I m not going. Headlined by the Foo Fighters on Friday and Pearl Jam on Saturday at my beloved Pied

Kid Rock blew my mind live.   I don t even like his music and his electricity maui dinner cruises onstage zapped me into reconsidering.  But wait.  Legendary crooner maui dinner cruises Tony Bennett is playing live across the park in just a few minutes.  Let me run over there.  Music Midtow n Festival circa 2002 Atlanta s greatest showcase of a colorful mix of musicians, old and new, big and small,  is back for a second year after a five year hiatus and um, it s really different.
I was an Atlanta visitor the first time I went to the Music Midtown festival in 1999.  Desperate to get Rick Springfield to notice me from the 96rock stage (R.I.P. 96rock), I wore my green sequined tank top and I shoved my way through the throngs of homely thirty-something ladies rushing towards the stage.  He definitely noticed.  Anyway, after spending maui dinner cruises three days stumbling on performances from  Salt n Pepa, Sponge, and avoiding random piles of drunken puke, I thought I had discovered the eighth wonder of the world.  Most of the acts would NEVER get a dime from me to see them live on their own, but I had never felt more open to experience maui dinner cruises all these types of music at once.  Six stages, all sponsored by a different radio station with every genre of music represented.  This was mecca.
maui dinner cruises I moved to Atlanta the next year.  And don t think Music Midtown wasn t part of my decision to move.  Over the years, I had discovered Susan Tedeschi live, witnessed No Doubt up close on the 99x stage (R.I.P 99x), Earth, Wind, Fire,  Peter Frampton, and this little up-and-coming band Destiny s Child trying to be discovered on a tiny stage.
The reality is that Music Midtown debuted in Atlanta in 1994 as the brain child of music impresarios Peter Conlon and Alex Cooley, starting out with three stages over two days during one weekend a year.  It grew to three days and six stages with peak attendance at 300,000 people.  Tremendous local radio supported and sponsored this event until it finally came to a close in 2005 due to declining attendance and mounting costs.
maui dinner cruises Resurrected six years later in 2011, it went to a one-day event headlined by Coldplay powered by Live Nation with no radio sponsorship (wait does Atlanta still have radio stations? R.I.P. maui dinner cruises Dave FM, Project 96.1, 99x Fall 2012).  The all white alternative acts of last year seemed to be missing a lot of the magic that made Music Midtown so great.  In 2012 and coming up this weekend, maui dinner cruises Music Midtown has expanded to two stages over two days with 15 acts and has 22 corporate sponsors .
I m not going.  Headlined by the Foo Fighters on Friday and Pearl Jam on Saturday at my beloved Piedmont Park, I just can t bring myself to spend $150 a pop for bands that frankly, aren t as widely diverse as I would like.  I actually would LOVE to see Pearl Jam and the Foos live but the supporting acts are Neon Trees, Joan Jett, Garbage, Avett Brothers maui dinner cruises (who I ve seen before), Ludacris, Florence the Machine, and a few others.  When did I become so apathetic about music?
Although I m glad they threw in Luda to an otherwise white alternative line-up, I want a true potpourri of mind-blowing musical acts big and small, legends and upstarts.  My hope is that this event will grow back into the compelling event it once was but with the rapid death of so many radio stations in Atlanta, the booking needs to shift and have a broader appeal.  Although the 2-day festival currently has general admission tickets still available (although there are other alternatives through StubHub or Craigslist), there are VIP tickets available for $527 each and it looks like a victory maui dinner cruises for Live Nation.  But Allison Hare loses.
Great points. Several of the acts (avett brothers, Florence and the machine, etc.) won t be heard on the radio in Atlanta because they re doing away with the one channel that plays them. Do.we really need another Top 40 station in Atlanta? The other day I changed the channel and heard the exact same song on the other channel. I can only take so much Katy Perry. Thankfully we have that wonderful thing Spotify.
Amanda Brown will not be going. And Amanda Brown would like for it not to be in her beloved maui dinner cruises Piedmont maui dinner cruises Park as it is only a few blocks from my house. So that means that last weekend the road closures stopped. The park was barricaded in and you could only walk in certain areas. That people have alread started maui dinner cruises parking their cars on the streets of my neighborhood (and it s Thursday!?) and trash will pile up from beer cans that are tossed walking to and from the park. Those of us that live there will have to struggle for parking spaces. Just last year I had a beer bottle thrown into the back of my car during this weekend
Won t be going either. Have seen most of the acts already and frankly, I m with you Allison. I can remember the day that I saw Foo Fighters, Cracker, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd all within an hour of each other. There was such diversity back then and you had access to bands that you would never otherwise see.
