Dunno about Jimmy but I think tix are alread being sold for Taylor.

    Yes, Taylor is a definate....Jimmy is a rumor that's going around,
    as is ELTON JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    In *Nashua*.....unbelievable.
    
    The bad news: this year, there's an upper limit on the # of concerts
    and it's only *10*

    James Taylor tickets have been on sale for awhile.  We already got
    ours.
    

re .2  Hi CJ!

Also ....

I believe I read in the Nashua Telegraph last year, at the end of the series,
that they'll be bringing in groups that are more "family-oriented" this year
... not sure what bands fall under that category, but it excludes the Allman
Brothers.  :^(

- Dave

    Then expect to see, I know the spellings are wrong, Rosenschanz and
    possibly Raffie. I know my 3 year old will love them. Maybe they'll
    be on a double bill. That could be trouble though as there could be
    a big stink about who goes on first. Can't have any riots among the 
    tots now can we?
    
    Sarcasm off, I personally consider the Allman Brothers to be family
    oriented. G's & R's, well that's another story. 8-)

    Re: -2 Hi Dave!
    
    Yes, I heard rumblings about that too...but who's going to define
    ``family oriented''???
    
    I also heard something about the concerts being particularly LATE
    in the year.  That's really a shame, I think they were one of the
    best things to happen to Nashua.  
    
    I'm not sure I would call Jimmy Buffett more family oriented than
    the Allman Brothers.  But, hey, what do I know????
    
    --CJ--
    

I think there was some kind of obscure tie-in between "family oriented" and
"not as loud." ;^)  Several people around the stadium complained specifically
about the volume level of the Allman Bros. concert.

- Dave who got to talk to Gregg beforehand and was amazed he made it through
  the show ;^)

 We know Dave, we know :-)





 Jim

    James Taylor will be playing in August.

    RE: -2, etc.
    
    No Dave, you got to talk to Gregg Ale....
    
    get your facts straight!!!!!!!

   According to the tour schedule I received yesterday there are no Holman 
   Stadium dates scheduled, however there appears to be a lot of open time
   between the GW date, (Jul 9) and his next show which is in Chicago.




  Jim

	I just got tix for James Taylor (Aug 23, 7:30pm) today.  I have never
gone to a show at Holman stadium and wonder what the seating categories are.
Ticket Master was all but useless in giving info.  I got "field" tickets
($25 each plus another $5 service) but have no idea what that means. Presumably
that could be anythying from OK to terrible, as the tickets have been on sale
for some time. They gave no row or section info. Is there a better place to 
get Holman tickets?

	Thanks in advance,
	Mark

	PS: I asked Ticket Master on a chance if they had a Bonnie Raitt date
	    listed for Holman; they don't.

    Hi Mark,
    
    Re: -1
    
    Yes, I know how the seats work.  It's pretty easy in fact.
    
    the lettered sections (i.e. A B C D...) are the seats.  I think
    B is the best seats, as that section is the first 25 rows of the
    center section.  It basically goes A B C then, behind A, D E F
    and so on.  
    
    After the #'d sections, there is a GA area.  I think this is what
    they call field.  If so, I don't know if they are planning on putting
    seats in there.  Last year, they didn't.  
    
    After the General Admissions area, there's the bleachers.  You can
    usually tell those by the cheap price (like under $20).
    
    I usually get tix at Rainbow CD store, up by exit 8.  Opens 10am
    the day the tix go on sale.
    
    --CJ--
    

    Better check it out.   I called Rainbow CD recently.  They told me they
    are no longer selling concert tickets.  Too bad.  They were really good
    at getting great seats.  They said they have another store in
    Manchester that will be selling tickets.
    
    Good luck!
    NK                    
    

    This just in....Allman Brothers will be at Hollman on 8/22
    
    No ticket info as of yet.
    
    Guess they are family oriented, whatever the *&^% that means!
    
    --CJ--
    

	well, they're BROTHERS, that's as family-oriented as you can
	get :-)

    Any info on another Michael Bolton show at Holman this year?
    Last year's show was excellent...

-1



if I have to wait hours for him to ascend the stage
this year I am bringing a bag of rotten tomatoes to
throw at him......

    There are now 4 confirmed acts in Holman this summer:
    
    Natalie Cole
    The Beach Boys
    Santana
    James Taylor
    
    More to follow...
    
    K.C.

    RE: -1
    
    ....and Tickets go on sale 08-JUN (Monday) at TICKETmaster
    (J.T. TIX availble now).

Paula Adbul is scheduled.

WBOS announced this unconfirmed rumor....quite
loudly this morning.

Stay tuned....


TW - a Nashuan who thinks holman schedule stinks
     so far....

    I rather LIKE the lineup!  I can imagine a few nights sitting out in
    our yard, digging the sounds... (although for the Beach Boys we'll
    probably walk down to the park and listen there).
    
    K.C.

    Official...add the Allman Brothers to the Holman schedule.
    
    K.C.

Paula Adbul is not touring and is pregnant.
She will not be at Holmen afterall.

TW

    Nobody ever said that she was for certain.  The only CONFIRMED shows
    are:
    
    Allman Brothers
    Beach Boys
    Natalie Cole
    Santana
    James Taylor
    
    K.C.

	When do the Allman Brothers Tickets go on sale????

	

    
    	When is the Santana show scheduled and when do the tix go on
    sale (how much are they, anyway)?
    
    
    					
    Brad Page	 

The Santana show w/Phish! is July 22nd ... I thought tix were on sale now, but
not sure.

Does anyone know the regs about bringing in stuff to Holman...food, water, etc?
And, if one has tickets for the "lawn" can one bring chairs?




Thanks

JIm

I am going to the Santana show tonight and have never been to Holman Stadium 
for a concert even tho I live in Nashua. Where would one park?

Thanks!
Sam

 If you get in the area early enough there are some places on 101A..I don't know
if the locals like folks parking in front of their homes..last year they ran
buses from Pheasant Lane Mall (plenty of parking there) and I believe if you
are coming north on rte 3 right around exit 5 or 6 I recall seeing signs for
parking/shuttles.



Jim

	Anyone have deatils on the Pheasant Lane Shuttle (or others)?

/ml

 Last year the process was to park your car, head into the mall and go to the
Service Center (or whatever it is called) and buy a ticket ($5?)..then proceed
to the mall entrance (where Charlie's) restaurant is and hop on the bus.


Not sure how the others worked.  I'd suggest calling the mall, or perhaps the
Nashua Center for the Arts and maybe they could give you more details




Jim

    Does anyone in here know what the sound is like at Holman (like, does
    it matter where you sit?).  As far as directions, is it Rt. 3 N to exit
    6 and right off the exit?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    -Jesse

Better late than never maybe?

Rte 3 North (called Everett Turnpike in NH), to exit 6 east (rte 130, called
Broad St.) ... after a mile or so (? I'm not good with distances), rte 130
will merge with rte 101A (Amherst St.).  You'll see Milano's pizza at the
merge, and Richdale's convenience store on your right.  The stadium is a short
distance after that on your left.  If you get to Nashua downtown, you've gone
too far.  You'll need to park before you get to the stadium, though.

You can also take exit 7 east if you miss exit 6 - that's Amherst St.

Can't say much about the sound as I've generally sat in about the same area.
I know people up at the front have said it's loud.  ;^)
