Note : ...............................................................
The Beacon Theatre has closed for
6 > 9 months Renovation and will supposedly reopen
in March 2009 for the ALLMAN BROTHERS
40th. anniversary shows there.
Let's hope that MSG's Jim Dolan doesn't
ruin this like every else he touches !

MSG will be closing for Renovation from
June > September 2009. They will be removing the
seats from the best Loge sections ( 100's + 200's ),
to make way for Corporate Luxury Boxes.
They will then remove the current boxes from the
upper nosebleed sections and replace them
with seats. They will then raise the ticket prices
for all future events. We the people, will pay for
the corporate boxes with our tax dollars and
increased ticket prices. Thanks Jim Dolan.

OPINION : .................................................
.............................................................................

TicketMaster should be appropriately
renamed TicketShyster or ScalpMaster.

On July11; re : Eddie Vedder Tix @ United Palace.
Tickets were sold out within 10 seconds of going on
sale for 2 nights. > 3300 seats x 2 nights = 6600 seats

Yet @ 1:07 pm, just 7 minutes after going on sale,
they were being sold on the
Ticketmaster owned scalping site
> TicketsNow.com > for up to $600 per ticket.
How many tix did Ticketmaster hold back for
their own scalpers + ticketbrokers ?
Coincidence or carefully orchestrated corruption ?
I think I know, do You ?

Too much Partying
-------------------------------
Back in February of 1995,
one of my friends > Bob Grosswiener,
( who is one of the most prominent, prestigious,
smartest, but not the nicest
of music critics in New York City's history )
said that if Greg Allman and Jerry Garcia
both didn't head to Rehab immediately,
they would both be dead by the fall.
Greg did and lived, Jerry waited tooo long and died.
Bob was right !
......................

13 years later and Rumours are flying around that
the Allman Bros. traditional March Madness shows
at the Beacon, have been set back to May
beacause of Greg being at rehab.
Rumours also speculate that Mr. Van Halen has
rescheduled some shows for the same reason.
Amy Winehouse is no role model,
but is easily the best new artist seen in a long time.

Just a few names to be added to the
R n' R Rehab Hall of Fame !

This is Sacrilegious. It is not as if Irving Plaza doesn't have a worthy history of its own. It's probably following the Beacon as having the Most Great Rock Shows of any venue still operating in NYC. I've seen over 1,000 shows there, literally. I remember the first time it closed ( 1986 ) and the RAMONES played the last show. It's really one of the best rock clubs anywhere.

************************** ************************** Guide to the Gutters of. NYC ................................................................... ............................................................. When buying Tickets on the street, be wary of the New York city street Hustlers !!! .. About only half of the scalpers are semi-trustworthy. Many will sell You Counterfeit tickets. Those outside IRVING PLAZA are notorious for this. That's why they have the Large sign outside stating this. MSG is just as bad. Try to buy off a credible ticket broker instead. Rather, try to buy them off someone actually attending the show, who had a friend who didn't show. Always offer a little less than their asking, at first. This is known as bargaining. Outside MSG, they'll try to sell you phony tix at twice the price; while in Jersey, outside the Meadowlands or Giants stadium, you can probably get Legit tickets for only half the price. The same goes for Jones Beach, which is a State Park and actually subject to different Laws than those of. Long Island. Therefore, if you get caught selling a ticket there at any price, you can be arrested ! .. Because of this, ( most of the time ) you can get a ticket outside for half-price or less. Some people have been fined there, as well as NYC, for just attempting to Buy a ticket. Be Careful ! Many Venues sell additional tickets, for sold out concerts, on the day of the show. Because of .corporations, tourists, and hotels, willing to play premium prices for all major events, NYC is the hardest city to buy tickets in. Sometimes it is better to call a Ticketmaster in another city, to get tickets for a New York city event. I remember a situation outside a Grateful Concert at MSG, around 1992 : Two teenage girls were at a moment of realization. One said to the other " He wouldn't rip us off, would he ? He wouldn't just split with our money. He WILL come back with our tickets. We gave him our last $100 over an hour ago ! .. Oh my Gosh ! " ( And they never got in ) I also remember watching a tourist couple on their Honeymoon, who asked a stranger to take their picture outside MSG. A few seconds later, their expensive brand new camera was gone quicker than if it had its own legs, never 2B seen again. Today, I-PODs are a hot item. When wearing an I-POD, try 2B aware of. what's going on around you, because if you don't, the muggers will ! .. The white earphones are a giveaway. Try to get different color earphones, and don't wear your I-POD where it can be seen. I suggest wearing only one earphone, so you are more aware of your surroundings and what's going on. Don't count your money on the street or in the subways and don't flash jewelry. And REMEMBER : you're not in Kansas anymore ! When traveling the subways alone at night, try not 2B the last person getting off the train. As in any Jungle, the last one in the Herd is usually the first 2B picked off. And those in front of you won't see what's happening. 2B or not 2B QUESTION :......What is the #1 killer ............. of. Women in New York city ? ANSWER : ... Those who visit ATM's ................................... alone at night !	COMMENTS ___________________________________ I saw Roger Waters going into the John Prine show at Town Hall with a NYC promoter. Could they have been discussing NYC Pink Floyd shows ? I met Jackie-the Jokeman Martling at LES. PAUL Birthday show at Carnegie The Who benefit show at Gotham Hall on June 13 was GREAT ! ( only 400 people ) I saw the STONES play for 15 minutes at Lincoln center on May 9 @ 1:20pm . Later that afternoon, I met Robert .PLANT outside Central Park ! On May .10, Jimmy. PAGE rang the Bell to open the New York Stock Exchange ! An Eclectic 24 hours, for SURE ! In March, after the Met Opera, myself and a Lady Friend met the Opera Man himself , Adam Sandler, at a takeout place. He was knowledgeable about Rock n'Roll and a down-to-earth guy. He asked how my friend, the legendary Joe Franklin, was doing. After STING's show at Irving Plaza in mid-May, I handed him a flyer and told him I listed all his shows on this website. He siad "I've seen this website and it wears me out" ! The DARK STAR ORCHESTRA's shows at Irving Plaza on May 27, 28 were amazing ! . I actually thought they were better than the DEAD at Jones Beach last summer. ( except for Warren Haynes guitar solos ) . Rob Barocco added finesse to the alresdy near-perfect recreation of the Grateful Dead experience. ------------------------------------------------ *************** Bally's Hotel + Casino in Atlantic city, has a unique new state-of-the-art sound system for all their concerts : there are no speakers or amplifiers on stage ! The musicians plug their instruments into jacks, which are installed in the floor of the stage. From there, they are transmitted to wireless ear-sets. These fit over the ear and the volume is adjustable by each member of the audience. Considering the poor quality of music one hears at most rock-concerts today; ( where volume, distortion and electronic effects, are often chosen over sound quality ); I welcome this system for unified sound quality for every person regardless of where they are located in relation to the mixing board. *************** ********************
BE .AWARE. ! _______________________ At Many of the Jazz clubs and a few of the Rock clubs, when you don't have a ticket and they include your admission on your drink bill; be aware. They often charge you tax + tip on your Admission as if it were an item. That is, if a couple is charged $50 each ( = $100 ), you end up paying 100 + 9 + 15 = $124 . Where this extra money ends up is anybody's guess. Sometimes they refill your drink automatically, whether you ask them to or not. Sometimes they charge you for drinks you never ordered nor received. Sometimes they try and take advantage of people who are inebriated and might not notice so easily, or Tourists who are less likely to question them out of fear of embarrassment. ............... Sometimes, even when you prove to them that they overcharged you, they say it's to much trouble for the computer to change it, so just pay the bill and call back the next day and complain to management. Some clubs charge you exactly twice the price for a double than a single drink. Some clubs charge you $10 for a large soda. If there is a minimum per person, per table, then they charge you that price whether your bill comes out to that amount or not. Some of these places serve watered down drinks and inferior food at gourmet prices. ....... When possible, use your charge card to hold a reservation rather than pay for it. When you get to the club, try to purchase your ticket before you sit down so you can pay for your drinks separately. You can say you're going to stand up, then after you pay, say you changed your mind and decided to sit. Some waiters attempt to embarrass someone into buying another drink for their date, whether that person wants one or not. ..........You can also go to the bar and buy drinks to bring back to the table as to keep your table bill simpler. ........... Some clubs charge reduced admission when you stand up at the bar rather than sit down. They often forget to charge you a minimum at the bar. .............. A number of. clubs lie about their show times, in order to have people drink for as long as possible before the show starts. A few clubs don't have the main act come on stage until 11 or 12pm. ............ If you have money to burn, then fine, but if you are on a limited budget, and need to conserve, then go eat at a restaurant with a prefix theater dinner. ......... Go drink at a local bar during happy hour. Then go to the music club and stand up and you'll be able to go out on the town twice as much. ............. Remember, there always someone trying to hustle someone else in New York city. The Big Apple has a lot of hidden worms. There are alot of. Tourist traps in the main thoroughfares that try to take advantage of unwary travelers ! ...................... OPINION : ................................................. 99% of the time, when a show or Tour is cancelled, it is due to lack of ticket sales, regardless of the excuse given ! ............... ZOOMA Tour was cancelled due to ........ lack of .Ticket sales. ...............How a show featuring Trey Anastasio + Ben Harper has this ... problem is beyond me ? . .When most of America is infatuated with Britney Spears + Ashley Simpson ( who often Lip-Sync ) , it makes me wonder what this world is .... coming to ! . Most of the music today on . radio, T.V. + Awards shows, is pure ......... garbage.

Women Beware !!! ################################ Something to remember the next time you are out at a bar or music club, and a stranger offers to buy You a drink. If. You say yes to an offer for a Free drink from someone that you don't know that well; it is well advised that you make sure that the drink goes from the waitress or bartender directly into your hands. If. for any moment that drink has been out of. your sight, it is possible that something has been slipped into it, such as the many rape - drugs often carried by non - caring deviants that frequent these clubs in search of. unsuspecting women. Also, never leave your drink unguarded when you go to the restroom or out to smoke a cigarette. More often than you'd like to know about, has a young innocent woman found herself. feeling strange and sleepy, in a dream - state that soon turned into a nightmare.

	EDITORIAL ____________________________________ Subject : Jambands History Lesson The Origin of the JAM-BAND scene, probably began with Jimi Hendrix, CREAM, PINK FLOYD, and the 1960's San Francisco Psychadelic bands. Back in the 80's, there was no jamband scene. Only 3 Jambands existed : ...... the real GRATEFUL .DEAD, ......... and the ALLMAN .Brothers, . . and SANTANA . ( and 10,000 grateful dead cover bands ) Then in 1988, a Rock club called Nitingales began having two unusually FUN bands called BLUES .Traveler and SPIN .Doctors. They played unorthodox jams that were so hot, they sometimes left scorch marks on the stage ! Nitingales was managed by one cool dude named TOM, who sometimes booked the bands. He gave Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors their first shot in NYC. ...... This was a bar that years before , drew max-capacity (150) to see legendary Joey Miserable + the Worms , whose menbers were Slapmeat Johnson, Milo-Z, leader>>Simon Chardieu, ( and also Blues Traveler mentor ) Jano Manson, etc. Around the same time, up in Vermont, Phish was reaching new horizons by mixing styles of the Dead, Zappa, and Santana. Then on 2-13-89, the inevitable happened : WETLANDS .PRESERVE opened ! This was the Greaaaatest Club in the history of the Planet ! They gave 100 Grand every year to save the Rainforests ! I credit the owner, Larry Bloch, and booking agent, Walter Durcatz, for creating the JamBand scene, there and then !!! They brought a bevy of Psychadelic and uncanny bands to New York city that was unknown since the San Francsco Hippie era of the 1960's. Bands such as : PHISH, Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Dave Matthews, Warren Haynes, GOD st. Wine, Widespread Panic, Authority, New Potato Caboose, Machine, First House, Rusted Root, Solar Circus, String Cheese Incident, Mad Hatters, Joan Osborne, Other Half, Skadanks, Poi Doi Pondering, Sons of .Jubal, Black 47, Dreyer Brothers, Xanax 25, Ani Difranco, Rage against the Machine, Bob .WEIR, Robert .HUNTER, Wallflowers, Dread Zepellin, Zen Tricksters, Jah Levi, Casselberry + Dupree, Arnie Lawrence, Dr. JOHN, Counting Crows, etc. played there ! ......... just to name a few. The Quintessential, and by far the best of these new Jam Bands, was PHISH .! The WETLANDS was where PEARL .JAM made their NYC debut at the New Music Seminar. Talks by Living Legends Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, Ken Babbs, Wavy Gravy, Kurt Vonnegut jr. , High Times magazine, etc., were conscious--raising. They had their own genuine resident Rock Critic, Cree McCree and Sound mixers Dean + Mark as well. Then Chris Zahn brought his expertise to manage all aspects. Chris held Wetlands together along with Jake. Chris also booked and discovered bands. Chris was the one who gave .. JEFF .BUCKLEY his first break at a Major club. .. ( Also Screaming Headless Torsos, MOE, Hootie + Blowfish, Disco Biscuits, etc. ) Later, Peter Shapiro took over the reigns. Peter saved the day and much more ! ...... He maintained the standards and also .... kept the influx of up-and-coming ............ Psychadelic bands into New York city. .... Jake Szufnarowski and ..... Scott Long helped. .............. Today, Jake runs the Tribeca Rock club .. and Rocks-Off Concert cruises ................ and Scott manages many aspects of all ... the Knitting Factory's ( nationwide ). . This is one scene the music industry almost waited too long to jump aboard. During the first year, I notified David Frie and Ron Delsener about the magnificent goings on here ( such as the 13 schoolbuses that transported 650 University of .Vermont students to NYC for Phish's first gig here in 1989 ! ) Ron Delsener agreed to break his policy ( of not booking bands unless they were signed by a major label ) and booked my three favorite bar bands ( Phish, Blues Traveler, + Spin Doctors ) at his newly opened ( 1989 ) MARQUEE club on W. 21 st. .He had everything to lose, and we owe him a debt of gratitude. ..... David Frie was the catalyst for this; taking bands from Wetlands and ...... propelling them to National status, often leaving the Wetlands with the short end of the stick. Only about .5 people ( myself included ) were aware of the behind the scenes goings on ! David Frie was a Concert Genius and saw potential here. He later became the manager for Blues Traveler, taking over the reigns from the son of the legendary Bill Graham. David was the first person I ever saw using a laptop. Many of these Wetlands bands, forgot where they got their start from. PHISH cancelled their Halloween 1989 gig there, to play for more money at the Marquee club, even though they were already scheduled, and advertised in the Village Voice, to play the Wetlands. ( Though not morally right, it was most likely the smarter move for their career. ) However, later that night, after the Marquee gig , Trey Anatasio showed up to jam at the Wetlands. I saw and taped both shows. Mr. Delsener took a chance and we all benefitted ! .If not, we could still be listening to disco ! ..All Jam Bands and their fans owe him a debt. He + Mr. Frie brought those bands from the small clubs to the Major Leagues. Relix and High Times magazine were always there. Today, Peter Shapiro and High Times magazine, bring You the JAMMY's and the STONY's and continue the movement forward. Therefore, Grateful Dead Enterprises, BONNAROO, JamBase, Relix, Mr. Shapiro, Zahn, + Delsener are probably the guiding force behind this today. There is a movie about WETLANDS currently being produced . Therefore : if it wasn't for WETLANDS, Larry + Walter, Ron + David; Chris + Peter , there would be no JAMMY's, ...................... .........no BONNAROO, ....... ................ no JamBand scene period ! AMEN .! Lest we not forget the people who started it all : Bill Graham & Chet Helms Please pass this on to Future Generations ! .......... ( An excerpt from the concertjoe- 5-book series 2B released in 2012 A.D. ) ********************************
