Haven't heard the version (looking forward to buying the CD's), but I'm really excited about hearing Buffett's cover. I'm not sure you have to time the date of the concert right on the anniversary to show respect, or whether the anniversary had anything to do with him playing it (maybe he's just add...

I was a negative 9 years old on that date.

I got a light blue shirt with a tiki design on the left chest area that says underneath "Jimmy Buffett - Tiki Time Tour", on the back is a bunch of tiki stuff and underneath it says the tour stuff again...wish it had the dates. My first tour shirt as well...$30.

I started collecting this past year. Got a good sized lot off of ebay and have been fortunate enough to find some good ones at the local Goodwill ($1 a copy). I have: You Had To Be There Havana Daydreamin' A White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean Living & Dying In 3/4 Time A1A Coconut Telegraph ...

I think the tough part is finding shows that the people who do most of the trading don't already have. Its unfortunate that there are those that complain about being helped out, but thats the way the world is unfortunately. I've done b&p for a couple of shows from The Beach Is Open and it was a ...

If any of the above don't work out, I'd love a copy of the show (my first outdoor show). Or if anyone who gets a copy madhatter wants to trade the show on, let me know. Thanks.

I'll be tailgaiting with a group of 7-8. Driving a large red Suburban w/ NC State stuff on the back. Giant yellow/pink shark on the roof (no grey inflatable sharks in Charlotte, NC). Lots of tiki stuff around the Suburban and chowing down on Parker's BBQ from Wilson, NC. I'll be the guy in the grass...

Big Red is right, they started with 100 acts and Buffett wasn't included. Write-In votes didn't stand a chance. The list sucks.

Maybe he needed Harrison to crack the whip on another track.

Well, if fitting all the material is a problem, make a box set like the Beatles release. Or release a new DVD every 6 months or so for awhile. It really does baffle me that Buffett hasn't released one yet (or at least re-released some of the VHS material). He's got Tequlia, Shrimp, Restaraunts, Appa...

I doubt Jimmy will have his collaboration with Alan on there as its going to be on Alan's greatest hits II CD. It is nice to see Jimmy getting props from a lot of country musicians though. I think putting Jimmy on his "Under the Influence" CD was a nice compliment from Jackson.

Any chance anyone can put this up on the internet somewhere? Sucks b/c the CD isn't available in NC (as far as I've found) and I'd like to have the 2 songs.

The COBO site is as good as you're going to get for Buffett tabs and its a great site for it. Most of the tabs are accurate and there is a good number to choose from. Also good to meet another guitarist. You might also like http://www.harleyguitars.com . I bought a very nice parrot acoustic specific...

Also wouldn't be a bad idea to do this off half.com. If you got them that way, you could probably turn 6-7 new CD's into 12-13 used ones...

I'd be surprised if Jimmy were embarassed by the drug references. On a bootleg of his mom Peet's 80th Birthday (few years ago)...he's very open about telling funny stories about acid flashbacks and what not...and thats in front of his own mother and daugther.

If you aren't going with the box set (also my recommendation), I'd choose...

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
A1A
Floridays
You Had To Be There (2 CD's)

Great Finds! THANKS!

Go to the FTP zone on the left side of the page. There are real audio and mp3 formats for download. Its the perfect site for starting a collection. Just don't tell others about it!

Since this tour started up, I've found Great Heart. Love that song now!

I will say this though, for a quick Margarita, I really enjoy the Margaritaville Mixer. Gives it a really sweet taste (180 from "The Perfect Margarita" listed on his website...which I love too). As for the tequila. Its definitely not top shelf, but its not Aristrocrat either in my opinion....
