American Dream - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I go to lot 5 every year and this year it was great
Mostly all Parrotheads and Jimmy Buffett fans

Last year was all teenagers getting drunk

Anyone know where the real 'parrotheads' are hanging this year? We get inline at 3am every year and assemble in lot 5, but this year almost my entire crew has bailed for one reason or another. Trying to avoid the party till u puke 16 year old crowd. Where's everyone gathering??? Anyone know if Jimmy...

Not sure if this is too late or not but... My kids and I all LOVE Math Suks
When they were 3 years old they would sing it constantly

The others above are correct. Jones Beach is great for a lot of reasons. The beach, the all day tailgate, free parking, but............ It's definitely been taken over by the party till you puke teenage crowd. I do JB and Mansfield every year. My whole crew are Long Islanders, but Boston is a much b...

Wow. It's 95 bucks, that's a lot
You think he can afford it?

Hope he got free shipping

There was a time (many years ago) when I was a HUGE Springsteen fan. No one put on a better show than Bruce. As an exact opposite performer than Bruce, Jimmy is the most real and honest person you will see on a stage. His band deserves much credit also I can complain, like most of us can about the s...

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...

Is a 1pm parking lot time firm?
Every time I have been here the lots have opened at 10 or 11 am

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!!...
