I have been going to Buffett shows since the late 70's and it amazes me how hard I have to work each year to get tickets. I remember when you could buy great seats a few weeks before the show. This ticket insanity has only been around since the early 90s. The ParrotHead clubs don't get as many ticke...

TheRecession Recess tour was the one that used all recycled props from past tours. It was a cool idea to see these items up on stage again. Does anyone else remember this tour!!

Nuttin' in NJ/NYC. Occassionally, on a Wack-zane-tastic Friday morning radio show you'll get Margaritaville, but they're always blowing horns and p*** me off. If it's out there, NJ/NY/Lehigh Valley, someone let me know. I hear Margaritaville on 101 CBS FM in NY occasionally. On 95.5 WPLJ the mornin...

Saw the movie tonight and loved it. The kids wanted to see Spy Kids 3D and had to be coaxed into this. The 8 yr old was a little restless in some scenes but the 11 year old loved it and can't wait until it comes out on DVD. Does anyone know where the movie was filmed? Did they actually shoot some of...

I've been a fan since the 70s. Always like Come Monday but never bought any Buffett albums. Then in 1977 while vacationing on a trip to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas I heard Margaritaville nonstop on the radio. It was EVERYWHERE that summer. Country stations, Rock, Top 40. I thought it was an OK so...

I am looking for a copy of the Camden show from 7/1. Have a few things to trade. Email me for a list. PFopma@aol.com. Thanks.

I think the CD will go platinum or mult-platinum. There is something on it for everyone. Enough SYKBH to please the casual fan and a few "must haves" for the Parrotheads. The fact that they changed the name to "Meet Me In Margaritaville" is a clue that they are going for a wide a...

I got that email about the focus group but couldn't make it on Monday. Congratulations!! Glad someone deserving of the tickets won them. I got lucky this year online and got 1 ticket in the 2nd row for Camden. It's been a long time since I sat that close for a Buffett show. The last time I sat that ...

<<Man I wish I had kept ticket stubs from the very first, but who knew it would turn into this?>> I'm with Jackson on this one - never thought I would be asked that question 25 years after my first concert!! I've seen at least one show a year for 25 years. I probably have seen Jimmy at the Garden St...

I've got an autographed copy of Where Is Joe Merchant that I got at a silent auction in Nashville several yeas ago. And I have a program from the East Hampton show from last October. Jimmy signed the program during intermission. I finally met him after being a fan for 25 years. That one is framed an...

Jackson and Josh - I really enjoyed reading the interview - some of those old stories about your days on the road are priceless. You brought back a lot of memories of all the Buffett shows I went to in the 80s. The first time I remember seeing the crowd dressing in "Parrothead" attire was ...

Freddyfishstick-thanks for the VK sale-hope you like-please let me know! I gotta ask you, Freddyfishstick was Jimmys "Monster" name or party name how did you hear of this?I can't remember-did he put it in a song? Too many tours-you'll have to fogive me! Legend has it that Jimmy played a f...

Josh,

The Vinyl Kings CD should be a fun addition to my summer listening - I'll be sure to let you know my thoughts on it!!

Pat

Josh - thanks for the background info! I orderd the Vinyl Kings CD - I listened to a few of the MP3s - looking forward to hearing the whole CD - must have been a fun project!! I've been a Rodney Crowell fan for a long time - he's my favorite singer/songwriter next to Jimmy - The Houston Kid was awes...

Hey Josh - welcome to BuffettNews!!

Hey Jackson can you ask the guys how the Vinyl Kings idea came about and what influence the Beatles had on each of them? I got a tape in the mail today from a friend who was at a Marty Stuart concert. Harry Stinson was listed as one of the band members. I was wondering if it's the same Harry Stinson...

I'm not sure how many but I've seen about one a year since 1977. Some years it's been 3-4 . I've never kept count - didn't know I had a reason to. Does anyone remember the show at Vernon Valley in NJ in the summer sitting on the side of the ski slope? I think the year was 81 or 82? That probably was...

This is killing me!!! I stayed at Outriggeer Waikiki a few years ago when I saw BUffett in Honolulu and had dinner at Duke's. I can picture everything that's going on while listening as if I were ther e. Talk about daydreamin…
