JB Concert Rider

Post by jaytrader »

This may be old news for many but I just happened to stumble on this while doing a google search for jimmy sites. The Smoking Gun has a copy of Jimmy's concert rider from 2001.

There's probably nothing too juicy in here since the lead-in paragraph only talks about food but it's always interesting to see what our favorite rock stars need and want around when they do a show in your town.

enjoy....

highlights (according to me)

15 dozen towels
1 carton frozen snicker bars (last but not least)
30 cases of corona (nice)
Jimmy's room gets one case of coronitas
Jimmy likes Balance bars
Coral Refer Male dressing room has beer and wine
Coral Refer Women dressing room has no beer or wine
Vodka, Rum and Crown in the production office (nice)
Jimmy's limo gets 2 cold coronas (wonder if he's obligated to have coronas around at all times - like what's his name and the pepsi bottle)

Otherwise, seems like touring with JB is a very civilized affair. I would love to be a part of his touring group.

And Jimmy is first in the line for dinner....

Looks like he enjoys Evian as well.

Of note: all the beer is to be iced down by 3 pm. :D

out of all of the people's riders i've read so far, Jimmy has by far requested the most alcohol . . .no surprise there.

I love the part that reads "if the door is opened during rehersal" JB gets paid but doesnt have to play the concert!

And I decided I need a rider... ya know a list of my demands... for the next time I go look for a job! LMAO

Given the conditions of the Coral Reefer Male bodies versus the Coral Reefer Female bodies, perhaps this is the reason?

Also, I'm sure most of us realize the way that the terms of the rider are drafted. Jimmy says, "You know, I'd like some water, please." The lawyers say, "There will be six (6) bottles of Evian water..."

Finally, as a former "guest" of a band member (and hopefully, a guest again this summer), Room A is mine! I demand more smoked fish!
