Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed Bangor. The tailgating was a little spread out but we got a spot where we could set up right along the riverwalk area which was just awesome. Everybody was into it including the police and the fire boats. If Jimmy keeps touring I hope he goes back to Bangor.

I have come by an extra VIP parking pass for Star Lake. Apparently you can't transfer a parking pass like tickets online. Drop me a line if you're interested and maybe we can work something out as far as the exchange.

Where did they post what time the VIP parking opens? I haven't been able to find a thing about it.

will whats everyone idea on what time the parking lot will open........ do I hear NOON???? Ha! Fat chance. Especially on a Tuesday. It will be the usual cluster of cops hassling people, saying 4 pm, then 3 and then it will become total gridlock and they will cave and then it's chaos trying to park ...

Some of the reviews I've seen of the venue aren't the best but I'm still excited to check this one out. Hanging by the river all day should be pretty cool. Hopefully they'll announce when they will start allowing parking. I know they've had big crowds there before but I'm hoping they're prepared for...

Any idea when the parking areas will open? I have the VIP parking which apparently is on some of the streets near the venue. I've found some old articles/press releases for shows in the past that say some of those streets shut down at 8 in the morning but that doesn't mean that's when they start par...

Hard to believe there are still lawn seats and even VIP parking remaining for this show.

I bought the VIP parking for this show. Does anybody have any experience about how it actually works? There's not much parking at all near the "venue" so I'm just curious. Do they shut down some of those streets near the river?

According to the story on the front page of this site, Jimmy will be taking some time off after this year from touring. Like he says, he'll be 70 on Christmas so I get it. I'm sure he'll still do some one-offs at little places and probably return to bigger venues in a year or two but it will be stra...

There are NO talks for this show happening. That's from my sources at JLL. Jimmy's tour won't come off the demand for 105% of the gate and since this show doesn't come close to selling out anymore it's a loser for the venue. That's just the reality. And the screw up with the storm last year aside, t...

A few years ago Jimmy did that Why Don't We Get Drunk/Purple Rain medley. So it wouldn't surprise me if he at least mentions it tonight.

If it's like previous years it will be 4.

Chick's Oyster Bar foe happy hour. Can't beat it

A little breezy and chilly at the beach but the sun is out and the drinks are cold. Here comes summer!

The extended forecast isn't looking too good at this point: High of 63, cloudy with rain possible. Yuck.

It's just my speculation that the limited tailgating has led to fewer people attending. I'm sure there are other factors as well. But whatever the reason, fewer tickets sold makes it difficult for the venue to make money given the financial requirements of the Buffett tour. Sadly,the demand is just ...

I'm heading to this show as well. Anybody planning any "trouble" for Friday evening?

I got some good information on this situation over the weekend from my sources at the venue. As with most deals coming together, this one is about money as well. The fact is that under current terms, Jimmy and the CRB simply cost too much. At Jiffy Lube Jimmy's tour has traditionally taken 105% of t...

I've added this show to my list so now it's Bangor, Great Woods, Pittsburgh and Camden. 4 shows in 10 days. I think I'm up for the challenge. If the Jones Beach and Pittsburgh shows were reversed I'd hit that one too but the backtracking is just too far to make that work.

Hey, I'm not arguing with you. Instead of all the speculation I figured I'd pass along what someone at the venue knows: right now there is nothing scheduled and the talk there is that he's not coming. I hope something gets worked out.
