Apparently Paul has given the ok for a local radio station to run a contest to select 5 songs to be in the setlist... http://www.kool965fm.ca/index.asp?mn=2&id=1211&cc=5 Let's all decide to vote for something like Bip Bop to see if this actually pans out to be true come concert day. DCD Ltd.

RE: Paul McCartney has officially become an oldies act.
I would like to see Paul alternate tours: a major multi-city tour for the Beatles fans with a greatest hits set list and a smaller more alternative tour for the hard-core Paul/Wings fans. He could even play smaller venues the nights before or after major concerts with a shorter intimate set list of more obscure material and just forget about Yesterday, Hey Jude, Let It Be and Live and Let Die for a night. Something similar to the Amoeba show.

RE: David Lynch Foundation Concert
appletart2:
Interesting article in Rolling Stone mag about Ticket Master who now just merged with Ticket Nation making them the untouchable biggest ticket distributor out there.. I guess (no surprise, I've always suspected this), the artist, management, and ticket master are in collusion to take all good seat first and resell... Looks like ticket scalping isn't just for scalpers. Looks like the ARTIST and their MANAGMENT team and TM, take the best seats and resell, give or auction them off. Makes sense why this concert sold out in seconds and why no affordable seats were gotten by all those right online first thing to buy. So many wasted there time thinking they?d get good seats. Whats the difference in what these guys are doing than wall street who manipulate the market. This is manipulation saying there seats sold at in 7 seconds but in fact they only released 20 seats or something like that. The rest are online being hawked for 10 time the amount. Who pockets that coin? Not the charity. This means anytime you use Ticket Master to buy seats thinking you might get lucky, well that will never happen because they don't release the best seats in all price ranges. They can resell them and get 10 times the money. This can't be legal and it sure isn't ethical. I think if nothing else public disclosure to this practice by who?s involved and what seats and how many should be publicly disclosed. This is an under-handed business practice. Once again greed figures into any thing that people enjoy and they know emotionally they will pay for. I glad I didn?t bite the bait. I hate cheaters. Saying that you are selling front row seats for a special price but in reality you're holding back all affordable tickets and making it impossible to get good seats unless you pay is wrong. Plus these artists are given free seats there peddlling on eBay or the other Ticket Master resale sites and where is that money going? Has there been any public disclosure on the money raised. How much, where its going etc? These benefits are nothing but a way for rich unemployed entertainers to keep busy on another?s dime. Wait and buy your ticket the day of concert or in front of the concert. What these greed mongers don?t sell they dump for face value or less. So there is a scramble to get them all sold before the music starts. Best seats and personally I rather support the scalper at the door than the artists' greed. When the first chord strums you?ll be buying front row for ½ of face value.
Interesting indeed.
