    Bruce is playing with Ricky Skaggs and Chaka Khan tonight at the 400th anniversary celebration of the first landing at Jamestown. HAmpton isn’t all that far away in terms of miles. As much as I would loe to go and see that show, I hae vowed to stay away because of the traffic debacle that is Williamsburg this weekend. In some really wonderous feat of planning, they scheduled the Jamestown celebration and the LPGA golf tournament at Kingsmill on the same weekend. As badly as the Jamestown planners have botched everything else, I just cant see subjecting myself to that hell, even if it were The Beatles playing.

    However, in the interest of all who don’t live near here, I’ll make sure that I get any articles from the local newspaper and post them up for you all to check out. Stay tuned for tomorrow (ooh, there’s a good title for a song!)

    Thank you!! I also would have given several body parts to have been there — what with being a Bruce fanatic AND a history buff. But my only baby graduated from NC State on the same day. PLEASE post anything you can! :D

    We sure did miss you!

    :D Sorry to hear that you couldn’t come! The traffic and planning was as smooth as butter! The shuttle buses and the satelite parking lots were well planned out! And at $30 a ticket per day, the Bruce show with all his friends was a still and in my opinion the best concert that I have ever been to! Check out the setlist on the Current Tour Forum, I also have sent some pictures to Si for posting at a later date, also The Richmond Times Dispatch as an audio clip of the firs few songs! We sure did miss you!

    We need to get Rich into my Road Scholar in Training program. To be that close and not go? He will be a good Road Scholar one day! :D

    Hi Aaron, I found the links for [url url=mms://wmaudio.mgnetwork.com/audio/rtd/jamestownaudio.wma]”The Way It Is”[/url]audio and the cell phone vid with the governor on harmonica on “Jacob’s Ladder” – any others that you know of?

    Jamestown more info??

    Allisa-

    That is all I know for now- The Richmond Times Dispatch and the Virginian Pilot does offer pictures for sale from their staff- I looked at a few but all the really cool ones are not for sale, and I am not sure if you knew they did video tape the entire show- now I am not sure if the final product will be from Bruce or just snipets from the Jamestown 2007 folks, but it was taped.
