For me it was Styx, November 14, 1978 at the Hampton Coliseum (on their Grand Illusion tour…). Opening act was Nick Guilder (how many remember this one-hit wonder?), and the cost…$8.
Yeah, I kept a list of concerts I went to (tossed the ticket stubs, but was good at keeping them written down) up until 1994. To see the prices of tickets then…and now, pretty amazing.
Rich – as far as I know this is true – no need to be bummed. It will be a switch for me, worked a parking lot last year for Bay Days, may need to go to a concert instead this year…what bummed me out at the festival last year was only one, count ’em, ONE booth had any good salsa / sauce (and this boy likes it hot!). What happened to the local area producers of good salsa and Habanero fixes for chili heads? Perhaps I’ll see some fans there…should be quite the show!

Just checked stats…and so far, we’re over 4Tb of data served up as of the last stat run…amazing…
Once a torrent, always a torrent. Bruce really wants to share this with his fans, yet retain some semblance of ‘control’ over the effort (it may be offered on Munck at some point in the future). I understand that would help, but I’m thinking that we may just need to try to space out grabbing it to help the server out. The server actually has a cron job set against it to reset Apache every 15 minutes due to the amount of hits it is taking…amazing!
Well, the press is nice, but … wow. What a response! I love our hosting company, the file was set up on a different server, but it was too much as a single file. So they split it and upped the connections allowable to the server. Fans are still maxing it out! I was kinda hoping that the initial rush would subside and it would be a steady amount of traffic that could be easier to manage on the server…and that will happen at some point. Until then…please be patient with the connection…with well over 500 folks trying to download at the same time it brings the server to a crawl.
Hi all – the file is available for download again (please make sure you hit ‘refresh’ in your browser so you get the proper download link). Again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

Day 9 – working with the hosting company for a custom solution. Why? Because Bruce’s fans are tops! It should be available again soon…Don’t everyone pounce on me at once, it seemed pretty comfortable at first…but I just didn’t forecast well – sorry!Friday, June 20, 2008 @ TBD
