Favorite part of the show?

Other than Jimmy what is your favorite part of a Buffett concert?

I think the guys on the stilts that get the crowd going are great. I always look for them. I can't say I have ever caught a t-shirt they shoot but I did catch a cheeseburger once. Depending on the venue the tailgate party is a close second.

THE TAILGATE PARTY!!!! :D :D :D hands down! :P

That and the moment in-between the end of the intro, and the second Jimmy takes the stage at the begining of the first song....OOHHH, SUCH AN ENERGY/ADRENALINE RUSH!!! :P :D :D :D

In Vegas, the pre party and the LV Parrothead Club party at Tommy Rockers (the best!) and the parties at the Key Largo.

I like the excitement right before Jimmy comes out....and you've got hundreds of beach balls floating all over the crowd and everybody is drunk and happy!

Wear Depends... I know some guys who did that at a Stones concert. They couldn't talk me into it though :o

Pirate Looks at 40 is my favorite part of just about every show. I just love to look around and see everyone with arms locked togehter swaying back and forth. It seems like for a few minutes, the whole world comes to a stop.

While I love pretty much every moment of a show, one of my favorite things is just the people watching--or should I say, Parrothead watching. I love looking at everyone's crazy garb and trying to spot the most outrageous and creative one. 8)

I think probably my favorite thing to do is cruise around the lot during the tailgate and see what crazy stuff everyone brings. I'm continually amazed by the pholks who bring in beaches, tiki bars, carnival games, kiddie pools, full-size couches, and all the other wacky things that make the Buffett tailgates like no other.

Someday I'll have a pickup truck or an RV and be able to drag all that fun stuff too. My Chevy Cavalier isn't exactly breaking any records in terms of cargo room! :D

best part

When Jimmy plays Fins I love to turn around and watch the thousands of "shark fins" swaying left to right. I don't think I look at the stage once. :lol:

I agree - Fins is just so great live. I also love the opening bars to One Particular Harbor. And of course I love the CILCIA video.

Oh and that parking lot scene can be kind of fun! :wink:

My favorite part is the walk from the parking lot to the venue.

It is like a great migration, everyone walking together towards what seems like Meca. Everyone is in a good mood and anticipation is in the air!

Even with all the delays getting in, I've never waited in line with a friendlier group of people.

And if you time it just right, just as you come through the gates you hear the first beats of Great Heart!
