Re: Great Woods 2017
Maybe he starts Saturday July 15th in Chicago and he ends Saturday July 29th in Mansfield. Assuming he sticks to the TTS that would be 7 shows which is about the length of most of his tour legs in the past. Between Chicago and Mansfield there are plenty of regular stops; Cincy, Indy, Detroit, Jones Beach, Camden, and room for another stop or two. I just hope it is not Fenway Park and I hope it is a Saturday show

Re: Great Woods 2017
How about the Saturday after Labor day , he did play Gillette after Labor day a few years back. I'm not sure if anyone is booked at GW that weekend......29th could be possible.BottleofRum wrote:Maybe he starts Saturday July 15th in Chicago and he ends Saturday July 29th in Mansfield.

June 17 is still open for both JB and Great Woods

Re: Great Woods 2017
If he is in Frisco on June 10th it would be unlikely Great Woods would be a week later. Great Woods is always part of a swing of shows in the northeast/midwest. I can't recall a tour gong from the south to the north in a span of a week.
And I do hope it is NOT the 17th because I am going to see Train & OAR June 18th at Great Woods so that would be a long weekend.

Besides if you have to go to back to back concerts.......do it. You can sleep when you're dead.

Exactly. I pulled off a Fleetwood Mac/JB doubleheader at Great Woods a few years back. It's doable.Carolinadreamin' wrote:I agree but he doing a lot of things different this tour.

Re: Great Woods 2017
No northeast dates at all yet.
7/29 is my guess for GW. Booked the RR for that weekend.
8/19 is still open for Jones Beach - might consider that, never been there and would like to at least once.
9/2 is open if it's Fenway. Not loving that venue but booked the Colonnade "just in case".

Re: Great Woods 2017
The Colonnade, huh? Whats that going for? I'm guessing $450? That is the best place to hang out in Boston in the summer. I love it there. Even if Buffett wasn't playing its a fun place to stay for a night or two. I love the rooftop bar and there is always good people around to hang out with.TommyBahama wrote:So is the night after James Taylor Aug 12th.....I think the 9/2 show is a second Lady Gaga show now.lime rickie wrote:No northeast dates at all yet.![]()

And 8/19 is definitely out at GW, that date is REO Speedwagon/Styx.
7/29 looking like a good shot.
