Hey Demerara, We were in 14 and 15, I am the big guy wearing the flag shirt. There were two empty seats next to us (8 & 9) and then there were two people in 10 and 11 who seemed to be sitting for most of the show. Beyond them I don't think I took note of anyone else. Did you go out for beer (or...

Hey, WE were in section 8, row X. What seats? We were seats 6 & 7.

Pittsburgh was my first time. What a great show! Some observations from a first-timer: 1) The traffic getting into and out of Burgettstown was horrible. Coming in around 4pm, it was lined up for a couple of miles. There was an accident on 22/30 after the show which also tied things up. 2) The tailga...

Just about to load up the car and hit the road. Should be Buffett-bound by 9:30am.

Next time I post a message here, I'll no longer be a Buffett virgin.

Ah, I envy you folks who are already partying! I won't be leaving until Thursday morning (and arriving early afternoon). Have a margarita or two for me, willya?

Me too -- demerara rum, of course!

Doesn't it go kinda flat if you pre-mix though?

Going to my first show in Pittsburgh on Thursday and I'm trying to decide what (adult) beverages to bring. I'm coming by car (a five hour drive from Canada) and stopping off at the hotel first. Any suggestions? I'm partial to rum, and tequila. I'd like something that's easy to transport, easy to mak...

The gates will be wide open no later than 2 pm. I should be well into my rum and tequila induced haze by then....

Thanks for the info -- and if I should trip over you in my own haze, I apologize in advance.

I notice the following on the Post Gazette Pavilion's website: Show time 8:00 pm Gates and Box office open at 7:00 pm Parking Lots open at 6:00 pm I've never been to the Pavilion before, so does anyone know if this parking lot time is a change from the usual time (I've seen people in this thread tal...

Hey now -- Smart Woman is one of my all-time favourite Buffett songs! Love that funky pseudo-reggae beat and catchy chorus. I like Love and Luck, but I wouldn't consider it a fair trade.

According to Billboard, Jimmy Buffett's former chart-topper "License To Chill" (Mailboat/RCA) climbs 4-3 despite a 13% drop to sales of 101,000 copies...

And the second single has only just now been released! Good news!

"Jimmy Buffett's former chart-topper "License To Chill" (Mailboat/RCA) climbs 4-3 despite a 13% drop to sales of 101,000 copies..." And the second single has only just been released! Back to the top, folks! http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000...

Trip Around The Sun is a beautiful song. I love the chorus, where Jimmy comes in first the first time around, then Martina the second time. More power to Jimmy if it does go straight to the top of the charts! LTC is chock full of radio friendly material and possible singles. I wouldn't be surprised ...

#1 bestseller, fiction
#1 bestseller, non-fiction
#1 album

Five people had #1 bestsellers for fiction AND non-fiction. Did Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Styron, Irving Wallace or Dr. Seuss ever have a #1 album (spoken word, I guess)? If not, our Jimmy is truly one of a kind!

Hilary Duff is doing a Who song? It's the end of the world as we know it. It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there. I understand she closes some of her shows with My Generation. Does she smash a guitar at the end of the song? :wink: Rest assured, though, that it's nowhere near a...

I'd pick just about anyone over The Who. I'm not knocking their talent. It's just something about both Rogert Daltrey and Pete Townsend that makes me want to SMACK them. :-? That's Townshend. As in not Buffet. :D Come to think of it, when I first saw the track list for LTC, I mistook Anything, Anyt...

I'm with ya! But... the problem I have is that I tend to start it on Track 5 and run it from there. I don't even know what Tracks 2, 3, and 4 are. Ouch! You're missing three of my favourite tracks on the album: Boats to Build, License to Chill and Coast of Carolina. I'm not at the point yet where I...

From Billboard: Jimmy Buffett's "License To Chill" (Mailboat/RCA) drops two places to No. 4 on a 21% slip to 117,000 copies... Still pretty darn good if you ask me! Considering that most Parrotheads will have owned LTC since Week 1, the fact that Jimmy managed to sell well over 100,000 cop...

Hands down, The Who. Not disputing that Zep wasn't a great band, and influenced a generation of heavy metal acts, but The Who (along with the Beatles and Stones) helped shape and define modern rock. I like Zep for their blues roots (some of which they even credited, albeit under duress) but can't he...

I have heard him on several occasions over the years (during interviews) allude to the fact that there are songs that he "must play" during concerts or "be killed" by the audience. 'Cheeseburger' is one of these songs. Personally, I would rather not ever hear Cheesburger in conc...
