Free Sports Pick loaded from Andy Lang: (551) Miami Heat at (552) Philadelphia 76ers: Joel Embiid Points + Rebounds + Assists
NBA and NHL champs have never been from the same city in the same year. This year could be the first.
In order of likelihood:
- Denver - Avalanche & Nuggets
- Boston - Bruins & Celtics
- Dallas - Stars & Mavs
- NYC - Rangers & Knicks
- LA - Kings & Lakers or Clippers
- Miami - Panthers & Heat
Denver is the obvious favourite, with MVP front-runners on both teams. Boston is next, since the NBA is harder on underdogs and the Celtics have the best odds to reach the finals. Dallas and New York are plausible in both sports. LA and Miami would be the biggest surprises but not impossible (unless the Heat lose both of the play-in games).

U Miami or Syracuse for sports management? Does anyone know anything about the major
Extremely Rare Unsewn (on clothing) ALL ACCESS Leather Backstage Patches For The Comeback Bob Dylan & The Band “Tour ‘74”
After taking an 8 year touring hiatus, Dylan and the band embarked on perhaps, the very first Rock N Roll Arena tour, a vast production at that time. Dylan also just left Columbia and began recording for David Geffen at Asylum Records. This tour had EXTREMELY HIGH DEMAND, tickets were only available through mail order and were extremely difficult to score. The Band, who also had just returned from an 18 month hiatus themselves and Dylan had just recorded Planet Waves and the Live album, Before The Flood was recorded during this legendary tour. There was just over a dozen crew members on tour, with very few of these being issued. These two came from Bill Graham’s personal collection. The bands leased the infamous Starship private jet of Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones fame, these would have gained you a seat on that plane.
According to New York Times John Rockwell:
“We're trying to make this whole thing as uncrazy as possible. But the most significant thing of all about this tour has been the overwhelming response to it.”
The speaker was David Geffen, 30‐year‐old chairman of the board of Elektra‐Asylum Records. He was sitting in the living room of his almost aggressively opulent Beverly Hills mansion yesterday evening talking about the nationwide tour of Bob Dylan and the Band that he put together.
The tour begins Thursday night in Chicago. It will cover 40 concerts in 21 cities in 43 days, ending here Feb. 14 and including two shows at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, Jan. 28 and 29, and three at Madison Square Garden, one on Jan. 30 and two on Jan. 31.
Response to the announcement of the tour has been “something insane,” according to Mr. Geffen. Perhaps 20 tickets could be sold for every seat available, and counterfeiting of tickets has already been First in S'Years
The reason is clear: Mr. Dylan is widely regarded as the most influential and significant star in the last 10 years of American popular music, and this is his first tour in eight years. The Band — itself considered by many to be the finest American rock group—has been almost as sparing about its public appearances over the last couple of years. In retrospect, the artistic importance of their public reunion may seem paramount, but for now, Mr. Geffen is surely correct about the astonishing initial public response to the tour.
It is a phenomenon unrivaled in American popular entertainment — except perhaps by other rock events. The newspaper ads, offering up to four tickets an envelope mailed after certain times to specific places with certified checks or money orders, provoked scenes of milling confusion at banks and post offices all over the country. Final figures are impossible to determine since moss of the letters had to be returned, uncounted and un
Bill Graham, the San Francisco promoter who is producing the tour, calculates the number of letters per mail bag, times the number of mail bags, times four tickets, times the mean price of a ticket—and comes up with a speculative figure of $92‐million in, ticket orders. With 40 sports arenas sold out, the tour will gross over $5‐million in ticket sales alone.
In addition, Mr. Geffen says five or six of the concerts (including some “surprises”) will be recorded for a live album to be released early this summer, it is any good.”
Mr. Dylan, ever mindful of his privacy, has vetoed a film of the tour, which of course reduces the potential profits. This jealous protectiveness of his privacy has been a characteristic of Mr. Dylan's career in recent years, and has fed the legend of a mysterious recluse.
Mr. Geffen is at pains to stress the “mature,” “professional,” common‐sense reasons behind that privacy. “What would you do if you had some weirdo pawing through your garbage every day?” he asks. “Dylan isn't unavailable. He goes to clubs, he can be seen around town. It's just that he doesn't want to go through the hoopla anymore.”
Still, whether you attribute it to prudence or eccentricity, secrecy has marked the tour from the outset. Mr. Dylan, Mr. Geffen and Robbie Robertson of the Band decided to undertake the venture last summer, Mr. Geffen says.
Record Replanned
Mr. Dylan, free from his contract to Columbia Records, had just signed with Mr. Geffen's company. His first new record, “Love Songs,” or “Cermonies of the Horsemen,” had been scheduled to be released at the beginning of the tour. Now its title and cover have changed and the disk will be issued in about three weeks.
The label was to have been called Ashes and Sands, a special one for Mr. Dylan. But now the record will appear as part ‘of the regular Asylum line, said Mr. Geffen. The Band, after it completes its final three albums for Capitol Records, will also come over to Asylum, although a proviso in their current contract already allows them to record on any label with Mr. Dylan.
Once the tour had been decided upon, Mr. Graham was brought in to organize the mechanics. Competing with winter sports events and conventions, he managed to put together a coherent itinerary and to book the halls without telling the local cities what the act was that he was planning to bring in. (The reason for that bit of secrecy, Mr. Geffen says, was to avoid premature ticket demands on the local box offices.)
Recording sessions for the new album and tour rehearsals have proceeded under tight secrecy over the last two months at the Village Recorder, a studio in West Los Angeles. (Mr. Dylan and his family now live in Malibu, and the Band has also moved recently to this area.)
Final sound checks for the tour took place a few days at the Forum in Inglewood. Mr. Geffen says that the tour repertory will be large, varying from night to night. There will be some new material, but most of the repertory will be songs previously recorded.
Some of those who will get tickets may not have received them yet. Mr. Graham has deliberately withheld the mailings of the actual tickets in each city as long as possible to minimize the possibility of counterfeiting schemes. Already, he; says—long before anybody knew what the tickets would look like—fake tickets have turned up in New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. And advertisements have begun to appear in counterculture papers offering money and bodies in exchange for tickets.
Mr. Dylan's concern that his own privacy is safe guarded and that this tour be approached as a simple, unassuming musical event has already led to some bizarre confrontations. Paul Wasserman, the Los Angelesbased press representative for the tour, says that no television cameras will be allowed in the halls, no backstage press or photographer's passes will be issued, no promotional campaign will be mounted, no appearances will take place at local radio stations and no backstage greenrooms for celebrities will be tolerated.
Tour Organizers
The tour itself has been organized by Mr. Graham's FM Productions, based in San Francisco (”FM stands for Fillmore Millard,” Mr. Graham explains. “I've always had an affection for him as one of our dopier Presidents.”)
The work was done by 12 of Mr. Graham's regular staff of 80. About 15 technical aides of all sorts will actually go on the road. The artists will fly from city to city in a chartered Boeing 707, lavishly appointed “with every imaginable amenity,” according to a brochure, and offering food “from organic and vegetarian to the classic haute cuisine.”
Despite all the precautions and secrecy, however, Mr. Graham says that there will be no special security, inside or outside the halls (although that of course can be adjusted if circumstances early in the tour seem to warrant it.) “Dylan attracts a mature kind of fan,” Mr. Graham argued. “We've had ticket requests from 40‐year‐old college professors as well as young kids. This is a musical concert, and we think we're going to get musical fanatics. A musical fanatic isn't a physical fanatic, like some bands attract. I don't think anybody is gomg to climb walls.”
As per Wikipedia:
As Dylan's first full-fledged tour since 1966, the announcement received an enormous amount of coverage from the music and general press. The average ticket price was $8 ($48 adjusted for inflation). Top-dollar tickets were $9.50 (roughly $58 in 2022), considered quite a lot for a rock concert in 1974. Tickets were sold by mail order, as announced in newspaper advertisements in the various cities, with payment required by certified check or money order for up to four tickets per request. The tickets went "on sale" on December 2, 1973, meaning that was the first day that requests could be postmarked. There was considerable confusion in some post offices and banks as fans unsure of the process tried to figure it out. The line outside the post office facility Rincon Annex in San Francisco stretched for five blocks when midnight struck. By three days later, there were so many mail requests for shows in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles that Graham requested the postal service return them to the senders forthwith. There was, in the words of one Dylan biographer, "an extravagant level of hype for this tour", with for instance Geffen claiming that it was "the biggest thing of its kind in the history of show business". As part of the attention, Dylan appeared on the cover of Newsweek magazine. As Geffen said on the eve of the tour's first show, "We're trying to make this whole thing as uncrazy as possible. But the most significant thing of all about this tour has been the overwhelming response to it." Geffen claimed that up to twenty tickets could have been sold for each available seat. Promoter Bill Graham estimated that some $92 million worth of ticket orders had been placed ($556 million in 2022). Graham said of the ticket sales process, "It was, uh, rather monumental." Although some hyperbole was involved in some of Geffen's and Graham's statements, there was in fact an intense level of fan and media interest in the tour. There were a problems in a few cities with tickets being held back by local promoters and then sold for much higher prices. There were also reports of counterfeit tickets in circulation as well. In some cases alternative newspapers ran classified listings of people offering sexual favors in exchange for tickets
