So CMT is on during the day.

considering I thought larger markets would have more options for TV viewing instead of making 2 channels share a schedule...

Only other strangeness I know of is that our cable company has recently removed ALL the CNN channels from the system (One was replaced with MSNBC)

I was surprised too. I would think it would do well here. Who'd CNN piss off?

Surprisingly? I think they're ALWAYS strong.

Great show, I agree that Wynonna oversang---the woman has a great voice but the way she uses it sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. I thought "Rock and Rol"l ROCKED, and I do think that they picked some Heart tunes that were perfect for Wynonna to sing and she did a good job for the most part. I am so ready to see Heart live again. I was chomping at the bit to buy my tickets after the Crossroads show, unfortch they're not on sale for the Austin show yet.

Surprisingly. Nuff said.

(Btw, I meant no disrespect towards the Wilson sisters, It's just after you have seen all the Crossroads on CMT most of the time those representing the "rock" community have sounded less-than-overwhelming vocally...)

I caught the last 30 minutes on the first showing, and last nite, I taped the whole thing. Quite impressive!! I liked the "sparkling mousse sh*t" in Wynonna's hair! LOL

Tracye, Heart tickets go on sale this Saturday, 10 AM!

I thought this show was phenomenal...although I'm cursed I think...I've tried taping it twice and both times my VCR has malfunctioned! Ann is looking great, and sounds better than ever...I have their new CD and it is also very good!

Oh, I get it now. This is the first Crossroads I've ever seen, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. Thanks or clarifying!

I was quoting Stevie! That's from an old-source-unknown-bootleg from somewhere...Stevie says, "I don't want any of that sparkling mousse sh&t in my hair, I'm just a rock a roll singer!" LOL

Yeah, I'm buying Heart tickets! Apparently, it's part reserved/part general admission??

Uh...where is the "reserved" part of the Backyard? Everytime I've been there it looks like it's first come, first served to me. I don't remember seeing any special reserved section, but then again I'm not the most observant person in the world. I'm getting there when the damned doors open btw,...

You know what's funny? I thought you typed "sparkling mouse ****" instead of of sparkling mousse!!!! That makes it all the more funny!!

Go here and click "seating" for the chart - then click the Heart link to Star Tickets.

Backyard

The tickets are $44.50 for reserved and $35.50 for GA (BIG difference compared to FM tix, eh?). When I went to the Neville Brothers, only the middle floor sections were roped off and reserved, back to the soundboard. The rest of the venue was GA. So, I'm assuming Heart will be similar?? I'm gonna try for reserved, but if I don't get the first 20 rows, I'll get GA. I like to roam around, anyway.

Finally cought it last night. I was most impressed with the cover of Love Hurts, Perfect Goodbye, and Dog & Butterfly.

I so wish Heart was coming somewhere near me, but they're not

It looks like the reserved seating is WAY off to the left of the stage...doesn't look like good seats, but they have to be if they're more expensive right? I don't know, I might just do general admission and get there at the crack of dawn that day.

Livia · #30 07-19-2004, 09:48 AM

No- the map just happens to be titled "reserved seating" on that side of the page - but that map is for the entire venue being reserved...

How did you do? I called them at 9:57 AM, got the "wait for the next available operator" recording, and right at 10 AM, they answered. I ended up with 12th row, dead center, in Section SC.

Just for grins, I looked online today, I pulled up a single, 5th row seat in Section SB. But that looks too far over on the side...I still don't know what's reserved and what's GA, and it REALLY sucks that when you click on the "map" link while you're searching for tickets, it says no map is available. That's BS! So, you have to use the Backyard's map on their site.
