I think we are becoming a bit spoiled. We have access to all of his concerts via radio and now TV. Plus, you can download those shows via jokelben. I think we may have too much of a good thing and when that happens we tend to become over critical.
I wish Jimmy dug deeper at times but at least he is still touring and having fun. Everyone outside of this forum love the setlist. It is all over Twitter.
Jimmy has also said in almost every interview he has been in that if he doesn't play certain songs, he would get murdered. Wasn't last year he dropped Changes IN? and there was a complete uproar? It is almost like when my students beg to have class outside and then when I take them out there, they complain about being hot.
Everyone has a right to critique. That is not my point. Just my two cents.
"Tragedies very often become comedies, and they better become comedies real fast or else you're in a lot of trouble..." - Jimmy, 1978.

He skipped it for the Nashville show in 2013. Where was the uproar? First I've heard of that.
I was at that show and I honestly don't even remember him skipping CILCIA, that's how little I missed it. There was no roar - up, down or sideways - from me.

I went through the entire setlist discussion for that concert and there were only two mentions of that song in the entire thread. One indicated that it was fine that it had been skipped (at that point from it's normal position in the set) and the other (from after the concert) mistakenly indicated that he had messed up the lyrics when he sang it.

No need to retire from the forum. I've run into plenty of opposing viewpoints here over the years, it sort of comes with the territory on message boards.

Nashville is an indoor venue and last year it rained most of the day. The majority of the preshow partying was in Margaritaville and other bars in the area. I don't remember if they showed video from a different show, or shows, during another song.

Much of the video they play is stock clips from old shows mixed with a little bit from the current day's lot. When Bristow had the tailgate ban, the video was a mix of people partying in the lots (which there was none of) and desolate lots and people sulking.

Of the memories. . If it wasn't for a mere boy with a dream to hear a song, the bristow venue might still s***, but now sucks less. I salute that nautical wheeling young man for reviving the whole Bristow, Va economy with his dream. I understand during Changes in Latitude this year it will just be video of that lad rolling up and down the hill at Jiffy Lube Live in pure glee after the show ended.

Lol. Perhaps.
Just to beat this dead horse into the ground, it's never been more evident than in the CILCIA video from the tailgate ban year. You were forced to enter the venue as soon as you exited your cars, so there was no party in the lots whatsoever. So, you can clearly tell what was local footage and what wasn't. Plus, Bristow has no paved lots or parking space lines, so even more obvious that the footage is from elsewhere.

That really is funny. Great Woods, which still has one of the better tailgates, used to get footage from old Irvine tailgates. Its like Jimmy are still trying to make it real but the effort aint what it used to be. Perception versus reality.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

The first 15 seconds are from Bristow, for sure, although you can see where I had to edit out a boob-shot for YouTube. I do not know if those were Bristow boobs. After that, I can say with high certainty that 0% is from Bristow that year, if ever, perhaps with the exception of the little girl waving at the very end. I don't recall how much, if any, from before that clip may have been from there, but clearly the latter part had nearly nothing new. In all of the years I've been going, the parties I saw in the lots in VA and MD didn't usually match up to what was shown on the screens. That seems to explain why.
