I think Jimmy should play Bama Breeze every concert. He does have alot of 20ish fans that do appreciate all his music, but feel connected to the Bama Breeze song because it's new. Now, I can't stand seeing young annoying kids drunk out of their heads that go only for the party and don't know anythi...

I think I am done. J immy, you got $450 of mine for St. Louis and Chicago this year. I need that money a lot more (A LOT MORE!) than you do. When I think about it, the $300 we spent for the Chicago tix would have been better spent on a weekend up North or on a really kick ass dinner with a bottle of...

] I disagree, very strongly. True story - he was playing "Far Side of the World" in St. Louis when a frat rat dressed in a grass skirt and coconut bra seated behind me talked through the song and ended his very loud converstaion with "When do you think he is gonna play 'Bama Breeze'&...

Muskegon State Park

Jimmy, just come play Muskegon State Park in mid September. It's the best weather of the year and we have 5 miles of undeveloped dunes along the sunset side of Lake Michigan. Also, I promise to take you fly fishing for salmon the next day on the best free flowing stream east of the Rockies - the Per...

When I heard the "this won't be a parrothead show" line, I was looking forward to Newport. After going to the show, let's just say when I hear a line like that again I'll take it with a grain of salt. It's almost as if he's going through the motions and just cashing paychecks now. Changin...

I guess if he was ever going to break the SYKBH mold for one show, Newport was going 2 be that gig - especially after he said so! Newport & Hong Kong - 2 smaller venue shows in 2008 that I initially was kicking myself for not going. Until I saw the set lists and realized that I could have heard ...

Newport Not What Was Promised

When I heard that Jimmy Buffett was going to play the Newport Folk Festival and he was promising a "non parrothead" setlist, I was really disappointed I couldn't go. When the set list turned out to be a slightly condensed version of the latest tour, which I'd already seen in St. Louis and ...

IN MICHIGAN

I know where he has stayed in the Detroit area. My ex wife used to work there. Wont say where it is. Nobody bothered Jimmy the few times he was in the lobby. However, there was a guest who caused quite a stir. The hotel is a place where the elderly "ladies who lunch" would hang out in the ...

It's not so much the airlines, but the fuel companies for raising their prices. :evil: It IS the airlines. I can stomach some of their ridiculous prices IF they knew what the hell customer service was. But they treat their passengers like CATTLE, their employees stage their friggin' SICK-OUTS every...

Wow. An extra $80 so Northwest can: Cancel for no reason my flight from Grand Rapids to Detroit in January, costing us an entire day of our 5 day trip to Florida. Not have enough baggage handlers on duty and lose my bags, like they did when I returned from Florida in January Not have enough ground c...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, I wonder if a "Pepsi challenge" type blind comparison was done, how many people could actually tell the difference between the two. I don't mind either one, but gotta have a lime. Without the lime, to me, neither one is very drinkable. I love...

Interesting thread. My favorite Jimmy songs are A Salty Piece of Land, Cowboy in the Jungle, Wino and I Know, Last Mango in Paris, Wondering Where the Lions Are (I think Jimmy's version is better than the original)... So many of Jimmy's songs are about reflection, wistfulness, getting away from it a...

Banditto, Please commend the Security staff. They did an astounding job. There were far more idiot drunks at the Saturday show than I've ever seen COMBINED in the 10 years I have been going to Jimmy Buffett shows. Security dealt with them brilliantly.

Anguilla. It was what Jimmy's music is about. If he does it again - go. We spent $600 for two tix to go to Toyota Park. 1 night in a hotel close to the show, gas to & from Michigan and meals. Anguilla was 4 times that amount but worth it beyond any comparison. Biggest regret in 2008 - passing on...

2009

He clearly said during the Saturday night Toyota Park show that TAhiti would be sometime next year

Sorry, kids.

The good news is that if it is late 2009 we may be able to swing it. :D

Who do I send my $1.00 check for betting wrong that it would be 11/29/08 :wink:
