Melissa, The Eagles tickets are sold out, mainly due to Alpharetta City Council folks taking them for themselves

I’ll be there…I’m leaving my wheelchair at home you little whipper snappers. You show NO respect for your elders. Stay in school and maybe you all will learn the reason why the veteran shows return every year – we knew how to save our MONEY for our golden years. It’s our dollars that attract these shows every year, not You youngins, not you BMW- Lexus-Mercedes Benz, bad credit having, out of wedlock baby – making, job hopping, spoiled, unappreciative you have the freedom to enjoy your time doing what you enjoy, take everything for granted little brats. Do something nice for someone and help someone instead of worrying about this summer’s list of acts at Chastain Park. Enjoy your weekend elsewhere. Happy and Proud Vet

As an Atlanta native, I’ve been going to Chastain since the late 60’s. Most of you folks have no idea of the city venues past because you migrated here for some reason in the past, probably to live a better life than where you originally were from.

Most of these acts had to get permission from the nursing home to show up. Break out the depends and the super poli-grip!!! It’s gonna be a party!!!!

Give me a break, below average artists this year , except for KC, he draws the women from 19 to 60 years old and if you have never been to one of KC’S concerts you dont know what you are missing. The night will not end after the concert, I promise!

Too much chatter from the audience at Chastain – the shows can be memorable, if you can get past all the disrespect and disregard for the artists performing

We gave up our Chastain table a few years ago b/c the schedue was so bad. Chastain is so nice, but the people who are booked there are horrible. I remember seeing Cheap Trick and Lover Boy there years ago, and befoe that, Don Henley was there. Where are the bands like that. They could even book some good country bands, but the bands that have are the pits.

My hubby & I attended Chastain last year to see Earth, Wind & Fire perform for merely an hour! It was very disappointing! There was no opening act and they came on stage around 8:10 and was done by 9:15PM. The crowd was very upset! And then they had the nerve to promote VIP backstage passes for additional $50. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I felt bad for people that bought Tables. People were REALLY upset. Never ever again. Although I love EW&F…never again will I pay to see them. I guees I will have to catch them on Bootleg or HBO!!!!

The reason there are no new acts scheduled is because they all suck. stay home and watch your american idol if you want new crappy “talent”. fact is these older bands have more talent even in their afterlife than these clowns we have today.

I grew up with all these groups and frankly, I’m not interested in seeing any of them. These people are waaaay past their prime, pretending to be artists. Not hating, just stating fact.

They should re name it FOOD FEST. I saw Diana Ross two yrs ago and folks took Hours setting up their picnic tables. Ate and drank like it was the last supper. Talked and Chattered through the whole show. No doubt many were drunk by the time the show started(one hr late) I dont blame Ross I would not come out until everyone is Seated. not with their backs to me setting up tables. Also it was hot and humid. Never again will I go in June. Maybe if its cool but that heat nearly killed me.

Who wants to buy my 3 seasoned reserved tables in the 2nd center row? I decided I’m going to skip this year’s shows. This article gave me more information than expected and I’ve lost interest. Look for my tables on craigslist this evening.

Went to see Journey, Heart, and Cheap Trick about 3 or 4 years ago…..never again….horrible experience unless you liked being ripped off for everything from parking to concessions…..and sitting in 100 degree sun light with no breeze……

@71 year old, are your tables seasoned mild, medium, hot, or lemon pepper?
