This is going to be one of the biggest jazz fests yet. Advanced tix are on sale now and there is no way anyone could complain with a line up like this. From just about every genre,era,decade etc...

Lineup sounds so swell, even if some I do not consider Jazz. :thumbsup::cheer:

I just can't handle festivals anymore. Just too many people for me.

I'd wind up being a nervous wreck trying desperately to get in front for all the different stages.

MAYBE.....if I could find some 8 inch platform shoes I could do it.

These things reallllly suck for us short people. :(

Tickets for the opening night April 20th Louisville show sold out in 28 minutes. only 2700 seats were available for this show. fortunately i was one of the lucky few to get tickets. I do wonder what older Zep tunes RP will be doing at these shows.

I know, I live in Memphis and this is the closest they are coming and I couldn't get tickets. I can't believe they are not going to Nashville! :(

I absolutely suspect they'll do Nashville. It's her home base. Don't forget they've just announced some dates prior to the European leg of the tour. They're planning to come back to the US in June/July. My guess would be they'll end there :D

I really hope I get to go to see them in a theatre like this(so much better than an arena).... I looked at their website and wow, it looks gorgeous.

As far as if Alison's boyfriend is there... hmmm... maybe I don't care if he's there... but heck, I wouldn't mind knowing who her boyfriend is.....especially if that means it's not Robert Plant.... hehe. :D

Why? Who cares? Not really our concern is it.

Exactly. I didn't even know she has a boyfriend, Robert maybe? (haha just joking). She is very private with her personal life too although she has an 8 yr old son from a previous marriage. Wow, listen at me, sounds like I just gave too much info, LOL!!!!!

Anyways back to the show itself, wish I could go. Man, what a lineup!!!!!

Man, I hope so! I'm just not into festivals anymore so even IF they play Bonnaroo, I'll pass.
