I've got no concert budget for the rest of 2005, alas.  Dunno if it's a sellout, but I'd be more interested in seeing McCartney at MSG.

I'd like to see Cream and McCartney. I looked at the seating chart on Ticketmaster for MSG. Looks bigger than anything I have ever been to.

MSG seats 20,000 iirc.

Well, maybe not biggest then. For concerts at SBC, Pac Bell, when you include field seating, how many squeeze into the park? 50,000?

I'm guessing not much more than its usual capacity which is around 42,000 -- if it's a standard stage (as it was for Springsteen) then the bleachers can't be used.  If it's "in the round" maybe a little more.

I was told the sold-out Green Day show last week was in the neighborhood of 42K, so having people on the field balances out the lack of bleachers. Maybe a few thousand less when they have seating rather than GA on the field (Green Day had the latter).

Also, Shoreline is bigger than MSG--around 22K. 8000 in the seats, 14000 on the lawn.
Let's get right to it.

oddly, I've been to Concord Pav a bunch of times but never Shoreline.

I want to see Cream. Anyone want to fly to NY for the Monday show? Bob refuses to consider it.

I think this would be an illuminating  discussion; everyone would know they had the correct opinion!

Just got my Amazon shipment with CD and DVD from Royal Albert Hall. Immediately popped in CD. I thought I knew my Cream. NOT. Never heard most of disc one. Pressed Rat and Wart Hog; Sleepy Time, Time; Deserted Cities of the Heart. GREAT guitar.

Now you know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.

I was at Winterland when they recorded Wheels of Fire, but it was when I was in high school, before I started to play bass.  It's a whole different head. :lol:

It's like listening to Hendrix.  When I first heard Purple Haze, it was all this cosmic mess, but now it sounds like a guitar to me.  I wonder how it would have felt to see Cream, and have been a musician at the time.
