QUOTE (rocketom @ Jul 7 2010, 10:42 PM) Geddy was on The Loop 97.9 fm at around 9:15, he said the lighting started getting wet and shorting out, the stage was Soaked. It sounds like a different venue is a possibility when they reschedule. First Midwest Bank amphitheater has the same seating designs.
Equipment problems seem much more the reason this was scrapped.
There were no severe weather alerts, we all were already soaked and they got the baseball game in a few miles away.
I hope they reschedule at that venue, the seats are very close to the band and the skyline view is pretty nice.
I understand some complaints, but I've seen shows at Charter One Pavilion before and had zero problems. I think last night's problems were due to the weather.
Besides under contract with the park district they need to take down and rebuild the venue every summer, hence the folding chairs, etc.
