While security at Bristow did everything they could to ruin the good time (no tents, no bottles, not opening the lots until 4), the show must go on.
We didn't hear about any cancellation either and were in the pavilion by around 7:20 before the storm started around 7:30.

It was good to attend my first show in 3 years, and about 55th (I've actually lost track of the actual number) overall. I don't know how people keep track. I have absolutely no idea what the number concert I am on. I'm not even 100% certain whether my first show was 1978 or 1979. Holy crap. This is...

Jiffy Lube Live Sucks as a concert venue...... Lots open late, told we had to take down our canopy, told we had to drink out of cups, not bottles......jeezus, surprised they weren't collecting a 'fun tax' just for being there. I'm miss going to Alpine Valley, which IMHO, is the greatest tailgating s...

MSU sucks.

I might as well jump into this mosh pit.

I might be coming up from Charleston to go with my brother who lives in DC. We might be up for joining the BN tailgate but still trying to finalize plans.

We've all got our favorites and then we all have our "I could care less if I never hear that song again" list. This is the reason I print out a set list and take it to the show (so I know when to take a beer/john break). My beer/pee break song list: "Screw" "Autour Du Roche...

I saw my first JB show at 20, (44 now) and during my hardcore PH days, was going to 3-4 shows a summer. Now, married, kids, etc, I just don't have the flexibility to attend where I want, when I want.

My brother lives in DC and we've attended around 20 JB shows together. He just sent me a text "Hey, what about coming to Bristow for the 6/20 show" I just spoke to the wife about the idea and it sounds like there's some definite interest. Need to figure out what to do with the two kids! So...

While I still consider myself a PH, I haven't been to a show in nearly 3 years. I'm up to 53-55 (I've actually lost track) shows now but my frequency of attendance has definitely gone down with the arrival of little ones. I also moved from Chicago to Charleston, SC, so while I'm definitely living a ...

It all comes down a money....and even if JB were made aware of the poor lawn conditions, do you think he's going to give 2 s*hits? What I would suggest is someone (not me, don't have a horse in this race) spend some time looking up emails and phone numbers of the mgmt for both the promoter, the Park...

As bad as the venue sounds like it was, it's all going to depend on the money the mgmt and promoter make on where JB plays. If they make more at Northerly Isl than Tinley or Toyota, then they'll be back, especially if the demand for tickets is high. I'd be pretty surprised if JB is ever made aware o...

After 18 yrs in Chgo and seeing JB at Tinley or Toyota, I move relocate to SC and then he decides to play downtown (I missed that 1 night House of Blues show years ago)! Anyway, my sister is coming in from South Bend and might have an extra pavilion seat (band member tickets) as well as a preshow pa...

If you're living a lifestyle that finds truth in his music, your political viewpoint is pretty aligned with his. He's done a great job of capitalizing on his success in business but at the heart of it, I still see a counter-culture songwriter who loves to mess with the elite. If he started voting f...

It doesn't bother me, I look at it no differently then any of us helping out a candidate or donating money during an election. The only difference for jimmy Buffett is that he is a singer and decides to use it as a tool to raise more funds for a respective candidate. Though I don't agree with Jimmy...

I'm probably slightly biased here because I lean right and vote R, but I wish JB wouldn't be doing these political fund raising performances of stumping for a candidate.

I imagine his fan base is pretty well down the middle in terms of politics but either way, IMHO, he should remain neutral.

My first year at Alpine (21 concerts so not a newbie)... We are staying in Oconomowoc, Wi about 35 miles away. What time can we get there to tailgate? (I have figured out charge for early parking and Im okay with that). what are the do's and dont's of tailgating (gas grills vs charcoal, booze and o...

Hey Chicago Phans.....PA Parrot & I will be bringing Duckett with us to Pittsburgh. Is anyone from this Chicago group going to be at the Pittsburgh show and want to take Duckett on the next leg of his Lagoon Lounging summer vacation? Kate (irishfiregirl) will be at both shows. You should talk t...

Will be hitting my 3rd JB show of the year (L'ville, Des Moines) at TP and attending with my wife, and 2 of my sisters. Looking to possibly hook up with some BNers in the lot and combining tailgates.
Just curious how many BNers are planning an organized get together?

I looked on the Livenation Website and saw that they list only two ticket prices for the Alpine show. One for the lawn and one for regular seating. I can't recall and was hoping someone knew if there was actually a middle price range? I saw that the Woodlands,TX show has three price ranges and coul...
