June 19th - KS95 Live 95 Concert - Minneapolis/St. Paul

[buzzenator]

Right in my backyard...but had a family commitment last night. I thought about going. I have never been in The Varsity Theater...looked like a cool venue though.

Keith's tweet and link to Maxwell's American Pub...I'm not sure if that is named after a former North Star hockey player...Brad Maxwell? While I was a custom home builder, Brad had retired from the NHL and was doing specialty woodworking. I had him do a wood fireplace surround for a high-end home I was building at the time. I hope that is his Pub...I'll have to do a little research. If you click on the link for the Pub in Keith's tweet, the google map will show the location on Washington Ave in downtown Minneapolis. Notice 35W freeway headed north in the upper right corner, just about to cross the Mississippi River and the site of the infamous bridge collapse in 2007...



The Varsity Theater is on 4th Street in Dinky Town (an integral part of the University of Minnesota) and only a few blocks from the 35W bridge. Also, the famous Bob Dylan song 'Positively 4th Street' may be the reference to when Bob was at the UofM living and performing in this area of Dinky Town...

From Wiki...

There is uncertainty about exactly which "4th Street" the title refers to, with many scholars and fans speculating it refers to more than one.[17] New York City's 4th Street is at the heart of the Manhattan residential district Greenwich Village, where Dylan once lived.[17] This area was central to the burgeoning folk music scene of the early 1960s, which centered around Dylan and many other influential singer-songwriters.[18] For example, Gerde's Folk City was originally located at 11 West 4th Street. However, the song also may concern Dylan's stay at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, where 4th Street S.E. is one of the two main roads crossing through the part of campus known as Dinkytown, where Dylan lived and performed.[17]

If I couldn't provide a video of Haley, I thought I would give you a little geographic snapshot of the area, and do a Randy Jackson name drop.
