Jimmy Buffett performs in Montauk,NY 9.12.08 Surfers Healing

Post by Cane Garden Bay »

Yesterday I was a volunteer at the Surfers Healing Event in Montauk, NY. It was a wonderful event, I got to talk with Mr. Buffett for about 40 minutes!! He was great to talk to. After the event we went to set up at the Second House Restaurant. Jimmy was performing that night, Hawaiian Ed opened up, then Nancy Atlas, then Jimmy, Mac & Russ Kunkel (on percussion) took the stage under the small Landshark tent, it was raining hard, but they were in great spirits, Jimmy was having a lot of rum onstage and was in rare form that evening. I was sitting about 4 feet away from him! I couldn't beleive it.
Here is the setlist, it's not in the correct order but here it is(i might have missed 1 or 2)

Wino & I Know
Why Don't we Get Drunk
Sitting Here in Limbo (Jimmy Cliff)
Banana Republics
Uncle John's Band
Margaritaville (with the lost verse)
Southern Cross
Fins
Come Monday
Pencil Thin Mustache
Jamaica Mistaka
It's a Crazy World (song by Mac)
Pirate Looks at 40
Son of a Son of a Sailor
The Weather is Here
Growing Older But Not Up
Heart of Gold
Changes in Latitudes
One Particular Harbor
Regabilly Hill

Great performance!! Jimmy talked a lot and told the story of a Margaritaville coming to Dubai! Attached are some photos I took last night, I'll post some more after I download them!!

I was one of the only ones sitting in front getting wet the whole time and at the end of the show Jimmy handed me the bottle of rum that he was drinking, he said "here's some rum to warm you up after all the rain". Great gift!!

AWESOME!!

A little hard to tell, but that looks like it might be Russ Kunkel on percussion.

It was 68F at the beach that day & 62F for the show, it was a little chilly but some Margaritas solved the warmth situation.

Not bad for an over-the-hill commercial sellout who plays too many songs from the yellow album and other artists...eh! :wink:
