Great Woods Show

Well, just got in from the GW show. It was my first time at that venue, and I have to say, what a party! Best tailgate I have seen. The show was great, unfortunately Jimmy ran out of time and couldnt do a second encore. Everyone thought he was going to, even Charleston jumped back down into the crowd until the house lights came back up. Oh well, it was still a good show. I didnt know if I would like the DMB cover of Tripping Billies, but it sounded amazing live. It's much different than what it may sound on RM. Anyways, whole show = 8 out of 10, IMO. :D

The show sounded great. I was out on my back deck listening to it on my sirius radio. The band and Jimmy seemed to be in a great mood and the crowd seemed really into it :pirate:

awesome show..... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jake Shimakumburo is an incredible musician, and really added to the sound. I didn't think A Pirate Looks at Forty could be done any better... but the ukelele melded in perfectly and made it better.

Jimmy and Mac looked like PROUD PAPAS watching Jake play. :D :D

my seat was indeed "limited view," as the ticket said, but what I was missing was the lighthouse, and not much else... thought I couldn't see Jimmy, Mac and Jake very well during APLAF,,,

I was tucked in right beside the speaker bank, stage right. It was fantastic!!!!! :D :D

Jake is AMAZING!!!

I saw Jake at the Nissan show and I agree with you. He rocked the house.

Great photos. Glad you all had a blast.

I loved seeing what Jimmy was wearing. Kingston green shirt with yellow trim. He really looks in top shape...muscled up!
