I cant pick one I like them all...........(been going since 1984) songs I know by heart......

None of the above:

I can do without Margaritaville and Cheeseburger; but for many of the part-time fans at the venues, those are the most important songs of the concert.

If I had to cut one it would be Brown Eyed Girl since I can generally do without cover songs.

Definitely BEG. Am also tired of hearing it on the "live" CDs. Would prefer to hear Jimmy's own songs.

5 o'clock gets the boot. I've never had a real desire to listen to Alan Jackson and the song never really hit it off with me.

On another note, does anyone dislike how energized and cheery CILCIA has become? I love the original with a more mellow feel. Now with the emphasis on certain words and reefers chiming in a ton it loses that feel. Maybe i'm in the minority?

I would have to go with cheeseburger from that list, maybe replace with Mango, Hurrican Season or an Acoustic African Friend would be my wish for this tour.

CIP would be for me.

I love CIP in concert. It gets skipped at home though. At the shows, I have grown quite tired of 5:00. It's a shame because I really liked that song when it was new.

I voted for Pirate, and here's why. Pirate is a great ballad and a great song, but Jimmy has many, many, many ballads that are just as phenominal, if not more. While I understand Pirate "captures the essence" of Jimmy more than anything else, I probably wouldn't miss it from the setlist if it made room for some of Jimmy's other incredible ballads.

Sure, I probably wouldn't miss CIP, or BEG, or Volcano (which isn't played necessarily at every show) if they were booted permanently.

I know y'all are gonna think I'm absolutely freakin' off my rocker, but if you didn't know that already, then you haven't been paying attention.

You have a rocker? I didn't think you were that old.

from that list its gotta be brown eyed girl!!im so sick of that song not to mention its a cover.it doesnt need to be played every single show and tour. play one of your own songs jimmy that the crowd goes nuts over like fruitcakes instead of somebody elses song.

For me none of those would be on my list of must go first but if I had to choose and it was only one of these then 5:00 Somewhere.

I think I'd rather see one of these go than any in the poll:

Glory Days
Reggabilly Hill
Everybody's on the phone
On the road again
Elvis Presley Blues

Just a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing you don't really like the latest album.

BEG (and any other cover songs)

Mottola-Buffett · Post by **Mottola-Buffett** » February 8, 2008 11:48 am

M'ville gets my vote for the simple fact that every non-Buffett friend I have only knows Jimmy by that song... "Oh, isn't he that 'Margaritaville' guy?" It drives me nuts!
And by the way, he HAS to sing BEG because I swear he's singing it to me

Bob Roberts 1468 · Post by **Bob Roberts 1468** » February 8, 2008 12:09 pm

for me, it's BEG - never really liked the cover and not sure why it's a standard..

CIP. Jimmy, please retire this song permanently. There are dozens of songs you could pick from that I'd rather hear than this one.
