Almost time for Chastain concerts, entertaining
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hot wings and silver: a classic Chastain combination.
This summer’s Classic Chastain concert series, running from June 14 to Sept. 13, will be announced in the next couple of weeks.
Along with great music, for some folks, a Chastain concert means polishing the sterling. The above photo, from AJC archives, shows a Chastain guest serving wings out of a silver chafing dish. In the one below, concert goers enjoy a glass of wine before the show.
Chastain’s legendary party scene hasn’t always gone over big with some folks, most notably performers including rockers Neil Young and Michael Stipe and “A Prairie Home Companion” host Garrison Keillor, who have all complained that the concert can feel like an afterthought, what with all that entertaining going on.
What’s your take: has Chastain’s party scene eclipsed the performances, or does it add to the fun? Anyone have pix to share of elegantly appointed tables from past concerts?
