I think if you click on "What's Playing" up on the header, you get a rundown of what's played when, and all that. It used to be much more specific, but it gives you a general idea. Concerts used to be broadcast live for each show, I think, but I don't know if that's still true.

If it's going to be broadcast live anywhere, it will be broadcast via radiomargaritaville.

They don't broadcast concerts live at the Margaritaville restaurants from my experience.

They have a rotating loop of JB music and videos that they play in restaurant, but don't override that if a live show is on, nor do they listen to Radio Margaritaville in the restaurants.

I don't think they play Radio Margaritaville in the Cafes during the concert, but that sure would be a great idea.

I think they actually played a video simulcast of Jimmy's Orlando Hurricane Benefit show at Lulu's one time.

I understand there were more places that had the video feed LIVE, but I don't recall if it went to the Margaritavilles.

This, of course, was a special simulcast.

We talked about it on the setlist thread.

I think they simulcast that Orlando show at all the Margaritavilles. I went to the show and I was at M'ville Orlando the night before, I seem to remember them saying it would be broadcast the next night.

Last spring when we were in Dallas they kept showing a group in Florida who was partying to a live simulcast of the Buffett show, and they also showed us that group partying in Florida.

Not a very good idea if you ask me! I would have rather seen folks at Dallas on the big screen than folks in Florida!!!

No Mville Orlando does not show the show's live, they do show several parts of various concerts on the big video boards which look like sails but no live concert. They do have 2 very good live bands which start at 10pm each night, they play a little of everything.

They'd have to delay it a bit... Jimmy will drop an f-bomb every so often. In order to remain "phamily-phriendly", they would likely want to edit those (and likely comments about weed, etc.) out.

Buying your keet a ticket to a show, you'd likely be aware of these, but taking a kiddo to a restaurant, and having to explain them, it's a different story.
