My source is someone in the Police Dept. They have to be involved from the outset.

Chicago Rumour

Ive heard that the Cubs are considering another Jimmy Concert this year. It would only be 1 show instead of the 2 he did a few years ago. No date has been set as of yet.

I dont know how much it would cost but Mears buses will pick you up and drop you off. You will have to give them times when you want to leave your hotel and when you want to be picked up.

When he played Wrigley last year I was lucky enough to be involved with the production from Thursday through Monday. I got to talk to a lot of his employees from Chareslton and the rest of the security to some of the guys that travel with him for other things. Some of these guys were just grunts and...

Usually I don't complain about ticket prices but as I posted at another board, the bottom line $$ for this tour just got wider. Higher ticket prices and less personnel (the horn section) to pay, house, feed. If the cutting of personnel went to keep the ticket prices down, I could somewhat see it bu...

I know that I might catch some flack for this but the bottom line $$$ just increased for this tour. At least 2 less people to pay, house, feed during the tour, etc.. I hope that this was not the determining reason. I myself enjoyed the horns and what they brought to the show. This move certainly did...

Does anybody remember when Jimmy added the horns. I remember the days that there weren't any but as you get older the memory cells start to go. I thought for a while there Fingers and the horns were together.

I don't know if you are aware but a lot of the Beach Balls are supplied and blown up before hand by Jimmy's people and spread around the venue. I do agree that people should be more aware of the stage area. Throwing or hitting things at a performer is just poor taste.

Depending on what happens Monday (Ticket Sales for Aug 5th) I might have to take a pass also. My Boss told us last week that the weekend of Aug 5th was going to be very busy for us and that chances of getting off were slim. Today he came in and told me he saw the ticket ad for the Aug 5th concert in...

Another vote for pavilion. I have never been completely shut out-so far. Some seats are better than others but it is still the only way to go.
