Re: Don't Stop The Carnival

I think that the music he wrote for the musical is some of his best work. He clearly had an amazing understanding of the characters and for me he really brought them to life.

Re: Las Vegas 2017

I hope every show ends with BEG. That is the best encore ever! Definitely would make the whole concert experience for me. And as long as he continues to honor people who have passed away, I think he should bring back "Purple Rain" in honor of Prince.

Re: I am not feeling it

The responses are kind of funny. You assume I listen to the concerts, watch RM TV or care about bootlegs. I don't. How many different versions of the same songs do you really need to listen to? But the point of my post was that yes, I think it is lame to have the same tour name. Personally, every ye...

I am not feeling it

The lack of a new tour name is bothering me. Considering that I have only been to 1 show in the past 13 years, I know how strange that must sound. I cannot explain it. Maybe it was seeing something about how CILCIA is turning 40. Or seeing JB in that add in the ugliest shirt ever. Suddenly, all of t...

Re: 'Tis the SeaSon

I bought the album on Sunday. My kids absolutely love Christmas Island and we all had very high hopes for this album. We gave the album a quick listen. Not a single song caught our attention. I will give it a second and a third chance, but my initial impression is that this album nothing more than a...

Re: Barclay Center December 9th 2016? W/ James Taylor?

There is no doubt in my mind that Jimmy and James will perform "Mexico" together. I saw them do that a number of years ago at a charity show that was done at MSG. To me their performance highlighted the difference between the two of them. JB brought a certain level of energy and excitement...

Re: Barclay Center December 9th 2016? W/ James Taylor?

They are giving away tickets every hour on The Fan during Boomer and Carton. I got to think that this means there are plenty of tickets left. My wife was looking into them the other day and I told her not to waste her time. No chance I would go to this show.

Re: wantagh / Jones Beach concert THE DRIZZLING s***

This is a little off topic. I went to the Margaritaville restaurant in the Bahamas a few months back. I was there for about 2.5 hours. Drank and had a decent time. But one problem I had was that they played barely any Buffett. They told me "corporate" picks the songs. Some say be happy he ...

Re: In Todays New York Post

First, I am happy to see that someone else on this board reads The Post. Second, since Manhattan is an Island, I guess you could say that an M'Ville fits, but now I think the franchise is really going out of their way to be a 100% tourist trap. NYC is the exact opposite of what Margaritaville repres...

Re: Disappointed :(

I just got back from a 7 day vacation down at the Atlantis Resort in Nassau Bahamas. The new Margaritaville Restaurant is across the street. The food is mediocre and the place does not have the feel of the places in Key West or New Orleans. But they do have tire swings, a shark fin pool and an amazi...

My parakeet!

Far Side of The World was just playing. I am a huge fan of the line "living out my second chance." My 12 year old daughter was next to me and just after the line was sung I asked her what he said. She answered correctly. Then I asked her where the line came from and she said "when he ...

Re: Looky at what I done found...

I believe Jimmy once said "church of buffett - good cords". I also thought that I read they were taken down because someone (maybe a lawyer or two?) did not like them being available. Either way solid find. Great timing for me as I am starting to learn how to play the ukulele. Not sure if ...

Hard to imagine that I am not at Great Woods today/tonight. Wife and kids were on board for a total blow out, but I decided against it. Call it growing older and up. I do need to say thank you to Jimmy for allowing me to shed a tear or two without the need to travel. Very cool that he does that. It ...

Re: JIMMY >> 12/31 Rockin' Eve ABC

While technically Brooklyn is part of New York City, anyone who is not familiar with the area should understand that this venue is not on the island of Manhattan (NYC to most people). The Barclays Center is on Long Island, in Brooklyn. While Brooklyn has seen a boom in the past few years and has cha...

Re: JIMMY >> 12/31 Rockin' Eve ABC

This is going to be interesting. I am sure that he is getting a boatload of money for this show. Which makes me think that ticket prices may not be cheap. For the millennium show I remember reading about how people who bought the expensive tickets were upset because the show did not sell out and pri...

Re: Interesting. I wondery why?

If 61,000 people entered the KW contest, you can bet that at least half of the entries were people entering twice. (I had four separate entries.) So knock that number down to 30,500 "hard" entries. And even that number can probably be reduced. If any other major act had done the same type ...
