ReplyDeleteIt's poring right now - close the roof while there's still time!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope I dont catch farm-aids.
ReplyDeleteSurprise guests? If they told you, they wouldn't be a surprise anymore.
ReplyDeleteRoof opened, roof closed, 50 degrees , 80 degrees ..don't matter it will be awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to ROCK out with willie nelson, and then DAVE M. is going to be cool! wHOOO!! YEAH WISCONSIN!!! SEPKINS!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWELCOME FARM-AID!
WELCOME to Milwaukee Wisconsin! :)
Thanks Dave for bringing Tim along, Great becomes even better!
ReplyDelete4th Farm Aid tomorrow. Going with the wife for the first time. Had to represent the home state farmers. You all should come to Harvest fest in Madison on Sunday. A special invite to Willie, I know they would love you to show up in Madison Sunday afternoon. I will see you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteafter thought: Neil looking forward to the organ
1-11pm is a looong day so we'll be getting there at 3ish!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been considerate to post the times a week in advance. I have a tight schedule, mainly wanted to see Dave M, and BoDeans.
ReplyDeletebe there at 10:00 a.m. to get our drink on
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!!!!
ReplyDeleteRoof open or roof closed???? Yes, there will be a difference today. CLOSE THE ROOF! Isn't that one of the reasons they chose this site. I really didn't plan on bringing out the long underwear quite yet.
ReplyDeleteI live 4 blocks from Miller Park, turn up the sound I can't hear sound check.
ReplyDeleteBeen waiting for this day. Heading across the Cheddar Curtain in another hour. This is going to be great!!!!!
ReplyDeleteClose the roof! It is a perfect temp if I was bailing hay today, but I am not. I am going to be sitting for 10 hours enjoying some music to benefit farmers. For $100 a ticket, you would think the roof would be closed.
ReplyDeleteKeep that roof open! It's Fall in Wisconsin! It'll make the concert even more special!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for tonight, great to donate to these people and the lineup is incredible.
ReplyDeleteThr farmers have more money than most,also they get so much goverment help and and taxpayer money they never pay back! when its all said and done they sell there land to subdivision developers become millionaires! They are laughing all the way to the bank.
ReplyDeleteIM gonna wear a BIG YELLOW CHICKEN suit look for me clucking up and down miller park! I mite even lay an EGG!
ReplyDeleteHey I am a farmer it does not mean I like to freeze my ass off... Close the roof be smart !!
ReplyDeleteI paid $100 for my ticket but have no problem with the roof being open. Would you rather be sitting on a tractor today? Have a good time I know that I will be :)
ReplyDeleteIt should really cool to see a concert at miller park ! I do hope they close the roof its gonna be cold tonite
ReplyDeletehere here. close the damn roof. solidarity with farmers my ass. I work with crazy people. does not mean I want to see a show at the asylum>

ReplyDeleteAll you people saying close the roof have never been to Miller Park concert before? Even on a 50 degree day, with all those bodies in there, it'll be like a sauna!! Anyway, can't wait for the show...so excited this is going on in my hometown!
ReplyDeleteClose the roof, please!
ReplyDeleteCLOSE THE ROOF NOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteOpen the roof its hot in hear
ReplyDeleteHope my husband ad brother in law are having a great time. Stay out of Bud Selig's box, ok guys? 8-)
ReplyDeleteA great show for a great cause!
ReplyDeleteHave some respect for the day, performers, farmers & what they are trying to do. What has happened to Americans showing no respect for others? And disrepecting whatever, who-ever simply because they think they have a right? Show respect Americans...
ReplyDeleteAny one else notice the accoutics was so bad you couldnt really understand the music clearly
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous idiot: If you think that local family farms are getting rich off the government think again. My family has been farming for 3 generations and yes we get gov't tax credits, yes we can sell our land to developers if we so choose. If neither of these things happened, idiots like you wouldn't have a place to live or food to eat. If you prefer to continue eating pesticides from factory farms be my guest, then I guess we wouldn't have to put up with your bs comments for much longer =)
ReplyDeleteMy family has never been able to afford the concert. Luckily this year we are able to see it on TV... looks like a lot of fun. Thank you to all the great acts that gave their time for such a great cause!!!
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith performed "Once is enough" song with Willie during Willie Nelsons performance! The roof to the stadium was closed the whole time. Thank you for a great show!
ReplyDeleteYes, we did notice the sound was TERRIBLE. It is a tough venue to mix sound in...but still you would think they would have someone who knows what they are doing behind the big board! It is a shame that such great talent ends up sounding so bad. John Mellencamp's sound crew should be fired! They were the worst! If the musicians could hear what we heard - they would be pissed! Unfortunately they can't hear the house - they should have people out there listening! The producers are more interested in making $$ than producing quality. In this instance - I am glad that they are looking at the bottom line and raising more money for Farm Aid.......but in all reality - all of those guys could pay a decent sound crew!
ReplyDeleteJeff Tweedy was superb and outstanding.
ReplyDeleteWent to show yesturday, it was awesome, roof was closed and it was confy! Bring it back to Miller park again, Thank You!!
ReplyDeleteI think the government should control farms with farming families being paid well, people to obviously inspect the food being paid, and distribution as well, but also engineers at the farms to set up and maintain solar panels and environmentally friendly renewable energy. That can power the farms and homes around the area, as well as create energy for the grid, which needs to be updated. I would love to see projects like this.
ReplyDeleteNeil Young, Dave Mathews, and Willie Nelson were my favorites, wish Neil Young would've played longer, and like someone said, wish the sound was a little better.
ReplyDeleteWe were there from Springfield, IL and luckily our seats were upgraded to close and center stage. I think we were 16 or 17 row. The sound there was ok since we were close and very loud! Esp. loud when Neil came on stage, blew our ears out! We enjoyed it all, most all the performers did a fantastic job. Gospel to classic Rock, country, Pop, and a little lounge vibe. Music for everyone and family friendly except for the audience.
ReplyDeletewas a great concert. Steven Tyler was a great surprise, John Mellencamp rocked.
