Though I agree with you to a point, i also think that it will be pretty cool to have a number of DVD's spread out over the remainder of his tours. This way, each DVD will give you a taste of the previous years tour.

As for this DVD, I was able to purchase it last Tueday and it is pretty good. I have to admit though that my favorite song on the DVD wasn't done at a concert, but rather it is Jimmy and the CRB jamming to Knees of My Heart in St. Barts. The worst part of the DVD... Cheeseburger (could have done without it) and the sound during Fins fades in/out.

Another point about the DVD... it was taped over a number of shows (including some from the FSOTW tour) and they switch between concerts / tours during the songs.

How about one of these Coldplay type deals where you get a full length concert DVD and an accompanying CD of the concert in the same package for $20 or so.

The best music DVD I have is the U2 DVD "Elevation Tour: Live from Boston". It is amazing....... It has 2 cd's. The first is just an entire concert from Boston uncut. The second has like 3 hours of behind the scenes stuff and like 6 other performances from other conerts. It is amazing. If Buffett did something like that it would be awesome.......

Wouldn't you just love to be in the position to have people begging you to let them give you more money. And as he says, "hes spending our money foolishly." I figure I've probably at least gassed up his plane for one of his trips. Keep the DVDs comin, JB!

Just got it havn't watched it yet. Making a boat drink and a cheesburger for lunch and about to watch it. Ok a few boat drinks...

It seemes like the way it was worded when I read about the Boston shows being released it was going to be both. If they only release one the Thursday show was a little better. I was at both, Changing Channels on Thursday nights encore made the show.

are there 2 types of DVD cases it comes in? I've found the DVD in a CD case but I'm looking for the DVD in a regular DVD case. Does this make sense to anyone?

Another way they may release the Great Woods shows is to combine both shows into 2 discs with about 34 songs on it.

There must be two types of cases. Cause the one I got came in a regular DVD case. A lot of people said they bought it and the store had put it in the CD section because its in a CD case and I guess they didn't look to see that it was a DVD
