If you could choose only one song for Jimmy to play at a concert what would it be and why?
Mine would be for him to play Jamaica Farewell. I know this has been
played before but I just think it
would be an awsome song to end each concert with.
I think it would go better at the last concert. For example
in Fenway instead of playing it on 9-10, he would have
played it on 9-12. In the lyrics it says
"I won't be back for many a day"
That would be saying goodbye for now
until next year! :pirate: :D

Tough question. I'll say Dreamsicle.
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win

Or...... what if you could sit alone with Jimmy, and he would play ONE song for you.....

at a concert, it's not too hard to pick one, because he's going to play all the others, anyway.

but what if you got to hear just ONE song.....?? :o :o

Ummmmmmm........

This isn't a JB song, but it is one that he has played live at least twice that I know of. The name of the song is "Blue Telescope" and it's one of the best they've ever done live. I have a feeling that it'll be on a studio album someday soon.

I heard they recorded it for FSOTW but it didn't get put on it. It's probably in a vault somewhere. Great song!

I'd like to hear "I Have Found Me a Home."

That would explain why Jimmy played at the 2002 East Hampton show right before FSOTW came out. Thanks for the input... :P
