Does anyone know if Jimmy will be at the Midwest Bank Ampitheater this year or is Bridgeview it for his Chicago concert?!?

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

I expect those two that have been announced will be it for Chicago this year.

[WWJBD?]

Unless he wants to throw in a few shows at Tinley and maybe 2 more for Wrigley....at which point he would be changing the name of his tour to "The Year of Still ...in Chicago"

Now that he's only doing 25-30 shows/year I guess 2 isn't enough for Chicago. And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

Yeah, you are right. I wish he would play in Tampa.

Nothing wrong with that unless you're NOT from Chicago!

Would it be for you? I'm not being sarcastic either.

You're asking the wrong guy....don't open that can. Larry usually does about 15 shows across the country (and beyond) every year...
Yes he has the means, but his arguement would be to get Jimmy to as many places as possible. So yes, 2 would be more than enough in Chicago.

Yes it would. He doesn't play the NYC/LI area every year but when he does I'm satisfied with what we get. We got 2 shows each of the last 2 years but the last time we had 2 in a year was 1998. I don't remember how long it's been since we had 2 shows 2 years in a row, maybe never. That's fine, with the reduced schedule of the last few years I don't mind if people in other parts of the country get a local show instead of me. I don't think my city deserves to get 2, or more, shows every year at the expense of other places.

And Jim, for the record, last year was the first time I went to 15 shows and one of them was a benefit concert where Buffett only did 2 songs. But I've been to 10 or more in 5 of the last 6 years.

Yeah, I guess we're lucky Jimmy loves coming to Chicago!!! Alpine is not much further so there's 3 concerts in a weeks time, let alone our travels for the rest of the year.
