  1. The Rockpile Sections is up over 20 tickets now. TY
  2. Good one! I am not PC. Ticket scalpers are bottom feeding scumbags. If this offends any Native Americans, please read on: From the Urban Slang Dictionary, "Someone who purchases large quantities of goods (usually tickets) early with the sole intention of re-selling them at a higher price at a later date (closer to the event)."

  4. Capitol Records would not let them use The Crackers or The Honkies, so they became simply The Band.

When the tide goes out you can walk a LONG way out into in the Cape. Wear water shoes! Also, we took bicycles to take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Getting there by car on the ferry can take forever!
  11. It was at the Rockpile, probably 1964. Bills vs. Jets. We were in the covered end zone. I do not remember who won, but a drunk fell onto my lap from the row behind us and in front of us a Jets fan puked orange tango on a lady and then tried to wipe her off with his coat. Funny what you remember when you are eleven.
  12. Thanks for the help!
  13. +10 pass the moonshine.
  14. My friends and family, and I will be in a casket.
  15. Bump it to 15, but come time to order - it could vary up or down a bit.
  16. I saw the Who my first time, around 1972 in the Rochester War Memorial, after the release of Who's Next? First time I heard any of that album. They were at their PEAK complete with Keith Moon. Tickets were $6.00 I saw the Who again in the early 80's (Who Are You?) at the Ralph. Great sound but could not see the band well. The field was packed so tight, and it got so hot and compressed, they were showering the crowd with water hoses and people were being passed on top of the crowd (not unlike surfing) to first aid stations under the stage. When they were playing "Love, Reign O'er Me", it started to rain. Tickets were $15.00 At least now they can show the band on the three screens. I am probably going to pass on the current "Who" with Daltry and Townsend, unless it comes REAL close to home. We may go see the Stones. I would like to see them since I never have, and that is MY bad. Update - tickets in the upper deck end zone away from the stage start at $150. Nevermind..... We already have tickets for Carlos Santana in Canandaigua in August. Lawn seats $30.00
  17. My job is internet technical support and I get a couple of these every week. "They found thousands of malicious files on my computer and charged me $299. Now my computer is locked." Hey, the bad guys can't get in unless you open the door!

  22. I am going to guess 10 tickets, Jay. I will send out an alert to my hoard. thanks!
  23. Excellent closing quote to NY Times article: “The only reason you mock something is when it doesn’t live up to the ideal,” Mr. Stewart said. “There’s a huge difference between what these journalists are doing on the ground, and the perversion of it that is the 24-hour news networks.”
  24. I feel like Nancy Kerrigan, "WHY?"
