The festivities kick-off at 8 p.m. on AT&T Cable Channel 29/77 with "29 Live: Tasty Clips" a retrospective featuring a full hour of the best performances from 29 Live. The live show follows in its regular time slot at 9 p.m. with local rockers The SuperChamps! taking the stage for this special edition of the program. Both programs will be shown in the Experience Music Project's Liquid Lounge. | |
