Suggestion, Nascar is LOUD if you are going to try to listen to your scanner at the track, invest in a noise canceling headset, no you don’t have to spend 500 dollars at the Bose store, but a cheap iPod or Walkman headset isn’t going to cut it. Just something to consider.

TV Frequencies-

Monitor the live play by play just like if you were at home with the added perk of feeling the roaring thunder right before your eyes! Also nice when you get to hear the directors queue’s to the air talent or the occasional bad words during commercial breaks!

These frequencies vary in every city as the Broadcast Remote Pick Up (RPU) frequencies are usually already assigned in every major market and require coordination with the local Broadcast Engineer frequency coordinator, the channels listed below are for Phoenix but you can easily find the channels with your scanner by searching the 450.0000 to 451.0000 mhz and 455.0000 to 456.0000 mhz bands.

Driver (Car) Frequencies

These are the frequencies you WANT to listen to if you have a favorite driver or team, you often hear things way before they happen like a driver coming into the pits because of a problem or the team spotter calling the shots to the driver to go LOW or go HIGH to get around traffic or an accident.

If you have a programmable scanner plug in the channels for your favorite team and don’t forget the alternate channel as these often reveal team chatter between drivers for strategy!

Another great show where this years theme was Disney’s Incredibles go to Disneyland as a family and encounter an evil plot by their arch nemesis from the movie Syndrome to take over the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ and make it his new evil empire.

As always a great show, my presale tickets had us in the front row on the ice and that gave Hagan another opportunity to say a personal ‘Thank You’ to our favorite mouse for a great Saturday afternoon.

Thankfully I did get to see them, March 26th, 2009 here in Phoenix, the Face 2 Face tour again blew me away.

My only comment is that with the incredible catalog of music that these two guys have between them, Elton really did the crowd an injustice by performing some of his deeper tracks that even I as a former classic rock radio DJ didn’t recognize.

Joel is my hero, his energy, jokes with the crowd, interaction with everyone in the audience and on stage shows why he is the consumate entertainer. I was also pleased that Joel performed “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant”, my all time favorite Billy Joel song that he doesn’t often do, I could have left right after that song.

Each performed together at the start and end of the show plus played about an hour of their own music, the last scene of the concert was them playing together for the second time taking turns singing each others lyrics and it’s funny how in many cases Billy sings Elton songs better than Elton and vice versa. During this session they also did a few covers of Beatles songs including “Back in the USSR” and “Birthday”.

Piano Man concluded the show, no surprise there, sung by both artists.

Now on to the pics, not my best work, only had the chance to bring my little Nikon S610 into the show, but captured some good stuff, out of maybe 150 pics, these were the best, but I also got some video from the cam, which I am going to try to edit into a quick piece if it works and post it here.

As always a click of the image takes you to the album.
