IheartKI Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Everyone post the concerts you've seen at Timberwolf, and the year! It will be fun to see if we have attended the same concerts from the past! 1. Michael W. Smith... summer 1992 or 1993 2. Hank Williams Jr. summer 1994 I also remember watching a little bit of a cheerleading competition there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChase Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Weird Al, 2004? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketingExpress Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I've never actually gone to a concert there, but I have heard plenty while working. Would have liked to have seen the Freedom Concert last year, hopefully they come back again this August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Lord.... More than I could possibly list. I've worked and seen a huge variety: Jimmy Buffet, Air Supply, REO Speedwagon, Men At Work, James Taylor, Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine, Tears for Fears, Huey Lewis, Beach Boys, Moody Blues, Hall & Oates, Laura Brannigan, Amy Grant, etc....

Mr. Christopher Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Simple plan with Straylight Run & Plain White T's: October 30th, 2005. Pretty sweet visually, but the mix for SP was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have seen or heard many concerts during 1994-2003 seasons (years I worked at the park). A couple of my favorites were Third Eye Blind and Smashmouth (front row for both of those). Kind of neat hearing Smashmouth sing "All Star" while the fireworks were going off (during the "All that glitters is gold" part) - not so neat when the band invited all the teenage girls up on stage and they rushed the front...

italianchef Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Are concerts no longer being held at the TimberWolf?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 A limited number of concerts are still presented at Timberwolf. Perhaps their number will increase in future years, though the booking business has changed substantially in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Are concerts no longer being held at the TimberWolf?? Maybe you've been away for a while Chef. TimberWolf used to have three and sometimes four concerts a week, during the operating season. They no longer do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 And with the new National City Pavilion opening down at Riverbend and Coney in a couple of weeks, the likelihood that more major concerts will ever return to Timberwolf certainly does not look very good.

BavarianBeatle Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think Timberwolf's days are numbered. With the limited number of events, I believe it is just a matter of time until it is decided that the space could be put to better use. I only went to one concert there: Joan Jett & The Blackhearts in 1982. First concert I ever went to........ (Showing my age now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Showing your age? Willie Nelson, who to my knowledge never played TimberWolf, is 75 today. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianBeatle Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Willie Nelson is 75....Sigh. Amazing!! The comment about showing my age has to do with my looming 40th birthday and realizing that many of the members of these boards were not even born in 1982. Back on topic though, I remember that I had a lot of fun that day/night riding The Beast, Bat (yes, it was running that day), Screamin' Demon, Racer, KCKC, Antique Cars, Eagles, etc. All in all, one of my favoriite days at the park from when I was young.....

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Showing your age? Willie Nelson, who to my knowledge never played TimberWolf, is 75 today. Sigh. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristopher played there in 94. It was on a Sunday and I was working in the kennel and all their fans (dogs) were singing away!!

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 In the early 80's I attended the Hollies concert and my cousen from way down in Kentuckey thought that they were a country band! He sure was surprised! Not only weren't they country, but they were an English rock-and-roll band! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the place was packed the one show I saw, and it sounded good too. 30 was pretty good but 40 just was awesome. When I was in my 20's, I was a social worker for Hamilton County. One of my coworkers was in her 50's. She told me everything just gets better the older you get. I thought at that time she was exaggerating. But, whe was right. I would not trade one year and am looking forward to many more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotank Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 1986 Jimmy Buffet. It was the concert that the term Parrot Heads was coined. Too many margaritas, we had to let every car leave the parking lot to find ours. pilotank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilotank Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yeah it's too bad. Buffet moved to Riverbend shortly after that. It's not the same because the audience is split between the pavilion and the lawn. At Timberwolf, EVERYBODY had fun, and was part of the show.

When Buffett Moved from TimberWolf to Riverbend, it had such an adverse affect on the park that our supervisor bonuses were actually lower that year.

BoddaH1994 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Explain to me how the "Parot Head" thing was coined at Timberwolf. I wasn't aware of that. BTW - I've seen two shows at the Timberwolf. I saw an educational bird show there many years ago when my class took at trip to KI to do the monorail and all that jazz. I also went to Weird Al last year, just so I could say that I saw a concert there but ended up having a really good time, I must admit.

Jimmy looked out into the audience and coined the term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
