What song (s) do you think would be good for Jimmy to play to open up each concert on the 2006 Tour? :D :wink:

I always thought Southern Cross and Boat Drinks would be a good way to start up the concert 8)

I think "Fins" would be a great song to start with, why not mix it up and play it first, it would get everybody up on their feet in a hurry.

I have a live version of him doing "Come on In" and he does it so well. That's a good choice!

I think "I Love the Now" would be a good opener. Also, as someone else said the other day, Mac starting 5:00 Somewhere and when it gets to "What would Jimmy Buffett do," JB and the band come out from backstage.

That'd be really good too. I hadn't thought about it.

I don't think I'd like this for every show, but for one show, it'd be a great surprise!! :D :D

I think The weather is here is a good opener. I hope in 2006 he rests Hey Good Lookin and Piece of Work..... they started to grate on me the last few months......

i must say, i never was a fan of piece of work...especially as the opener. I think boat drinks would be a great opener, but my vote has to be for Migration

I loved Great Heart as an opener, but that's been done too recently.

Also loved Only Time Will Tell.

Gotta be a song that makes people *move*! :D

I think he should do a song that somehow relates to the City or State he is playing in!!!!!

I've always thought this, too... people would get so psyched if JB walked out on stage and heard the "Jaws" theme starting up and the big shark Bruce coming out.

he ahs about 12 super opening songs for a lot of different reasons. But I think Great Heart is my favorite too.
