I already got my refund from TM for the Raleigh show, the new date for the North Charleston show is my birthday. I don't think I'll go, it's an indoor venue. If there really are any shows next April and I decide to go to one, both Raleigh and Charlotte are outdoor venues.

Does anyone really believe those Spring dates will actually happen? I’m not trying to be negative; I’m legit asking? I’m sure he intends to play if they allow gatherings of 10k or more people but it just seems so highly unlikely . . . without a vaccine, of course.

The Chicago show isn't being rescheduled, so I'm pulling for Alpine to get on the 2021 schedule!!! If so...Jon, you are coming.

I know I'll keep some tickets but will get refunds for most.

Dublin September 20th.

Those are both official via Ticketmaster and venue email I received this morning.

Unofficial but guessing that Paris will be the 23rd and 25th. I'd expect an announcement shortly on exact dates.

I've already been to Paris and Dublin and as a retired southern gentleman on a fixed income I have to watch how I spend my travel and entertainment dollars.

The one "during a hurricane" was one of the 2008 Great Woods shows right? Always wondered since I have listened to/downloaded the audio of that show but didn't actually attend it, how bad did it actually rain that day? They moved up the start time of the show so it was during the afternoon instead of in the evening right?

I always refer to it as the Great, Great Woods, Hurricane Show of 2008. Yes, he played an afternoon show as the worst of the hurricane, what was left of it anyways, was scheduled to his Massachusetts at night. There were periods of sun if I remember correctly but it rained a sh*t ton. Instead of an intermission, Jimmy played God’s Own Drunk solo. That ruled. My very good friend who I typically go to shows with, his name is Bottle of Rum on this board, was able to move us up to some really good seats for the show. All in all an awesome experience.

That was a wonderful show partly because a lot of folks stayed away due to the rough weather but mostly because Jimmy had a great time telling stories that whole set list. Glad I was there for that one!
