  1. Hey now .... my ticket has found a person! See y'all at the show! What's the best hotel in the neighborhood???
  2. I'll get a room right there so I can miss out on the hiking and driving. The Wharf looks to be self contained.
  3. The SmokeHouse ... best BBQ for miles. I'll have to check it out!
  4. Thanks Rude .... I'm looking forward to the ride
  5. Looking forward to "The Anthem" in Washington DC on the 21st. I've got an extra ticket, a car and looking to see if anyone in the Asheville, NC / Spartanburg, SC would want to share the ride and a few expenses. Message me! What can anyone tell me about the venue??? Looks like an awesome spot on The Wharf. Should be fun, but anyone with stronger bearings .... what do you know? Aiko Aiko
  6. I'll be driving up from the Spartanburg / Greenville area of South Carolina to catch this one show in DC. I pulled the trigger a little too quickly and will have an extra ticket. Anyone looking for a ride who wants to share some expenses ... give me a shout! Leaving the morning of the show ... Aiko Aiko
  7. Not looking for a miracle team. Just offering to pay face value for a leftover. Either way ... see y'all at the show.
  8. Anybody got an extra ticket for the show in Norfolk ... I'm interested Aiko Aiko
  9. Looks like a car pass gets you a spot to park and set up a tent with your car. Driving around doesn't really work. Everyone in the car will need their show pass too and it's different than the day parking. Hope that helps!
  10. Will be there Thursday night ... leaving Monday morning. I planned poorly for Jubilee and this worked out perfectly. Should be a blast.
  11. Apparently these two shows were his only solo shows. My birthday was a week earlier and the tickets were a gift. Nobody on stage but Jerry and the guitar.
  12. I had no idea. Not sure how I missed that factoid because I often think I know everything about my time on the bus. I got inside as he was about doing "To Lay Me Down" during the early show. Followed by "Run For The Roses", the evening was a fog of delight. I knew people who worked for the Capital Theater and I got in through the out door for that last tidbit of the early show. Freaked out or not, Jerry got his stride! The crowd was with him all the way. It was an incredible evening. I was extremely toasty and feeling particularly good. Just hearing Jerry so raw ... so Jerry. My first JGB show was in Berkley back in February 1979 ... several shows in Palo Alto come to mind as well. All were awesome experiences ... but none were solo shows. What an incredibly insightful birthday gift it was. Something I'll treasure forever as it truly was a gem like no other. Thanks for the insight ... you made my day! Here's a link to that early show for anybody who might want to take a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbGCXeZoSt8
  13. I was just poking around youtube tonight and came across a Jerry solo show I went to for my 25th birthday. It was a surprise gift and a venue you could only love if you were from New Jersey. The Capital Theater in Passaic, New Jersey. I remember being so awestruck at how beautiful Jerry sang that night. I cried then, and I cried tonight. This man is part of my soul and each performance, with or without the boys was special. This one ... was solo Jerry and he really touched the crowd and rocked my heart. For those of us lucky enough to have heard Jerry play by himself, this is honestly one of his best performances. I was so happy to stumble on this and bring back those memories. Don't get me wrong ... the shows with JGB .... Seals, Kahn, and Saunders ... WOW. But ... this acoustic performance is a must listen. I won't loose track of this show again.

  14. Well, ends up I couldn't go to the Jubilee with much sorrow. Next year I will plan better and in advance. On a happy note though, I'll be doing the two shows in Pelham, Tennessee just before Jubilee. The venue looks awesome and I can't wait to figure out the space. Now keeping with the theme of the thread; I was disappointed to NOT see a couple of shows at the brewery at Black Mountain, North Carolina. It looks like they're just starting events again after a long reprieve for COVID. I do love that venue and have been to many DSO shows there. I'm hoping, that when they open their doors wide open, DSO will welcome them back to the land of the living and book a couple there. With so many awesome venues in Appalachia, I'd be sure to tag them all as I shed off these cobwebs and get myself back into full swing. It's good to see DSO being so active everywhere. I can name a dozen or so venues within a couple of hundred miles from my home, here in the foothills, where I'd enthusiastically follow the crowd. Anybody have the skinny on The Caverns? Please share your insights ... I'd love to hear about it. See many of you soon. Aiko, Aiko!!!
