I was at the Johnson, Carter & Kennedy Museaums...all beautiful archetecture and great documented history at all 3. Unfortunatley the Royals will not be in town when I am there!

The Jazz Museaum and Truman Library are right up my alley. Thanks for the good pointers. Presidential Libraries are some of the best versions of US history around!

Yep! Hbo Reverb. I have the taped version that appeared on tv. I wish I could get my hands on that full video! That show was sooo intense and Jeff was hillarious!

They also have Creme Burlee ice cream which is also amazing!

Thanks! I'm already hungry and I still have 3 months till Im there!

I will be out in the heartland in July for a few days. Was wondering who has been to these places, are there any good sidetrips recommended (Council Bluffs, Lawrence, Lincoln?) Also what are the best BBQ Places and Steakhouses in either city. Please let me know if there are any must see places too! Thanks!

I would assume the venue gets rented out and a fee gets paid by the promoter on top of that they do get a portion of the ticket price. I know there is maitenence but why should a lawn ticket and and orchestra ticket have the same building facility charge! $6 is excessive too!

On top of that what gets me is building facility charges. All tickets at the PNC this summer have a $6 building facility charge! Even if you get lawn tickets! What building are you using there! On top of that if you go to PNC's box office tickets are not service charge free becuase they claim to be a ticketmaster outlet instead of a box office. I then tried to buy tickets for other venues shows there and they said only pnc shows available! What a crock!

Story on Brooklynvegan! http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2007...tmaster_su.html What a joke. TM says Stubhub is unfair in ubtaining tickets. How about ticketmaster is unfair in distributing tickets! Any msg show you can't get in the first sections even if you log on in 1 sec to buy tickets! Opinions!?

Marr is an excellent guitar player and Morrisseys lyrics are classic. They have influenced a ton of bands. I think they are a shoe in!

Feb 15,1997 Irving Plaza, NYC! Still my fav Wilco show by far!

JUly/Aug shows $20 for lawn in Baltimore! Hopefully some cheaper theater tickets will also be around!

Any of those craptastic duets with Santana Ie Rob Thomas, Michelle Branch Uggh! Mariah Carey and Celine Dion can be added to that mix for good mesure!

Time Out New York Magazine is great to pick up the week you arrive! Also just look at pollstar.com to get an idea of what shows are coming to town before you arrive!

If I am unfamiliar with a new album I will listen to before. Ie I am seeing Son Volt wednesday so I have been listening to the search alot. But if not I usually will just listen to a band the day after I see em.

I'll be there...You mean the Filmore not Irving?

I'll be there too!

Got through on the box office phone number at noon on the button....6th row... keep trying...Hammerstein went really quick!

Thanks for the info....I was planning on buying NYC tickets the same time...I am not that good at multitasking

10am I thought the onsale was? Anyone with info?

First Album which I split with my brother was Billy Joel "Stormfront" First Concert Tony Bennett 1986 Hershey Park w/parents First concert by choice REM Madison Square Garden NYC 6/95

I actually pick up my new Fountains of Wayne cd at the closest cd store to the actual Foutains of Wayne (Circuit City in Wayne)! I don't know why that was soo exciting?!

U2 "POP"...their most underated album!

Hmm they are very similar..I am just passing them along....the one difference I see is there is no Montreal date...I saw them there on that tour.... I hope you are right though because I rather see them elesewhere besides Brooklyn or AC!

Besides the fact they are not playing MANHATTAN...I guess they look good..I mean why play Brooklyn on a Monday NIGHT! AC HERE I COME INSTEAD!
