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!!

....might be taking a roadtrip with the Mrs. out to Chicago that week. Hmmmmm......

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...

What a wonderful day- from tailgating to the end of the show!!!

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?

....ouch. Good jab, green1- Yup- we are a bit spoiled when it comes to traveling on I-95, 91 or the Merrit Pky/Wilbur Cross (Rte. 15).

...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?

If Jimmy plays Gillete Stadium, does that rule out Great Woods?

In Key West: The El Patio Motel if they want some quiet (really nice mom and pop place)- If they just want a room with a bed in the middle of the craziness of Duval- go with the Southern Cross Hotel. Three bars to hit: Capt. Tony's, Green Parrot, and "The Smallest Bar in Key West"-blink do...

Happy New Year! Due to a last minute change in plans, I never made it to St. Thomas , but I settled on Key West!!!! . God Bless America!!!!

...good luck waiting. I'm sure some "warm-up" dates will be posted in the new year, in warm places.

Anyone going to Key West during the next few weeks? I finally got a good deal for a flight to Miami, then driving across the bridges. Heading down from the 26th to the 29th....

...never heard of 'em. It's tough to see a Buffett cover band when the weather is cold (even though it's 55 degrees in CT today).

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. I'll never get over it- the bonus is what's waiting for you once you get into Key West. What a happy place year 'round. Don't kn...
