Re: Manassas Update

It's too bad. I'm originally from the Baltimore-Washington area. My first Buffett show was at Merriweather Post Pavillion in about 1985. I saw Jimmy there many times. He stopped playing at Merriweather at some point. I have a vague recollection that it had something to do with curfews, but I could b...

Technical Problems in Chicago

Listened to the show on RM. Major technical problems at the end. Lost Jimmy on vocals in the middle of "Fins." His microphone went out. Band limped through the rest of the song, which became an instrumental with Nadirah helping out on a few vocals. The band did a very odd version of "...

Yes, I will still go. The concert still is about the concert for me.

I have always interpreted the song as about Cap'n Tony.

Re: Camden Parking, Letter I wrote to Buffett copy & send - also

It seems like 2011 has sadly become the "Year of the Parking Lot Issues" for the Buffett Faithful..... :( I have tickets to see JB at Jiffy Lube Live, Bristow, VA in late August (our 6th straight year there). My beef all along has been that their new "no tailgating" policy was n...

Re: This Just Occurred to Me . . .

I think Jimmy will play another 10 years, not on the concert road, but at his own establishments, which are popping up everywhere. Something like $100.00 per person, two hours with Jimmy Buffett. Same concept he does now, maybe two nights at each spot with a downsized Reefer Band. Always hope with ...

Re: This Is Historic...All Right, Maybe Not Historic, But...

It's called a resonator and they have a very distinctive sound. It looks like a "National" to me. The silver disks towards the fretboard probably makes it a Model D in walnut. (Reefdiver is right that it is a type of resonator or Reso-Phonic body) Ok after being a guitar tech for 30 odd y...

Re: This Just Occurred to Me . . .

That is a thing I thought many times. I happen to know some old musicians. They are addicted to the stage, the music and the Super Trooper lights shining on them. Maybe they cut back on numers of shows a year, and maybe the length of set. But they will always seek the stage. And I honestly think Ji...

Re: This Is Historic

Awesome show with great set list. Best night I've had since GW. I've been going to Buffett shows since 1985. I wasn't even at this show. I listened to it on RM. In my opinion, this is one of the best Buffett shows I've ever heard. There is no chance this guy is going to retire. 8) Fins Up 8) Cap'n ...
