Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
Thanks so much Dutchy and Roxanne for your kind words. When we were at the concert John said it is a pity we did not have Dutch Harbor's fishing rod to drop down from the balcony!!! When we were in Vegas I felt so sorry for this tramp or homeless person that I gave him some money two days in a row ...

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
I think many fans are the ones which owe Jimmy an apology. When people consistently said these shows to play a "greed based show" at Landshark Stadium, they were clearly wrong. I'm sorry that Jimmy had to face this slander and just hope it doesn't detour him from continuing to give 100% t...

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
Dean You say don't blame Jimmy for the cancellations. OK. Maybe it's Live Nation or the MGM or his managers or the Economy that caused it to fall apart. I'll go with you on that. All I'm saying is at the end of the day someone has to be accountable to the FANS . Remember these are fans who are ticke...

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
News of this show makes me even more confident that the MGM cancelled the October dates....not Jimmy. If he was going to be in Vegas this week anyways, I'm relatively sure that he would have done the shows on the 17th and the 24th if the opportunity was available. At least Jimmy was gracious enough...

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
Whats up Rick, how is your weather? I was at those NW shows too. I believe I even met you all at those. Vegas, pretty much every year since 96. Not anymore. This was like cancelling a date with a woman by saying your sick, going out with your friends and running into her that night. I am so over th...

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
It's so glad to know others think along the same lines I do. Thanks Bob Roberts 1468 and Yorkshire Parrothead. TraderRick, while I do somewhat agree with you the Pacific Northwest hasn't had a show up here since Portland in 2005. That show drew people from California, Seattle and Victoria BC. I'm v...

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
I don't know what the break even for a concert like this is, but they obviously they felt that three concerts in Vegas would not sell out. They were probably right as the New York concert still has good tickets for sale. I thought the 1st one might come back but I guess when it's business it's all ...

Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.
Evidently Jimmy did do a concert in Vegas- in October. It was a private one for Budweiser at the Hard Rock last Thursday night. Now obviously this was probably a corporate concert arranged along with the cancelled MGM shows that he was obliged to do. I understand that. What I don't understand is why...

Re: Who's Going to Vegas 10-17-09, with or WITHOUT Jimmy!?
We were there tonight WITH JIMMY!! We managed to get into his private show at the Hard Rock Hotel with great difficulty (don't ask how)! It was a super show but he did not do an encore. He finished with Fins and that was it. Think he may have wanted to leave. We were probably the only few Parrot He...

Re: So what IS Jimmy doing in October?
My guess is that Jimmy's doing nothing in October. I think that he just decided to take the month off when the west coast venues cancelled these dates. He may do a surprise appearance at a bar or an island somewhere if he's traveling.....but I really don't anticipate any big announcement of any con...

So what IS Jimmy doing in October?
OK-Look I don't want to start up the Cancelled West Coast Tour thread again. Needless to say it's a sore subject with a lot of us and hopefully we all got our chance to vent. But could someone tell me what Jimmy is actually doing in October? Tailgate appearances at LandShark Stadium? Half-time conce...

Glad to see PirateNurse finally got a response from the home office. Good job, PN- You rang someone's bell! At least there's been an acknowledgment of what a divisive and poorly handled issue this has been. And maybe it might be time to give this thing another look. Hell, we all screw up- even Jimmy...

Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!
People need to come to grips with the fact that we are drops in his fan base bucket and there's no reason why he HAS to do anything except give us a good performance when we buy a ticket. Anything else is something that we, as fans, decided to do on our own. People, we are not important, we are not...
