August 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) I saw McCartney last night and it was a good show. He played for over 2 and half hours. That's what it was when I saw him in 2002 on the Driving USA tour. 2.5 hours and no break, which is incredible when you think about the fact the guy is almost 70.
August 1, 201114 yr The Mrs. LOVED the show last night. She said it was one of the top 5 shows she's ever seen.
August 2, 201114 yr What a great time. The band played tight all night, and of course, seeing Paul McCartney was almost like seeing a spectre. Wrigley is a prime venue for such a show, never would have thought... Seeing the El make it's stop every so often during the show added a surreal vibe. I've actually grown quite fond of the place over the course of this summer. In the years past I couldn't imagine Chicago without the place, but now I wouldn't want to imagine Chicago without it. I'm almost shocked that anyone would suggest that (getting rid of Wrigley) with a straight face.

I'm so stoked to see them (this will be my first time).
August 6, 201114 yr Lolla anyone? I went yesterday (not going today) and was surprised at how much I enjoyed some of the earlier bands. Delta Spirit was cool and The Kills were pretty awesome as well. Coldplay did their thing on the headlining spot, though I wish I could have seen Muse as well. Sunday is Foo Fighters day so that will be epic.

Their "equally big" replacement was the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and they would not offer a refund.

You'd be getting screwed if it was the Beastie Boys festival that was all of a sudden headlined by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. You also easily could've sold it.

Yeah, that was their theory and reasoning for not providing a refund. But in reality, I imagine a great number of the people who purchased tickets did so in order to see the Beastie Boys (I know I did a lot of searching on internet boards and saw many, many other people that were just as angry), with the rest just being a little added bonus. I did sell the tickets. Lost money on it, of course. Edited August 8, 201114 yr by Milkman delivers

"One hit wonder sells" this very talented musician very short, but certainly that one mega monster hit Prince song is what catapulted her to superstardom.

That moniker fits an artist or band that literally had only one hit song, not someone with only one song that can be instantly recalled after more than 20 years. Her first three ALBUMS reached #36, #1, and #27 on U.S. charts, and the first two went Gold and Platinum, respectively. Debby Boone and the chick who sang "99 Luft Balloons" were one hit wonders. Singers with multiple Gold albums by definition are not. Edited August 9, 201114 yr by PlaySumFnJurny

Name more than one of her hit songs without searching

Their choice was the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. In no dimension are they even close. Edited August 10, 201114 yr by Milkman delivers
