Was Led To Believe

I bought tickets the first day-in part of the hope of going solo after my friends said they'd be too busy to go. Life got in the way I really missed seeing Newport. However as even the HOJO's outside of Newport was $250 a night I'm glad for financial reasons that I did not go. Jimmy said it was goin...

Ticket Market

The ticket market is very weak right now. In the past it tanked when gas hit $3.00-now approaching $5. I have 2 tickets for James Taylor at the Borgata for tonight that I still have-usually good seat for JT are snapped up close to day 1 of sales. Just packing a bit for tonight and can see how many c...

Tickets Released For Philly

Just received a message from Comcast saying they released seats due to production changes. Pulled up 2 in section 132 row 2. If in the area I suggest trying eBay for discounted tickets though (and have them overnighted-or pick up in person) as many shows are not selling well-Jimmy and overall. Sea y...

Anyone In The Know Hear Anything About a Chesney Appearance?

Is there anyone in the know here who has heard anything about a possible Chesney appearance tonight (Thursday). If you don't know Chesney will be in Brooklyn in the early evening for a taping of a July 4th TV segment. :pirate:

Scalping at the Garden

If you sell at the Garden be very careful as the known scalpers-some of whom are well known to sell fake tickets-could give you a big problem. As far as I know it's illegal to sell within 1000 feet of the Garden.

FINS UP For Margaritaville AC!!!

Congrats to Jimmy and Coastal Properties! I think the former Trump Marina is a nice property-it is gorgeous to go outside near the dock and watch the outdoor concerts (and there is a bar there) with a nice breeze. My friends and I have gone and will likely go this summer to see New Jersey's John Edd...

MSG

Madison Square Garden is a great place to see a show (don't know about those 400 level seats and some of those 300 level seats behind the stage are cramped and right below the roof) with great acoustics. However, the overall Parrothead experience (though it's a hoot to arrive by train and see the Pa...

WOW What A Show!-Bruce Benefit Show Count Basie Theatre 5/7

I'm reading the initial setlist from the show from early reports. Bruce basically came out and said he was going to play both the whole "Darkness on The Edge of Town" and "Born To Run" albums in sequence!!!-and he and the E Street Band did!!! Bruce supposedly worked the crowd as ...

Bruce Singing Jimmy

I think Bruce would do a great version of "A Pirate Looks at 40". With the death of longtime band member Danny Federici it might fit in with Bruce's setlist actually.

Jimmy and Bruce

Bruce and Jimmy together would be a dream-better than sex (not that I get the former). I vaguely remember a linkage between the two in the past year but perhaps more likely would be a guest appearance by Richie Sambora or John Bon Jovi (Bongiovi) as we know Jimmy played with Richie and Roger Waters ...

Covers

I absolutely love Jimmy's version of Southern Cross-always sounds heavenly. Love Brown Eyed Girl as it's a pretty much a summer standard. I'm real happy to see that Jimmy is bringing "Mexico" back. As for any other covers Jimmy should practice 8-12 or so per tour and rotate. I liked Brian ...

The Garden Is selling Slow Because...

The Garden is selling slow because: 1) The tickets are WAY overpriced and expensive to begin with. 2) In prior years nobody could give away tickets to the Garden shows. Even last year you could pick up a single at cost. Therefore many fans will chance it and try to purchase tickets if they are going...

Spartan-that demand is mostly speculation. You can pick up both lawn seats and reserved seats for St Louis on eBay for cost if that. 8)
