-
wow!!! what great news. you should post this important information in the Just Announced thread!!!!!
-
indie is the new mainstream...
-
I'm there...wow, what a lineup!
-
who's sponsoring this show: vh1's "where are they now, before they go away, and reunited"?
-
Better than usual. But too expensive.
-
What happened to 20 bands for 20 bucks?
-
"A special performance from the New York Dolls"
Does that mean that the other bands performances won't be special? Anytime Jimmie's Chickenshack and Citizen Cope appear on the same bill, it seems pretty fucking special to me.
-
What happened to 3 bands for 3 bucks?
-
What happened to the 9:30 Club 2 for 1 ticket specials for subscribers?

A few years ago I went to a WHFS concert with a "special performance by James Brown". He was sandwiched in between two flavor-of-the-minute radio bands and played (literally) for 10 minutes. My ticket cost about 40 bucks - to see this.
So, as nice as it was to see the NY Dolls on the bill, I have serious reservations about buying a ticket to this one. I doubt that Citizen Cope (??) and Jimmy's Chicken Shack (?!?!!?) will be shown the same respect when it comes to the allotment of playing time. In defense of HFS, NY Dolls isnt really their brand of music. I don't think so anyway.

oh yeah good stuff

Some of y'all are frickin nuts. Basically you want to see shit for free. How much are tickets...less than $50. For an entire day of music? I don't get it, I thought you were music fans.
By chance, I fucking LOVE this lineup and am not supposed to be in town that weekend. I'm cryin' in my Crystal (which I'm sure I'll be accused of drinking).

40-65 bucks really isnt that bad for a festival. I actually like festivals, unlike most I've seen on this board. The problem is this: As much as I would like to see a few of these bands, I don't want to pay that much to see them play 25-minute sets in a massive, concrete complex, stuck between bands I don't really care for. I love Social Distortion, but do I want to see them play for a short period of time, from a half mile away, surrounded by drunken fratboys with Coldplay t-shirts? Actually, who knows? Maybe that sounds like a great idea. I dunno. The bottom line is that the huge venue and short sets and diluted (depending on whose opinion you get) lineup make it worth less than the ticket price. To me anyway.

Small wooden venues smell better !

You lot can be a handfull...why focus on Jimmy's Chicken Shack and Citizen Cope??? why focus on the cons, instead of the pros??
Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Interpol, Garbage, ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN, Stereophonics, etc...that's a great line-up! and stop the bitching about $50..jeez..

Am I the only person that actually kind of likes Jimmie's Chicken Shack?

I don't find them odious, but I wouldn't attend one of their concerts (unless they were opening for someone better).

Some dude on the HFStival board said that Social D said they weren't touring again after this year.
Any truth to that? vansmack?

presumedly so.

When in town, fans of Jimmie's Chicken Shack stay at the luxurious Three Cocks hotel (http://www.threecockshotel.com/).

Thanks, walkonby, for showing that I'm not a Cristal-swilling swell....(though I do drink imported beer sometimes).

At the '98 or '99 festival, there were dudes selling counterfeit tees outside the show. The giveaway was "Jimmie's Chicken Snack"

??? Y.P, are you implying I'm going to need stain remover after the Foo Fighters/Echo/Social
D/Interpol/NY Dolls extravaganza? Or does it have something to do with CANADIAN stain remover??

Anybody know where in the stadium the 65 dollar club seats are located? Quite a markup from the 40 dollar Gen. Adm. seating,but is it worth the extra cost?

Between the lower level and the upper level. It's air conditioned and leather seats and stuff.

Thanks, I was looking at the seating chart for the stadium and it didn't list anything but specific levels. Wasn't sure if they were in a certain section or went all the way around at a certain level.I'm a big fan of stuff ;)

I like this lineup. I'd much rather see The Cure, but this year's lineup is better. I grew up listening to Echo and the Bunnymen, so I'm thrilled to see them! And Coldplay is worth $40 alone.
I can see why there is a lot of hating on JCS, but I can't deny that Pushing the Salmonilla Envelope is one of the best CDs of the 90s.

we are so there bunnyman...its like 1993 all over again with echo and the bunnyman!

I think I might be getting in free? Which is crazy/awesome because unless they announce someone else I don't think I'd be paying.
