Yes, the performer gets the same guarantee for the free shows as any other.
Interesting. Thanks for your insight TO.
Just to let everyone know, a slew of free concerts will be held during the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Kicking off their cross-Canada tour will be Wilco performing during the games on February 13th.
Here is a link.

I managed to purchase a ticket for Wilco February 23rd appearing in Hamilton, Ontario ( near where I live ) for $42.50 plus a whopping $11.50 fee compliments of Live Nation.
Most of their concerts following Canada are sold out now.
Sorry, Tnt if you are a Wilco fan. They are playing at the historic Fox Theatre ( sold out ) in Atlanta on March 26th. ( what a magnificent venue.)
Again, TO thanks for your excellent participation in Lu’s forum.
lwjMontreal based Arcade Fire’s song “Wake Up” has been licenced to play at today’s Super Bowl. (Just the song, the band won’t be appearing.)
Lead guitarist Win Butler’s wife Regine who is in the band is from Haiti and all proceeds from the allowing of the song to be aired go to relief work in Haiti.Here is the article.

Also one of the Arcade Fire’s songs is in the trailer for the new movie “Where the Wild Things Are” a cute children’s movie for all ages and it has been nominated for awards.
Here is the trailer.

As always I welcome ideas or things that you see other artists doing that we can do to make sure the experience of going to a show is still a great one. Fortunately we have some time, as Lucinda won’t be going out until the end of the year at the earliest so bring them on.
A couple of thoughts to completely avoid the convenience fees via FREE concerts.
I attended the free outdoor concert at Artpark in Lewiston, NY on July 18, 2007.
Charlie Louvin opened for Lucinda. Just a great evening sitting on the lawn.
Carrie Rodriquez appeared at the free outdoor concert series in Ridgway, Colorado on July 23, 2009
In both cases local companies sponsored the shows ( Banks, breweries, etc.)
NYC Summerstage in Central Park also offers free concerts from time to time. (I believe Lu performed there back in the late 1990’s.
My question is: Do the performers receive adequate fees to put on these shows?
I’m not looking for a free concert to see Lu-Just wondering how all this works.

I do know that the concert was November 12, as listed on the pass, at the now closed State Theater in Portland where I was lucky enough to attend the meet-and-greet (yeah, she was doing many in those days)
Nice report and silk souvenir David.
How did you get invited to this meet and greet?
This was how Lucinda and Tom O met many years ago as per a newspaper quote below.Q How did you and Tom meet?
A We met when I was on tour for the “Sweet Old World” album, which would’ve been ’91 or ’92. He was working for Best Buy in Minneapolis. He remembers it, but I don’t. It was some kind of a meet-and-greet. It was one of those, “Hey, how ya doing?”Let’s bring em back for us fans.

OK, I think this is DAMN cool.
Excellent art work.
I love the natural materials used. Acrylic enamel on re-cycled roofing, tin, plywood and wood trim.
Bet that would look good hanging on the wall in your music studio or on Lu’s Metal Firecracker.The artist, W.D. Harden must have a special affinity for Lucinda.
If you open his “Hell Hound Folk Art Store” and scroll down, you will see some artwork that says ” Get Right With Elvis…. All The Way To Memphis” ( cross & all )
You will see a remarkable similarity to the insert in the Essence Album below.[attachment=0:11q7wu84]Get Right with God.jpg[/attachment:11q7wu84]Just amazing what we can find on the web nowdays.
Keep on searching Tnt.lwj

Found this backstage pass-web site says it was made from satin.
I wonder what concert this came from.
TOverby-Do you on occasion still issue these?

Read this article from CNN Money.
“Ticketmaster Charges a Concert Killer”
Also, Ticketmaster is going to a “paperless” ticketing system.
For example, if you live in Boston, and you have bought tickets as a gift for friends to attend a concert in say NYC. You are “SOL” as you must be present in NYC for them to scan the actual credit card used to make the purchase.This article gives a lot of horror stories dealing with Ticketmaster.
