I am assuaging my sadness by imagining the benefit concert...
...Fall 2009 on the first non Football Saturday, the only concert ever to be allowed at Sanford Stadium:
12:30 Pylon, opened Georgia Theatre after renovation in 1988
2:00 The Whigs
3:30 Wide Spread Panic
Eveing show separate admission, but combined tickets available:
7:00 Neutral Milk Hotel (probably won't show)
8:00 B-52's
9:30 REM
$45 per segment, $75 for a combined ticket.
Thoughts? IRE?

I'd like to add Mel & The Party Hats to the list. They used to close the place down (back when Georgia Theatre was open till 4am).
Yeah, OK, NMH is gonna get back even for a Georgia Theater benefit.
Half of those bands are cool.
I'd be cool with like an Elephant 6 reunion.
If you have pictures of yourself, your friends, or your family at the Georgia Theater, let Dustin know. We are going to work on a tribute post. Send your picture and a short caption about the event. (I.E. "This is me and my mom at the B-52 Concert").

Has the Dave Matthews Cover Band already moved their headquarters to Andrews Upstairs or will it merely be a formality now that their home venue is no more?
They've always been at AU AFAIK. Only decent non-local show AU has had was Bob Mould in 05 or 06. Great show, and a better story to tell.
The only time I went there was for Derek Trucks.
