This may be bold from a new poster, but I have been a fan since the Main Point days (that's pre-parrothead era). I have seen Jimmy since then at the Mann, the Tweeter and now CBP in Philly. Last night's Springsteen encore left me with this thought:

Just as Bruce will take a year or so off from E Street to do an acoustic tour, I think it's time for Jimmy to do the same - an all acoustic summer tour next year in the shed venues with perhaps Mac and a bass or harp player. Get back to the songs and the story telling.

Maybe the CR Band could do a criss crossing "Margaritaville Review" tour with guest vocalists to keep the tailgate partyer happyl

Just a thought...not trying to spoil the party.

Many of us have been wishing that for many years.

I enjoyed the video of JB and Ralph playing for the troops in Guantanamo Bay...next question is...where did that video go??

That would be awesome. Jimmy digging a little deeper into his catalogue with an accoustic guitar - perfect!

I've been thinking that the Reefers should tour as a group and play their own stuff. Mac could sing Last Man Standing and his others, Pete could sing Blue Guitar, Club Trini, Amy Lee, Roger singing Scoth songs, etc.

Bueller??? Bueller??? Bueller???

I would much rather pay $100 + for that type of show than for the
Stadiums
Hold
Infinite people
Tour going on now.

And maybe only play 1-2 SYKBH.

Would LOVE it!

While I have no qualms with the way he's doing things now, I often say that I hope to someday, sometime, see him in an intimate acoustic or Beach Band setting.

RM will occasionally play an acoustic songs performed by Jimmy. It is nice change.

I would like to see an acoustic cd released.

I would love to hear a acoustic version of "Gods own Drunk".

I'm with everyone on this. I'm 25 and I can't stand the hits being played everynight. Just a little boring. The acoustic tour would be great!! The Sag Harbor show is to me the best live album that he's ever done. I wish he would get what Bruce does minus the clapping and no beer drinking and that stuff!!

I would love to see a beach band tour.

I got a recording of the Sag Harbour show from several years ago. Just Jimmy and 300 or so people and his guitar. What a great show. Awesome stories, he forgets the words, stops, laughs at himself, etc. My only concern with a small venue acoustic tour would be access to tickets. I can see $500 from scalpers just to walk in. Hell, there were 40,000 in Philly last night, now try to find an intimate setting and watch the prices skyrocket.

Would be awesome.

I went to the first and third Sag Harbor shows and I have seen him twice at the Double Diamond in Aspen. I don't remember what the tickets cost but I can say that I would have paid a hell of a lot more. I don't go to the big shows anymore because its all the same crap. So now I save my fun tickets and will spend them on the next acoustic show he plays. Even though I don't make a lot of money, I would gladly pay $500 bucks to go see another small venue show. Plus, I figure I used to drop an average of $400 bucks between my wife and I for each regular show we went to. By boycotting this year and last years tour, I've saved a minimum of $800 AND I have not had to deal with the aggravation of getting screwed by Ticketbastard.
