They are playing at Chicago's free outdoor Millennium Park on Thursday night 8/25. I am unfamiliar with this band, but the show is free, it's not a late night, it's the end of summer, and most...

I love it !!

My only exposure to the GD weekend. Thursday after work, I am sitting at Reggie's, the near south music club. In walks three balding, paunchy, middle-aged men, and they sit at the bar beside me. My...

If you are referring to the yahoo365 live-stream promotion, that occurs on Saturday night 6/13. Yahoo will have it available for 24 hours.

Ernie, they are also doing a FREE outdoor show at Chicago's Millennium Park on Thursday 6/25. I went to a few of these free shows last year, saw Richard Thompson. You can't beat the price, it's a...

Cactus had a really good turnout that night, they filled up all their tables, so don't shed any tears for them. I got to the Reggie's around 6, had a nice seat at the bar that Cactus was playing in,...

For your halftime pleasure, Steve.

35 to zero, now !

I gave up on the Bears early in the season. Now they give me a good laugh. They are getting worse each week, it's quite funny.

Two more ticket types were just added:

$30 General Admission - Day of Show SATURDAY NIGHT ROCK CLUB ONLY. Includes admission to Rock Club only for Saturday night only after 9pm. NOT good for...

One of my favorites shows this year. Back in March, I went to the Dennis DeYoung concert being performed in suburban Chicago. During the show, Dennis DeYoung mentioned he and his band were going to...

What a dramatic ending, sorry BG, but your team had plenty of drama this post-season.

So does a manager make a difference ? Everyone is applauding Bochy, but it's the players that stepped up and...

The big club holds 400, the music joint bar 220, so yes it will be interesting. Reggies has done plenty of these all-day gigs, so I am trusting the band schedules are done in a way to minimize flow....

I had the same observation watching the Blackhawks/Stars, lots of free flowing open ice rushes. Also, the rink put in new glass and boards, and the puck was bouncing around everywhere. The game is...

The Cards better win, as they will face Kershaw and Greinke in games 4 and 5.

Finding these games on cable has been challenging. But I knew once the playoffs started it was either TBS, TNT, MLB or Fox 1. Fox 1 is a 1 year old channel on my comcast, baseball is the first thing...

Thanks, Neil. It is now on their website.

The Nats' rookie manager, Matt Williams, ex-Giants player (forgot about that), should be skewered for his ineptitude. He took Zimmermann out with two outs in the ninth, because that is his style. He...

Here ya go, Scott. This shows all 4 catches from both outfielders. I thought the same as you.

Both of his HR calls were awful. ESPN has tonight's game. Congrat's to the Royals, what a game indeed !! And all the smart guys were expecting something like 1-0. Not one instant replay...

Did I hear correctly, it's the first time in 20 years that the playoffs are without either the Yankees or Red Sox ? My prediction: a tv ratings decline.
Also:
KC over A's
KC over Angels
Tigers...

Robbie the owner of Reggies watched most of both sets. He said Kevin P convinced them to come to Chicago, so thank you Kevin. :up Geeze, what a terrific band. You can see what experienced musicians...

I bet Martin already has his ticket for this grand Reggie's event. :ipa:cool

Dale, I spoke to the guy on the second floor, at the record store counter. That is where the ordinary people like me buys their tickets. He said with so many types of tickets being sold (to VIP's and...

I stopped at Reggies' a few days ago. According to the ticket guy, sales are going well. There are only 90 single-day Sunday tickets left, and 70 single-day Saturday tickets left.

Holy crap. When tickets went on sale in June, there were two Chicago shows, Thursday and Friday. Friday's sold out quickly, and Thursday only had some bench seats available in the balcony. I took a...

They are back in the USA. Saw them last night at Fitzgeralds near Chicago. They did two shows last night. I caught just early show, which was a variety of songs from their 40-year career. The second...

Went to two WhiteSox games, two Cubs games, one minor league game. All were easy to get to, a benefit of being in the big Chi-town. With better teams/better weather, maybe more next year. Geez,...

Steve, you can find free street parking on Lawrence, and there are meters on a variety of the streets. The Copernicus Center will offer a pay lot right on their property. It is a safe area. If you...

If you are thinking of walking, the closest drinking bar is Kroll's, 4 city blocks away.

Reggies' also has a rooftop bar, and he encloses it when the weather gets bad.

The good news, Steve, is the Brewers play 10 more games against the hapless Cubs.
The bad news is the Cardinals also have 10 left against the Cubs, the Pirates and Reds each have 6.

How you can win over the PE crowd, Kevin ...... sign Blue Vino for a rooftop jam, and bring Lino in to introduce some bands.

I recently saw country megastar Tim McGraw perform here in Chicago. The t-shirt he wore on-stage during the show was from an old Rush tour! had no clue he was a big Rush fan.

The film is definitely more of a movie than a broadway musical. There is a reasonable quantity of singing/performing during the film, but the actors don't break out into song and dance like they did...

I saw The Jersey Boys. A few years back, we saw the play, which was excellent. The buzz with this movie is no one under 50 would have any interest in seeing it, which was fine with me. Converting a...

He put on a free show last night at Chicago's outdoor Millenium Park. He did a 30 minute acoustic set, then came back out for a 75 minute Electric Trio set. It was a fine display of guitar playing,...

Come July 31, we'll find out with Samardzija. He is a free agent at yearend, and the local talk is that Cubs' GM Theo Epstein will be demanding top dollar talent on any trades.

I had a few spare hours yesterday, so I checked out Godzilla. I had zero knowledge of the film before going, did not even see this thread until now. I did, like some have mentioned, rely on...

Welcome back, Blue Vino ! I got to admit, I fondly recall plenty of laughs as the PE'rs responded to your requests for honest criticism.
Now we are all older and wiser.

Local ratings for game 5 (percentage of tv's on that were watching the game):
