I just hope dates come out soon so everyone can plan and figure it out

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

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.

June 17 is still open for both JB and Great Woods

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.

I agree but he doing a lot of things different this tour. Anything's possible.

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

Exactly. I pulled off a Fleetwood Mac/JB doubleheader at Great Woods a few years back. It's doable.

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".
You only have two options - havin' fun or freakin' out...

So is the night after James Taylor Aug 12th.....I think the 9/2 show is a second Lady Gaga show now.

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.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

Holy Crap! $698/night and that's the cheap room.

8/19 is still open for Jones Beach - might consider that, never been there and would like to at least once. Oooh, let me know, we could throw down with the golden harem sister :o

9/2 is open if it's Fenway. Not loving that venue but booked the Colonnade "just in case".
If it is Fenway, I'm out, no desire due to the venue

Colleen is the golden one. I'm the pink one. :P :P

And 8/19 is definitely out at GW, that date is REO Speedwagon/Styx.

7/29 looking like a good shot. :D
