If Jimmy came up to you and said, " Pick a concert opener for the rest of the summer, but it has to be one that has been an opener from the last 7 years", which would you pick?

Concert Opening Song?

Post by Burny Charles »

I vote for CCOP, of course it was the first song I heard live, but then what would they do with the video? A close second for me is OPH with a long intro, like they used to do.

Isn't "Great Heart" the openning song listed on the Tiki Time Tour Set List? I think it is. My pick would be "Love and Luck". I love that dang song live!!!!

They're all great songs, but I went with "Great Heart." Like somebody mentioned earlier, it's the first live Buffett song I heard, so that's my pick.

Opener

Post by Seaplane1978 »

I think a great opener would be OPH with Robert opening the song like they did in the Live By The Bay video.

Unfortunately I won't vote because Jimmy's already
been to my home town.

He opened with Great Heart in Denver - It was an
excellent choice.

My choice would be "barometer soup". I think that would be a great song to open with.

This one was HARD. They are all GREAT openers. Only Time Will Tell is FABULOUS. Hot Hot Hot was INCREDIBLE. OPH is UNBELIEVEABLE. LageAi nom Ai is AWSOME. Great Heart I LOVE. They are all great, but I chose Kinja. 8)
and Jimmy theres still so much to be done...

I thought he opened with stars on the water a few years back? That is an awesome first song, though I voted for Great Heart. I also think that is a great song to get the crowd going.
yesterday's over my shoulder and I can't look back for too long there's just to much to see waiting in front of me and I know that I just can't go wrong!!!!
