NOLA Bowl Friday Night Concert Announced

[GreatestStory]

None of those bands are from those decades. They were big in the 80's.

My 1950's comment was a joke. The decrepit Beach Boys concert two years ago was pretty bad.

Cheap Trick formed in 1973, active since 1974. There biggest hits were "I Want You to Want Me" (1977; live 1979 version was more popular), Dream Police (1979). You can count the 80's if you like that God awful song "The Flame" (1988).

Kool & the Gang formed in 1964. Most of their hits were in the 70' & early 80's: Jungle Boogie (1973), Hollywood Swinging (1974), Ladies Night (1979), Too Hot (1979), Celebration (1980), Get Down on It (1981). Later they released Joanna (1983), Fresh (1984) and Cherish (1985), but those songs don't have the party feeling as Jungle Boogie, Ladies Night, Celebration, etc.

Anyone know the security arrangements / restrictions at this facility? Since rain is expected I'm sure many people will have umbrellas. Will they be allowed in the facility? Also women will have purses, sure some will be big. Will they have size restrictions like the Superdome? I'm just envisioning a big clusterf¥ck with people lined up in the rain trying to get in with security telling them they have to leave their umbrellas or telling women their purse is too big to bring in.

Called the Smoothie King Center... umbrellas will be allowed, but no purses larger than 12x12x6

If anything is not allowed in, I will be the 1st one to know. Seems like I have a target on my head when I go into Cajun Field. I get stopped at least once a year for something. This year, I was not allowed to bring in a towel to our 1st home game because "it was to big of a towel".
