I've been giving it a lot of thought and I'm leaning towards not going to any shows this year, which would be the first time I missed going to a Buffett show since 1992. There's one thing that could get me to change my mind, but I don't see that happening.

If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

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

It's about 3 to 4 hours north of Boston.
That was going to be my next question. If he does Thursday in Bangor and Saturday in Mansfield, how long would it take us to get down there.
Probably towards 4 hours going from Bangor to Mansfield but about the same time frame.
I live in Portsmouth NH, Bangor is 3 hours (a little less) north of me. GW is an hour and a half south. You have to drive by my house on 95 to go between. So I'd say it's 5 hours from Bangor to Mansfield on a weekend.

Portsmouth is about an hour and a half from me, but the way I drive, I can do Bangor in two. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That would be about 5-6 hour drive from where I am in CT , I think Portland was about 4 if I remember.

The show is listed as a 7pm start time so another opening act on this tour. Really hoping it is not ZZ Top for the whole tour.
Wonder who the opener is. :-?

ZZ Top is done with their Europe tour in July and they have no other dates listed after that so signs point to them. Plus they are opening for him in Frisco. I really am not a ZZ Top fan at all.
