It's the God Bless America or America the Beautiful to Margaitaville.

ANOTHER one which is okay, but one I wouldn't get too upset about if he shelved it for one of his rarities.

There is nothing like looking over an audience doing fins... a concert would be left out without it!

That's gotta be the most awesome feeling as an entertainer, seeing everybody in the crowd waving their fins

IF it wasnt for the audience participation at the shows... I might be burned on this as well... fortunately, due to the memories it brings (unlike M'ville) I still like this song

any song that gets Heather onstage is fine with me.

One of the standards but I never seem to get tired of it. I think Buffett would have a hard time dropping it from the setlist because the crowd participation thing is such a big part of his shows.

I love it in concert. Wouldn't be the same without it. I do get tired of hearing the studio version at home, but only because the keets like to listen to it OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. But, if that's what it takes to raise a good parrothead, then I'll just hafta deal.

I will never forget the look on my wife's face during FINS at her first Buffett concert! It was a bewildered, "What kind of strange cult are you trying to induct me into" look!

We were at the front rail at JazzFest a few years ago...turning around and watching 30,000 folks doing FINS is quite a sight...I can only imagine what it looks like from the stage!

I loved "Fins" way before it was "FINS!!!"

And I still love it!

I've been behind the stage at shows, and was waaaay stage right, toward the front, at Great Woods. It's an *AWESOME* sight to see the whole audience doing Fins!!

I never get tired of this one at shows.

A JB concert without Fins would be like, well, a JB concert with out Fins. And that just aint right.

Alpine Valley, in the pavillion, and looking out over the lawn at all 35224 folks doing the dance... pretty awe-inspiring sight.

Standing in the front row at Pittsburgh watching the entire stadium do "Fins" was totally awesome. And so is driving in the car and turning around to see 3 grandkeets doing "Fins" We are raising them right.

My first concert was at Alpine, and watching everyone do it was AMAZING

Love it, I even like the person, that the song was written about too. Way to go Amy (no not Amy Lee)
