Came across this on DIGG. Cool pics: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0707/gallery.nhl.goalie.masks/content.1.html Don't think i'd ever seen this Al Capone one

McDonald? Lanny? Ronald?

That was an show to go to almost every summer for about 5 years in a row. Always a good time. One of the years there had been a lot of rain, and they had just re-sodded the lawn section the day before. Of course, it ended up being a sod war (just like a glow-stick war but with hunks of sod). It was insane!

jam band fan or taliban? Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. http://jambandfanortaliban.blogspot.com/

Good tip! I'll try and remember that. I've been meaning to check that place out for years now. My mom went ages ago and said it was amazing.

Send him and his turtlenecks back to the motherland. Good riddance.

i don't think they are capable of a guitar solo. Have you ever heard one in their stuff? There was a decent interview with 2 of the guys on The Hour a month or so ago. I was surprised. Too bad their music doesn't match the interview.

We don't need no stinkin' reserved seats ! ! It was perfect. Anyone who wanted to chill in a fold up chair did so at the back in the cool shade of the trees (not banana trees ) It's about hearing the music. I've always liked the fact that at shows like that you can relax at the sides/back and then boogie up front for a few songs (and nobody gets their nose out of joint) and then groove on back. You gotta design a really TALL lawn chair and take it in to the Ottawa Blues fest and set 'em up in front of those cantankerous other lawn chair people ... no rules on chair size right?

But does there really? For some acts maybe, but I know more venues that don't allow you to bring your own chair in than those that do. Just wait until the first person tosses a chair in the crowd, then you'll get a NO LAWN CHAIR rule fast.

It's all good ... you'll be flying with the pigs :)

Funny, i noticed that too. Maybe they've got some sort of Gilmour/Waters kind of relationship now

Streaming this right now ... fucking SWEET! http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/ConcertDetail.aspx?id=50758|826 Bob Marley and the Wailers Music Hall Boston, MA 06/08/1978 Late Show Tracks: 16 Total Time: 1:13:15 Bob Marley - vocals, guitar Carlton Barrett - drums Aston Barrett - bass Marcia Griffiths - backup vocals Rita Marley - backup vocals Judy Mowatt - backup vocals Tyrone Downie - keyboards Alvin Patterson - percussion Julian Marvin - lead guitar Bob Marley and the Wailers were completely jacked and ready to rock by the time they hit the stage for this, the second of two shows recorded in June 1978 for the King Biscuit Flower Hour. A good deal different than the early show, this recording is a better representation of what Marley did at most of his legendary U.S. concerts. Opening with “Concrete Jungle," he and the Wailers start with a warm slow burn and build up the roster to offer a full platter of Marley songs that have become, by now, true reggae classics. Marley rarely sang the same song in the same way twice and this recording is proof that he remained a true innovator whenever he performed. He glides vocally (with help from his back up vocalists, the I-Threes) over one of the tightest rhythm sections you will ever hear. Highlights include "Get Up Stand Up," Marley’s funky take on "I Shot The Sheriff," and an extended version on “Exodus" to close out the set. In truth, most of Marley's original compositions have become essential classics in the reggae cannon, and for those familiar with the studio catalogue, its breathtaking to hear his unique voice lend a new, unique life to the songs in concert. To Marley, reggae performance, in many ways, embodied a real devotional practice for a Rastafari; for the audience congregated there to witness it, the experience certainly must have inspired awe. Three years after this recording was made, Marley was dead at 36 from a brain tumor. If you were never able to see a live Bob Marley and the Wailers show, this recording will give you a good idea of what an amazing performer he was in concert. Not to be missed.

Yup. You're up in the 500s, but what the hell. lots of room and no lawn chairs

Problem for many of us around here is that we have been "spoiled" by going to so many shows where the audience is actually INTO the performance and the majority respect one another and don't get argumentative about trivial things. Get into a "mainstream" show and the bullshit seems to rise to the top and causes problems. And in the case of PFunk, the shit seems to get all over the bathroom too

Yup, good ol' TicketBastard ... be prepared for the $10 service fees ... they are SOOOO good at servicing you . Sorry, I should have linked to it in my first post. Here's the direct link: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/10003E4EBE0F7892?artistid=736426&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1 Hell, it gets you in the door. I gotta get to this show again. Tour closer is driving me to figure out a way to get Sat night off

Take a look at who's playing (as of now): http://pollstar.com/tour/searchall.pl?Content=C-IL_Chicago&StartSearch.x=16&StartSearch.y=12&Market=Y&Date_From=09-01-2007&Date_To=01-11-2008&By=City&PSKey=Y

basically you can't make everyone happy all the time.

Get rid of chairs. The split down the middle idea is a joke. That will just show people how LAME the majority of the "sitters" are when you get a P-Funk show going. Music makes people MOVE.

Good work man!

give it to 'em

AD, still on hold? Just sit down in your lawn chair and wait ...

I'd rather have somebody dancing quietly than somebody sitting and talking through a whole show.

listening and waiting to hear ya now stream the show here: http://www.cbc.ca/radio/

Blame the organizers who booked the band for the show, IMHO. Research! Those who were offended would most likely have been happier to have THIS:
