Raleigh?

I was at the last show he had in Raleigh at the RBC Center, the Carter Finley July 4 show, and made all the Walnut Creek outdoor shows-except when it was 2 nights in a row, then I just went to 1. I also have been to last year's Charlotte show, and used to see him at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte (th...

My take on the show.

I was there last night and did not enjoy this show as much as the many I've seen before-and I go back to 1975. I have been thinking about why, and I don't have a good answer. The weather was bad: cold windy and rainy-but that is always a risk outside. I saw him in Carter Finley stadium and it rained...

OK....here is speculation for you

OK....here is speculation for you...... Sunday night in Charlotte? Uck. But I'll make it work. :cry: Friday night in Atlanta? Not a bad deal. Why are these the only Friday and Sunday stops on this leg of the tour? Maybe he is taking off in honor of the Memorial Day Weekend, which is Monday May 29. ...

No way

Wallace Wade would be an awful place for a show for all the reasons noted above. Not to mention when you eventually got out of the show and took the stinkin' shuttle bus back to downtown Durham (shudder!) you'd be lucky not to get killed-especially if you did not know how horrible it is-if you lived...

She did have a real cynical tone from the start....

But I too could not listen to that for 12 hours in a row either. She did get one thing right...Migration is a great song! :pirate: I have a cool recording of that song done at Key West several years ago, kind of a rag-tag version but not all done up. He likes Robert's steel drum intro so much he say...

That is an excellent question...

What on earth would he go to Myrtle Beach via Sumter for? Airport at MB could handle whatever he flew, I'm sure. Says he'll be back in the fall.....maybe on a Gamecock football weekend...to visit his pal Steve Spurrier. Spurrier did go to JB's Columbia show. Maybe he was golfing in Sumter with Darth...

Interesting.....

If JB meant "passing the torch" literally, as in Jake is his designated heir apparent, then count me out. :x I listened to some clips of Jake: http://www.hawaiianmusicstore.com/cds/cd314.html that were "nice" and no doubt he is talented. But I don't see Jake being the person to w...

Sports related trivia....

In the early 80's Jimmy worked one race on a NASCAR Winston Cup crew for, I think, Darrell Waltrip. It seems the race was a short track like Richmond, Bristol, Martinsville-somewhere like that. He was only the guy who stuck a stick out with a drink on it for the driver. I only know this because I wa...

Margaritaville brand footwear?! (no kidding...)

I have not been able to find a link to this merchandise anywhere.... But in a color Belks circular I got from the (Friday, I think) Fayetteville (NC) paper there is a page in there says "New! at Belk" "Introducing new men's footwear that invokes the free spirit of fun and adventure fo...

Concert from one who was there...

I was at the show last night, and as long time Buffett fan, I enjoyed it. I first saw him when I was a high school student in South Carolina amd JB was the backup act for the Eagles at the old Carolina Coliseum. I've seen him many many times since then. I had seats for this one about 6 rows about th...

What in the world are you reading?

Folks, I thought this was a great review with a little humor thrown in. Did she make a joke at Jimmy's expense about his $$$? So what? Do we care? NO! Has he ever made a joke about the same? Yes!

Me too

I was there, but can't find a RM copy of the 2004 show anywhere.

I'll be happy to do a trade with anyone on this show (and the 2004 Raleigh show). I have several different prior shows.

Just let me know. :D
