George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24

How is that going to not tear the holy hell out of the sacred grass?

The last concert there was on grass. We put down a floor that had ribs on the bottom so most of the floor was inches above the grass and it had holes in it so the grass could still breathe. The floor didn't go down until just a day or so before the show.

That Floyd show would have been sick!

It was. I was on a follow spot for it and the show rocked.

JP just said 70k tickets, been working on it over a year, and ISU landed it because the promoter has a tie to ISU

I am really curious how they are going to prepare the stadium for this. In the past the ISC crew would work for a month or so putting everything together for a stadium show. Pretty much none of us are left working there so there is no institutional knowledge so they are going to have to figure it out from scratch. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that they will be starting over and having to figure out all the little things that might get overlooked if you haven't done a concert before - especially a stadium show.

I went to GS at the state fair in the 90s. They sold buckets of Pabst. Those smaller buckets that they fill up and then you take cups and pour them into like it was a pitcher. That lasted one bucket, then you just bought the bucket and drank from that.

That sounds amazing.

best stage show I have ever seen.

Funny. I went to his last tour ever in January 2020. All he did was hawk his tequila. Guess he ran out of money.

I imagine 99% of it will be contracted out.

I missed that Floyd show because I was taking calc 2 (math 166) over the summer and had a final the next day. Remember studying outside our apartment over on west street and could hear comfortably numb from there.

My only stadium concert there was McCartney. Somehow I skipped the Stones and then U2 because I had a stupid gf back home. What an idiot I was.

 

[Cupped]

A friend scored tickets for the U2 and Pink Floyd shows but I camped out for both Stones shows. The camp-out lines at CY Stephens were tough fun and became small communities of their own. Wrist bands or stamps were updated at random times so it really was a battle of attrition. I needed 28 tickets for the first Stones show so had to do a lot of horse trading with a 10 ticket limit.

Any idea when we'll know what ticket prices are going to be??

I am planning to have to give up my left kidney. The right one is already promised to the medical billing departments.

For reference, the in-the-door price (upper deck) for Atlanta next month is $129, floor seats up to $395, and front row $2k.

Those are the actual prices, not re-sale.

Anybody know if there's any way to buy presale other than being an American Express cardholder?

Not brutal IMO for this lineup.

Godsmack killed it. Dueling drums FTW.

That was the weekend of my 21st birthday. We came to see Metallica, but were more impressed by Godsmack.

The dueling drums was one of the coolest things I've ever seen at a concert.
