BOK Center Opening Announcements

[Composer]

The OPENING ANNOUNCEMENTS will come tomorrow at 10AM.

We have now learned that Garth Brooks will not be the first to perform, but will cut the ribbon at the BOK Center opening.

[TulsaSooner]

Whoever it is, will they be kind of a big deal?

[NellieBly]

No Garth? Must be The Eagles then.

[RecycleMichael]

I think you all are putting way too much emphasis on the first act. I am sure whomever is selected will cause some to cheer and others will be disappointed.

We could get Obama, the Pope, Hannah Montana, and Elvis back from the dead to sing barbershop and somebody will post that they aren't "big" enough.

What really matters is the first year of acts. I want to see lots of performers, not just one.

Someone needs to let the folks running the arena know about this new kind of music called Rock & Roll.

I'm guessing that tomorrow they'll prove that they already know about it.  [8D]

Phish?

but, really....c'mon somebody knows.

I fear it is more of the same - that being nothing of interest to the 18-50 year old non-country fans.

That and everything in Tulsa sucks anyway.

I know people who know, but won't tell me.  I tend to believe that they know.  The TW and tv news stations are well aware at this point.

Today's press conference was all about answering why the heck Brooks isn't opening, since he's the blatantly obvious choice.  And this kind of confirms that Brooks is weird guy to me; I guess it's cool that he puts family first and all that, but this was a no-brainer for him.

Media hasn't done a very good job.  I've known that now (as well as other forum posters) for about two weeks.  It was also rumored earlier this spring.

well, get the word out then so they'll be forced to announce it ahead of schedule and their thunder will be stolen.

We have all been here before, we have all been here before.....

Well I'm a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy

Well I'm a-standin' on the corner in Tulsa, Oklahoma
With such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed ford
Aiming her rifle right at me

Come on baby, don't say maybe
I've got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up I'm climbin' in to take it easy

Well I'm a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's just a little hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I've got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me

You know we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

If Jackson Browne opens, I'd go. I'd go if it were Jackson Browne.....but he'd more likely play the Brady.

Take it easy....

[MDepr2007]

Why just another concert by a national band to open up with?
Be different and with this group in charge of the decision , that scares me[]

[sgrizzle]

Originally it was scheduled for 8am. wonder why the change.

Many people have known for awhile. One often obnoxious member has known for awhile and posted it on here but I never wanted to confirm his insider tip.
