Show Length

I don't want to get into any long discussion on this subject (and this is not a criticism), but I am just curious as to when Jimmy reduced the length of the show by somewhere between 20 minutes to a half hour.

I overheard some staff at Jones Beach discussing this last night.

Tom Curren Concert Audio

Does anybody have an FTP for the Tom Current portion of the Amagansett show?

No Mac At Talkhouse In 2011

It seems that Mac's appearances at the Stephen Talkhouse have not been "mutually beneficial" for all parties involved, as there will not be a Mac show there prior to JB's August 19th date at Jones Beach. If anybody knows of other Long Island area appearances in that timeframe, I'd apprecia...

Re: Jones Beach Sales S-L-O-W...

Could part of the reason be the lack of big newspaper ads? The shows have been announced so haphazardly...usually there are big color full page ads prior to the sale date. I don't know what was in the NY area papers but in Boston for the GW show I only saw one small ad announcing the show and it wa...

Jones Beach Sales S-L-O-W...

Tix for Jones Beach...a Friday night in mid-August...went on sale about a hour and a half ago, and the first mezzinine has not even sold out. That is demonstratively slow for a JB show on Long Island. It certainly means that ticket "brokers" are more or less out of the game this year, and ...

Re: Looking for 2 JB Solo Benefits appearances

Was at the Martha Clara Vineyard show, and I know for a fact that it wasn't recorded. The show, which was a fund-raiser for the Wounded Warrior Project, featuring mostly local acts, was done with a minimum of equipment from the center of a vineyard. I believe I still have some photos from this appea...

Re: Ticket buying secrets??????

...and sometimes you just get lucky...this morning I got in about ten seconds to the hour, and got a single in section C, row D, right on the center aisle in Jones Beach (four rows back, just right of center). Never happened to me before in over ten years of trying...guess it's the economy. <g>

Re: My Review of Jones Beach

As far as Jimmy's mike on Weather...it was on, just not at the level it normally is when he's singing. Just listen to the recording of the song in the concert trading thread...you can clearly hear Jimmy singing the first line. By the way, I was pretty close to the front too and I didn't see Mac tap...

Re: My Review of Jones Beach

Did anyboy notice at the beginning of "The Weather Is Here," that he came in a full bar early, and kept on singing (despite the band not joining him) until Mac tapped him on the shoulder? It seemed to me that he wasn't aware that he had jumped in early. Don't know whether his earpiece was...

Re: My Review of Jones Beach

This was the only JB show that I went to this summer (most years I see two or three, but the economy has hit my business hard), so I paid some extra bucks to get a second row, dead center orchestra seat. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the closer you sat to the stage, the more sins were revealed....

Thanks...I guess that means that Jimmy did not join Ilo last night!! I may still have time to get out to the Talkhouse for the show if I drive fast enough from Manhattan. I would call for tickets first...the Talkhouse is TINY. ...and the word is out that Jimmy & Mac will be likely be in attenda...

Ilo Ferreira...and some Special Guests @ Talkhouse!

Rumor has it that Ilo Ferreira will have a couple of "very special guests" when he plays tomorrow night (7-29 @ 9PM) at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, Long Island!
