I vote Live in Anguilla

First of all, it sounded like an awesome show. Second, the "beach" show the day before I think is what Buffett is all about. And for everyone that complains about it being the same setlist, it was a great show with a lot of deep cuts: Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants, Banana Republics, Presents to Send You, Coast of Marseilles, Stranded on a Sandbar, That's What Living Is to Me, the premiere of Pirate Looks at Forty with Redemption Song, the premiere of In My Room, FDR in Trinidad, They Don't Dance Like Carmen, King of Somewhere Hot, Treat Her Like a Lady, Carnival World, That's My Story, Distantly in Love, Domino College.

We were lucky enough to get many of these songs on tour this year and we were lucky to get a great CD/DVD out of the two shows as well

self admitted homer . . . but it has got to be two sold out shows at Gillette Stadium . . . in all the years of doing this, Jimmy Buffett has never head lined a show with that many tickets sold . . . let alone headlining two of them in the same week. The two Gillette Shows were milestones in Jimmy's career and were, by far, the story of 2007.

I liked the story about JB surfing with the kids with Autism. He didn't get a top billing in it or anything but in light of Casey's story, it gets my vote.

Playing at Walter Reed for the injured troops was nice, too.

I dont know about 2007, but you know JB will be all over the news in 2008 supporting some liberal Democrat for President and badmouthing Republicans.

ANd my answer would be either the Anguilla concert or the casino in Biloxi. Yes Jimmy is making heaps of money off both, but they both also brought/are bringing lots of money into the local economy that could use it.

who said they were . . . . . . . . . they were the two biggest shows Jimmy ever headlined though . . . that is kind of big for a guy who has been around 4 + decades . . .
