DMB, BRUCE, PEARL JAM & others join VOTE FOR A CHANGE TOUR

Vote for Change, created by a partnership of artists four months ago, will stage approximately 34 concerts in 29 cities in nine states during the trek.
"A vote for change is a vote for a stronger, safer, healthier America," Dave Matthews said in a statement. "A vote for Bush is a vote for a divided, unstable, paranoid America. It is our duty to this beautiful land to let our voices be heard. That's the reason for the tour. That's why I'm doing it."
The format for the tour will be several concerts taking place in different cities on each night of the outing. Participating artists will be divided into six groups that will play together on each night.
Tickets for the concerts go on sale August 21.

The funny thing is I would rather keep Bush, but I'm going to one of the shows. I just have to pick one. Why are all the FL shows on the same day? grrrrr!! Toss up with Pearl Jam on one side and Dave Matthews Band/Ben Harper on the other. Love PJ and have not seen them in years. Never seen DMB live and only walked in on 5 min of Ben at a fest years ago. What will I do?

Where can I get more info on the events?

Bob

 

I think this is great!

Get more info at moveonpac.org

 

I heard Ani DiFranco was going to perform.. Did she back out?

 

yup, not even moderately intrested in the bands playing........I think I will miss the tour.

 

Great bands never come to Brazil unless for Rock In Rio. I know it's out of matter, but why don't they? Bleh.

 

Only decent band playing is Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, so I'll pass.
