Blame it on technology. Technology has been grand, but it certainly has its glitches.

I think those songs (and others) are not "must plays" for Jimmy, but for the audience. Like it or not, I think those of us who go to multiple shows a year, listen to live shows on RM, follow the setlists and have been doing so for years and years make up about 10%-15% of the audience. Loo...

Me neither! That song was one of the first songs that made me take notice of Buffett just 2 short years ago. That song takes me to my happy place when it is needed the most.

It sounds like RM has some glitches to work out when broadcasting instant replays.

I borrowed vinyl Coconut Telegraph from a friend in the mid1980s and copied it on a cassette tape. Was too poor to buy any albums at the time. Hubby has bought all our Jimmy CDs since then. Ahhh yes, the days of taping albums! I remember them well. I was so happy when I got a stereo with the casett...

Well, I'm a new JB fan on the block. My first three Buffett albums that I bought at the same time in 2007 were A1A, Meet Me in Margaritaville; The Ultimate Collection, and Take the Weather with you. There have been several JB album purchases since then.

Glad y'all are enjoying the downloads. That was a great show. I have a feeling that the tour will have more surprises (and new songs) scattered throughout the shows. I'm staying in SummerZcool!! :wink: Sunlover – thanks so much! I'm having a blast discovering your archives! Anyone have Buffett's pe...

Nock nock! Class, class, now class! May I remind you that the Las Vegas session of Summerzcool will begin in 29 days. Do not forget to sign up for all courses offered as they will change your life forever. Do not forget to bring all things required for school such as drinking materials, proper cloth...

SunLover--you work quickly! Amazing indeed! Thank you, thank you, thank you. This show made my whole week, and even though I was listening to this show in my living room, the energy was felt, and it was the next best thing to actually being there. Man, this was just opening night. I can only imagine...

I was listening to JD's show today, well, I'm still listening to his show, but anyway, for those who miss the live broadcast of tonight's Atlanta show or for those who will be there and will want to relive the show again, RM will rebroadcast the show shortly after the live broadcast is over.

What a great compliment! I'll bet Mr. Buffett is pleased. Maybe this will get alot of folks to take a closer look at the Buffett body of work! Maybe it will even help get him into the R&R Hall of Fame, long overdue. I wish the Huffington Post had wider circulation....maybe it will make it into ...

Dylan was once caught onstage somewhere overseas taking credit for a Prine song, little did he know John Prine himself was in attendance that evening. I'd take that with a grain of salt without something to back it up. I've seen Dylan perhaps 30 times in concert and more often than not he barely ac...

That is some compliment indeed. Dylan does not hand out compliments too lightly, so this is nice.

Hell,maybe he can't write those songs now,cause he,s not the same person.He,s not hungry or broke,doesnt split his time between a shrimp boat and a beat up tour bus.Quit dope and slowed down a little on drinking.Has a stable marriage and a family. A huge buisness and employees to take care of.So at...

Coconut Telegraph and Volcano are two JB CDS that play in frequent rotation in my CD player. Good choices.

When I say it's "hard to watch" I don't mean his shows, I'm talking about being witness to the very obvious decline of a once great songwriter. Then again, that's really nothing new as it's been going on for quite some time now, it's just become more noticeable with dribble such as We're ...

Am I the only one who's not excited about hearing new songs on this tour? i guess it depends if i like them or not. overall its always nicer hearing rare gems than new material. As long as they're better than We're Still Here (which honestly wouldn't be hard to do) then I'm all for it. When folks s...

Yeah.....back to Vegas....guaranteed to be a great time! Just booked the room, secured the tickets, and registered for LMS! Looking forward to meeting up with fellow BN'rs again. Cool! Weren't you in Las Vegas last fall for the October 25 show? I think I met you at Nadirah's show. Hi ParrotHeadinTh...

No

Um, no you are not the only one!

Wow Dave! You've been working hard! Thank you for posting the transcript and the link to the interview.

Woooooh Hoooooh! I'm excited, and i am looking forward to this tour and a new album. May 16 in Las Vegas is just a few weeks away.
