GNET and their Run will be right in the thick of it this weekend...check this out...(especially the pictures ...) KLP archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com Copyright ¸ 2000 The Seattle Times Company Arts & Entertainment : Friday, June 23, 2000 Experience Music Project EMP: the opening experience by Patrick MacDonald Seattle times staff critic If you've been to Bumbershoot and Bite of Seattle, you have some idea what it will be like today through Sunday at Seattle Center. The opening of Experience Music Project will probably draw the same kind of crushing crowds, along with the same kind of traffic jams and parking problems. So it's a good idea to plan ahead before you go, and that's what this section is all about. We've listed the set times for all the free shows and most of the ticketed ones, so you can plan your arrival and departure times. We have a map showing the performance sites. We suggest you use public transit to avoid both driving and parking problems. It's a historic weekend. Families will bring their kids, telling them they'll be thankful some day when they'll be able to tell their kids, "I was there when it opened." It'll be a multigenerational crowd, ranging from kids just learning the history of rock 'n' roll to those who lived it. Even people who might not like the look of EMP will be there to check out the free music. The free lineup ranges from rock great Patti Smith and country picker Junior Brown to blues star Taj Mahal and rock pioneer Bo Diddley. One of the prime events is an all-day celebration of classic Northwest rock with Jr. Cadillac, Merrilee Rush, the Ventures, the Dynamics, the Wailers and Paul Revere & the Raiders, topped by the Kingsmen doing "Louie Louie." Contrasting that are a couple of shows of contemporary Northwest rock. The ticketed shows offer once-in-a-lifetime lineups, the likes of which haven't been seen since the last Woodstock festival. The one tonight with Metallica, Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kid Rock and more is amazing, while tomorrow night's includes a reunion of Eurythmics along with Beck, Matchbox Twenty, Alanis Morissette and No Doubt. It's not all rock music. There's a DJ/Electronics show with some of the top names in both genres, a jazz show featuring Bill Frisell and Larry Coryell, and a soul show starring James Brown. There's even a performance for children, demonstrating the evolution of percussion. You can thank Paul Allen for this weekend's celebration. He's paying for all the free concerts, subsidizing the ticketed ones (the revenue won't cover the costs), and built Experience Music Project, which will remain a draw for decades to come. But its grand opening weekend will happen only once. Don't miss it.
