Free Summer 2008 Shows of New York

Naumburg bandshell concerts
Riverside Park

also movies/theater

online tix for Shakespeare in the Park

(Jon?) Bon Jovi to play Central Park in July

the headline suggests it might be a solo show (which could happen 7/16 at Rumsey), but he seems to indicate it's a band show. would that require the Great Lawn? can you charge for that?

This one looks good:

MEDESKI MARTIN & WOOD / MARC RIBOT'S CERAMIC DOG / TAYLOR MCFERRIN & THE CELL THEORY

Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog features Ches Smith and is quite good. MMW are defensible, and I have no idea about the other band.

Also this:

Sunday, August 3

AFRICAN GUITAR FESTIVAL with OLIVER MTUKUDZI & BLACK SPIRITS, HABIB KOITÉ & BAMADA / DABY TOURÉ / YOSSI FINE & AFRIKAN BASS / EXTRA GOLDEN

yeah, I got over MMW in collidge, but they're great when Ribot plays with them, which I would hope for

Breeders among others to play Pool Parties

will the Ting-Tings show be 6/22?

looks like Breeders is 7/13, and I'm guessing Team Robespierre is 7/6

damn that's pretty solid, Liars at the pool for free ..... Black Lips would be fun... King Khan .....

The Breeders, MGMT, The Hold Steady, Liars, Aesop Rock, Black Lips, Deerhunter, Fuck Buttons, Matt Kim, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Team Robespierre, The Loved Ones, Panther, King Khan and His Shrines, & Ting Tings

BV suggested King Khan opening for Black Lips 8/3

w/ Deerhunter?

thx a lot for disrupting gobbknob's private thread, Hurting

dude, you're a couple of years late to the 'gobbknob' thing - I already used that

everyone is welcome to post on my thread if they actually beat me to something

YES breeders... where'd you get the 7/13 date?

it's my presumption - they're in NJ the day before

very exciting
