So, funny story, to me at least. I didn't see an opener announced on the ticket, website, or anything. There was an opener. They said their name, but I didn't catch it. Nice enough jangly pop, none of it recognizable. Then they played "Out Of My Head" by Fastball. They then proceeded to play two more Fastball radio hits. It WAS Fastball. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chuckrh Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Message from Neil Young regarding concerts & the pandemic. Neil hits the nail on the head, so to speak: “Recently I pulled out of Farm Aid for fear that unprotected children may become infected with Covid by folks who went to the show, caught the virus, had no symptoms and returned home to hug their kids or someone else’s kids. I felt that we didn’t know what we were up against and we were endangering others, unprotected innocent children in particular. I know of tours that are out there and have to stop where they are and isolate in motels because one person among them tested positive. I ask myself, why are they out there? Money and business. These two need each other. This has been the American way for years and years. Now it has turned on the country in a new way. The big promoters, if they had the awareness, could stop these shows. Without that, everyone just keeps going like everything is OK. It’s not. Live Nation, AEG and the other big promoters could shut this down if they could just forget about making money for a while….. They control much of the entertainment business. They hold the power to stop shows where thousands congregate and spread. It’s money that keeps it going. Money that motivates the spreading. The big promoters are responsible for super spreaders. These giants of entertainment just renovated a lot of old venues and spent a lot of cash to do that. Now they can’t stop selling tickets to pay for it. Money and business. That doesn’t make this OK. It’s a bad example. Folks see concerts advertised and think it must be OK to go and mingle. It’s not. These are super-spreader events, irresponsible Freedom Fests. We need Freedom to be safe. Not a bad example. This could be just the beginning.” https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=A-Message-Farmaid-And-The-Pandemic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brownie Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Lindsey Buckingham, if I don’t chicken out of going. This will be my first indoor concert since December 2019 (and only my second concert overall since then) if I do in fact end up going. I bought this ticket back in June, when I expected things to be very different now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very glad I was sitting in the sparsely filled balcony where most people adhered to the mask requirement. Unlike down front up against the stage where it was packed and no one wore a mask. I felt more like myself last night than I have for the better part of two years! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
