The Tennessean has a review of the show: “Jimmy Buffett brings some welcome sunshine to Nashville”
The carefree rocker and a surprisingly packed house of “Parrotheads” braved the historic flooding of Middle Tennessee for an unflappably fun show at Bridgestone Arena, mere blocks from an overflowing Cumberland River.
“We’re a lot more comforting in a natural disaster than an insurance company, I’ll tell you that much,” Buffett told the crowd early into his set. “I know you’d find a way (here),” he added. “Parrotheads find their way around obstacles.”
“Needless to say, I owe a lot to this town,” Buffett said. “I’ve had two or three successful careers here, and two or three not-so-successful careers here. All in all, it’s worked out pretty (darn) well, thank you very much.”
