Jimmy Buffett discussion
http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/
Kevin (PA Parrot) and I were there a few years ago (the night before Jimmy was cancelled at Bristow because of the hurricane). We saw John Prine for our first visit at that venue. It is beautiful and the sound is amazing. At that time they allowed you to bring in coolers and food so we saw a lot of folks sitting on the grass having some drinks & snacks prior to the show.
ohhhhh -- we saw the Moody Blues many, many moons ago at Penn State (where Kevin was a "student"). That would be an awesome show at Wolf Trap. They are actually coming to the Mann Music Theater (about 1.45 hrs from us) in July. We are considering it......
Yeah, saw them do the "Long Distance Voyager" tour of '80 or '81 I believe. Then had tix to a May 2015 show at Red Rocks. Unfortunately the show was moved indoors due to snow & cold weather. Still an excellent concert! This tour marks the 50 year anniversary of the "Days of Future Passed" album. I think they're gonna play it in it's entirety, then play the second set of all their greatest hits. Would recommend seeing it!
Sounds simply awesome MD. Hoping I can make it work & score some pavilion seating! Tempted to become a "supporter" of Wolf Trap just to ensure tix! BTW....August 11th my phriend, LL&his LB for your listening pleasure!!MDShark70 wrote: ↑March 3, 2017 2:47 pm Wolf Trap is awesome. I get there a few times a year. There are no video screens if you're on the lawn so the view isn't great from there but the sound is excellent. Unlike Great Woods which is amazingly sucky. But I digress. Yep, you can take in coolers and picnic on the lawn prior to the show or if you have seats inside you can also do all that in the parking area before the show. Tax money well spent for this national treasure in my opinion. I'm hoping Lyle Lovett and his Large Band return again this summer.
When the Filene Center burnt down 35 years ago the support to rebuild was amazing. It's a good story about presidents, entertainers and the community coming together to rebuild in just over a year.

Schedule announced!For the record, Linda and Kevin did not drive to Wolftrap themselves. DC metro area traffic frightens them.Saltx3 wrote: ↑March 2, 2017 7:12 am Kevin (PA Parrot) and I were there a few years ago (the night before Jimmy was cancelled at Bristow because of the hurricane).

yes, Bob's account is correct. Heck, Kevin doesn't even drive to church 5 miles from homesurfpirate wrote: ↑March 5, 2017 8:50 pmFor the record, Linda and Kevin did not drive to Wolftrap themselves.
