ollie Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm gonna grab a pair of tickets from Vertigo Records after work. VIP tickets are $20 more than regular but I can't find a seating chart anywhere. Such an odd choice of venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Such an odd choice of venue.I wondered about it, too. Are they just setting up a big stage on the grounds of the War Museum, as they did for Blues Fest?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 probably. it was designed to be a concert field, glad to see they're using it. i think it's a great choice of venue, too bad it's not getting much use. hopefully next summer. think about Rush or Genesis playing there instead of the arena? sweeeeeeeeet. in my mind, anyways.

ollie Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Here's the setlist as taken from another message board. I'm not much of a Scorpions fan so I didn't recognize much besides the new songs and the big hits but it was still an awesome night of metal.We decided to upgrade our tickets to VIP when we got there and saw that the general admission section was behind the soundboard -- really crap sightlines. It was well worth it as we ended up about 3 rows from the front. The cheap tickets should have been $20 max, not $62!Other than that I thought it made a great venue. Lines were a little long but bearable. Bar service was great since they didn't care how many beers you ordered at a time. $4 a beer was reasonable too.Did you ending going AD? Security was non-existent and I saw a bunch of people hopping the fence.The ScorpionsAugust 28, 2007 - Lebreton Flats, Ottawa, ONHour 1 Bad Boys Running Wild Love Em or Leave Em The Zoo Coast to Coast Deep & Dark Send Me An Angel Holiday Humanity Make it Real I'm Leaving You Tease Me Please Me 321 Bass Solo(with Voodoo Chile, YYZ, & Enter Sandman) Drum Solo Blackout Big City Nights Dynamite!

AD Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sounds like fun. I didn't make it, had an unplanned unconscious experience on the couch and didn't get up til it was un-prudent to go down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
