Pearl Jam is at FenwayPark August 5th and 7th they just announced.
So that leaves the 18th. Unless they get a country act in there.

Why the hell is everyone playing Fenway? It has lost its romantic appeal now if everyone is playing it

1. 38K capacity.
2. Easy to get to, public transportation which is a factor for people who want to go to a show.
3. Regardless of how many shows they have at Fenway Park it still has that appeal esp to the bands and fans of the bands who have never played at Fenway.
4. Fenway is very easy to market for any event to help ticket sales. e.g. even Barry Manilow sold out Fenway park.
5. Bands can make more money playing at Fenway

Edit: I meant Neil Diamond sold out Fenway. I don't think Barry Manilow ever played at Fenway. Same difference though.

While I wouldn't mind a Buffett show at Fenway...there are plenty of bars around the Stadium to keep us busy...it means we give up the tailgate.

I just wish he would announce all the dates at once like chesney then add dates here and there. It's so tough trying to schedule vacas and such. I'm a teacher and off in the summer but it is still hard to figure out schedules

I think he did that once and created another s*** storm when he had to cancel dates.

I remember when he did that. He even did a video with a big screen behind him and they kept zooming in on Google Earth to each venue. For some reason it just seems to come out in drips and drabs for his shows anymore.

We didn't get them until late March last year if I'm not Mistaken , rarely do we get them in January!!!...Unless it's the spring fling of the previous tour. Which was announced already.

I'm pretty sure that I purchased my tickets for Great Woods 2015 in late February.
