It was always great when he played both Nissan and Merriweather, because he usually played one at the beginning of summer, and one at the end. Can't think of a better way to usher in, and out, summer.
I will always remember those years when he "book-ended" the summer with shows at Nissan/Merriweather fondly. I consider that our Balto/D.C. area was VERY lucky to have that many shows each year. I'm not sure any other region in the country could boast that many shows within such a close distance, and they definitely were good times.
Even a few years back when he played Merriweather Thursday July 3, we had a blow-out 4th of July party at the house, then we went to Nissan for a Saturday July 5th show, was a spectacular combination of scheduling two geographically close concerts around the biggest holiday on summer.
Would I love to have that many shows so close again. . .sure would.
Can we expect that to ever happen again. . .probably not.
Does it take away from the enjoyment Jimmy provided. . .absolutely not.
May the ticket gods be kind to all those who are purchasing for their own personal consumption!
