  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen

    The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen

    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.
  • Army-Navy Game

    Army-Navy Game

    Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Army-Navy Game Special Enshrinement and New Museum Exhibit Hall of Fame Enshrinement As part of its 2017 Inductee Class the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame is honoring the Army- Navy Game with a Special Enshrinement. It is only the second such honor for an event, the first being The Penn Relays back in 2011. First contested in Philadelphia in 1899 at Franklin Field, the Army-Navy game has been held in the City of Brotherly Love 86 times. JFK/Municipal Stadium hosted the most, 41 times from 1936 through 1979. This year's game is Saturday, December 9 at Lincoln Financial Field. "Although the Army-Navy game is occasionally played elsewhere, it is most closely associated with Philadelphia," said Ken Avallon, Hall of Fame president. "With a tradition dating back over 100 years this Enshrinement honors the long-standing partnership between Army-Navy and the City of Brotherly Love." The Enshrinement is part of the Hall of Fame's 2017 Induction Ceremony, Thursday November 2 at the Hilton City Line Avenue in Philadelphia. Details are available at: http://phillyhall.org/2017. The Hall of Fame's 2017 Inductees will be announced Thursday June 15 at its annual Press Conference and Luncheon Army-Navy Museum Exhibit The new exhibit features artifacts from Army-Navy Games held in Philadelphia throughout the years, including programs, photographs, souvenirs, books and other memorabilia along with bricks from JFK/Municipal Stadium. Also included are videos from some of the rivalry's greatest games held in Philadelphia.

That a city so rich in history continues to both celebrate and improve on its legacy is a testament to Philly pride and invention. The 2019 calendar starts with the 122nd Mummers Parade and continues with the world’s largest indoor Flower Show, the food-packed South 9th Street Italian Market Festival, the idiosyncratic Kensington Sculpture Derby, the epic Philly Beer Week, a 10-day Fourth of July celebration (Wawa Welcome America) and the nation’s oldest Thanksgiving Day Parade, to name a few. Here’s a look at what’s going on this year (and every year) in the Philadelphia region: January: • Mummers Parade – The lineup for the 122nd Mummers Parade includes 10,000 colorfully costumed people of all ages strutting down one of the city’s main streets. The troupes in the String Band division entertain crowds with live music and choreographed dances; the Fancy Brigades stage two elaborate indoor performances at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. January 1, 2019. phillymummers.com • Orchid Extravaganza – Longwood Gardens creates an absolutely transcendent experience for orchid lovers, perching and planting the rarest and most beautiful of flora from conservatories to outdoors.
