The U2 360- Degree Tour and Its Implications on the Concert Industry
THE BIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH: The U2 360- Degree Tour and its implications on the Concert Industry An Undergraduate Honors Thesis by Daniel Dicker Senior V449 Professor Monika Herzig April 2011 Abstract The rock band U2 is currently touring stadiums and arenas across the globe in what is, by all accounts, the most ambitious and expensive concert tour and stage design in the history of the live music business. U2’s 360-Degree Tour, produced and marketed by Live Nation Entertainment, is projected to become the top-grossing tour of all time when it concludes in July of 2011. This is due to a number of different factors that this thesis will examine: the stature of the band, the stature of the ticket-seller and concert-producer, the ambitious and attendance- boosting design of the stage, the relatively-low ticket price when compared with the ticket prices of other tours and the scope of the concert's production, and the resiliency of ticket sales despite a poor economy. After investigating these aspects of the tour, this thesis will determine that this concert endeavor will become a new model for arena level touring and analyze the factors for success. Introduction The concert industry handbook is being rewritten by U2 - a band that has released blockbuster albums and embarked on sell-out concert tours for over three decades - and the largest concert promotion company in the world, Live Nation. This thesis is an examination of how these and other forces have aligned to produce and execute the most impressive concert production and single-most successful concert tour in history. -

Iowa’s decision to transition the medicaid system to private insurance companies creates a multitude of chal- lenges for the people we support, and those of us providers whose operations are funded totally by medicaid.

The Rolling Stones: Blue & Lonesome. Un Homenatge a Les Seves
It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 13/06/2017 a les 17:48 The Rolling Stones: Blue & Lonesome. Un homenatge a les seves influències Cinquanta cinc anys desprès dels seus inicis, els Rolling Stones continuen sent una institució que encara es mou (amb el permis del ?puto amo del bussiness? Mick Jagger) segons la seva intuïció i química. Blue & Lonesome, el seu últim àlbum, va arribar com un fantàstic accident, o com Keith Richards va dir amb el seu gran somriure, ?va ser com si un ésser diví ens hagués manat que el féssim?. No fa pas tants anys que els Rolling Stones encara respectaven aquella regla no escrita al món del rock que deia que per sortir de gira, l'excusa era tenir un nou disc per presentar, i així va passar amb les grans gires mundials desprès d'editar Steel Wheels (1989), Voodoo Lounge (1994), Bridges To Babylon (1997) i A Bigger Bang (2005). En general, la gent dona poc valor a aquests àlbums, en part potser perquè feien l'efecte de ser més una excusa per sortir de gira (que és on fan cash), que discos amb prou entitat com per recordar, jo soc més de la opinió, tot i que tinc clar que no son obres mestres, que son d'un nivell molt alt. Fessin el que fessin, Tatto You (1981) sempre marcaria la frontera d'opinió entre l'excel?lència dels d'abans i els ?prescindibles? de desprès. Des del 40é aniversari de la banda que editaven el recopilatori Forty Licks (2002) i l'extensa gira Licks Tour que vindria desprès amb motiu del disc, els Stones van començar a tenir clar, i amb l'àlbum A Bigger Bang (2005) gairebé es va confirmar, que allò de publicar un disc per sortir de gira era un invent sense sentit. -

TRAVEL TIPS for NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin)
TRAVEL TIPS FOR NATIONALS 2017 Exploring the Tri-State Area (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin) REALLY IMPORTANT TIP: Always, always keep your parking meter fed in Dubuque (Saturdays too)!!!! A Brief (Very Brief) History of Dubuque (see www.encyclopediadubuque.org for more) In 1788, Julien Dubuque, a French-Canadian, was granted rights by the Mesquakie (aka Meskwaki) Indians to mine their land for lead; he settled near the mouth of Catfish Creek (now part of the State Park, Mines of Spain Recreation Area). Dubuque, for whom the city is named, is considered to be the first white man to settle in Iowa, making Dubuque the oldest City in Iowa. For followers of the “Triple Crown Race”, La Classique internationale de Canots de la Mauricie (Shawinigan) in Quebec, Canada, Julien Dubuque, was born in Trois-Rivières (his childhood cradle is located in the Mississippi River Museum). Imagine the journey he made by water to arrive here! So, it is somehow fitting that the 50th Annual USCA National Championships should be held on “the Father of Waters,” the 2nd longest river in the United States, 4th longest in the world (including Missouri and Jefferson River feeds). In 1965, after severe flooding of much of the downtown area, a flood wall was built to protect Dubuque’s citizens and structures from future flooding, so much of the waterfront is rimmed in native limestone and protected by flood gates. Chaplain Schmitt Island, (named after Father Aloysius H. Schmitt) aka City Island, is Race HQ for Nationals 2017. Formerly an airport, a city dump site and a car racing track, it is now a recreational area, with a hiking/biking trail, an indoor iceskating arena (open to the public), baseball fields, boat docks, Dubuque Water Sports Club, Miller Riverview Park Campground, casino, hotel. -
