  1. A neat variety of artists, but Classic Albums Live sounds like a cool summertime gem.

  2. I saw them do Dark Side of the Moon recently. Quality act, spot on and really cool to experience.

  8. Boy, what a let down. No Kenny Loggins. No Pure Pairie League with Poco, No America, No Jackson Browne, no real headliners. The list of great shows from prior years is extensive. There are some great acts that could be brought in. Alan Parsons, Little River Band. Steely Dan is putting together another tour. Who is running this operation????

  9. Do NOT miss Nickel Creek! I saw them in Kent years ago, perhaps one of the best concerts….ever!

  10. Steely Dan was at Nautica last year…and while Cain Park is far too small a venue for a tour like theirs…seeing them up close at Cain Park would definitely be like dying and going to heaven…or Annandale. Ain’t gonna happen. The Dan only plays big or medium-sized venues…not Cain Park-type places.

    Judy Collins? Arlo Guthrie? Judy Collins will be 75 this year! Can’t believe it’s over 45 years since I saw them on the same stage, just after the Chicago riots of ’68…and it was there, in Chicago, that Arlo first used the classic line “Why do policemen beat on peacemen?” Still don’t know the answer to that question.

    The rest of the lineup? Don’t think so. I know there are other dates that weren’t included on this list. I’ll probably be at a few of those.
