Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- U2 at Soldier Field ------------------- The following info is from Thursday's Chicago Tribune: (http://www.chicago.tribune.com) U2 announced plans Wednesday for one of the most ambitious rock tours of the decade. The band will play stadiums in 62 cities in 20 countries, including a June 27 performance at Soldier Field. Tickets ($52.70 and $37.50) for the Chicago date will go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at Ticketmaster outlets and by phone. There will be a 10-ticket limit per person. Random number distribution will begin at Ticketmaster outlets at 9 a.m. Saturday. No camping will be allowed. U2's PopMart tour, which begins April 25 in Las Vegas, is designed to evoke a science-fiction disco, with a 150-by-50-foot video screen, in keeping with the dance-oriented vibe of the group's new record, "Pop," due out March 4. A 200-person crew and 1,200 tons of equipment will be needed to stage the show, which will be transported on 15 buses and 52 trucks. The video network VH1 will sell some tickets for the Chicago date beginning at 7pm Friday, when an 800 number will be flashed on the screen, with a limit of six tickets per caller. For those of you who haven't done the random number thing before, it works like this: The ticket place has a bag of, say, 100 carnival-style tickets numbered 1-100. Each person there gets a numbered ticket. Then, at about 9:45, they'll announce the starting number, and people are lined up based on that number. If the starting number is 62, then whoever has #62 is first in line, #63 is second, and so on. After #100 is in line, they start over at #1. This means if you pulled #62 you're in luck; if you pulled #61, you're screwed. The whole purpose is to make people not have to camp out for days to insure being first in line. Theoretically, everyone will have the same chance to get good tickets. One thing I would do is make sure you're at the ticket place at 9:00am, and by 9:30 at the latest, because once the starting number has been drawn and people are lined up, anyone else arriving gets stuck at the end of the line. Throwing Muses in Valaraiso, IN ------------------------------- Throwing Muses will be playing Valparaiso University on April 12th. The following ticket info is directly from the guy who's putting it on: I will be handling tickets for this NOT thru TicketMaster, but in a DIY fashion -- there will only be 400 tickets available, 200 of which will be on reserve for Valparaiso University students... I will be accepting mail from people that would like to go if postdated by: Saturday, February 22 -- please send a check (made out to "Kurt Greif") or well-concealed cash AND a SASE to: WVUR 95.1 FM c/o Kurt Greif -- Events Coordinator 816 Union Street Valparaiso, IN 46383 The first two-hundred received will get a tickets mailed back to them -- LIMIT of 2 tickets/person. If you are not within the first 200 I will mail your money back to you. If tickets from the 200 for the VU students are still available on April 4th, then tickets will be on sale at our April 4th show. A portion of the ticket proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity. Guess The Reference ------------------- Last week: "Badge" by Cream. Random winner was Steve Forstneger. Best entry was from Mike Grammas, who supplied some relevant trivia, which always warms my heart: When Clapton was writing this song, he was hanging out with George Harrison (whose wife he would later steal) and the Beatles. Eric and George were writing the lyrics when they were trying to come up with the line after "I told you not wander 'round in the dark". A tipsy Ringo had recently entered the room and mumbled "I told you about the swans, that they live in the park". I always picture that scene when I hear that part of the song. Winners, send me your US Mail addresses. Past winners: I'll try to mail out your prizes this weekend. Rules: The first few lines in the heading of the List are a reference to a song. Mail your guess of song title and band to shows@tezcat.com. Put your guess in the Subject field. A random correct entry and the best entry of the week (if any) each win a fabulous Shows List Dollar.
