Fourth of July Memorial Park Concert

what a stupid line up, i think i would throw up if any of these over rated groups played. how about some talent good rock n roll….STEVE MILLER, BOSTON, ZZ-TOP, JOURNEY, FLEETWOOD MAC, J GEILS BAND, FREE, FOG HAT…..i can go on and on, black keys …..whatever

I would love to know exactly where to find the lineup for this yrs. july 4th concert!

I prefer the golden oldies - Kool & the Gang, Frankie Vali/4 Seasons, Chicago, The Temptations, Any MoTown, The 4 Tops, KC & The Sunshine Band were good. I’m not a fan of Kansas & Foreigner, so I didn’t go last year. My husband and I travel 165 miles (one way) to attend this event - and sure want to thank the previous and current bank for putting this on. Thanks!

Is the line up posted yet? Could you have more food vendors this year? Seems like a perfect way to make some money and I know we always want more food choices at this event. I think we waited about an hour in line last year to get a drink. We will be better prepared this year, but, would still like to have more food/drink vendors.

And, please….what is the line up???

Huey Lewis and the News is the headline band this year.

I WENT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS AND I THINK IT IS AN ENJOYABLE FUN EVENT!

I hope the list will be better for 2013. The best concert was when Kansas,foreigner,Styxs,now that was a show. My hats off too Bank of the West.

To the person who said: “what a stupid line up, i think i would throw up if any of these over rated groups played. how about some talent good rock n roll….STEVE MILLER, BOSTON, ZZ-TOP, JOURNEY, FLEETWOOD MAC, J GEILS BAND, FREE, FOG HAT…..i can go on and on, black keys …..whatever” and “Who ever can devise setting up Bank of the West shows for 2012, I believe that A more diverse set of music should be played this year. My suggestion for this years concert should have The Black Keys and Bon Jovi or Slash and Miles Kennedy. I believe all of their schedules will be open for this date so it would just be a matter of negotiating a deal with the band.”
1- It is a free concert, if you want to see black keys and bon jovi go pay your ticket price and watch them.
2- Unless you are with those bands you have absolutely NO way of knowing if they are free, just because you don’t see something on their website for that day does not mean they aren’t booked at a private event or it could be a travel day. It is not as easy as “negotiating a deal” I’m guessing you have absolutely NO CLUE what actually goes in to putting on a concert, let alone a free one.
Like I said you’re not paying for a ticket so you have no right to compain, I’m sure suggestions are welcome, but maybe you should use some common sense and think with-in reason.

I think this show is great for the community. It has been a tradition for families for many years and whether the band is a favorite or not it has been a fun time to see friends, faimly and celebrate America. Thanks for the hard work to everyone who helps put on this concert!

Does anyone know when the 2013 lineup will be announced?

REO was my first year, and I didn’t think to ask off the next year for it, but have been every year since. 2010 (Kansas, Styx, and Foreigner) was definitely the best so far! I love making a day out of it, and just being with friends and fellow Americans. I especially love when they play “I’m Proud to be an American” during the fireworks. I get chills just thinking about everyone singing along.

Thanks to all those who put hard work into putting this together for so many people to enjoy.

It’s about 5 weeks away and I still don’t know who’s playing the concert! Am I missing the announcement somewhere?

Is Pat Benetar the only musician?

Loved when they brought in K.C. and the Sunshine band, great show, not sure why Sioux City can have Santanna and Omaha can’t do something like that!

Yes’m. Should be a great time. Weather looking pretty good.

I think that this years we should have 4 or 5 bands to play at the 4th of July’s Memorial Park concert. I think the line up should be these bands, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, HEART, KISS,ZZ TOP, Journey

I just heard that, this year is AC/DC’s bands 40th anniversary, and since it’s AC/DC’s 40th anniversary, they should play at the Memorial Park concert this year

WHO AGREES WITH ME

I think that, instead of having uncle Kracker, smash mouth, blues traveler, & 1 other band, play this year at the July 2014 Memorial Park Concert, the Bank Of The West should of gotten the band AC/DC to play at the free Memorial Park Concert this July 2014 cause this year is the band AC/DC 40th anniversary & If I’m correct, AC/DC has been together for 40 years.

when is the date for 2015 concert ,and who is coming if you know?
BTO would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy these events but last year’s show was poorly planned. Blues Traveler was the main act. We were lucky to have such a talented band there but the bands performing before them were allowed to play too long and the time between bands was also too long. When Blues Traveler finally hit the stage they were allowed four…that’s right…FOUR songs and then it was lights out for the fireworks. Omaha missed a golden opportunity to see a great band for free. The planners of this event really dropped the ball. It was extremely disappointing to say the least. DO BETTER
