whatz on your mind

Unfortunately I did not find out about this series of concerts until today but some great bands left.

Already missed the Gin blossoms in June

but still you can see Blues Traveler and Peter Frampton at this outdoor event which includes a beer garden. The ticket prices are still $45 if you just buy them for the two remaining events or even one event . I also see they have a Wine and Jazz night this Sunday, July 18th sounds great especially if they play some smooth jazz!

If you want to see a great fireworks show check out the Taste of Chicago July 3rd for one of the best. I like watching this from the Aquarium a quieter more romantic location since you are almost in the lake there but at the taste site you will also hear the co-ordinated music. Then Saturday MR. BLUES , Buddy GUY will get down. Buddy is considered the best blues guitarist alive by many top musicians including Eric Clapton. He also used to hang out in Joliet in his younger days and still plays the Rialto there. There are also some smaller stages with local bands playing. The quality of entertainment has gone down at the taste with the exception of Guy and the Counting Crows this year and really Back when Jane was mayor and all 3 stages had Main acts like YES and SPYROGYRA and B. B. King playing the same night on the navy pier it was much better. Take the train to Lasalle st. station if you can hike the mile and save yourself some parking $$ and the traffic headaches. The train is cheap on weekends and holidays. Guess Ritchie and Todd haven’t got their greedy TAX everything hands on it yet.

This weekend Heart, heartsfield, Todd Rungren and HUEY LEWIS will be playing at Ribfest in nearby Naperville.

You will be rocked by 3 great concerts at the Rialto theater in Joliet near Chicago this year!! This is a very small theater

and every seat is great and sound is unbelievable since it was an opera house! The rialto is one of the most beautiful

theaters in the world with inlaid Greek sculptures and huge crystal chandelears. Check it out if you can!!

Queensryche will bring their songs including “silent Lucidity”, “Walk the Thin line”, and “Empire” on November 1 -saw them in Milwaukee years ago and they rock and also have new album out

Kansas will rock with “play the game tonight”, ‘Point of no Return”, ‘Hold On’ and other hits- seen them many times and they put on a super show with tons of hit songs! Believe me you will sing along!

The evening with Queen should be good with some great music like “we are the champions”
