From one of our members (Cane Garden Bay): On Friday September 12th I was a volunteer at the Surfers Healing Event in Montauk, NY. It was a wonderful event, I got to talk with Mr. Buffett for about 40 minutes!! He was great to talk to. After the event we went to set up at the Second House Restaurant. Jimmy was performing that night, Hawaiian Ed opened up, then Nancy Atlas, then Jimmy, Mac & Russ Kunkel (on percussion) took the stage under the small Landshark tent, it was raining hard, but they were in great spirits, Jimmy was having a lot of rum onstage and was in rare form that evening. I was sitting about 4 feet away from him! I couldn’t beleive it.

Here is the setlist, it’s not in the correct order but here it is (i may have missed 1 or 2 song)

Wino & I Know
Why Don’t we Get Drunk
Sitting Here in Limbo (Jimmy Cliff)
Banana Republics
Uncle John’s Band
Margaritaville (with the lost verse)
Southern Cross

Great performance!! Jimmy talked a lot and told the story of a Margaritaville coming to Dubai! I was one of the only ones sitting in front getting wet the whole time and at the end of the show Jimmy handed me the bottle of rum that he was drinking, he said “here’s some rum to warm you up after all the rain”. Great gift!!

Some photos from Jimmy’s performance are available in the Photo Gallery
