Yeah. He said he'd give it up before he'd start using a teleprompter. I see no harm in it personally but if he meant he should have never said it.

But he also said NOT YET during OPH...so use away Mr. Buffett!

I don't care if he ends up with a cue-card guy to remind him we're parrotheads, I'll be happy to "gaze upon his taxidermic smile!"

Re: the behind-the-stage seats, we were a few rows back beside the stage in Charlotte on Valentine's Day 1998. My hubby read the set list and we ran down to the front row @ intermission, he held me over the ledge and I got a high 5 as Bubba ran by. So, yeah, sometimes buying tix @ the last minute is a good thing!

So do all the evening news anchors. And they report the same thing every night.

one time I chose 4th row behind the stage rather than nosebleeds, when I went to a show on late notice. it was *great*!!

We sat four rows behind the stage too! I thought they were great seats

The Little Feat keyboardist for "Dixie Chicken" was an added bonus

I bet the day will come, if it hasn't already, that Jimmy uses Viagra and I'll bet my bottom dollar that Jane still loves him.

Besides, Jimmy can't retire yet because he hasn't played Little Miss Magic live for me yet.

No worries here. Only proves he's a professional and CARES ABOUT THE QUALITY of the product he delivers. I really wish my company was THAT proactive and commited to excellence.

Jimmy has hired a firm - Pimp My Concert Dates - to evaluate possible dates for the Boise shows.

...

Stay tuned for further developments regarding the most popular venue on the "Thank God For Teleprompters" 2007 Tour.

What else ya want to know???

I'm fine with the teleprompter.

I'm also glad that some of my "I will never" statements of my youth weren't recorded

When I worked in corporate confinement, all the company big wigs used teleprompters for their speeches. No biggie!

He was using a teleprompter WHEN he was saying he wasn't using them. So what?

My friend played with Jimmy onstage in 1995, and he said he was using it then.

Given the techie guy that he is, Jimmy's probably been using one since they first came out....

Just chalk it up to the ignorance of youth!! We all live and learn...

Never knew that. A statement like that is misleading at best. He should have been upfront about it.

If you watch the song/video of JB & Mac doing City of New Orleans, you'll notice him frequently looking down. Since I know he dosent wear shoes its probably a safe bet that wasnt looking down too see if his shoes were tied.

My guess is that he had a LARGE PRINT copy of the words to the song. Or maybe is was a stealth teleprompter?

Point is, whats it matter if he's using a teleprompter? Or maybe, god forbid, he's wearing contacts too so he can actually see the words?

Steven Tyler said he has to use one because of what he sees in the crowd and with the huge back catalog of songs to remember with breasts floating around in your face at the same time and so on.

But the strangest thing is...Mick Jagger doesn't use one.

Everybody's different. I kind of like it when JB screws up the lyrics. He's got so many songs to sing...screw ups are, har har, 'keepin' it real!'

I have exactly three letters (words) regarding the whole teleprompter thing.

Imagine them in a good Mississipppi accent...

He's sixty years old. He did a lot of partying in his youth.

So he uses a teleprompter.

At least he's not lip synching.
