remphish1 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I tried to get my college to book Wilco. I remember it was a steal. They went with some flavor of the week like 3 Doors Down that cost a lot more. My college booked Wilco the year after I left I did get them to book Guster. Which is I think the only concert we made money on! We had a good run though but barley made any money. We had Jon Stewart, Dave Chappel, Live, George Clinton, KRS One..also had a lot of crap Everclear, Everlast.....I did what ever I can to get semi decent artist but when you are voting with 15 not so musically inclined college students it was an exercise in futility!

solace Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 i believe Wilco is closer to $75-100k these days... just like 2-3 years ago, Ben Kweller's guarantee was only $500... we were tempted to book him to play our house a few times edit: yeah, that site says Wilco is $50,000+ (note the plus) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yo La Tengo came here the year before I got here But we've been trying to get them back again. Wilco came in '99. I cought yo la tengo at cornell (I lived 20 minutes away in high school) and it was amazing. Guitar freakouts abound, throwing it in the air, epic nuclear war, sonic noise wars... ...oh they also played Mr. Tough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mingus Big Band was great about 8 years ago and now I see you've got Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra coming. Also some band called Fucked Up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Peel Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 $5000 for billy joel's daughter. Your choice of phrasing really cracked me up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN $10-15,000 That's a lot of dough to hear Mister Dobalina and 15 songs you've never heard of. And from the WTF files....HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS $100,000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And from the WTF files....HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS $100,000 If I heard Dobalina, Clint Eastwood, then all of Deltron 3030, I'd be in heaven. I'd love to hear that album live. But, I'd demand he not play anything from I Wish my Brother George Was Here or the 11th hour, or anything else for that matter. I could do with some of the Both Sides... songs.
