Tim
McGraw/Faith Hill, Jam Productions, Panic! At The Disco, and Madonna
were just some of the big winners at the 18th annual Pollstar
Concert Industry Awards at the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal
CityWalk February 8th.
As
promised, host Lisa Lampanelli tore the audience a new one and
even some of the bigwigs of the concert industry took some licks.
One agent (an arbitrary choice) was "so hated" that,
on his MySpace page, even Tom won’t be his friend. Live
Nation was about to "annex Poland" and some dude from
Pollstar who was unfortunate enough to be sitting in the front
was accused of being very friendly to goats.
All
in all, it was one memorable evening…
Located at the Universal City Walk in Los Angeles, the Gibson
Amphitheatre is celebrating it's 35th Anniversary.
