According to the setlist posting the National Anthem recorded by Jimmy in the past started at 6:15 and then there was Hot Hot Hot and then Jimmy started with Piece of Work at 6:21.

Are you sitting on G waiting on O!
But today's concert starts at 2:00....

2:30 according to the Sirius website.
(RM still had last Monday's schedule up last I checked)

I had a great time. I'll have some pictures posted tomorrow. We had a small BN gathering at Johnny O'Hagan's before the Sun show. There were people at so many different bars, it was hard to see everybody. Sorry I missed Lonepalm1 and 'keets!

Not that it matters now, but I gotta say that is absolutely incorrect!!! I've never seen bathroom lines so long!!

For the womens', they stretched throughout every concourse on the ground floor... the bathrooms are hundreds of feet apart, and you could literally get in the back of 2 lines, in 2 opposite directions, from the same point... I think they even overlapped in spots!!

I heard they were 3 ramps long on the upper level!

Terrible!! How to solve it? I have no idea. But I accompanied a friend at the beginning of intermission so as not to lose her, and didn't make it back until 5 songs in of the 2nd set. And I cannot believe amongst the ones I missed was Banana Republics, which I've never seen live, and absolutely hoped for!

(sorry for the rant!)

I chickened out and left my camera at the hotel -- did anybody get a picture of Harry Caray statue with the lei? Would love to have one, if someone has one?

Thanks.

On the main concourse I found about 200 "port-o-lets" that were hardly being used. I just followed the bathroom signs and it led me out to the area where the baseball players normally park their cars. There were a ton on the left field side and I was shocked when I had my pick. Now, I must say I went early on in the show, so I'm not sure how they were later.

Anyway, I loved the show, and it was worth every penny I spent to get out here from SoCal to see it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Thanks for giving smiles to those of us who grew up going to Wrigley, but didn't get to go to the show.

My girlfriend went to the bathroom and to get two beers; she was gone quite a long time.

Well im talking about what I saw on the field. For the most part the bathrooms on the field seemed fine. The concourse bathrooms are bad for cubs games so I could immagine that they would be worse. I didnt even step foot off the field until a long time before the show until a long time after it. Sorry I didnt specify. Im sure everyone had different expreriences. The players lot portapoties was a great idea. To bad more ppl didnt use them from what I hear.
