Thanks for all of the input. The "censored" versions of most of the songs mentioned, I know about. Other than "Margaritaville" so little Buffett is played on commercial radio that I found it interesting that the changes were ever made. And "Manana" censored, gee who wou...

The Tweeter Center at Tinley is the pits in many regards (the first being the muddled sound if you are in any seat behind the first pavilion section). I heard a rumor a while back that said there was allegedly a new venue to go up in the northwest Chicago suburbs. Poplar Creek, in Hoffman Estates, s...

I was coming home from Sturgis with my wife and some other friends on our Harleys and we stopped at a rest stop on I-90 somewhere in the wilds of Minnesota. A fan chalked a "last message to Jerry Garcia" on the concrete sidewalk for all to see. Though not a Deadhead, I thought it was a fit...

We have acquired an FM radio station in Chicago called Jack-FM. The format was "oldies" but now they "play what we want" on WJMK. I understand that this concept has moved into several or most of the large radio markets across the country. Anyway, I enjoy the mix of music and a co...

Now that the stage is set (so to speak) for the two Wrigley Field concerts on Labor Day weekend, what songs do you feel would be appropriate for the setting and why? Jimmy has the opportunity to really change the setlist and do some songs with a Chicago flavor. The "why" part is just as im...

Evidently everyone wanted Sunday, September 4, as their first choice. I couldn't even get a chance at purchasing tickets until about 1043am. The most I could get was one ticket. At approximately 1100am, I was kicked out because the Sunday show was sold-out and I re-entered for September 5. I was abl...

I can't speak to the seating/viewing/sound arrangement at Cincinnati but other venues that I have seen him in rate as follows: 1. Alpine Valley - I started going there in 1977 or 1978 and is was, and always will be, the very best place to see anyone. Alpine is a natural setting in an actual valley. ...

I just went a got my old "Flip Side" envelope (a long, gone record store in the Chicago area) which contains my collection of concert ticket stubs. The stack is about two inches thick but this is what I found....... The stub was for a June 26, 1982 concert at Poplar Creek (a venue near Hof...

I have seen Jimmy sing it while playing in the Chicago area (Tinley Park) as Steve Goodman was from Chicago. As I remember, it was generally during an acoustic set. I'm disappointed when JB does not do one of Steve's songs, as a tribute to him. I would love to see him do, "A Dying Cub Fan's Las...

Maybe he should change his name to Jimmy Proffitt.

Just logged into Ticketmaster. Got two tickets in Section 102, Row X, for tonight's show. Only pairs seem to be available in the pavilion. Multiple tickets are available for the lawn. Time: 10:40am

Spooner, Let me say that your name is great (Spooner is a wonderful little town in northwestern Wisconsin). Your take on the whole situation is right-on. I have been going to Jimmy's concerts since 1981 and I have heard the SYKBH selections heaven knows how many times. I look forward to those gems t...

Jack, Alpine is always a wonderful show. That natural valley and trees make it the best place that I have ever seen ANY show. I have been going there since 1978 for shows. I listened on RM last night and it was great. Having to be to work in downtown Chicago by 645am on Sunday mornings precluded me ...
