Subject: RE: MM: just don't want to see it disappear Great idea for a new thread to keep everyone interested... What are the best artists you've been able to see in small venues for low ticket prices? Two of mine were at the Newport in Columbus, OH. It's an old converted movie theater that probably sits around 500-750 people. I saw Pearl Jam there in '92, and Phish in '93. I don't remember ticket prices, but I'm sure they were both under $20. But the best was Patty and Jewel (who I don't really care for much anymore) at a tiny theater in New York for free. Can't beat that. - -----Original Message----- From: SM082987@aol.com [mailto:SM082987@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 7:26 PM To: mad-mission@smoe.org Subject: Re: MM: just don't want to see it disappear Coconuts went under in my neighborhood. Eleanor Mc Elvoy will never be a big seller or name that most juvenile clerks at overpriced stores (that will someday be bankrupt, you can count on that) will know about. I try to educate the rascals about the fact that their missing out on a good thing, knowing they don't care. For me that's the thing! No one listened in 1994 when we saw Sarah Mclachlan at a small setting in Cleveland, nor Dar when we saw her in front of 50 people at Kent State in 1997. I love it when I see someone for 20.00 in a small setting, dont care if the greasers are still listening to Weed, sorry, Creed, or some other group that likes to scream / not sing to the masses. I look forward to going to the Odeon in Cleveland to see Patty with people who love her music, dont care if the coconut guy knows or not. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 08:30:09 EST From: Kaycee973@aol.com Subject: RE: MM: just don't want to see it disappear THE BEST CHEAP CONCERTS I SAW WAS KEB MO AND TAJ MAHAL AT A SMALL VENUE IN THE VILLAGE.. THE BOTTOM LINE I THINK IT WAS CALLED. THE HOUSE ROCKED LET ME TELL U. AND OF COURSE PATTY WAS A GREAT CONCERT AND THE TIX WERE LIKE 20 BUCKS. I SAW STING FOR FREE IN CENTRAL PARK AND I WAS NEVER A FAN OF HIS UNTIL I SAW HIM LIVE. TALK ABOUT SEX APPEAL! WOW! OH.. AND THE MUSIC WAS GOOD TOO....LOL ~KIM ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 08:15:13 -0600 From: LouAnn Muhm Subject: Re: MM: just don't want to see it disappear > Great idea for a new thread to keep everyone interested... What are the best > artists you've been able to see in small venues for low ticket prices? I saw a great blues band called Indigenous for $5 at a local college. They haven't gotten huge yet, but I suspect they will. They opened a few shows for Dave Matthews a couple of years ago... Maybe they will end up on ATO? Saw Martin Sexton in a really small theater here for under $20, and tomorrow night I am going to see Brenda Weiler and Dar Williams in St. Cloud, MN for $25. Also saw The String Cheese Incident on Maui--it was just awesome. Don't know the price on that one--the tix were a gift! And Bonnie Raitt on Tuesday (not especially cheap, but not a huge venue). I'm not surprised that Kim was won over by Sting when she saw him live. The really good artists are so much better live. And the not-so-good ones?

(See, as I type this, there's a special Board Meeting being held downstairs because Sunstone Hotel Properties Management [think Marriot Corp.], which runs the conference center adjacent to our theater, is making a bid to take over the beautiful 85 year old historic theater - a non-profit org. - where I'm Dir. of Public Relations/Marketing... The sad thing is that they'll probably succeed because the corporate zombies have infected the [somewhat simple] minds of our board and now everyone's walking around with their heads in their asses [how DO they do that!? Someone alert a physicist!] as we try to keep quality live music alive in suburban Utah...) ANYWAY -- the tie in and point is that we charge no more than $15 for any seat in our theater ($12 for students and seniors!). We've got 800 seats, but it's a VERY intimate feeling venue; literally not a bad seat... John Hammond just did a solo acoustic show. And we've recently had Sam Bush, Blind Boys of Alabama, Poncho Sanchez, Rosalie Sorrels with Utah Phillips, Tim O'Brien, Eddie From Ohio, Alison Brown and Beausoleil, to name a few. So there are good people and organizations out there who want to keep live music accessible -- but there are also strong forces of evil (not you, Gary) who want to fuck it all into a hole. (insert menacing Darth Vader breath here.) Pray for us. And if you care, get involved in the Arts in your community to ensure that those who truly value, respect, and UNDERSTAND good art and performance see that they are not wiped from the earth. - -Corey (in the sweaty, unwashed armpit of Utah [Ogden], though I always say Salt Lake, just because it's less embarrassing [and only a half hour away]) ******* ******* ** "El teatro es la poesma que se levanta ** ** del libro y se hace humana." ** ** ** ** "Theatre is the poetry which rises ** ** from the page and is made human." ** ** ** ** --Federico Garcma Lorca ** ******* ******* _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 12:21:18 EST From: OneMoreGirl24@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: Patty and Barnes & Noble There isn't a very big fan base here in upstate NY either.

Subject: MM: Cheap Concerts Oh yeah, I also saw Edwin McCain and Vertical Horizon at Miami University (of Ohio) on a stage set up in the intramural field for a canned good. That was around '95, so it was long before they picked up electric guitars and started playing all that "Everything You Want" crap. By the way, for anyone who hasn't heard it and is looking for some good acoustic folk/rock stuff with great harmonies, check out Vertical Horizon's "Live Stages" album. It's phenomenal. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 13:28:10 -0500 From: "Sarah Stanley" Subject: MM: faves in small venues Well besides Patty @ a Harmony House free performance and numerous shows at small venues and colleges, mine would have to be: - --Sons of the Never Wrong (openers for Patty and now I'm seeing them on their own for the 3rd time tomorrow night!) @ The Ark - Ann Arbor, MI - --Voices on the Verge @ The Ark - --Sarah Harmer @ The Ark and at the Magic Bag in Ferndale, MI - --Elliott Smith @ St. Andrews - Detroit, MI - --Nikka Costa (let's not get back into the old thread!) @ St. Andrews - --Maceo Parker @ various places around Detroit, MI - --JGB (Jerry Garcia Band, sadly without Jerry)@ Magic Bag or Majestic - --Jazz is Dead @ the Majestic - Detroit, MI - --Catherine Wheel @ Intersection (a tiny bar in Grand Rapids, MI) - --Bif Naked @ The Shelter - Detroit, MI and some tiny bar in Ohio - --Leona Naess @ the 7th House (when it was still a kickin' venue) - --DJ Rap @ Pure - Detroit, MI (if you like electronic music at all, check this chick out! she rocks and kicks the shit out of most DJ's!) - --The Creatures @ some tiny venue in Chicago - --Pete Yorn @ St. Andrews - --Sunny Day Real Estate @ Clutch Cargos in Pontiac, MI - -- and of course, Tori, when she did a small "club tour" and played at St. Andrews (although, the ticket prices were not that cheap) >From: "Willms, Gregory J." >To: "'SM082987@aol.com'" , "'mad-mission@smoe.org'" > >Subject: RE: MM: just don't want to see it disappear >Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 08:10:42 -0500 > >Great idea for a new thread to keep everyone interested...
