Yech. I reserved judgment on Joe Thomas, but actually saying "And their market appeal is still very strong" sound so obnoxious and 80s ponytail-ish, I have decided he's basically evil and a bad influence on Our Brian. He shouldn't hang around with bad seeds like that!

I've been checking around and I can't find Front Row Center on either of the PBS stations in the Philadelphia area. It seems that the two New York stations that sponsor it are the only ones advertising and showing it. Has anyone else had problems finding this weekly spring show in your areas?

I have just discovered that the only station in the Atlanta viewing area that's carrying Front Row Center is Channel 30, which is the independent local station and isn't carried by my cable provider. I live far enough away from the ATL that I can't pick up Channel 30 over the air. We can only get Channel 8, which is the state PBS network and the main provider of PBS programming.

I guess I'll have to wait until some pledge drive several years in the future to see this show.

My helpful Tivo Wish List search found that WTTW in Chicago will be airing the special on 7/1 at 11 p.m.

Shout out to WTTW:  your "window to the world"..my home town


I'm sorta looking forward to this and not really looking forward to this special...the small clips I've seen of the concert footage looks ridiculously bland.  Absolutely lifeless shooting and completely does the live show a complete disservice.  Huge shame.  I hope the other shows they filmed on the tour is a bit more vibrant than the PBS footage.

So will anyone record this ? I'd love to see it

The show still doesn't appear in the schedules for the Washington DC PBS stations (WETA, WHUT, Maryland Public Television). I have the feeling if it airs on them it would be sometime in August.

Really surprised there's been so little talk about it or a copy online... I agree, tho -- the clips I've seen look wretchedly stiff. Really a strange choice for a program that highlights live performance to do it's best not to present the power of a live performance properly. I caught one of the other Front Row Centers and it was equally tepid.

Ok, I guess I'm not surprised there's so little talk about it, then.

I've got the Tivo set to record it.  I won't be watching it live, however...when it airs, we will be on our way home from seeing the BBs at Milwaukee Summerfest.  I'm glad I will be seeing the real thing first!

Looks like it is set to air across Alabama on June 30th, this coming Saturday.
