#1GMA Summer Concert Series - question
Posted: 6/2/10 at 4:30pm
Hello all,
I just had a quick question for anyone who has been to the GMA Summer Concert Series in Central Park. I see that Sarah McLachlan and Norah Jones will be performing there on June 11th. I am a huge Sarah fan and won't be able to see her anywhere else this summer, and I am trying to decide whether or not it's worth going.
It would be a bit of a trek for me, and a very long drive/flight, but I have heard that sometimes, the performers will perform close to a full set, even though they only air a few songs on TV. Does anyone know if this is true, or if it varies artist to artist? I would love to see her perform, especially since it is a free concert, but don't want to make the trip to hear one song. If anyone has gone before and has any information, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

It might vary from artist to artist. I went to see Maroon 5 a couple of years ago, and they did not do anything after the show went off the air.
Personally, I would not go again. Because of the length, I was glad I just happened to be in the city when it was. Plus, you have to get there super early, and stand around in a huge crowd. People were invading my personal space, and it was not fun at all.

Oh wow, that is very good to know, thanks! From what I have read, it seems like it would vary artist to artist. Given the uncertainty, I'm not sure I would like to take the risk. Especially if the venue gets very crowded and uncomfortable.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
