Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band played on Thursday night at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA as part of the 2009 Summerzcool Tour, the first of two shows. The show marked Jimmy Buffett’s 50th appearance at the venue.
The set list along with comments are now available.
Jake Shimabukuro (ukulele) and Ilo Ferreira were special guests for the show and contributed to several songs. Ilo sang lead vocals on the song “Home Again“. Sweet Sally Taylor, the daughter of James Taylor, added background vocals to “Brown Eyed Girl“.
Buffett dedicated the song “Last Mango In Paris” to former Coral Reefer Tim Krekel who passed away on Wednesday.
The show ended with Jimmy doing an acoustic version of “Tin Cup Chalice“.
The Boston Globe has a review of the show: “Buffett’s breezy, feel-good vibe still resonates”
Last night was Jimmy Buffett’s 50th concert at the venue he still calls Great Woods, and odds are good a chunk of the 17,000 or so fans at the Comcast Center attended all of them. And who can blame them? Buffett is more than a tunesmith. He’s a walking lifestyle, a tuneful outlook, the barefoot figurehead in a laid-back philosopher’s club whose grass-skirted, Hawaiian-shirted members make annual pilgrimages to a virtual reality with its own breezy theme song. About a frozen drink.

15th row tickets, friends and great weather. I take a spill walking down an embankment in the parking lot and tear my quadricep. Get a great ride in a golf cart to the First Aid Station. Get to see Peter Mayer walk by just before I go home without seeing the concert…. Arrrggghhhhh. Summer is over..

Great show! The one song I wanted to hear Jimmy play more than any was “Tin Cup Chalice” and he ended with an acoustic version… if I died today I would die a happy Parrothead…
