It's part of the whole Matthews Warehouse Conversion project.
This is great news.

I think that list could apply to just about all of us. I think we could all stand to "learn people better" and "don't gt lonesome". There's little doubt that "wash teeth if any" is sound advice.
Sounds like a great use of some of the Matthews warehouse space.
Woody is so cool. Ultimate liberal, Okie to the bone.
Terrific show at the Old Lady tonight produced by the Grammy's and featuring great talent. One of the best audiences I've been a part of in a long time around here.
It will be interesting to see what kind of support this gets in this state. He was an outcast then and would be even more so today in Oklahoma.
I see/hear a lot of people giving lip service to him and his music - and it must be many, many more than are actual fans. There aren't that many liberal people here.

Can't grasp the concept of true American Patriots who love his music? It's tough in this environment to understand the value of putting differences aside for the enjoyment of praising the men and women who built this great country. Why are you dragging your lip service concept into this? People are better educated and more sophisticated than you give them credit for.... And The Lips were not good last night. They get too much support for vacuous artistic attempts. So, what makes you think Woody would be less popular today.
Definitely a great crowd and beautiful music. The artists were as moved by the experience as the fans. Jackson Browne and Rosanne Cash were probably my favorite performances but The Flaming Lips were AMAZING last night. It's good to remember that it doesn't just have to be about acoustic guitars. Woody would have played the hell out of an ipad. And then he would have given it away or left it somewhere.

Yes, I grasp it perfectly. And have been a big fan of Woody's since the early '60s. And you are right, true American Patriots DO love his music!
And no, it is NOT tough at all the understand the value of putting aside differences - what IS tough is getting it to happen.
And that is why it would be disingenuous of so many people in this state to claim to be fans when they elect people like Inhofe, Fallin, and Sally Kern. There are plenty of people who believe in the basic goodness of human nature (I am one of them, believe it or not...) and hope that we can eventually start directing our governments at all levels to act according to that nature. So far, still got a ways to go.
Woody would have a good size following - and would probably make a ton of money at it now. It would be a slight minority elsewhere in the country - but would be a small minority in Oklahoma. As evidenced by the election results mentioned above.
Catching up from various posts around Facebook, this is one show I wish I'd been in town for.
I'm catching comments like "Best in a long time in Tulsa", "Best show ever at the Brady", etc.
+1 Heir... if the voting was done on Saturdays or if election days were holidayed, we might see different results. Those Pubs know how to get "their types" into the booth while hurting the oppositions chances through gerrymandering and putting up other difficult "road blocks."
Well, IMHO the best show ever in the Brady Old Lady was Mad Dogs and Englishman. But this was a close second.
"this IPad kills fascists?" Flaming Lips

I thought Stevie Nicks was pretty good when she was there in early '80s. Except when she couldn't remember the words to White Wing Dove. and fell off the stage into the laps of the people down front. They were good enough to lift her back up, though. And the audience acted as prompter for the song - singing along - so it was all ok.
My favorite show at the Brady was U2 back in 1983.

Thanks for rubbing that one in. A friend had tickets, I was taking a summer school course and had an exam the next day. I said: "I appreciate the offer, I'll see them when they come back next year."
They've not played Tulsa since. Nor many other Brady-size venues since then.
Heir, I bet Woody could convert some of these darksiders over to the bright side of the road were he around today....
teaching tolerance is a difficult duty....Woody could do it.
It just literally takes ones breath away to watch that. What can ya say...?

John Hall. Good friend of mine and damn good writer. He enjoyed the concert as well. Kevin Pyle as usual does well with the photography.
This might stir up some debate, but I was thinking since some people have brought to light the history of Tate Brady and the negative connotations it has... why not rename the district the Woody Guthrie Arts District? Just a thought.
Two things landarchpoke:
The whole rename the Brady movement seems to think that names are arbitrarily given and that renaming it would just be as simple as putting up a new sign or something like that. If nothing else t would take a long time to do. Not to mention I had always thought that the district gets it's name not directly from him but by way of the theater and the street. Secondly, why woody? Bob wills arts distric is better as bob spent a solid amount of time there.
My thoughts - Keep it Brady. Don't change it. Why spend money and time on something as petty as a name change?
I have to go with jacobi and ZYX on this and don't try to change it. Too many generations of Tulsans have used the Brady as a land mark reference point, just like they have used Cain's as a reference point.
