Hallelujah, the Beacon Reopens in February

0109lc.jpg Today we received a message saying that "Tomorrow at 10am, MSGE will be announcing the legendary artist that has been confirmed to reopen the Beacon Theatre in the coming weeks. The beloved New York landmark recently underwent a 7-month restoration to return the venue to its original grandeur, and one of the most prolific musicians of our day will take the stage of the magnificently refurbished theatre for an unforgettable night of music to celebrate this historic event." Related? Everyone is abuzz about how the 74-year-old Leonard Cohen will play the Beacon on February 19th. There's nothing on Beacon's calendar for that date as of yet, and the rest of their scheduled shows begin around that time.

I hear the Allmans are back this year. Gotta make the call on that one for tickets.

Calendar of events on the Beacon website is now showing Leonard Cohen on February 19th!

It's a crying shame that those crack addled scumbags, The Dolan's, now have control over this palace. A fine example of the ends, not justifying the means.

paul simon's gonna be the re-opener.
