Chapman Hair Band Concert
- Thread starter Weatherdemon
- Start date
Let’s hope the weather cooperates. Should be move in week too. All the Dads of first years can shred after toting plastic hampers all day in the heat.
You must be about the age of my kids. They were all teenagers from the late 80s to early and mid 90s
The music video for Home Sweet Home is what made the Crue superstars.
Motley Crue/Def Leppard along with Poison and Joan Jett played to huge crowds at several MLB stadiums last summer. This really is a big deal to get them here.
For some reason Spotify seems to think someone who likes Clones by Alice Cooper will also like Private Idaho by B52s and Bang a Gong by T Rex.
And damnit Spotify is correct.
It is terrifying.
The Starlight Concerts. I believe they were on Thursdays. Seems like they had a jazz night once a summer. I remember seeing Steve Wilkerson and Andrea Baker and some of the other local jazz acts.
Loved Mr. Bright and certainly miss him. He was my private teacher for about five years and an incredible human being.
Yes, I didn't play many of those concerts, but filled in a few times.
These guys are popular. I took a look at some decent seats and found that they are charging more than what I’ve paid for Springsteen and Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks combined.
Not a fan of some of the acts, but this could end up being great for TU and that's what really matters here.
Apparently there are already some others in the works. I’m excited to see who else we reel in!
One of them is already in the pipe and going to be better than this lineup. If they manage to get who they are shooting for, it will be something you talk about 20 years from now.
The Shame and Li'l Eric Coley? Taylor Swift? Garth Brooks? Rolling Stones?
All on the same concert.
Of those Taylor Swift would be the biggest (no offense intended L'il Eric).
Yeah but Taylor Swift sucks. I could be wrong but I don't think Huffy would say we'd be talking about it twenty years later.
I'm gonna be strategic and think about a tie to the University. I'm thinking Bob Dylan.
Excellent choice.
And for those of you who haven’t been yet the Bob Dylan Center is well worth visiting. We went in November when we were back in town. Whiffed on getting the house we looked at but found one my wife likes better at least online.

Don’t tell me the Beatles are getting back together with Yoko Ono replacing her husband.
Garth Brooks would sell out a two week run in the stadium. He's incredibly popular in Tulsa.
Carrie Underwood would sell out almost as quickly. I wouldn't think Taylor Swift since she's already doing the BOK on her next tour. One Republic has Tulsa ties. Imagine Dragons still appeals to the HS crowd.
As for the prices on this one...they know who their audience is. Gen X'ers that have been in the work force for a bit who have a little bit of expendable cash.
No, but there have been grumblings of Paul and Ringo teaming up with Julian Lennon and George Harrison's son, Dhani for an anniversary Let It Be rooftop type event in the past. I don't know how I would feel about that. Julian is pretty talented but not John. Dhani is a pretty accomplished guitar player in his own right but not nearly what George was.
Taylor Swift is only doing stadium shows on her next tour.
Big debacle. Shows sold out during pre-sale including multiple dates in KC at NFL stadium.
No BOK.
One Republic cancelled a date at the BOK last summer due to slow ticket sales. The Mrs. is a big fan so we had to drive to KC to see them.
I just used the TU presale code to get a pair of Def Leppard tickets. Looking forward to seeing Alice.
Here's how TU got the Def Leppard-Motley Crue stadium tour stop
The story includes a former BOK Center general manager, a former Tulsa mayor and a late night phone call to the university president.
So happy that Carson immediately jumped on the idea. That is the attitude we've been missing for a long time.
Appreciate this promoters feelings on Tulsa and Oklahoma City, loved reading Tramel's piece.
Nickler did a great job at BOK Center. Wish we had similar shows now.
But we may need to temper our expectations.
"the only acts playing stadiums were mega acts like Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks. Chapman Stadium isn’t blessed with the right capacity for those acts."

That's one of the reasons(besides his tie too the university) I suggested Dylan as a possibility. He's content doing small intimate things like the Ole Lady on Brady.(Rich enough that money doesn't matter.) So I figured a smaller stadium wouldn't scare him off.
Maybe one(or two) of these concerts could fund a bigger, better new video board that they already have plans for. They could get it for future concerts and games.
Tickets are selling very slowly for this show. Maybe 15% sold so far. That may not bode well for future acts in the stadium.
Speaking of slow ticket sales, you can pick up Springsteen tickets for as low as $9 each on VividSeats.com for his upcoming show at the BOk.
I'm shocked at both those pieces of news.(low sales, and $9)
