In what has been rumored to be their last ever tour, the Eagles played Soldier Field this weekend. Hit after hit, spanning their entire career were delivered to the massive audience. Always spot-on live, this performance was no exception.

With Blackhawks delirium still gripping Chicagoland, now is a great time to preserve those memories with some of the coolest (and most affordable) Blackhawks 2010 Stanley Cup Champions memorabilia around. However, these items are almost sold out, so get 'em before it's too late!

This Saturday marks the 3rd (2nd in Chicago) and final historic "Crossroads Guitar Festival." To be held at Toyota Park and hosted by Eric Clapton, it will be a collection of some of the finest blues/rock guitarists on the planet, all on one stage including ZZ Top, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa, BB King and many more. Selling out in a mere 20 minutes, this is by far the hottest ticket in town this summer. If you weren't lucky enough to get tickets, the Loop will be giving them away all week long! I will be doing my show live from Toyota Park 2pm-6pm Saturday with lots of prizes and special guests. Don't miss it!

The guys in Airbourne popped by my show last Saturday afternoon before their set at the Riviera to say hello and share a few laughs. After spending nearly 3 months living in Chicago recording their new CD "No Guts, No Glory", the band became big fans of my show and the Loop and were beyond thrilled by the experience. For those that missed the concert, you will get another chance to catch Australia's hottest new young band at the "Uproar Fest" August 21st at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre.
