Jimmy Buffett performed on Wednesday July 3rd for the opening of the new Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City, LA.

From the Shreveporttimes.com: The Big Show: Jimmy Buffett’s sold out show at Margaritaville’s Paradise Theater drew crowds from across the region and even well outside the state. No matter the cost, people were looking for fun.
Buffett appeared from backstage with a casual gait, dressed in a bright blue T-shirt and yellow shorts. He kicked off his flip-flops almost as soon as he was on stage.
He began by remembering a show he played in Monroe in 1982, which cost his fans a whole $8 to see. “Tonight is free,” Buffett said.
Buffett kicked off his show with “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” the title track from his breakthrough 1977 record, which remains the best selling of his career. It was just the mellow kind of tune to warm up an audience eager for the hits.
I watched Buffett peel off a green-yellow-and-red wristband and hand it directly to a baby being thrust up at the stage. That’s some souvenir for a child who, like I did out on my grandparents’ boats, will likely grow up with the man’s songs.
“Thank you for raising your children on this music,” Buffett said. “That makes my job easier.”
