Lido Shuffle on down to the Corning Preserve!

Actor and singer/songwriter Wagner is All You Need this Summer!

No Diggity, No Doubt that this concert will please audiences!
July 14th – Art Garfunkel

I’m goin’ CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY just thinking about this concert!

STALK ME
The subtitle of this entry really should have been:
“Proof that some people truly never learn…”
Your Alive @ 5 lineups are always much better than the real thing. I mean, Haddaway? Come ON now. A star like that would NEVER do Alive @ 5.
Oh, man, please let people be fooled again. Much like last year, I wish this was true. Boz Scaggs?!? My mom would die. Oh Lido-oh.
didn’t you do this last year? ;)
A real prank would’ve been to announce that outside alcohol would once again be permitted at Alive at 5. Fascists.
Live at 5…Lame at 5:30
The Stroke Me boxers are still ready for Billy Squier’s appearance. When’s that again? I waited and waited last summer for naught.
Yeah, thankfully I remembered you did one like this last year part way through, but you had me almost excited there for a second.
Black Street and K-C and JOJO I’m there. All my life I waited for someone like you and I thank god that I finally found you “yeah boy”.
Thanks, Kevin. We are soooooooo psyched for Leo Sayer! Do you know if he’ll be playing anything from his album, “SoothSayer”?
Greg - He’s actually going to play “SoothSayer” from start to finish, like Slayer did for their recent tour where they played “Seasons in the Abyss” in full on all their live stops.
April Fool’s….
Damn you!
I got excited over Leo Sayer!
Oh come on now! Can you come up with an original idea for April Fool’s Day?
xtine - Did you see the previous post?
Kevin, the post or comment? I saw both. In comparison, last year’s lineup was much better.
Oh boy. Nevermind.
Trouble maker!!!!!!!
xtine is sipping on that haterade
Nowif Jack Wagner doesn’t come I’ll be pissed.
Now if Slayer was to play Alive@Five, I would actually go.
zz – Ditto.
Hahaha. LOVED it!
Think you’ll get the backlash from last year?
Cute~Ella – Probably. People don’t just stop being stupid/crazy.
Thanks for getting No Diggity in my head for the rest of the day :/T
AYO, AYO, AYO, AYOOOOOOOOOO
Wow, that was just mean. I would like to see Michael McDonald if he brought the rest of the Doobies with him. From the little I recall, their shows in the late ’70s at SPAC were awesome.
Wow – I’m old.
ErinsDad - McDonald on his own, though? No way.
Also, true story: the reason he ended up on this list (other than it being sort of an in-joke with a friend of mine; ditto for Boz) is that I was at the Laundromat the other night and a commercial came on the radio for Folger’s. And, yes indeed, it was Michael McDonald singing an extended version of the Folger’s song (“the best part of waking up, etc.”) in that exaggerated croon of his. It was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.
Perfect! Boz Scaggs for the scuzz bags…
I wish you put Chris Brown in here.
Jessica R – I want to trick people, not frighten them.
That was really mean Kevin. I was so looking forward to this lineup. Maybe we can chat with the Mayor!
KM – I cannot disagree – McDonald solo for more than about 15 minutes would be nasty.
Michael Mc Donald? Really? Maybe for the obvious reason, ”
What a fool believes”. Todd Rungren played in Schenectady’s Central Park, for free, a few years back, so hey, just because your gullible, doesn’t mean it’s not true.
Happy Fools Day the 13th.
:(
The schedule on the website is totally different from your listing…

Yes, notice the “April Fool’s” at the bottom and the “April 1st” date of the posting and how ridiculous it was?
