I was fortunate enough to meet him on a wild July 4th weekend a few summers ago..... He will be missed deeply. :( Sail on Captain.

It's a HUGE weekend. Expect some high prices, but the lineup inluding Buffett will be worth the trip- expect some high prices for rooms- book now if you can!!

Hello all.... haven't posted in a long time- couldn't help notice this topic. Jimmy Buffett can retire whenever he wants- he has achieved a status that really never comes to "farewell". The Stones, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Madonna, Kiss,..certain bands and people in the music world leav...

I'm still very curious about a few things-

When is the tailgating actually starting, and what lots are available? I've heard about certain prices for certain areas- which are the best? can the early tailgaters simply party at the hotel parking lots first? And what's up with the construction?

....any seat at the Mohegan Sun arena is a good deal as far as sound quality- must have been an off night for the sound system.

If anyone has any concerns about rooms- for about a 1/2 drive north you could stay in Misquamicut Beach, Rhode Island.

When Toad's Place reopens in August, Jimmy should be there. Has anyone seen him in an intimate setting, such as a club?

...interesting post. Like it or not, the northeast has a better selection of places to play- and I'm sure the travel time between cities is a plus for JB and the band. Madison Square Garden, Great Woods, Mohegan Sun, Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, - why WOULDN"T he go back year after year? The ...

I haven't seen this much excitement since I stirred up the pot with you, Schoolgirl!! High price or not, it's a good time. Jimmy sounds good, the band (and all of their 6 chords lol) sound good, and the fans turn an ordinary parking lot into an oasis of fun. Some go to drink too much, others go for ...

Section 105, Row 3 - Had front row for Fenway, so I don't really care where I am for this show! (Also picked up some Police tickets for Giants Stadium-woohoo!) Booked a room at Red Roof Inn about 5 minutes from the stadium.

Are the lots for Gillette really opening that late for the shows?

I've made the drive a few times. Once from Connecticut, and the other two from Miami and Fort Lauderdale (the other times I took the flight in). It is simply breathtaking.
