New England 2012

Post by Phishster »

Any plans in the works for a trip up to MA/New England this summer? I remember a few years back Jimmy coming to Gillette, unreal. Would love to see something other than Mansfield though, perhaps another Fenway?

Fenway probably won't have repeat acts, at least for a while - it's become one of those novelty venues that hosts 1-2 shows a year. The problem with Gillette back in 2007 was that it was almost too big a venue for JB and the sound was really bad if you sat in the uppers. He apparently used a sound system like he uses at Great Woods and it did not carry well. He should have tapped into Gillette's sound system and that would have solved it. It was also very cold and windy that night in the uppers.

Overall, I think Great Woods is a more fun tailgate and better concert setting.
Life is a Buffett Buffet!
