Who went to Great Woods- 6/18

[aeroparrot]

How about the downpour right after Jimmy sang "Let it rain" during "Stars on the Water"
The roar that went up from the lawn was incredible. And it rained so hard we were even ankle deep down in the first 10 rows because it came down the aisles like a stream.
That really was a great concert - I'm glad the ENCORES album has the encore from it.

Felt the rain hitting my back, I think my seats were two or three rows from the lawn section.

Have to agree with Jon.....the Hurricane Hannah is probably my favorite show ever....and whenever RM plays "trying to Reason with Hurricane season" from that show that he put on the "ENCORES" CD, I always smile remembering Jimmy sing it live.
I actually enjoyed the show being early that day, and being back at the hotel to change clothes by 7pm..... and Larry & I going over to see Tommy and Fu at the Holiday Inn to party afterward.

I remember still being in the venue just after the show ended, talking to Jen. "I wish he had done Tryin' To Reason With Hurricane Season." Jen had this horrified look on her face. I said "Oh $h!t, he just did it, didn't he?"

Priceless!

It really does sound like a rockin good time. I am pretty sure, if I had lawn tickets, I would have said "are you f'in kidding me?!" and then kept having a good time. All you can do is laugh at times.

What year did we have that huge thunderstorm roll through? 2009? That was something else. Dave just kept grilling right through it and I remember hearing about Zuke standing in the middle of the street yelling "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!!" while it was hailing.
The party does seem to get better when the weather is weird.

Yep, 2009 with the hail...Dave kept grilling and Chris and Marlyn kept dancing.

Friends of ours have video of us out dancing in the rain that day

LOL! Good times are always had by all at JB show.

"MORE RAIN, PLAY ON THROUGH, HELL YEAH!!!!"

That rocks! And I love the size of the rita glass in the background. And did we break into 20 pages for a concert that hasn't be announced yet?!

Any day now Chris.

SPEW! Horrified, or totally confused?

The best moment, I felt, was just before Jimmy played God's Own Drunk. He made a gesture and said something to Mac telling him to get off the stage. It looked like Mac did a double take and said "are you sure" or something like that and Jimmy just waved his hand at him. A solo God's Own Drunk followed. Perfect moment. It looked like was completely impromptu to everyone involved . . . but Jimmy.

Yep, that's exactly what happened. Mac came back on stage, grabbed his guitar, and JB waved him off. Mac did a double take and sure looked like he said, "Are you sure?" and JB waved him off again. Looked like Mac cocked his head and said, "Awwright" and put his guitar back in the stand. Which means one thing.... JB called an audible and did God's Own Drunk without the teleprompter!

I was up by the RVs when the storm hit. I seem to remember yelling something similar. Foolish barefoot children in the rain, taunting Mother Nature.....

Nothing like doing tequila shots at 8AM, right Jon.

That was a GREAT show and a GREAT day!!

Ohhhhhhh, and the Mud People who were sliding down the lawn.... I think they had mud a quarter inch UNDER their skin....

[SchoolGirlHeart]

FOUND IT!!

Ah, yes.... 2008.... the last year before we were banished to the dreaded "Lot 13".....

No Matter, we've now made Lot 13 OUR OWN!

"Barefoot children in the rain"????
...reminds me of the first "Buffett Weekend Beachcomber trip" when it rained while we sat (slept) on the beach

Covered up in towels and that collapsible mat thing that Marilyn has - we were NOT leaving no matter what!

Speaking of the Beachcomber, is that still on in between shows, whenever it is?

[gunthermoose]

Planning on it

[ScarletB]

Me too! I love that place

[Ragtop Girl]

Can't wait

Can't think of much I would rather be doing at 8AM. GREAT times!

That is a riot! I will have to listen to that show again today.

Last year was my first time in that area, and I didn't think it was that bad. Kind of like being in our own world.
