guys, help me out here.... Options

Local H were originally scheduled to play here in Columbus on 3/29 and the show got cancelled today. (read more here: http://news.radio.com/2013/03/21/mugged-ro...orrifying-tale/ )

ANYWAY, Ed Kowalczyk is playing the new Hollywood Casino here that night. Now, I declare myself TEAM CCP over this guy and I am not a fan of the way things went down when the guys parted ways. BUT i have nothing else to do that night and I would like to hear the classic LIVE songs, if he still sings them.

Because I have open taped Candlebox and Tonic at the new casino (check archive.org) I have become close with the floor supervisor there. I am fairly certain if Ed would give the OK, I could fly high on the 10ft stand again. Is there any chance in hell at that happening? Probably not, but I thought I would ask.

Or is this guy just not even worth seeing live? Is his band decent live? Ive heard Weiland's solo band compared to STP and that was a joke. Wondered if its the same w/ the Ed Kowalczyk band.

Any input is appreciated. Would it be too much wearing my TGF shirt to the show?

how is anyone supposed to know? youre right, judging by the response to his shows on here i dont think anyone would know -- nevertheless care.

im going to go, anyway. cant pass up free.

I care. I'd love to hear a new Ed Kowalczyk recording, especially if they sound like your previous work. Ed's performing unreleased tracks at his shows so it's the perfect time to be out the taping.

I didn't respond because honestly I don't know whether Ed is cool with tapers. Your best bet would be to message Ed on Facebook if you really need to know whether it's cool to run a stand at the show. If the venue is fine with it then I wouldn't expect Ed to ask you to take it down but if he does just be all ninja like and go stealth.

Given it's a free show, you've got nothing to lose. Hopefully you'll get a nice recording out of it and if not at least you can finally say you've seen Ed with his new band. Good luck!

Well I wouldn't.
