ONCE IN A LIFETIME - Ultimate "Oldchella" Festival (1 Viewer)

[Soulfly3]

Just announced by Neil Young

Good lord... Who is in for this?

 

[Fiddles]

wow

 

[Dr. Octopus]

That's insane.

 

[Fiddles]

they might want to bump the date up at the rate these guys have been dropping this year

 

[Soulfly3]

I've had to watch that video 5 times to make sure my eyes are processing things properly.

Good lord.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I'll be watching the days go by waiting for this

 

[AcerFC]

That does sound great. Im wondering if they will add other bands to play before hand. Neil has ties with a lot of the Seattle guys. Would love to see Pearl jam before the Stones

 

[AcerFC]

and lol at oldchella

pearl jam would be all about playing with the who and neil young

 

[Northern Voice]

I read primarily seated seats, which seems very strange for a festival but very appropriate for the target audience here..

 

[PIK95]

Roger Waters is nothing w/o the others.  Too bad they can't get it together.

 

[SWC]

you would rather see perl jam before the stones cripes do you kiss your mother with that mouth take it back and when you are taking it back take that to the bank brohans

Let me rephrase

Would love to see pearl jam play before the stones that night

 

[James Daulton]

Will tickets be able to be had?  That site holds a ####load of people, right?

 

[skol asylum]

Really expensive. I'd just like to see Neil once before he is done.

 

[AcerFC]

$400 for all day general admission is not awful

Ponderous

 

[Amused to Death]

The DVD/CD release should be awesome. I'll wait.

 

[Soulfly3]

is it not $400 for the entire weekend?

Big mistake having Neil before Paul - he'll blow the doors off the place and Paul will sound really really old.

Just saw Neil at Jazzfest and he played 8 songs in 2 hours - including a 20 min Cortez and a 30 minute Love and Only Love that was awash in sonic feedback between him and Willie's kids for a good 15 minutes of that. It was damn good. As usual those who don't know how Neil operates came away disappointed - the ones looking for his 'hits" whereas I think he played his "hits" - effin up, Cortez, Country Home,Love and Only Love, Powderfinger, Rockin in the Free World  - are all hits as well - they are just the louder ones. And his Rocking in the Free World was so much better than Pearl Jams the week before - about 10 times louder and ballsier. He's still amazing when he gets it rolling.

Yeah, Promise of the Real are a very good backing band for him. I came away impressed when I saw them last year - that night they played 3 hours, with the third hour being all The Monsanto Years

Doesn't sound right.  If GA I would consider going despite the cost.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

That's 3 day pass general admission. That's much cheaper than I thought it would be.

 

[James Daulton]

is it not $400 for the entire weekend?

Ya, $400 for all three days.  I don't think the tickets are too outrageous, but I'm sure the general admission will be a million miles from the stage.  I went from in to pass in about 5 minutes.

 

[cstu]

Three-day passes run from $399 to $1,599. Single-day tickets will go for $199. Tickets will go on sale Monday, May 9th at 10 am PST at the festival's website.

Yeah, maybe it was primarily "reserved tickets" which I misinterpreted but like I said, is still un-festival-like but very appropriate for this target audience.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Standing Pit sounds like punishment, which it will probably be during Dylan, but regardless..Can't they come up with something catchier than that?

 

[cstu]

Here's the map.

The cheap tickets will suck (a mile back from the stage). Minimum of $699 for reserved seats.

 

[cstu]

Basically it's $1600 to be within 50 rows of the stage.

ok got it you had me worried there for einen minuten brostein but just like a bad guy in a star wars movie you redeemed yourself vader style take that to the dagobank system

That looks ####### terrible.... 

 

 

[Bucky86]

OLDCHELLA. Can you imagine how long the lines for the portapotties are going to be?

 

[Otis]

Sounds like three days worth of "man these guys used to be so good."

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Oldchella 

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

This hurts the "...chella" brand IMO. Maybe that'll jump the shark soon too.

 

[Bogart]

I am going to have to respectfully disagree. After seeing Sir Paul last spring at Firefly Festival, and seeing Neil at ACL a few years ago, I think Paul will hold his own closing out the night. Paul played for 3 straight hours, his band is beyond amazing and his voice was really really solid. The jokes are Dad-level corny, but it was perhaps the best show I have ever seen live. 33 songs in his set, almost everyone a classic.

When's the GnR show you're going to again?

 

[Otis]

When's the GnR show you're going to again?

Exactly.  Now imagine that the guys in this show are about twenty years older than GnR....

McCartney is a pretty good live show.  Never seen Neil Young so not sure how they stack up, but I'd be surprised if McCartney looked out of his league.  He's still got it.

 

[Willie Neslon]

McCartney broke out Hard days Night for this current tour.  Opener from saturday night.  First time he's played it live since the Beatles were together I think. I guess I understand millennials ripping this show as they think 40 is old but it'll blow away the real Coachella.  I watched most of what i could this year and it was god awful, guns n roses included.  Hard to say what Neil and Dylan will play but the other 4 acts you could almost write the setlist now.  People will rip it because that's what people do but it'll be epic.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Michael Jackson fans level of wackos

 

[Drifter]

$1600 for tickets... $500 for lodging. 

Pass. 

That's in the premium seating and staying in a hotel.  That's not how you do this kind of thing

All the bands on here are know for great live performances except for Dylan who occasionally just decides to #### with people and do something random.   NY does that too but at least he tells people in advance that he's going to do it.

dude these guys are ancient and so are the codgers like me who would see them this is definitely how they will do that kind of thing bromigo take that to the hip replacement bank

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Awesome lineup

40 years ago

 

[Redwes25]

Saw the Who a couple years ago at the Barclays center in Brooklyn and they were really good (was actually surprised).  I would love to go to this but not sure I can take the time off to fly out there.  

 

[shuke]

No Talking Heads?

 

[cstu]

So the way to do it is pay for a $400 ticket to be 500+ feet away from stage?
