I wish that he demanded to play Molson Amphitheatre every year. :lol: :wink:

George Strait in June, Kenny Chesney in July, and Jimmy Buffett in August... Looks like a Great Summer!!!

WHO CARES. what does all this matter to us fans. All we want is good music, a great time at the concert, and a nice hangover the next day.

The amount of money these venues make of JB, they should be faced with stringent rules.

once again, does anyone really care about this stuff.
I found it interesting... But not nearly as interesting as your little temper tantrum... :lol: :lol:

I finaly had a chance to read the link!

I see nothing over the top! There is nothing crazy that they are asking for. You hear the funniest stories about rock stars saying "I want a bowl of only the red M & M's in my dressing room" It seems that Jimmy and the Reffers requests are rather tame they just wated food and drink.

No big news here!

To some, Buffett is "holier than thou" and anything that's even remotely considered criticism is frowned upon. This thread and the one about the rumored book that paints him in a less than favorable light are prime examples.

Actually I thought this was not a bad contract. Oh no, so they made sure there was a lot of food. Remember this tour has something like 80 people working for it. Lot of mouths to feed.
I thought it was pretty cleverly worded. Did you notice that they had at the begin it said 10 vegetarians, x amount of meat eaters, and x amount of SEAFOOD LOVERS. Also the part that says "LAST BUT NOT LEAST ONE BOX OF SNICKERS BARS." Plus there is always a please in there after everything.

did you read the Rolling STones? They have to have a pool table, and pinball machines and all this other stuff. J-Lo requires everything to be white, including the couches...
Jimmys is nothing more than you would expect for a band of 13, with full stage crew.
I love the Corona part, man that would be great fun.
and the rum is for all your good vices...

I thought it was interesting reading. A more interesting thread might be, "What would you have in your rider if you were a rock star?"
