As far as tix in advance, I'm not sure you'll need them, but it sure couldn't hurt. I'm guessing you can get them at any TicketBastard location. When you get to the BB, they herd everyone into a bar-room downstairs, where they'll soak you for beer at five bucks a pop. After about 45 minutes or so, they lead everyone back up a different set of stairs to the concert room itself. No chairs, except for a few around the top (the place is a double- decker). There you'll stand for another hour or so until the opening act comes on. Last time it was an incredible forgettable Woody Guthrie wannabe. He'll play for 45 minutes. Then another half-hour until the next group. An incredibly forgettable band of incredibly limited talent. Then another half-hour. Then Patty. And (again, if her last show there is any indication), it will make all of the previous garbage you've had to deal with absolutely worth it. It was the best concert I've ever seen in my life. She and her band played almost all of "Flaming Red." Then solo, she played about four songs from "Living With Ghosts." Emmylou Harris came out to sing harmony on "Mary." It was magical, I tell ya, magical. Don't miss it. I sure won't.

I'm looking for any info anyone can give me on seeing Patty at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC on the 22nd, this will be my first time seeing her. Should I get tickets in advance? Anyone seen her there, who can give me an idea of how the show was/may be? I'd appreciate any info and advice, thanks! >> Here's the deal on the BB, if Patty's show there a couple of months ago is any indication.

You don't have to see the opening acts. You ARE allowed to come just for Patty ....just dont come until later or sit downstairs at the bar and have a cocktail. But the experience of seeing Patty like this is like goin to church! A truly religious experince that you will never forget! Besides...who knows...you may even LIKE the opening acts. Remember almost every artist like this starts out as an opening act......even Patty! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 07:36:54 PDT From: "Dan Schenck" Subject: Re: MM: Bowery Ballroom >Besides...who >knows...you may even LIKE the opening acts. Remember almost every artist like >this starts out as an opening act......even Patty! No doubt! I've seen Patty as an opening act more often than as a headliner. And when I go to the shows that she is opening for, it always infuriates me when people are rude during her performance (talking through her set, making negative comments about "rock chicks") Everyone should really remember during opening bands that there may be people who didn't come to the show to see the headliner. Also, you REALLY can discover some great new artists by giving an opening band a chance. Other examples of opening bands that I've been blown away by before they became well-known are: Ben Folds Five, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and Ani DiFranco (to name a few). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Oct 98 10:48:08 -0600 From: cdaignea@bakerbotts.com Subject: Re[2]: MM: Bowery Ballroom Just out of curiosity....how are opening acts chosen? Does the headlining performer choose them, or have influence in the choice, or does the venue just happen to book someone to fill that space. I've always been under the impression that the headliner chooses them. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: MM: Bowery Ballroom Author: "Dan Schenck" at internet Date: 10/20/98 7:36 AM >Besides...who >knows...you may even LIKE the opening acts.

Wheee ! BTW, I saw Jess Klein as an opening act there once. Sure, the other band sucked, but Jess made up for it. The band I actually went for didn't come on stage until 11 or something.... oh well.
