Petty's $ 3000 Show

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers didn't tour this summer. But if you happened to be in Eats Hampton, New York the week before Labor Day-and had $ 3,000 for a ticket-you could have seen them wrap up the Hampton Social, a super-deluxe series of summer shows that included Prince, Billy Joel and Dave Matthews. Rocking a beard and a blazer, Petty tore through his hits for a crowd packed with models (Christy Turlington), moguls (Mort Zuckerman), actors(Richard Gere) and even a Beatle (Paul McCartney, seen grooving near the front of the crowd to the set-closing"American Girl")

Paul McCartney

McCartney continues the charm offensive for his Memory Almost Full album with a six-song digital EP, recorded at the London stop of his short, intimate-venue tour this summer. These shows were the kind of small, heated gigs he once envisioned for the Beatles, during the Get Back sessions, and the strong, simple electricity I felt at McCartney's New York show comes through here in the garage-spirit thrashings of"Coming Up,""Jet" and Memory's""Only Mama Knows."Unfortunately, you don't get any Beatles songs on this EP, even though there were plenty in the set lists. The closest McCartney comes is the coy look back over his shoulder, "That Was Me." But that will do until he puts out of those shows in full. (David Fricke)

Patti Scialfa

Stop me if you've heard this one before: So there's this singer from New Jersey who writes songs about ordinary lives and fast cars... OK, so Patti Scialfa shares more than just an address with her illustrious husband. But what makes her third album, Play IT AS IT Lays, much more tahn another Springsteen-wanna-be project is the insightful female perspective she brings to these ten songs. With a crack rhythm section (including a dude named Bruce playing on almost half the tracks), Play It As It Lays reveals a woman on the other side of the tunnel of love-confused, a little scared and ready for another spin. (Alan Light)

Pearl Jam : Censored

Three-fourths of the way through Pearl Jam's Lollapalooza set, Eddie Vedder began singing. "George Bush, leave this world alone!" - but all fans watching via the online stream on AT&T's Blue Room Web site got was sixteen seconds of silence. AT&T eventually admitted that Davie Brown Entertainment, the subcontractor AT&T hired to Webcast the festival, pulled the audio when Vedder got political. " We regret that it happened," says AT&T spokesman. Pearl Jam have since posted the unedited clip on their Web site, " I don't believe that a capitalist corporation....has the right to subvert the First Amendment if the Constitution, " guitarist Mike McCready wrote in a statement. "When one person or a company decides what others can hear, that is a totalitarian thinking!"

Van Halen Return

Six months after an announced Van Halen reunion tour was canceled due to band infighting and Eddie's return to rehab, the group seemed happy to be onstage together-the famously fractious Eddie and Roth even embraced. The twenty-five-date tour kicks off September 27th in Charlotte, North Carolina; the band already has more than twenty songs worked up. (Eddie's sixteen-year-old son, Wolfgang, who replaces founding bassist Michael Anthony, is in charge of the set list.) So what will they play? Said Roth, All the favorites you've been hearing tearing out of the back of a pickup truck at the Burger King drive-through."

That's The Ticket-Ticketmaster-Live Nation

Concert promotion behemoth Live Nation is contemplating ditching Barry Diller's Ticketmaster to start its own rival ticketing service, and the idea is registering positively with Wall Street.
Live Nation is in the midst of renegotiating its contract with Ticketmaster. The company , which is investing heavily in new digital technologies, is said to be kicking the tires on the notion of launching its own ticketing service in a bid to capture great profits from tickets and related sponsorships and marketing.
Talk of Live Nation striking out on its own comes as a growing number of tours, including Ozzfest, Bonnaroo and Lollapalloza, are bypassing deals with Ticketmaster.
Live Nation produced over 10,000 live music events last year including concerts by the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Barbara Streisand, Dave Matthews Band and Toby Keith and generated over $2.7 billion global live music revenues.
The move would come as a blow to Ticketmaster. Live Nation is its biggest client and its events account for a reported 17 percent of Ticketmaster's revenues. Ticketmaster generated over $1 billion in total revenue in 2006. (Article by Brian Garrity)
