Re: Jimmy on NBC's Today Show Summer Concert
I miss the old days of the Friday morning concerts when you could get there at 8:30 and still be close to the stage. The first week I worked in 30 Rock, Prince was the musical guest on the Today Show. It's the only time I ever saw him live and there were only a couple of hundred people there. Back then the show was only on for 2 hours and ended at 9:00. Most of the musical guests would stay after the show ended and keep playing. One year Buffett played 3 songs on the show, then 3 more for the live audience after 9:00. Chrissie Hynde & The Pretenders played until 9:30. After the last song, Chrissie looked out at the crowd and said "Don't any of you people have jobs?" 
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

I won a fan pass and would love to go. Unfortunately, I live in Detroit and believe a last minute trip to NYC would be extremely expensive. Any suggestions from NYC people?

Does Jimmy use a teleprompter for all his songs now? Looks like it.....

Re: Jimmy on NBC's Today Show Summer Concert
It did look like Jimmy had to check the lyrics for Summerzcool, but not the rest of the songs. But I could not see a visible teleprompter.
He is looking great!
