Bethel Woods is the biggest gouger for tickets in NY state Jack.
I will bet thats where you meant.
Nope , Levon in Woodstock NY about 10 miles from me in concert (The Midnight Ramble) at his house , think it was a montly thing but not sure all I know is the tics were big money. The Midnight Ramble continues despite Levons passing and tic prices are way down to 50 dollars, interesting thing I heard is that at a Mid Night Ramble at any given time other musicians such as Bob Dylan might and have dropped in un announced and played for the crowd,
http://www.levonhelm.com/midnight_ramble.htm BTW Bethel Woods and Woodstock (at least 50 miles apart) are always confused so much that there are even tee shirts and bumper stickers marketing the confusion
A cut and paste about the Mid Night Ramble from wiki,
The Midnight Ramble[edit]
Helm's performance career in the 2000s revolved mainly around the Midnight Ramble at his home and studio, "The Barn," in Woodstock, New York. These concerts, featuring Helm and a variety of musical guests, allowed Helm to raise money for his medical bills and to resume performing after a nearly career-ending bout with cancer.
In the late 1990s, Helm was diagnosed with throat cancer after suffering hoarseness. Advised to undergo a laryngectomy, Helm instead underwent an arduous regimen of radiation treatments at Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Although the tumor was then successfully removed, Helm's vocal cords were damaged, and his clear, powerful tenor voice was replaced by a quiet rasp. Initially Helm only played drums and relied on guest vocalists at the Rambles, but Helm's singing voice grew stronger. On January 10, 2004, he sang again at his Ramble Sessions. In 2007, during production of Dirt Farmer, Helm estimated that his singing voice was 80% recovered.
The Levon Helm Band featured his daughter Amy Helm, along with Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams, Jim Weider (the Band's last guitarist), Jimmy Vivino, Mike Merritt, Brian Mitchell, Erik Lawrence, Steven Bernstein, Howard Johnson (tuba player in the horn section who played on The Band's "Rock of Ages" and "The Last Waltz" live albums), Jay Collins (Levon's son-in-law), Byron Isaacs, and blues harmonica player Little Sammy Davis. Helm hosted Midnight Rambles at his home in Woodstock that were open to the public.
