coast of marseilles

I saw Jimmy perform this at one of his shows at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte in the early '90s. I can't remember the exact date but it was beautiful. Definitely one of my favorite songs!! :D

Pretty sure I've seen CoM live some time since August 2001, but I wasn't in Aspen or Nashville for the shows already mentioned, and I'm not sure which show it was.

This has always been one of my favorite songs (Buffett or otherwise), and I wish he'd bring it back in the encore more often--it's such a beautiful song!

Also, if you haven't heard the Forlini & Cross version of "Cost of Marseilles" I suggest you check it out. It's every bit as good as Jimmy's!
