[Inspector #20]

February 26/27 they are anticipating a crowd of 75,000 to 80,000 or about 80% of stadium capacity.

Our school band's is cooking up a diverse setlist for the event.

 

[RVA]

Very cool! You will need to play loudly over all those engines!

 

[LiveeviL2000]

Nice big audience. Good luck.
I’d like some clips.
I wonder if it will be televised?

 

[Iron1]

Congrats! Very cool.

At this point I might call Showco to arrange some PA or lights...

The event coordinator handles all of that.

 

[Ramo]

Thats sooooo cool man, are you nervous? Show them how rock is done properly!!!

Im proud of you man!

 

[Don O]

Way cool Robert. Do you know where they are going to setup the stage? I used to drag race the Camaro on that 1/4 mile track along the top of the pic.

 

[Sapient]

Congrats on the gig, bro! That's a nice one. Should be real fun! <----- Robert .."It's ya birt dae, it's ya birt dae."

I think the 1993 Marshall Bi-Chorus 200 has more than enough beans to bring home the mail. Additionally, I am sure we will be mic'd, considering the stadium has seating for 91,000

Logistics are still being worked out. There's has been talk of a semi-trailer that is pulled off the infield at the conclusion of the performance and there has also been talk of setting up in the 'Fan Zone' and transmitting the performance onto the big screens. I'll post more as we progress with this.

Not nervous, it's kinda cool actually. My previous biggest performance live has been only 7,500 at the California Mid-State fair. Our proposed setlist contains a lot of country, but that's also approved by the coordinator and NASCAR is typically a more "country-style" event, so it all works out.

Ill be running maxxed out gain, as usual...so no matter what we play, it's gonna have a rock-n-roll flair.

Our version of "Interstate Love Song" rocks so hard it's ridiculous.
