I think it is safe to say 8/20 will be Great Woods. Maine on the 18th, Pitt on the 23rd. There will be a Saturday show in between so the options are GW, Jones Beach, Mohegan Sun or Camden. Every reason to think it is GW.

he hasn't done a Saturday in Camden in a really, really, long time.

We just reserved Aug 12-14, 19-21 & 26-27 at the Roof. The weekend of 26-27 has only 1 rate posted at $199/night :cry:

Would he do Maine and Gw close together. How many people from Maine and NH and possibly Northern MA would go to both.

He used to do Mohegan Sun and (2) at GW the same week. And wa back he did The Meadows, Saratoga and GW all in the same week. But GW is only 4 hours away from Bangor so it does seem like he would be cannibalizing some of his audience who only go to one show.

Also forgot about Woodstock. He could skip GW all together and play Woodstock on that Saturday. Which actually makes some sort of sense.

Who? :P :P
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

I have an insider tip that told me today to bet on GW 8-20. Not officially booked yet with the venue but they are in talks.

I highly doubt he will play that weekend......Chesney is playing at Gillette. That's why it's so expensive.
