How Many More JB Concerts Will You Attend?

Bfan53again · Post by **Bfan53again** » May 13, 2011 6:37 am

At age 58 I must admit that I don't look forward to attending JB concerts as much as I used to. I kind of felt this last year and realize that the same thought is stronger this year.

For me, it's more sharing pre-concert time with friends now than the music. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy JB's shows, but I can't argue the point that if you've seen one, well, you've pretty much seen it all.....

How do you feel?

I started kinda late in life, so the concerts are still special to me. That and the people I only get to see at Buffett concerts.

Ditto, I'm only on my 6th year.

My 8th year. I'm going to go to as many as I can before JB "retires."

Too many friends that I only see during concert season. I'll go as long as I can, as much as I can.

And when he does retire, I'll just have to find ways to see those friends somewhere else.

I don't spend much time thinking that way about anything. I go. Then, one day, I won't.

Seen him twice so far this year, maybe 2 more times. Vegas & Alpine, we will go as long as he is out there. Love the parties, love the shows....

This is a big "Buffett" year for us (3 shows). I'm thinking we will probably try to go to at least 1 a year until he retires. Love the tailgates and hanging out with new and old friends. Good times!

in the spirit of the original question: probably not ever going to touch the 4-5/ year range again. Last year was a shutout. On the other hand, as most folks have said, the pre-tailgate and pre-concert festivities are as much fun as ever, and situation permitting there are still a couple of the regular stops on the tour I'd like to make it back for

It's fun, so I go. When it stops being fun, I'll stop going.

Same here, this year will be shows number two and three.
Hope to see him a couple of times more before he 'retires', if he'll ever do this.
I plan to attend at least one show a year in the USA, prolly in a different place every year. Like this I get to see a little bit of your HUGE continent I hope.
Shows in Europe are a must go for me, whereever they may be. (London would be cool, haven't been there for ages...)
Plus a Florida vacation in November maybe

I have 2, possibly 3, more shows to see this year! I'll go to as many as we can afford to go to, because I get to see so many friends and hear such great music, in & outside the venue!

Snowparrot · Post by **Snowparrot** » May 13, 2011 2:50 pm

I try to get to one show, maybe two, every year. I've seen some interesting parts of the U.S. that I never would have seen without JB and the PHs.
I want to go to Paris, so he'd better not retire before I do!

Tampa was my 25th show.

With my Dad not feeling as well as he used to and my wife a Buffett hater (her only flaw), I see him way less than I used to. I'd still love to take in 1-2 a year if I could.

We'll keep going as long as he keeps playing!

I look forward to at least one show a year (usually Vegas).

Intensified crowd aversion is my biggest obstacle.

Panic attacks s***.
Panic attacks at Buffett concerts are just wrong, and s*** worse.
Fear of panic attacks at Buffett concerts s*** the most, and make me not want to go.
And unless you've ever experienced a panic attack, this sounds utterly ridiculous.

(s*** rhymes with duck)

That's why I'm so grateful for all of the opportunities to see the Coral Reefer shows about town.
