Fall US IB Tour: Trade Albany BB Orch Center/4th Row (single)

Hello

I have the seat next to mine for Albany (10/26)---4th row center---that I am looking to trade for a similar seat for Boston, NYC or CT

Of course, will pay any difference in price (they are pretty closely priced)

Looking forward to this Imperial Bedroom tour

Cheers

Re: NEW YEARS EVE 1981 and 2007....

I was there in 81----"almost blue, almost 1982"

It was an amazing night with so much of imperial bedroom appearing...

As reported by others, I recall the Steve interlude that led into "happy new year"

Great fun--thanks for posting

Looking for a love by J geils...?? I don't recall that...unless it was one line and I missed it...

He did go off mic at the end (in lieu of jimmy) as he exited the stage...but it was a brief one line that was difficult to hear as the crowd cheered
