Is a 1pm parking lot time firm? Every time I have been here the lots have opened at 10 or 11 am 2 years ago it was 1PM , Last year was Fenway. I think the tickets say , lots open at 1pm. Someone with a ticket could confirm that. I'm going to bet it stays at 1pm. GW usually stands there ground on th...

I've done it about 7 or 8 times. Mostly Jones Beach on Thursday into Great Woods on Saturday. Lots of fun. I have to admit I'm getting old and would like more than 24 hours of recovery time. Lol Different people, different vibe Love both places Idk if this is on topic or not but..... Lol lol I can b...

One year I wrote in magic marker on sheets of construction paper the city and the year of each show I had been to. I then taped them around the edge of my tent. I honestly don't keep a PRECISE log so it was mostly a good guess. It was cool to do ONCE and I'm glad I did it. But in the end, no one rea...

It's time for Jimmy Buffett to rethink his marketing strategy. I totally understand his many years of slowly and sometimes last minutely announcing his concert schedule but I'm not sure if it's still effective. Many bands in his age group (Stones, Kiss, Eagles, Bob Seger, Rod Stewart and others) are...

JD Spradlin has said he expects "new tour dates to be added" about 4 or 5 times this week

I don't think he would be allowed to say that if it wasn't true

Who knows

This is pretty embarrassing. As a 20 year parrothead with about 50 or 60 shows under his belt, i have no idea what MOTM is. I know its a few days of 'trop rocking' and living the KW life but..... How do i get involved, can i just show up? Do i need tickets in advance ? Do we just stay anywhere on KW...

Great day at Jones Beach. My first time back since 2004 and it was a fantastic day all around. Parking was easy and free. Security and police let fans be fans unlike how it was in 2004. Great weather, better company, great hospitality from BNers, BNer friends, and non-BNers we got to spend the day ...

Let me preference by saying "maybe it was just my location or "maybe I'm getting old" but.........
I feel the Tailgating is becoming less and less about the music/lifestyle of Jimmy Buffett/ being a Parrothead and more about teenagers needing a place to drink.

I'm not really much of a Kenny Chesney fan. I can't say I totally dislike him but every time I hear one of his songs I wind up saying to whoever I'm with "Gee, Jimmy Buffett wrote that same song 25 years ago." I don't know, maybe I'm just old. I don't think there is a lot to read into the change in ...

Last I was at Jones Beach was 2004. What is the parking situation like now? Back then it was just like $10 to park We were planning on parking wherever then walk over to where everyone is unless things have changed. 2016....I arrived at 715am and could not get in the main parking lot (4 or 5. Not s...

I don't think it has anything to do with "snobs" on Broadway, it has to do with being able to appeal to a wide audience in order to be successful. Buffett doesn't appeal to that wide an audience. Too many people seem to think BN is a microcosm of society, it isn't. We may be fans, but the overwhelm...

Can I PLEASE not have to make a choice between first and second? 1 A.... Great Woods. Been there maybe 7 or 8 times. Insane tailgate. Great shows, I think Jimmy loves playing there. Added bonus.... As a native New Yorker I get openly and proudly express my deep deep hatred for the New York Yankees!!...

It would be nice if he would open with Brown Eyed Girl, followed by 5 O’clock Somewhere and then Knee Deep, the Mac – Allman Brothers thing, Take it Easy and finally ‘Cover du Jour’.  This way I can spend an extra hour in the parking lot and walk in when Jimmy Buffett is ready to sing Jimmy Buffett ...

With all the cover songs he does, I'd love to hear OPP. Or "I like big butts and I cannot lie."

The Humpty Dance is a family favorite in my house

We're going to Fenway! I was really excited as we got decent field seats. I was so excited when we got the pre sale code and just jumped on them. I'm getting more and more disappointed after reading stuff on FB and here. Is it REALLY that bad? We've been to Great Woods, Camden , Jones Beach, all gr...

Hey All
I hate asking this question but what is the tailgate like in Bristow?
My usual road trip is to Boston but I don't think that will happen this year. Virginia /August 4 work well.

Is it an early parking lot?
Great crowd ??

Thanks John

Maybe Wrigley not selling is a sign of the times. Fenway isn't selling either. When a quarter or more of the set list at almost every show is cover tunes, it could be that people are tired of seeing what's rapidly becoming a lounge act. I became a Jimmy Buffett fan because I like Jimmy Buffett musi...

Some rudimentary sleuthing today on the Jones Beach website seems to indicate a 2018 Buffett show is likely planned. All the shows listed have the same basic URL structure artist name followed by jonesbeach.com/ so Ozzy is http://ozzy.jonesbeach.com/ and Poison is http://poison.jonesbeach.com/ etc....
