I was hoping for a bit more Malian influence on this record, having travelled there earlier this year and falling in love with the sound of the local music! Buffet Hotel is a great song, and I enjoy a handful of others, but I'm still getting used to this one.

I was going to go to Bonnaroo anyway, but this truly excited me when I read about it on another forum! The set is billed as Ilo and the Coral Reefer Allstars. Check Bonnaroo.com for Ilo's story - the short of it is that Ilo is a West African artist that Jimmy discovered while travelling to the 'far ...

Many thanks! Great show, it was lots of fun, even from the "elevated lawn". I'll be adding this to my Stiletto 2 and keeping it for a long, long time.

Thank you for sharing! FINS TO THE LEFT!

Hey Cap'n P! Thanks for the heads up on Pearson. I'm driving up tomorrow to join you in Des Plaines, but I couldn't find out where to point my MapQuest browser. What a frustration, but this is nothing compared to what will happen when I run the dreaded "Sync Disc" on Wednesday morning. It'...

Hey man,
I didn't see anything about a disgruntled employee breaking stuff. I had probably left Virginia by that time. I can see it happening though, that place is still cooking pretty hot, might be hard for the staff to deal with that kind of pace and not have many days off.

PLEASE! I need to hear this song! Did anyone happen to capture it on RM or Sirius? Drop me a line, I'll take any format. Thanks! I'll also be happy to host it on my website. Contact me via email or AIM.

Haven't heard much about the Wisconsin openings, I do know there will be three Michigan openings before the end of the year, one within the next two months. As far as openings happening in old Chi-Chis, this is good stuff. There will be a Carrabbas opening in the same mall as the Pasadena, MD CIP st...

To be honest, nobody ever really knows when Buffett is going to show up, with very few exceptions. I'm thinking specifically of a night last year between the Chicago Tinley Park shows where Jimmy not only plugged our restaraunt twice, but let our management know that Jimmy might be stopping by. (I w...

I know this thread is quite old, but I took a look at the list, and I can say that nearly all of the locations are valid, but the dates, sadly, are all up in the air (obviously). Worst of all, the poor folks in Plantation, FL. Their staff has been trained up now for several months, I think they left...

The Vine is dead? No good. I'll leave this up for a couple of days, but if my bandwidth starts getting into critical levels, I may have to cut it off. Unless you all want to put up a collection to pay my fees. :wink: THIS IS NOT THE RADIO MARGARITAVILLE FEED. It was recorded at the venue, that's all...

I never got to meet him when he came and played the benefit show at the Cheeseburger in Paradise here in Downers Grove, but I watched him all night. When he did arrive, he met privately with the winners of the benefit auction that paid for the best table in the house, and chatted with them for about...

By the way... is this "the man from CIP" by any chance? He was in IL... Kyle is his name. http://www.buffettfan.net/gallery/albums/userpics/normal_CIP~0.jpg Pretty sure Kyle is our PR man for all the CIP restaraunts. He's a nice guy. I'm glad you enjoy our restaraunts, Tiki! Glad all you ...

Does anyone know where I can find out what kind of gear Buffett takes with him on the road? His guitars, mic selection, monitor equipment, band members gear?

I'm getting into sound reinforcement and am curious to see what kind of stuff the band takes on the road.

Is this a Radio Margaritaville recording?

Free MP3 for ya'll. Just found this old DAT. I don't like incomplete sets, but this tape was a fun show, and a killer acoustic version of Pirate. Thought I'd play with it a little and let you all enjoy this tune.

EDIT : taken down.

Enjoy!

Nah, he never has. But that hasn't stopped me in the past. Seriously, I wish he would just open up the doors to tapers. He's already giving it all away on the 'net. Let us hardcores do it up proper!

Hey ya'll! I was wondering if there are any high quality non-Radio Margaritaville tapes in circulation. I'm a big fan of Buffett's live shows, and I tape a good deal of shows myself, like Dave Matthews Band, Jason Mraz, Flecktones, etc. I taped a Buffett show last year at Alpine, and I still haven't...

Depending on how crowded it is, you might be able to grab a seat at the bar if one opens up. Otherwise there are cocktail servers that kinda mill around the lobby / bar area and offer to take orders. The managment tries to discourage too many people just standing around the bar (without seats), but ...

Yeah, at 7:30p on a friday night, I can just about guarantee you an hour and a half wait, at least. Last saturday, it was a 90min wait at 8:30. Our weekends are rockin'. But if want, you can stop in, drop a name (we don't take call-ins), and they'll give you an approximate wait time. You can drive t...

The food is great, the staff is really nice ( :wink: ), technically every fifth song is a Buffett tune, that's the way the jukebox is set up. On the weekends, it can get REALLY loud, so be prepared for that. On the weeknights, we're really really busy until around 10pm, but be warned, at 10:30 we ro...
