I think we'll be taking a bathroom break during that show. I definately want to see Black Eyed Peas & Dave Matthews Band though!

1. Much suckage

Three good acts (McLachlan, Wonder and Matthews) and a bunch of crap. How much are they gouging for this travesty?

2. Have you read anything about the concerts?

They're all free. And there are more bands that are decent there than just those you listed. We're definately interested in seeing Rob Thomas, Linkin Park and Black Eyed Peas. Even the hip-hop groups they have there are pretty good with P. Diddy doing a set. I think it's a selection that overall represents the diversity of the Philadelphia Region. At one point I thought the Il Divos were going to be singing there but they're not on the list anymore (Il Divos are basically 4 really hot opera singers)
