Waikiki Shell is on my list and a show in Seattle would be nice, as would London.

It is always fun to see Jimmy in New Orleans too.

In the last year I have seen him twice in New Orleans Very fun

That was the best so far but how about an intimate show on the beach at the Margaritaville Hotel in Pensacola or at the Whale's Tail in Miramar Beach?

oohhhh Pensacola would be NICE!! How convenient to stay at the hotel and just walk out on the beach for a show with a small crowd. I'll bet the Lulu's show last summer was very special too.

I think one of the reasons the Gulf Shores show was so special was the convenience of being able to get the VIP passes. That was such a comfort for us older folks. That...and the setting, the cause or should that be purpose?, the size, the organization, and it was FREE. what a great deal it was.

WHAT a day. What a setlist!! What a guy.

I believe for the Anguilla shows there were lots of spectators enjoying the concerts from the comfort of their own vessels but I'm sure there's similar venues.

I haven't been to a show in almost 8 years, but I can tell you that when I do eventually get to one it will be at Lakewood (or whatever the place is called now) in Georgia. There is a reason that Georgia concerts were included on Feeding Frenzy and You Had To Be There. I think that it is home to one of the oldest and largest Parrothead clubs in the country too.

I've been to other shows on the East Coast, and I will tell you this: From what I saw, every tailgate (especially Great Woods) was filled with partyheads not parrotheads. Imagine a concert with the Great Woods tailgate but where every person knew more than SYKBH and where you get evil looks if you are playing anything other than Buffett on your car's speakers.

My favorite quote from someone at a show I went to at GW when I asked him why he was blasting some some top 40 music for all his friends to hear instead of Buffett was "Why would I play Buffett, I will be hearing it all night at the concert."

As for all of the other "dream" places like St. Barts...., well I don't think that those are the places you are asking about.

I usually don't listen to the artist I'm about to see before the concert. Partially for the reason you mentioned above but also because it makes it difficult for me to remember what they played after the concert.

As for the "dream" places, I sincerely hope those are the types of venues he chooses to play more often as he eases further into his senior years.

It doesn't get any better than Bristow!!!!!!!!!

Wow, PWOC* is a dangerous thing.........

Yeah, I know, but it just seems too big and too much. Plus I don't think I could start tailgating one full day before the concert. But they do raise good money for charity.

Everyone has to do Frisco at least once!
Not too big when you have the 8 seater golf mobile.

Sometimes I'll follow that theory, but if it's an artist with a MAJOR catalog, I'll pull out some faves that we're most likely NOT gonna hear at the show. Which works well and EASILY I'M AFRAID for a Buffett show.

jimmy should do a show in Los Angeles, CA at the STAPLES Center.

My backyard with 10 or 12 of my closest parrothead friends.

I agree!! What a special day and weekend!!

I would love to see Jimmy in London. I agree with Pam that Anguilla and St. Barts would be a great place. I would also like to go to Great Woods, Cincy, Jones Beach, Key West, and Red Rocks!

Loved the Waikiki Shell, and Paris!!

A basketball arena is a must see venue? Whatever floats your boat.

Anguilla - 1 time
Great Woods - 6 times
Cincy - 2 times
Jones Beach - 16 times
Key West - 2 times
Waikiki Shell - 2 times (plus 1 time at Duke's when he walked out on the beach and sang Margaritaville with Henry Kapono)
Paris - 1 time

London, St. Barts and Red Rocks - 0 times

For me I don't see how it will ever get better than St Barts (although I'd be all over an Anguilla repeat) It's some of the reason I haven't gone back there (even though I planned to and cancelled) I don't see how a subsequent visit there would ever be the same.

Pam, the subsequent visit made me thirst for more of St Barth but your right that 1st trip to St Barth was nothing more than amazing.

I would take another Caribbean destination venue also. How about simply a beach somewhere with Jimmy and a guitar.

Put-in-Bay,Ohio .......or a dive bar in the Caribbean.

Best places so far: 1st Paris concert at New Morning and the opening of Margaritaville Las Vegas with the pool filled in with sand to make a big beach in Jan.

After the posts from last night I just added Stephen Talkhouse to my list. Seems more do-able and I think as time goes on this is the kind of place you're most likely to see him.

Even though I've lived on LI since I was 9 years old, last night was the first time I had ever been to the Talkhouse. If it was closer I'd go back tonight to see Marcia Ball but the round trip is 180 miles.
