We deserve it, while other venues that get weekends every year have had a hard time selling out, The D sells out in 2 minutes every year.................for Tuesday night shows.

Re: Pine Knob 2012
get over yourself.. by your logic.. San Francisco Deserves a Labor Day weekend show EVERY year.. and someplace else should get a a Saturday night show before ANY one gets a Saturday night show.. someplace...like...

Michigan hasn't had a Saturday show since 1997. I'm ready if Jimmy is.

Re: Pine Knob 2012
It sure seems like we're waiting long, with all the other shows being announced. But last year I didn't buy Pine Knob tickets until March 14. The date was announced about a week before that.nutmeg wrote:Weekday, Saturday, Holiday, any day......Just give us a date!!!!chippewa wrote:Michigan hasn't had a Saturday show since 1997.

Re: Pine Knob 2012
Interesting to know that "The Knob" actually has had a Saturday night during the 1-night stand era. My first show was in '01, & I believe my first stab for tix was either 1999 or 2000, so while I was aware JB was a summertime staple I wasn't onboard back in the Glory days!chippewa wrote:Michigan hasn't had a Saturday show since 1997.

Wonder if JB's promotor asks for a "weekend surcharge" from venues???
Anyone....Bueller....Bueller....Bueller.........

Re: Pine Knob 2012
Seems Palace S&E doesn't like to clash their ticket onsales. My guess is that with the Iron Maiden/Alice Cooper onsale being March 3 they're holding off the JB tix so as to not to discourage the "Eddie" fans from ponying up their $$$chippewa wrote:It sure seems like we're waiting long, with all the other shows being announced.

DR.C its well known in the music industry that the Detroit market is one of the strongest markets anywhere and lots of major artists will never book a weekend show for a bigtime tour in Detroit because they know it will sell out for a weeknight show and that they need to save weekends for small-time markets to even have a chance at selling tickets and making a profit.
So basically the D gets screwed for being a great music town and showing its support.
I dont have alot of faith this year because its been 4 years in a row for us and I remember that it was just a few years prior that we were stuck on the every 3 year plan. (oh the whats the beef between Jimmy/and DTE times). Last year was the first show outta the last 4 that Jimmy did not say "see you next summer".
edit: forgot to include that the "original" and laughable reunited BEach Boys tour goes onsale this week so we still have at least 2 weeks before we could even begin to think about a announcement from Pine Knob.

Re: Pine Knob 2012
Where the hell is pine knob anyway? I believe that our northern friends should get lots of J B concerts since they deserve them for living up there in the frozen tundra.

Re: Pine Knob 2012
And yes anything north of Huntsville counts as frozen tundra.
Re: Pine Knob 2012
OK here is my Point.. welll Points..
A. to be honest.. this tour schedule kind of scares me.. I think we all should be
happy if we get to see the Jimmy and the Band this year.. because I feel the end is near.
B. OK so you have changed the Whine from "we have been good Parrotheads pay us off with a Saturday night show" to Detroit is Musicaly strong..
WOW My original statement was meant to bring attention to the fact that
two of the places that Jimmy Featured in two of his earliest songs have gone
wanting.. so after a little thought lit's keep my original line of thought AND add your Musically strong statement..
Memphis.. mentioned in a song.. some musical history
Nashville at least one song.. some musical history
New Orleans...at least one song.. some musical history
San Francisco one song.. some musical history
Austin, TX.. at least one song and some musical history (not to mention that Jimmy's old Roommate loves there)
I bet that since the '97 year mentioned that Detroit has had more dates than each of these
now I will go with some less strong citys that are mentioned in songs that
also may not have had as many shows since '97 as Detroit
Dallas
Livingston MT
Miami
San Diego
Denver
So ask yourself... Is Detroit more important than all these places??
Really??
you get a show.. be glad..... while I do hope you get your show. I want you to look at the other side of the street...

you just dont get it. Why are you even trolling this thread??? Southern red state anger?? Anyway, dont know who edited my post but good job.
I didnt change my argument at all, you didnt get anything I wrote. I never said anything about Detroit being a musical city thats produced lots of artists so thats why we deserve it, but yes Detroit and the state of Michigan has one of the strongest Musical histories of anywhere. But again thats not what I wrote and you took it there.
I wrote that Detroit as a area that loves music, has supported acts for decades. We sell out as Dr. C points out Eddie Money shows. How many of those cities you mentioned had multiple sell-outs during the recession??? I pointed out that for years multiple artists do not schedule shows here on weekends because they need those for poor music markets. Its a fact, write Bret Micheal's and ask him. He stated that as a fact just a couple of years ago on the radio talking about a poison tour.
It's not about undeserved "whining" like you like to throw around, its about a fact. The fact that its been nothing but sellouts since 1990's during the week everytime under 2 minutes. How many of those cities you think want a show would even sell out the first day....the fact is not many.
Almost all of those cities have had more shows than Detroit, check the facts then change your argument again.
