Opening Songs

Post by Zanzibar »

What song (s) do you think would be good for Jimmy to play to open up each concert on the 2006 Tour? :D :wink:

I always thought Southern Cross and Boat Drinks would be a good way to start up the concert 8)
I Wanna go back down and get high by the sea there...

I think "Fins" would be a great song to start with, why not mix it up and play it first, it would get everybody up on their feet in a hurry.

I have a live version of him doing "Come on In" and he does it so well. That's a good choice!

And way too many things I can’t forget
What time does church begin? Tell the priest I’m checking in
I want to cleanse my soul so I can do it again and again and again and again

I think "I Love the Now" would be a good opener. Also, as someone else said the other day, Mac starting 5:00 Somewhere and when it gets to "What would Jimmy Buffett do," JB and the band come out from backstage.

That'd be really good too. I hadn't thought about it.

I don't think I'd like this for every show, but for one show, it'd be a great surprise!! :D :D

i must say, i never was a fan of piece of work...especially as the opener. I think boat drinks would be a great opener, but my vote has to be for Migration
Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way

I loved Great Heart as an opener, but that's been done too recently.

Also loved Only Time Will Tell.

Gotta be a song that makes people *move*! :D

I've always thought this, too... people would get so psyched if JB walked out on stage and heard the "Jaws" theme starting up and the big shark Bruce coming out.
Wishin' every month of the year could be June
