more Prospect

im pretty sure all those Summerstage shows are Big Bucks ones, you goddamn elitist

you mean in the second link? I already have my exorbitant Sheryl Crow tix, and you're surely right about the CSN show, but I'm guessing Mark Knopfler will be available to peasants too :D

i missed the "dire straits" joke :(

the Durian Durian show is $$$ too

hey, you're right, morbs, the Knopfler show is moolah as well, as is the Sonny Rollins wtf. I guess they're paying for that Sonic Youth/Feelies show?

Wild Magnolias at Madison Square Park 6/7

BV has a few more Prospects

mine is bigger than yours, morbs!

Spoon ($$$)

philip glass what it do

do you know what "free" and "music" mean?

not all of us have an advanced degree doc

http://www.summerstage.org/ is here!

stfu

;__; that i'll probably miss the lobos show

http://nyphil.org/attend/summer/index.cfm?page=parks

i don't understand music but i do understand free

mavis staples might be pretty cool

ya rly

july 4 weekend looks great

lest there be any confusion, i've found spoon pretty unlistenable live

I left this one out - http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/04/free_shows_in_r.html

(Lincoln Center)

didn't even notice until now - who do you suppose is gonna be at the Video Music Box 25th Anniversary show?

Damn, is it just me or have live concert prices nearly doubled in the last 5 years? (Ignoring the free concerts up there until the schedule's more filled out)

Rachid Taha at Summerstage! Woooord!

Celebrate Brooklyn's up

Special Ed!

I wonder if they'll let me work out of the new york office all summer.

Jazzmobile July, August

haha wow
Saturday, June 28
CROOKLYN DODGERS REUNION with O.C. / JERU THE DAMAJA / CHUBB ROCK / EMC featuring MASTA ACE / DJ PREMIER / ALI SHAHEED MOHAAMAD / hosted by BUCKSHOT of BLACK MOON and SPECIAL ED

also I'd probably go see Deerhoof

Harlem Meer concerts

OMG

Governors Island folkies, phil-lies,

http://gothamist.com/2008/04/23/70s_legends_wir.php

Gheorghia/Alagna on a Friday night on Long Meadow to replace Met in the Parks?

Madison Square Park

that deerhoof show looks rad

Manu Chao summerstage benefit the last week of August?

there's a September Jazzmobile date too - Geri Allen at Grant's Tomb, 9/10

Naumburg bandshell concerts
Riverside Park

also movies/theater

online tix for Shakespeare in the Park

(Jon?) Bon Jovi to play Central Park in July

the headline suggests it might be a solo show (which could happen 7/16 at Rumsey), but he seems to indicate it's a band show. would that require the Great Lawn? can you charge for that?

This one looks good:

MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD / MARC RIBOT'S CERAMIC DOG / TAYLOR MCFERRIN & THE CELL THEORY

Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog features Ches Smith and is quite good. MMW are defensible, and I have no idea about the other band.

Also this:

Sunday, August 3

AFRICAN GUITAR FESTIVAL with OLIVER MTUKUDZI & BLACK SPIRITS, HABIB KOITÉ & BAMADA / DABY TOURÉ / YOSSI FINE & AFRIKAN BASS / EXTRA GOLDEN

yeah, I got over MMW in collidge, but they're great when Ribot plays with them, which I would hope for

Breeders among others to play Pool Parties

will the Ting-Tings show be 6/22?

looks like Breeders is 7/13, and I'm guessing Team Robespierre is 7/6

damn that's pretty solid, Liars at the pool for free ..... Black Lips would be fun... King Khan .....

The Breeders, MGMT, The Hold Steady, Liars, Aesop Rock, Black Lips, Deerhunter, Fuck Buttons, Matt Kim, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Team Robespierre, The Loved Ones, Panther, King Khan and His Shrines, & Ting Tings

BV suggested King Khan opening for Black Lips 8/3

w/ Deerhunter?

thx a lot for disrupting gobbknob's private thread, Hurting

dude, you're a couple of years late to the 'gobbknob' thing - I already used that

everyone is welcome to post on my thread if they actually beat me to something

YES breeders... where'd you get the 7/13 date?

it's my presumption - they're in NJ the day before

very exciting

Summer Shows Gabbneb Imagines for 2008

The Pool Parties

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/05/2008_free_mccar.html#more

sorry morbs, i was on that shit weeks ago

http://www.jr.com/promotion/listContent.jsp?promoName=SummerFest2008

Ellis Marsalis, but not that exciting

Bang on a Can was aws, btw. Made it through eight of the twelve hours. Probably would have kept going if it weren't for Marnie Stern's sheer awfulness.

http://www.brooklynphilharmonic.org/summer_calendar.php

if someone succeed in making a reservation to the free pool parties at mccarren , i'll appriciate if he shares his wisdom.

Brooklyn Vegan puts together a calendar

So who's the "legend" performing in Brooklyn on 7/21? 'Retha is in A.C. 7/25. Sly doesn't seem to be touring.

the only opera singer that counts is rené pape, bitchez

Anyone going to the non-free Devo?

So who's the "legend" performing in Brooklyn on 7/21? 'Retha is in A.C. 7/25. Sly doesn't seem to be touring.

I think you're reading 'legend' a lot more narrowly than they are

mookie i dare you to watch natalie dessay perform live and then make that statement.

this concert was kind of awesome and sooooo many people. it was really great to see that many people out for opera stuff! i have decided i don't really like angela gheorgiu.

Gantry Plaza concerts

we finally get some transparency on the Video Music Box thing tonight

http://www.summerstage.org/index1.aspx?BD=20561

i was waiting for the reaction. thurston told morbs&co to stop being morons at a WFMU-sponsored event

I'm starting to suspect you're more a liar than an idiot.

waht

is Wingate Field as pleasant a venue as Asser Levy?

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/08/raphael_saadiq.html

so it's not Yo La Tengo. that should be a... fun bill.

not really summer "show" and not really free but i've got an extra comp: anyone want to see vertical rep's tales of hoffman @ red hook pier on sunday evening?

i vaguely wanna see that, but my daytime plans probably prohibit it

yeah my companion is out bc she has to do a bridal shower in westchester.

it's not til 8, but red hook is a bitch to get to on a sunday!

There's a bus straight from my Bloody Mary bar!

but I've already seen the Tales of Hoffmann movie.

yeah but this is ON A BARGE!!!!

also i used to sing the barcarolle duet lolz.

bump

did you find someone to go with?

my friend was checking but i actually think i have to skip it now. way too much to get done before tomorrow to interrupt it w/ getting to red hook by 8pm! i'm sad - i really wanted to see it (even though reviews were not great).
