2011 Back to the Beginning Tour

Post by tryin' to reason »

S'pose Jimmy were to do a retrospective tour next year that only included pre-1990 songs (arbitrary date),
and NOT the SYKBY-type stuff - Schoolboy Heart, CILCIA, Volcano, CBIP, Come Monday, Margaritaville, SOASOAS or Fins !! (OPH is OK to leave in as the encore, 'cuz it's my favorite)

That would address all the pholks who are constantly asking that Jimmy highlight his lesser-known songs and get back to his roots.

Just a thought...

Good thought...... :pirate:

i agree maybe it should be pre 1980 music that would be back to the beginning

It'd be great if Buffett did a tour where he focuses more on songs he rarely plays rather than another tour where 80% of the set list is the same as he's been doing on every tour for the past 25 years. It doesn't need to be strictly pre-1990 stuff. I'd like to see him mix it up with quality rarities from any of his albums, as long as he mixes it up with old and new.

I kinda like what Maiden is doing (as I understand it).....one year they do the current stuff, the next they do a throwback tour based on an older album.
