Please Sign My Petition To Bring Second Encores Back

Post by YNONIN0 »

I have created a petition to bring back variable second encores. If you, like me, wish that the shows ended with something other than "Lovely Cruise" every time, I would appreciate your signature:

https://www.change.org/p/jimmy-buffett- ... ely-cruise

If you are cool with the "Lovely Cruise" ending, I respect your opinion. But I cannot in good conscience allow this to go forward without doing something. It's a real loss to society.

I do applaud your effort. The second "impromptu" encore was always one of my favorite things about the show. Especially because they are usually a gem and acoustic. For me, Jimmy solo on acoustic is the best.

I hate to be a Debbie downer but this petition maybe a little late into the tour.

I have not let myself watch too many of the Mville TV shows because I want it to be somewhat fresh when I go to Hershey park next week. I'm also hopeful that the setlist may differ with Alan Jackson being there and ZBB playing the next night (prob won't cover their songs). I do like lovely cruise though...

Good luck and fins up!

For sure. I noticed your profile picture on the change site and it's a picture with Jimmy himself.

What was it like meeting him?

I'm sure he will return to the old format next year. Since I'm only going to make it to one show this year I liked the new ending. Ties in well with the tour theme. As I said I'm sure he will return to form next year.

I've met him a couple of times, both of them quite costly. ($1k one time and $1.5k another time) Donations to charity and political donations. Both times it was basically just a photo op, you get maybe 30 seconds to talk to him. Out of necessity, Charleston keeps the line moving. They tell you that there will be no autographs, etc. etc. Something I would probably do again, but only assuming it comes with other stuff (VIP seating, etc. etc.).

I think you're probably right about this. (I hope so at least!)

Interestingly, I don't care so much about the covers. But I've heard that others really do :/

Positive energy on this; I just want the "religious" moments at the end back.
