Live and Inflight with Sheryl Crow For one flight, and one flight only, Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, Sheryl Crow, will be playing to a sitting-room only audience (until, that is, the captain turns off the seatbelt sign) aboard a United airplane traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles in a first-of-its-kind concert that will launch the new partnership between United Mileage Plus and Sony. And LiveFlyer was able to snag a front-row seat. Well, maybe not front row, but it's a good seat. All right, all right, we're in row 38, but we wouldn't trade it for the world. Thanks to the partnership, Mileage Plus members will be able to download 100 songs at a redemption cost of 10,000 miles -- an innovative benefit that is sure to appeal to music-loving frequent travelers. Full details and redemption rules on the "Music for Miles" program will be available in early May on the www.mileageplusmusic.com Web site. After checking his beloved iPod at the gate, LiveFlyer's Randy Petersen will join several other invited guests on the flight and will enjoy a 40-minute acoustic set by Crow and an accompanying guitarist. You weren't invited, you say? Not to worry. Before, during and after the event Randy will post updates and pictures right here so you too can enjoy the experience. You'll feel like you're right there in his seat watching and listening to Sheryl Crow, only without the hassles of reclining seat backs and shared armrests. So grab your favorite drink and a lighter, and join us onboard (or online, as the case may be). The log is temporarily unavailable. Please try again at a later time and thank you for your interest. |
