I got this info by e-mail this morning. What a great small theatre tour this will be !!!! Robben Ford & Eric Bibb as Bluesbreakers When I listen to Mayall's 2002 cd release, Stories, which has a song "Kokomo" written by Eric Bibb, I can almost imagine what these Bluesbreakers might sound like together _________________ Travelling by train of thought

From Mayall's web site it looks like RF and Bibb will be opening, not playing as Bluesbreakers. But it is a little hard to tell. Not much info.
Anybody familiar with the Paramount in Austin? I was checking out their website and it looks like you have to be a subscriber (and order tix for four shows - no thank you) in order to get a seat. Are there any other options for tickets?
Coming up this fall is the "Rockin' Blues Review", featuring John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers, Robben Ford, and Eric Bibb, Sept 21-Nov 20. See the Tour Schedule for a show near you. It will be a 2 hour show with a 15 min. intermission. Eric Bibb comes on solo, then Robben Ford WITH The Bluesbreakers. Then a break. And then John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers will play.
WITH The Bluesbreakers COOOOOOOL _________________ Travelling by train of thought

Thanks again, RW! I bought 3rd row center balcony tickets today for the show in Portsmouth, NH on 11/13. I'm psyched! I'm also toying with the idea of driving the 2 hours to Keene, NH on the following Sunday night, 11/20, even with the long drive home. But, heck, two for one- see a great concert, then take the next day off from work! _________________ Soul on Eleven

Telefunk,
Try calling the box office directly. The two performing arts centers in Tampa Bay usually release (re-sell) tickets for any season ticket holders not using their seats. Sometimes you need to check back several times to see if any tickets have been turned in. It helps to be very nice to the box office people when you call. I've been able to get great seats this way. Good luck! _________________ Travelling by train of thought

Yeah, the theater that I got my tickets, the Portsmouth Music Hall, had all of the best seats, about 2/3 of the center orchestra section, reserved for members only. That's ok- I'm happy with 3rd row center balcony... _________________ Soul on Eleven
