The Margaritavision Special Announcement that was recorded with Walter Cronkite aired during the show. Peter Mayer sang lead on the song “Rocky Raccoon” (last played on October 13, 2001 in East Hampton NY). The show ended with Jimmy doing an acoustic version of “Tin Cup Chalice“.
Cincinnati.com has a review of the show: “‘Summerzcool’ at Riverbend for Jimmy Buffett” and Photos
“Welcome to the August session of ‘Summerzcool,’ Cincinnati-style,” Buffett shouted, before doing some arithmetic about the history of his shows in town. “Twenty-two years, 42 shows, 700,000 people later, we’re still the clunkers you can’t turn in.”
Buffett, 62, is typically Cincinnati-referential at his Riverbend shows, but at this one he was even more so. He repeatedly mentioned his “coming here for 22 years.” In the song “Manana,” he changed the line about “hanging out in a marina when Steve Martin called” to “hanging out in Mount Adams when Bronson Arroyo called.”
