Just circled back to the guy at the Amarillo Civic Center. His curiousity is at work and he has been doing some digging. Unfortunately, the archives are not great. So, nothing may turn up. He recommended contacting the folks at margaritaville.com. I told him that we already had done that (about a we...

Yo Ho, Matey! I really was getting discouraged and had not checked this discussion board for a couple days. I figured we were DITWA on this quest. Being Dead In The WAter and going nowhere is frustrating. Unless, of course, you can jump overboard and take a quick and refreshing swim before the wind ...

Jibe Ho! Now that we've have tacked again... Thanks, "conched" (Nancy)! Your research skills are impressive. The pictures of those old ticket stubs do bring back memories. You led me to some information on Friends Productions. From what I can gleen, Friends Productions came into existence ...

Thanks for the encouragement. I called the Amarillo Public Library and spoke with a couple of really nice people. One of them at the Reference Department spent a while listening to our endeavor. We laughed a bit and told each other a few stories. He told me a very interesting story about Little Rich...

A quick little update... I heard back from the Marketing Administrator at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex who recommended I contact the Amarillo Public Library and seek some help from a research assistant. So, it is now on to the next path and a new contact to be made. [smilie=superkewl.gif] Libra...

Well, within about an hour I heard from "JB" via the message stream Last posts from "Jim Buffett" . Thanks "JB". Seems that Arnie is no longer with the organization. Not sure if that means "JB" will not be looking into this question any further. In the meantim...

Quick update... In case this jogs some foggy memory banks... Hastings Books and Records was a part of Western Merchandisers "back in the day". Western Merchandisers had a reputation for pulling in great performers to Amarillo. Also, in hopes that JB and Arnie can pull some detail from the ...

JB - Huge favor to ask. Could you have Arnie check out viewtopic.php?f=1&t=87543
and then check those 1394 shows to see if the history on an old @'75 or '76 Amarillo show date, set list, etc could be confirmed? Thanks for everything!

I heard from Roger right away. While he recalls a music festival in north Texas or Oklahoma during that timeframe, it was just he and Jimmy, not the band. He will check with "Fingers" and Phillip and get back to me.

Well, Nancy (conched). I just shot a note to Roger. I will let ya'll know what, if anything, I get back from him. Thanks! My buddy, Scott, who is mentioned in the original post is heading to Vegas tomorrow morning for the show. If any of you are going, let me know. i will tell him and, perhaps, you ...

Thanks. It was definitely Amarillo (not Austin's Armadillo Club). I will try to use that YouTube tip (from conched(Nancy) and reach Roger Bartlett via YouTube. We (Scott, my buddy from high school days and I) think there might have been some connection to Hastings Books and Records who had/has store...

Thanks for trying!

Hey folks, Help, please. A good friend and I went to see Jimmy and the band play in Amarillo years ago at the auditorium (Great show and fun.). We think it was '75 or '76 when we were juniors/seniors in high school. I know it has been a long time ago. But, niether of us can remember exactly which ye...
