I would like this idea a lot better if it meant 4 less songs from SYKBH at every show.

yeah, I didn't include the staple SYKBH in these, I figure they're a given but I definitely agree with you.

Who would be really p*** off if they went to "their" show, and the featured album was SYKBH?

:lol: or maybe even worse LTC :o
there are some good songs but we've heard enough of them over the last 2 tours :-?

It's a great idea as long as we get to dust off some some classics that have been rarely played in recent years

Since he's got way more albums than tour stops, I have to think that the more recent albums might not be on the table for this one.... (much as I'd like to hear FSOTW....)

That's a greatest hit(s) collection, not a proper album. Same for Meet Me in Margaritaville.

I'm not positive but I sure hope my choices wouldn't be limited only to the five albums listed in the poll.

That is my point...if he is going to highlight songs from an album, play them the way they were recorded on the album! :roll:

no Jah, I can think of great sets from White Sport Coat, 3/4 Time, Havana Daydreamin', Cocotel, Volcano, Barometer Soup, Banana Wind, and on and on.

Just thought I'd limit my post to these. :wink:

what would be your preference?

I think I would like to see A1A... although as already mentioned, as long as he is playing I'm ok with anything... even if it was all SYKBH, I'd be a little dissapointed, but I'd still have a great time....

Although I agree with the cutesy bit or Buffett hollering the lyrics for emphasis rather than singing them, I'd also surely hope he wouldn't perform the songs just as they are on the albums. There's enough "artists" out there doing that already. The reason I attend concerts to start with is to hear songs performed live, not note for note as they appear on the records.
