Chastain Park Ampitheater, Atlanta, GA

Monday, October 17th, 2005

What

This is a small outdoor venue situated in a natural setting that sets the standard for summer entertainment in Atlanta. Tom performed here in July with TOP. I count this venue as the warmest of all locations I have seen Tom. With tables, the venue seats 6,700 people.

Price

Seats are divided into tables, reserved orchestra seats and a general admission area on the lawn. Table seats were $100, regular seating, $50.

Atmosphere

For most shows, patrons may bring personal-size coolers and/or picnic baskets with any food and drink desired, and TV trays are allowed in the spacious aisles.

Some people go all out and bring caviar and champagne; others bring a six-pack and a bucket of chicken. Food and drink are available for purchase inside the amphitheatre from one of their full-service caterers, or from convenient concession stands.

The audience noise factor is problematic, as everyone is eating and drinking right at the stage.

The atmosphere of this park is truly addictive — great friendly Southern charm. When night falls, there are hundreds of twinkling candles flickering throughout the park and it’s beautiful.
