A while back the fact that Willie Nelson & Friend's annual Farm Aid concert is coming to New England this year was mentioned in a thread.

Farm Aid's 2008 concert is September 20 at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA

Tickets are sold out - - but those of you with Direct TV will be happy campers - - they are broadcasting live starting at 4:00 PM.
Am keeping all bendable body parts crossed that one of the webcast sites carries it too.

There is a shot at winning front row seats . . . http://www.farmerheroes.org/site/c.kjJQJ...Heroes.htm

Here's the lineup - - am seriously kicking myself for forgetting about this - - that's a lot of talent in one place - for one price ! !
This would have made a great NESP birthday party event . . *sigh*
