I'll try to remember to post when they come around. Rumor is possibly in 2009. I've seen them 3 times and every time was very memorable, but I think the best was at Boston Garden on St. Patrick's Day in '92.

On June 27, 1999 Bonnie Raitt played Meadowbrook. How about bringing her back? I kick myself every time I realize that I missed this concert!
Their web page lists ALL OF THE ACTS THAT HAVE PLAYED AT MEADOWBROOK since their first concert in August of 1996. It is interesting to see how the line up has changed as they find out what kind of acts draw a crowd. |

I've been an "Inner Circle" member for four years and this will most likely be my last..... nothing against you country folk... but it isn't my cup of tea and apparently Meadowbrook has decided to cater to the country crowd.... Too bad, 'cause it was a decent place to see a show....

Meadowbrook tends to repeat several shows each year or so. We have been Inner Circle members for 4 or 5 years and have noticed a reduction in performers that interest us. We respect those of you that enjoy country....although we do not. The Hippie Fest was fun the first year, but now its tired. In fact, last year the performers seemed to be going through the motions.
We have tix to Chicago, Jethro Tull, Collective Soul/Blues Traveler, and Boston/Styx. Would love to see Earth, Wind & Fire, and Meadowbrook sent an email to Inner Cirle members asking for a show of hands for EWF. Apparently, that show won't happen. Aerosmith would be dynamite. Even some independent rockers like Interpol or Coheed & Cambria would be refreshing. We have also noticed that the performances that we attended last year were not sell-outs. Meadowbrook is such a great venue, I hope they see the light. |

Meadowbrook has had everything from Eminem to Garrison Keller, you've gotta be able to find a show. I'd love to see the Poison/Cinderella bill from a few years back, but my wife wouldn't.

We went to see Peter Frampton and Jethro Tull Sunday night. While Tull was good, I think the four of us who went agreed that Frampton was just phenomenal. He was so obviously enjoying himself, it was quite infectious.

The CSN concert, a few weeks ago, was a real joy to attend. The music was not too loud and the audience had energy. Crosby was not at his best, but Stills made up for it. All the old favorites, some new songs and an appropriate dose of political opinion from a group that calls it as they see it. Hopefully they will be a yearly event.

I actually enjoyed Tull more. Frampton was clearly infectious, however, it did not help that they let everyone stand in front of the stage. It is hard to enjoy the show looking at the south end of a northbound fat biker. Ian Anderson is clearly quirky, but the music is amazing and he remains a perfectionist. Jetskier ![]() |

We had great seats in row 12 in the middle section for the Frampton/Tull show.
Many of the people in with seats in front of us were standing because people in the rows front of them were standing to see over the 30 or so people standing in front of the stage. Does Meadowbrook allow people to gather in front of the stage at all shows?

![]() I found out that Frampton requested that Meadowbrook allow folks to come down and stand in front if they wanted to. I personally felt that this was bad form given the fact that they block the view of others. In general, security keeps folks from congregating in front of the stage. They are a pretty well run operation. Jetskier ![]() |

We don't go to concerts any more because we got tired of standing up for most of the show.

We were in the ninth row, left hand side. During the break between Frampton and Tull, we briefly sat in the front row seats and decided that with the height of the stage, the distance the performers were set back from the edge and the distance between stage and seats, you'd miss a good chunk of the performers...particularly someone short like Frampton. As for who is better, well, let's just say 30 years ago my best friend had a huge crush on Frampton, so I'm more familiar with his music than Tull's. I barely even knew what prog rock was before I met my husband. |
