Not enough time to fight the crowds to reach the p***. Unless there is a VIP place to go if you have VIP

This maybe the only down side I see to JB dropping WDYGDAS (my BRB song) .... but - hey, in my opinion, I can work around that!

Instead of getting beer, just sneak in a bottle of water. Well a bottle of water filled with clear rum and buy a coke a the start of the concert and do shots with chasers the whole show.
In answer to the original question, like others said, about 15 minutes for intermission.

Thats why if I plan on drinking during the show... and not sitting in the lawn near Lee2 ( those who know him know what I am talkin about). I usually will bring in a pint of the good stuff.

He had an opener at Gillette and didn't have an intermission, and it was like 1-2 min between the last song and encore...but usually 15-20 min

I was surprised there wasn't an intermission. When Jimmy left the stage and Peter Mayer sang the Marley tune, I wondered what was up, as I expected the video to start after it, so I waited to hit the bathroom. Then Jimmy came back and got back into his set, and I finally had to hit the bathroom during
"It's my Job"....got back in time for most of it though, and got to see the video of the rookie Red Sox pitcher throwing the no-hitter during the song. Thought that was a nice touch considering the location.

When we were at Irvine on Sat nite, Spring '06, a consistent drizzle fell starting right from the first notes of HHH.
We sang and danced in the rain, and Jimmy & Reefers soldiered thru without taking a break.
It was quite da cool time
personally, I could do without the break altogether

At Pizza Hut Park and Minute Maid Park this year, I liked how they had concessions set up on the field. You really didn't miss much while getting beer.
There were even large porto potties set up on the field in Houston, so again, you could watch the show during BRBs and still see everything while waiting in line. NO intermission time there.
