Arlene...you have waaaaay too much time on your hands! :D Good sleuthing work, but Memphis??????????? At the risk of insulting any residents of this somewhat fair city, I would MUCH prefer Nashville if the concert is in Tennesee. For my third, totally unusable guess, I borrow someone else's and say the Beacon in NYC where the US tour kicked off.

An outdoor venue would be awesome but by mid to late fall the possibilities would be greatly limited.

And it's the CITY that counts right? So, for example, "Birmingham Symphony Hall" is a vote for Birmingham UK, any venue?

I'm thinking very carefully about my second guess but it's a tricky one ...

Compiler Moderator Maarten shows Nashville on his list of Jarkko's no direct hits.
Memphis and Nashville are both in the state of Tennessee. So....perhaps, an indirect hit?

Hi Arlene,

I may have missed something. How far back is Maarten's list of "no direct" hits? I've probably read it but can't locate the list.

Thank you to the people who have guessed "Fredericton" (since I live there/here). :)

If we break Leonard's-own 1971 code - "I take the one who finds me back to where it all began" - he obviously foresaw that his performance career would see its final curtain call in Fredericton :!: :D

So, now that we've established it will be Fredericton, may I suggest to AEG that there be a stipulation that anyone who produces their ticket stubs from the May 11, 2008 performance, gets first dibs on those seats for the final performance.

Seems fair - doesn't it :?:

Leonard is clearly longing for Wolverhampton..... no-one has mentioned this before. :shock:

... and that those who guessed it right get free first row tickets? Sounds fair to me! ;-)

Shortly after Jarkko posted a message of no direct hits yet (pg 7)
CMM posted the list of guesses so far (pg 10)

I've no time to read through all these guesses, but hey... wasn't it Miami where Leonard wrote "I remember you well . . . " on the napkin? So, to make it all up to Janis, perhaps he'll return to that very hotel for reverie. Then, he can go hang out with Esther.

Geesh. I actually joined this thread :roll: ;-) . Just when my cats are feeling it's more important that I clear their guesses as to what time is dinner ;-) .

Steve I am hoping we are just guessing where the 2008-2009 tour ends...not Leonard's performance career as you say...

I was thinking Victoria as no one has said that yet but this is not an official guess as I have used mine up.

Jarkko do we get a hint soon? Puleez!!!

I'm going to have to ponder this a bit more to come up with a real guess, as I suppose my wishful thinking doesn't pull any weight whatsoever!

In the meantime, since others are doing so, I have to put in my two cents that those of us who were unable to stay for the postponed Red Rocks show get first dibs on front row! :D :D :D
