DO
    NOT go on sale this Saturday (August 3rd) but DO go on sale NEXT
    Saturday, August 10th instead.
    
    /jen

    Tickets for the Pearl Jam show for Augusta, Maine on September 26th go on
    sale Sunday, August 11th at 1:00PM.
    
    1-800-225-5045
    
    Tickets are $23:50.
    
    Maximum tickets: 4
    
    Not sure how they are enabling this technology, but:
    
    o ticket purchases not allowed from a pay phone or cell phone
    o must call from a New England area code in order to purchase tickets
    o once you place an order, the number you called from will at that point be
    blocked from making any more calls or placing any more orders
    
                                                                             
    
    

    
       - Tickets for the Oct. 2 Pearl Jam show at the Meadows in Hartford
    go on sale this Sunday (Aug. 18) at 10 am.  The only way to get tickets
    is to call 1-800-225-5058  (NOTE:  this is *not* the same number as was
    used for the Augusta sale yesterday).  This is a "talk to a computer"
    system (similar to NEXT).  The Augusta show sold out in 5 minutes...
         More info is available at http://snafzone.com
    
       - The Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan show at Harborlights has been cancelled.
     
       - David Bowie is doing a very short club tour of the US (only 4 dates,
         I think?).  One of the shows is at Avalon.  It'll happen on Sep.
         13 or 14 (depending on which rumor mill you believe).  
    
    - Ron Sexsmith has been added to the Elvis Costello & the Attractions show.
    

    
    
    	How can a concert sell out in *5 minutes?*  Takes longer
    	than that to complete a transaction!  They must have an 
    	abundance of operators.........
    

    
    	Isn't that amazing?
    
    	If it were someone good and I had any desire to go see the
    	show, I'd be very disappointed.
    

NEXT can sell out greatwoods in about 20 minutes.  If you get through after
10:05 you'll be on the lawn.

They have hundreds of phone ports where you type in the info using the phone
number pad.  You can usually buy 8 tickets.  So if each transaction takes 2
minutes and they have 200 phone ports they can sell 800 tickets/minute.  If they
have more (I bet they do) then it's higher.

Tim

    
And a reminder:
    
    Pearl Jam tickets for The Meadows in Hartford are on sale Sunday
    at 10 am at 1-800-225-5058.  The place is like Great Woods; prices
    are $22 for reserved pavillion and $15 for general admission.

    Love Them Pants They Wear! 

    Gonna keep on dancin to the rock n roll

    	I looked through this note for info. on Bush tickets, but I could
    not find any. I know they are going to play around here soon. Can
    anyone tell me when and where, and when tickets are going on sale?
    
    					Thanks,  
    
                                                 Jim

    
    
    	No one knows yet..........  we're still (impatiently) waiting.
    	All we know thus far is that they're playing the Fleet Center
    	on April 12.
    

What might I expect at the Crispin Glover show?  Is this the same guy who
played Michael J. Fox's father in Back to the Future, and who seriously
weirded out on the Letterman show a few years back?

adam

        Shows at the Orpheum Theatre in Foxboro, MA.  (tickets
	available at Strawberries):

		Sat., Feb. 22:  Rick Danko
		Fri., Feb. 28:  Richie Havens
		Sat., Mar.  1:  The Clancys & Robbie O'Connell
		Fri., Apr.  4:  BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet
 
        There's a scalper ad that mentions the Garth Brooks shows, but
	indicates that there will be extra shows besides the one already
	announced.  The shows listed are Apr. 17 + 18 at the FleetCenter
	and Apr. 19, 20 + 21 at the Centrum.  This is only rumor, though...

        According to the Globe, KorN is playing the Central Maine Civic
	Center in Lewiston, Maine on Thurs., Mar. 27.  I don't know how
	one goes about getting tickets for that place.

        The Bush/Veruca Salt show on Apr. 12 at the FleetCenter goes
        on sale this Saturday (Mar. 1) through Ticketmaster.  
    
   Second:  here's a quote from Saturday's Boston Globe:

        "A concert by Soundgarden, scheduled to play at the Gosman Center,
         Brandeis University, on Nov. 19, has been canceled.  Refunds will
         be made at point of purchase."

        I take that to mean that they've finally announced that the concert
        that was abruptly called off over 3 months ago is not going to be
        re-scheduled, so, if you're still holding on to tickets, don't
        bother.

    
    
    
    	aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
    
    
    	I *knew* this would happen.  The one day I can't sit on the
    	phone calling for concert tickets.  *(^&^&%&*%^%$^u
    
    	Anyone else going to be purchasing tix for Bush that wouldn't
    	mind getting 2-3 extra?

  The Boston Globe reports that tickets go on sale today for Road Show '97,
     a series of "hippie-groove shows" (their words, not mine) -- I would
     assume that Ticketmaster is handling the Somerville Theatre and

     handling the Middle East, but I'd call the respective ticket places
     to make sure.

        mean that) Great Woods schedule will be announced on Tues., Apr. 8.

        going to be the backup act for the first leg of the U2 tour (until
        mid-May).  We don't have info for the Foxboro shows yet.

    Lori Carson performs live at the Tower Records in Boston on Wed., Mar. 26

        and The Hazies.  It's on Fri., Mar. 28 at an undisclosed location
        and you can only get tickets by winning them from the station (18+).

    Is Angry Salad just another garden variety band, or did you just toss
    that in there to get me going?

    
    	Lettuce just pretend he didn't even say that.
    

    I wonder what they actually do in the dressing room, before and after
    concerts.

    
    	It's pretty hectic before the show, so they're probably russian to
    	get everything ready.
    

    You guys are good... 8)

      in Manhattan to Laguardia airport.

    
    Keep me posted on Rollins sightings....I *hope* he would play the

    Ooops, didn't see that.  Excellent.
    
    

    
    
    Globe reported that the Rolling Stones will be playing
    Foxboro Stadium some time this September.  No exact date's
    yet but the band confirmed that Foxboro would be one of the
    stops.
    
    Stones are in LA finishing work on the album that will be
    released before the tour starts.
    
    Awesome!

      Earl & the Broadcasters, NRBQ, Cadillacs.

      Tonic, Bloodhound Gang, Linda Perry, Ryan Downe and Treadmill
      Trackstar.

    > The Dave Matthews Band shows at Great Woods are sold out.
    
    You mean the "Bela Fleck and the Flecktones show".
    
    Dave Matthews is "closing" for the Flecktones.
    
    	db - who's got his tickets
    
    

    Db, don't forget Carter Beauford, he'll be closing the night for
    everyone. That guy has chops to spare, not to mention the talent to
    know how to use those chops...

    There's a WAAF benefit for Vietnam Veterans happening at Mama Kin
    [Tmaster]
          during the last week of May.  I don't know when tickets become

   The Lollapalooza line-up looks more or less finalized.  It looks like
       there are two planned Great Woods shows (July 8 & 9).  The main
       stage for the tour has the following acts, but I don't think that
       they are all playing the whole tour, so I don't know which of
       these would be at Great Woods:  Devo, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion,
       Korn, Julian & Damian Marley and the Uprising Band, Orbital, Prodigy,
       Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tool, Tricky.  Second stage for Great Woods
       is supposed to contain the following acts -- eels, Summercamp,
       Dr. Octagon, Jeremy Toback, Old 97's, Inch.  Tickets on sale in
       May some time at which point the line-up will be *really* published.

   The Ozzfest is sold out.

   The Web page for the '97 Warped Tour is up -- http://www.warpedtour.com --
      and Sun., July 27 still looks to be the date closest to our area;
      it's listed as being Falmouth or Hartford.

   The NEXT web page lists the following acts at the HORDE festival 
      at Great Woods:  Neil Young & Crazy Horse/Beck/Primus/Widespread
      Panic/Soul Coughing/Ben Folds Five/Leftover Salmon/Cake Like.
      No ticket info yet.  Rolling Stone says that Blues Traveler will
      be playing HORDE at Great Woods, too.

   The Chieftains/Richard Thompson show at Harborlights has been cancelled.

   The KISS-108 concert is sold out.

   The Dave Davies show at the Paradise has been cancelled.

   Matthew Sweet plays the Hampton Beach Casino on Sat., May 31.  I
      *think* tickets go on sale tomorrow [Tmaster].

  Mail order for the July 4 Furthur Festival at Riverside Park starts 
     May 5.  Ticketmaster sale starts May 8.  The show is general admission.

  Also, the Lilith Fair web site is saying that tickets go on sale for
     the July 22 Great Woods date on Sun., May 11.  More on that next
     week.  For the record, the Lilith Fair dates directly before and
     after Great Woods feature Sarah McLachlan, Tracy Chapman, Cardigan,
     Paula Cole and Fiona Apple, so I would bet the Great Woods lineup
     would look fairly similar.

    
    
    
    	Yeesh.  Having the lousy memory I do, I kept forgetting to
    	post this.
    
    	Shane's band, GFY, is playing at Sir Morgan's Cove on 
    	Saturday night.  It's a charity gig to benefit the MDA.
    	I think they're slated to go on first, so it'll be around
    	9:00ish.  I don't know the names of any of the other bands
    	that are playing but I'm sure a call to the Cove would get
    	you that info.
    
    	Sorry for the short notice.
    
    	- JJ
    

    JJ- last I heard there are still ticks for Bush....

    
    
    	yeah, but they're lawn seats.  I don't want lawn seats.
    	Thanks anyhoo.

    on a Wizard of Oz thing!Has anyone heard about watching the Wizard of
    Oz and listening to Pink Floyds "dark side of the moon".You start the
    disk just after the 3rd roar of the lion(the movie logo lion not the
    cowardly kind)and there is some spooky coincidences between the music
    and movie.Side one(if you listen to the record)finishes just before
    Dorothy enters the technicoloured land of Oz!
    
    
    I know this to be true cuz Kurt Loader told me! 8)

    I heard dat too.  But probably won't check out the theory cause I never

Gig Friday Yooohoo...

Hi all.  Been a while since you've seen a post from me eh ?  
Well just wanted to let you all know that GFY will be bringing
the rock back to Worcester, yet again, and playing at the world
renown Sir Morgan's Cove this Friday night.  Don't worry all the
fame hasn't gone to our heads.  But it's very hard to not get
caught up in the attention when you're opening up for bands
like Edge of August, Gage, and Uncle Wally.  Before you know it
we'll be playing with somebody really cool like the Bullet Boys
or one of those other washed up glam bands from the 80's at Sharky's
or something.  So stop by at the Cove this Friday night, we go
on at 9pm.  It's a $5 cover but if you mention you're there to see
GFY you'll receive no special treatment and still have to pay the
$5.  But if you do mention our name at the door we'll get $2 per
person.  So we'd like to break our all time record of $10 so bring
a friend.

this sarcastic plug was brought to you today by Shane, and the 
letters G, F, Y.  

seriously though, hope to see a couple of ya there just to say hi and
have a couple drinks ;)  Laters...

    God I miss him! :(

    When are they gonnaplay at Sharkeys? I can make that trip! ;-)

    Wish I could check out your honey's band, JJ.

    
    
    	Well, if you ever make it to NE again, we'll see what we
    	can do!  =)
    

    
    
    	I'm sure you'll all be very excited by these next two:
    
    
    	Slaughter, yes, that's right, Slaughter.  June 12 at Chantilly's
    	in ManchVegas NH.  Have no idea how much tix are.  Hey SueJ, wanna
