1)MARS Center-West Palm Beach, FL (2-24-01)
It's a great venue with the palm trees at the perimeter at the top of the
lawn section forming the perfect backdrop. And I met several of my
closest P.H. friends for the first time. right, Mr. Hot Old Guy? :lol:

2)Waikiki Shell-Honolulu, HI (8-31-87 & 4-19-05)
This was where I went to my first J.B. concert, and, as is the case in
some OTHER activities, the first time is ALWAYS special. right, Bonnie? :)

3)Wrigley Field-Chicago, IL (9-4-05)
Fantastic concert-the Wrigleyville area never knew what hit them, and
I think after THAT event, they're now READY for a World Series on the
NORTH side of Chicago. And once again, meeting lots of other P.H.s
was pretty special.

4)Alpine Valley & Tinley Park (tie)

Love Dallas and Smirnoff too and the Woodlands, because it's home.
Woodlands is 4th for me. I love that place, too. :D

WHY ALL THE RULES

Why all the rules, some of us have seen Jimmy at better locations 20-25 years ago then we have in the last 10.
1) MIAMI MARINE STADIUM- SO GOOD THEY MADE A VIDEO ABOUT IT

Indoor concerts are good by seeing Jimmy by the water is the BEST.

Well, if we are going to go back many years, Mrs Z still says her favorite Buffett shows were at the little clubs on sixth street in Austin in the mid 70s

Somewhere in England.

I can't believe we do a 7,000 mile round trip to see the bubba two or three times a year and he can't even pop over for one time to return the favour - LOL!

We're on our way to MSG on 9/14 (terrorists permitting) and then down to Key West for a week to see Bruce n Red. My 7th Buffett show in 4 years flying in from across the pond..... cos its hot hot hot.!

(PS Bring back Amy Lee and/or Fingers)

1st - Great Woods - by FAR the best parking lot party!

2nd - Fenway - Unbelievable shows..Jimmy was so excited to be there AND he broke the curse!

3rd - Vegas - The crowd is wild . . I think because these shows draw the die-hard fans that travel in from all over the country.

4th - Jones Beach - What a location!
