Buffett attended game three. However, my impression is that he did not attend game 5, not in his usual seat. My guess is that he's already up north. I believe that the band has a rehearsal today--Friday--somewhere up there.

In my opinion, the ideal way to be introduced to Buffett's music is to start with the early albums, "White Sport Coat" through "Coconut Telegraph," because these are his best artistic works. For me, there's not one bad song on any of those albums, and I agree that "Havana Da...

I have been to Camden. While I love Philly, and go there every chance I get, I don't care for the Camden venue. Parking lots are small and broken up into a number of small lots, which complicates tailgating with friends. Also, the area around the venue is sketchy at best. I would recommend, personal...

This thread reminds me that "Love in the Library" is a song I really like. One way to interpret it is that it's a song about falling in love with reading.

I have been watching, but haven't seen him yet.

Is he sitting at his normal spot under the basket?

Yes.

Nice to see JB at tonight's Heat game. Welcome back to Miami, Mr. Buffett. Go Heat!

Les Paul (now deceased)

Also several trop rock artists that we now follow!

Thanks for mentioning Bankie Banx. I was introduced to him on Buffett's "Live in Anguilla." I just downloaded "Still in Paradise," the album, from iTunes.

I'm surprised "Lovely Lady" hasn't been played, great song, would make a terrific choice for 1st song after Jimmy's one song intermission or for final encore. Truly great song. Once again, good work.

Ilo was the opening act for Buffett for a couple of tours. I think it was designed to give Ilo exposure, which, in my opinion worked. I think that Ilo is terrific, and I downloaded from iTunes both of his available works, the short album and the long one. Now it's time for Ilo to make it on his own....

I've really enjoyed "Never Work in Dis Bidness Again" and "Who's the Blond Stranger" so far. I hope that "Mermaid in the Night" is soon eliminated from the tour, an absolutely dreadful song in my opinion. I would have kept "Son of a Son" and gotten rid of &qu...

"Fruitcakes" is always a welcomed addition for me, and "Bama Breeze" as well. Thanks for keeping us up to date. I'm going to go cook some grouper.

Thanks for ruining the show. God havent you people heard of the warning "Spoiler Alert" before you post stuff. Now everyone knows what the whole show will look like months before seeing it and most of us didnt go searching for them. At least you know with the set lists that you usually ge...

Sitting here listening to Henry Kapono, I'm reminded of all the artists I've come to through Buffett's music. For me, the list includes: Henry Kapono Allen Toussaint Harry Belafonte Ilo Ferreira Jerry Jeff Walker Jesse Winchester Lionel Richie Little Feat Todd Snider John Hiatt Marshall Chapman Zac ...

I thought that one of the strengths of the Welcome to Fin Land tour was the set list, breaking out songs such as "The Wino and I Know," "Cuban Crime of Passion," "Havana Daydreamin'," and "Treat Her Like a Lady." For the new tour, I like the idea behind doing ...

I too am looking forward to the new album. I went to my first Buffett show in about 1985, and my most recent was last January in Miami, which was one of my alltime favorite shows. Mostly I'm grateful that all these years later, we're all still doing this.

Thanks for posting this. I especially enjoyed the clip of "Trying' to Reason with Hurricane Season" and Buffett's remarks about the only wall is the wall the performer puts up.

I'm sorta new (well, REALLY new) to this board, so forgive me if this has been covered before, but what, in your opinion, qualifies one to be called a Parrothead? Is a Parrothead simply a JB fan, one who buys the CDs/DVDs? Or must a person necessarily have seen JB in concert at least once (or maybe...
