Hollywood, CA - HUH?

Little Miss Magic's Mama · May 1, 2007 12:50 am

My parrothead friend, Nicole, and I are headed to either Las Vegas or Hollywood. Don't care where he plays just don't wanna miss the tour.

Of course, we haven't told our husbands that we're headed out of town to see Jimmy.

I saw Jack Johnson at the Greek a few years ago which was a fun show great atmosphere and would be a better place for pre-parties compared to the Bowl. I saw James Taylor a couple years back at the Bowl who put on a great show. I couldn't believe that you could bring your own beverages in the concert but I'm sure that would be changed if Jimmy plays. About Stevie, I saw her with Fleetwood and she sounded great with them.

I agree, CB....Jimmy's riders will supercede whatever the Bowl allows.

My sister went to the Bowl for Jimmy about 8-10 years ago....and got "Boo"ed for standing and dancing in the aisle.

I have to admit I'm a little nervous about this venue.

Me and the she-crab have seen Jimmy at all 3 of the afforementioned venues (the Bowl in '89 and '90, The Greek in '92, Gibson/UA for the Millenium show).

If it's The Bowl, their parking plan negates any logical form of tailgate (as does the Gibson/UA). The Greek is not much better but does have a bit better layout if it is planned out well.

Our line of thinking is to get a LARGE soft side cooler and pack it as a picnic (plastic bottles, paper plates and a can of Sterno!).

With an October date, I could even wear the white sportcoat to go with the pink crustacean!

I honestly hope that she puts on a great show...but I'm just telling you what I know of her singing. It was painful and I was embarrassed for her...even dropping an octave or two because she no longer has the range she had, she was completely off key. Once could be a fluke...3 or more times is suspect. I will cross my fingers for a great show for the Bumper crew!

Ahhh, the Fabulous Forum...I think my friend and I lost our car there at a show back in college.
The Forum was once a GREAT venue in a GREAT neighborhood
Stones, Yes, Bowie put on some great shows there

Then came the '80's and both have dropped off considerably

..and Stevie Nicks must be running out of rent money for her Laurel Canyon digs,
cuz last time I heard her at CV with Tom Petty, she sounded like an ashtray would if it could croak

Removing any doubt, Stevie was on last night. Her vocals, her band, the set list.......incredible show!!!!!!!

I'm so excited about a Hollywood date. I just moved to LA from South Carolina and while so far I love it, it would do me wonders to hear Jimmy live out here. I was thinking The Hollywood Bowl for the show too. That would be a great venue.

Obviously they are talking about the Forum in Rome

I just dunno where we are gonna park the 30 motorhomes we had at Irvine last year.

Haha. Parking is a pain here in LA. I have trouble finding a place for my car to fit, pretty sure the mobile homes wouldn't work in LA.

I saw Jimmy several times at the Hollywood Bowl back in the early '90s. He played there on the Air Margaritaville Tour. Those are some of my favorite Buffett shows ever. Great venue. Magical. I even got to shake Jimmy's hand as he was making his way to the stage with his guitar. Great memories.

I'm going to go see John Williams conduct at The Hollywood Bowl in July. It'll be my first time seeing a show there. It looks like a great venue.

The Bowl was a great place to catch Jimmy. I don't remember much from the show I saw back in '95 except that Jimmy played Uncle John's band and deadicated the song to Jerry Garcia who had just passed away.

Tailgating was wherever you could pull up a slab of concrete and pop the trunk with some lounge chairs. We stayed at a large hotel about a half mile from the bowl and walked the tailgaters all afternoon and had a great time.

Alright, we got the vegas dates, and we all bought our tickets today. Now that all us left coasters dropped down the cash for tickets, the So Cal dates can't be too far away from being confirmed...right? Most likely between the Vegas shows.

I'm hoping for Irvine rather than Hollywood, but we'll see. Ideally, I'd like a show in So Cal on Thursday, Oct 25 - that way we go to Irvine Thursday, wake up Friday and drive up to Vegas. Who's with me?

bumper · Post by **bumper** » June 19, 2007 9:52 am

I got used to the idea of no California shows this year, doubtful any dates will be announced.

There will be a show, if not shows, it is just a matter of where. My guess is there will only be one, but others are hoping for both LA/OC and San Diego.

He'll be here, we just don't know the details....this is killing me.

bumper · Post by **bumper** » June 19, 2007 7:03 pm

my first year as a pessimist for So Cal dates...wish it were not true but it is what it is

regalis · Post by **regalis** » June 28, 2007 3:47 am

I am still optimistic about a north cali show, but I guess I might be able to go to a south cali show.
