Re: Who is going to Camden 6/18/09?

The venue security was told by Jimmy's security to start deflating the beach balls after the third song. Same with the dancing in the aisle. Especially, the pit. So Jimmy was responsible for the deflating of the beach balls, and for the no dancing in the aisles? Hard to believe, but I really don't ...

As far as Camden, a Thurs. show won't matter to the tailgaters.

Wood should have been placed under the metal plates that were used as a floor for the concert. Starting with the stagehand accident (amputation of foot) and ending with the choppy field. This concert had several glitches that could be a future hinderance to put on a show at CBP. Great show by Jimmy ...

Next year ,I think I'll pass on the "working" concert and go as a paying Parrothead. CBP is cool. But the SBC is my home venue that I know inside and out. The tailgating is better due to arrangement of the the parking lots. Everything seems to flow better. Looking at your pics, I came upo...

I have been reading the various experiences posters had with the "security" for this show. There were many security issues that presented themselves as the show unfolded. I was working security (15 years of concerts and previous Buffett concert experience). I'll sum it up under "Lack ...

Anyone seen Tim McGraw live? Got a Security gig for him tonight in South Jersey and then Buffet Tomorrow. Can I come help you with Tim???? Sure. I was told it would be a rambunctious crowd of females and couples. For Buffet. Luckily, I only work the inside, field level. The Phillies are bringing in...

Most venues allow the cell phone camera. It's a non professional pic. Many artists want a ban on the cell phone camera's on the pit and the first 15 rows. After that, the pics are lousy anyway. To ban all cell phones. The security would have to have about 50 extra people available. The camera policy...

The 2 parking lot tailgating policy is never enforced during Eagles games.
Many private lots across the street will be open earlier.
The problem with parking will not be arriving. It will be leaving at the same time as a Rush concert and an Arena football game will also end within a 1 hr. period.

I work for Security at any concert JB plays in the Philly area. It would be highly unlikely for someone at a concert in the Philly area to be removed for failing to stay in his/her seat. A badge from law enforcement means nothing in a concert venue. Many people working security are ex/ current law e...

It"s been years since a resident from Camden caused a problem with a concert ticket holder. If anyone has had a problem. Stated it please. I"m curious. I work the venue. The amount of ejections and arrests at a Buffett concert have risen everywhere the last couple of tours. Just a by-produ...

rider

Seems like a standard rider for all performers. I was in the music business for 6 years. Nothing really different in Jimmy"s contract. One thing about the closing of the doors at the sound-check. That"s the time where many artists try something new (covers, stripped down versions) with the...
