Which venue is the best
I am a long time Buffett fan and have seen him many times in California and Vegas. I am looking for a road trip this summer and want to find the best Jimmy Buffett venue. Please help? I want the complete Buffett experience. Pre parties, tail gates, concert, after parties. You know what I mean!

It's like asking what is better steak or lobster. All personal preference on what is the best. You might get a better idea by asking what venus you should avoid due to late parking lot openings etc.rbassmaster wrote:I am looking for a road trip this summer and want to find the best Jimmy Buffett venue.

Re: Which venue is the best
I was wondering about this myself, so I did a search and was surprised find that this question did not receive more responses. So, let me rephrase the question with a "final supper" kinda spin:
For those of you who have been to multiple venues, if you only could go to one more JB concert, where would you want it to be? And I mean of the venues you been to...obv. for a final concert I think we'd all pick some place like St. Bart's, no?!

Re: Which venue is the best
I have been to so many different venues, for Buffett and otherwise, and I have to say that Alpine Valley is my personal favorite. Every show there is an experience, not just a concert.
Plus, Buffett loves that venue as well. He has indicated several times that it is one of his favorites to play. The energy and vibe there is tough to match.

Obviously you have never seen Jimmy at a small venue or at an indoor venue because there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE.txaggirl91 wrote:No one venue is better than another....
Now I know this Joe down in Mexico.
He went there to work on his tan.
For years he's been plugged into blenders and songs.
They call him the Twelve Volt Man

Re: Which venue is the best
Well then...Personal preference for outdoor venues aside...Even though seeing Jimmy at a much larger outdoor venue like Jacob's Field, Fenway Park, or Wrigley Field seems much different experience than seeing him at a small amphitheater...There is definitely a huge difference between seeing him indoors and outdoors.txaggirl91 wrote:yes I have....TwelveVoltMan wrote:Obviously you have never seen Jimmy at a small venue or at an indoor venue because there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE.txaggirl91 wrote:No one venue is better than another....

I've never been there for a concert, but how can it get any better than Live By The Bay? Put me in a tube and color me happy.

Re: Which venue is the best
Experienced the show from the Ohio River behind Riverbend several times, when he use to do multiple shows. If you got the right spot you could see the big screens, which is not much different from the lawn anyway. Swimming from boat to boat getting jello shots and other assorted boat drinks. Even have a boat that will deliver pizza. Probably as close to "By the Bay" as you are gonna get. See pic.
As far as tailgates go, the lots open at 8 am at Cincinnati. Can't get much better than that. Personally, I haven't found any ampitheatre venue that is really any good for most concerts. Buffett works okay since the stage show generally isn't much (not like Pink Floyd or Rush for example).

Re: Which venue is the best
Nice pics. Are there any houseboat rentals on the river in Cincy?

I don't believe there are. Funny, I have lived here my whole life and have never heard of any so I would assume there aren't, but I wouldn't swear to it.
