This Thursday, at the Albany Riverfront Park in Downtown Albany, comes alive with WAR!  The City of Albany would like to honor the Veterans on this special night.  After thirty years of pushing the harmonic envelope, the band’s twenty-fourth album release can be expected sometime in the not too distant future.  “Why Can’t We Be Friends“, “Low Rider” and many other classics can be found among War’s fantastic resume filled with groove, color and passion. War’s career skyrocketed in the early 70’s as their exhilarating sound spoke to millions of Americans about the troubled times of Vietnam, Watergate and tensions of the inner cities.  Fusing rock, Latin rhythms, funk, blues, jazz and soul into a distinctive sound all their own, these multi platinum performers can still deliver to fans more than 30 years after their first appearance in Los Angeles.

The opening band Alive at 5 is Solid Smoke. 

Alive at Five sponsors for this week are Q103 and Albany Stratton VA Medical Center.

The Super Bowl XLII New York Giants return to the University at Albany for training camp once again this year!!  The Giants are traveling to UAlbany for the thirteenth consecutive summer, matching the longest period in the team’s training camp history. 

UAlbany and the Giants are currently in the second year of an agreement that has kept the National Football League organization’s training camp in the Capital Region. The arrangement also includes the option for a third year in 2009.  In the 12 years that the Giants have trained at UAlbany, the preseason camp has averaged 31,032 fans per summer. The all-time mark of 45,040 was established in 2004. 

The New York Giants will practice 19 days on the UAlbany campus, including 10 double sessions. As has been the routine in previous camps, the Giants will not practice on the days following preseason games. On the day before a preseason game, the team will hold a one-hour jog-thru session.

The Super Bowl XLII Champion New York Giants have announced several special training camp events:

§         Player Autograph Night is scheduled for Monday, July 28 following the camp’s first evening practice.
