I wish I still lived in the Chicago area... It's only 42 miles from my bro's house and even closer from our last residence in Chicago. :(

 

Of course, you couldn't pay me enough to drive to Bridgeview. Why the heck did they build the Chicago Fire's field there?? I looked at Google's hybrid satellite/road map and the pic is too old. The only way you can identify the site is they had begun digging the outline. ;)

It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman

Sounds cool. Too bad Jimmy Vaughn isn't busy that day.

 

LOL!! Yeah, busy mowing his lawn, or counting his stach of Brillcream!

 

I'm sure the next DVD will show too much of him and no Jeff Beck (or Duke Robillard) just like the last one.

Sheryl Crow????? HUH!

Clapton plays "White Room" with Sheryl Crow on her Live from Central Park CD, apparently they've been buds for some time.

 

I'm seriously thinking of going, anyone from Chicagoland can tell me exactly where this is? 15 minutes south of downtown Chicago is a pretty rough neighborhood IIRC.

It's in Bridgeview (Mayor Daley's hood) on Harlem Ave near Midway Airport. Safe neighborhood.

You can get concert seating charts from the link. I've never been there or even knew they had concerts. Might have to check this one out.

Ellwood - lemme crash with ya' in MoTown Dude... we'll play some "BORN IN CHICAGO" and I'll show you my newest slide stuff on Lil' Red Rooster (Howlins' version)... Don't even use a slide anymore - I developed my fingers into a slide technique and got it soundin' real too !!!

 

I'd love to see the show but last time I was in Chicago (1968) I spent too long in that damn Cook County Jail 'Eh! That place was a "toilet"... I promised the lord if I ever got out of there I would never go back - actually did a few times in the 70's & 80's with my wife & kids travelin' home to Michigan's U.P.

"well fellas... there's 1 other thing yer gonna need to make it in Rock & Roll besides all them guitars and amps and drums and things. They call it A SONG..."

Whereabouts in Chicago are you, Jim??

 

My house is 2 blocks from Wrigley Field.

 

Holy crap! Why did I not think to ask you?? I used to live a block from the Metro.

"For instance" is not proof.
