I know Hendrix played there

I heard a story several years ago Hendrix wound up at a bar in downtown Shreveport after his concert. Several members of his crew went down the street to get something to eat. Hendrix had never been in the South and was nervous about segregation. He decided to wait in the bar with a couple of roadies instead of risking any problems in a late night diner. Soon patrons of the bar started showing back up with entire plates of food.

Hendrix wound up on stage and performed several songs. I have no idea if any of that is true. I heard it from someone who decided to go home instead of that bar, and has regretted missing it ever since.

This is fantastic news! As a Yuge Beatles fan, he's been on my "must see" list. Obviously this is a warm up spot to start tour but CenturyLink is a nice venue. It's about damn time they got a Big (non-country) act to come in.

I saw him 4 years ago and it was an amazing show. He still sounded great and the set list was heavy Beatles and lots of good solo and wings songs. I would see him again in a heartbeat. Go if you can.

I kept pulling the crazy expensive one, finally got the $89 section from the fanclub site but was a huge pain.

Can't complain though, i got Section 205 I think, about mid-court on Row B.

I ended up doing the AMEX presale because I couldn't get anything but the 250 ones on the official site. It being out in Duluth is weird, but it's a pretty good venue. Mercedez Benz would have been more interesting, but this is probably a better concert setup than either MB Stadium (not open yet) or Phillips (renovations).

For the floor and close in lower level, shittier lower level was $175, i got a mid-court upper level for $89, which i think is the best bet and then the shitty upper level seats are like $59
