And another thing....

It's the end of June and not one west coast date. I would absolreakingloutely LOVE to buy tickets to the Jimmy Buffett and The Coarla Reefers, Songs You Know By Heart Tour. :D Sort of gives you the feeling what it WILL be like someday when the concerts stop.

I'll step down from my soapbox now.
got to stop wishin' got to start fishin'....

I'd like to get rid of ALL cover songs. I really like the music that Jimmy wrote the best of all. And I miss that in his newer CDs.

Also, I'd like to see him play Southern Cross more in the standard set list, and free up some more space in the encores to play something a little more obscure, like: Miss You So Badly, Life is Just a Tire Swing, or one of my favorite Buffett songs: LONE PALM!!! That song would be great live acoustic with Mac and Jake.

I gotta keep Fins in the set list due to the fact that its always awesome too see all those people with those fins up!! I could go without CIP!!

PHINS up!!
I remember someone posted a long time ago that Jimmy should do a tour called "Songs you DON'T know by heart". I would pay anything (almost) to see that concert. Not that I don't like what he plays now, but most are played to death. And we all know there are sooooo many great songs that he never plays. Maybe someday.

I don't go to a lot of shows......so I don't get 'tired' of them like most people.....(with the exception of WDWGAS).....I also consider the perspective that at every concert, there are people going 'fins up' with a giant crowd, for the first time......it's someone's first time to hear "Come Monday" live....

Having said that, I have to admit I was TERRIBLY annoyed at the woman sitting next to us at The Pond a few years ago....she was miffed because they were playing songs 'that nobody knows'....ie "Woman Goin' Crazy on Caroline Street"......I just said, I guess you missed me and my daughter singing every word.....lots of people know these songs!

I'm not sorry to see WDWGSAS dropped, except I liked Doyle's solo!

JB's never going to do a big show without Cheeseburger, Margaritaville, Volcano, Five O'Clock Somewhere, Fins, OPH, and Pirate Looks At Forty, among others. Really, the only one I wouldn't mind dropping from the list would be Volcano. The others define a Jimmy Buffett concert and I'd miss the crowd going nuts.

Although I don't dislike Brown Eyed Girl, I trade it in a *heartbeat* for another JB song. Need it upbeat, to keep things moving? Play School Boy Heart, I Love the Now, Last Mango in Paris, Migration, Peanut Butter Conspiracy, We Are The People, etc.

I would LOVE to see a small venue show where the set list is nothing but old, vintage Jimmy. Anguilla came very close; there were some GREAT surprises!

As much as I love Boats Drinks, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for Barometer Soup every now and then.

I love Come Monday, but I wouldn't mind a rotation with When The Coast Is Clear, Tin Cup Chalice, Cowboy In The Jungle, etc.

We're definitely going to need a three day Buffett festival with no repeats! :D (Can't you see it? Parrotstock, at the Dune Preserve...) 8)

Okay, saving up for Parrotstock!

Just so happy WDWGDAS is (so far) off the set list this year ... from what he said, so is Bubba :)

Did you see the latest Coconut Telegraph in the mail? Just got it yesterday!!

The Anguillans were THRILLED with the JB concert and the parrotheads...very cute article.

Anyway, I think we would kill them with a 3 day concert! :lol:

Gotta keep fins. Watching 20,000 people move their "fins" to the left, then to the right is such an awesome sight!
You really think so??
I think it looks rather silly...like a huge "simon says" fest...maybe for a bunch of kids...but I never play along.

I couldn't agree more. I was at the Nissan show a couple of years ago when he played that. I was looking around thinking, WHY is Jimmy playing this song???

I could do without WDWGDAS

I would like to hear wino I know, something makes me think that he played it while hear in tallahassee... but than again, I was really wasted.

I dont like it when he plays covers. In fact I hate it. Play your own songs we all love jimmy!

I kinda like whos that blonde stranger, even though it gets played enough I suppose.

Migration would be a lovely addition to any set list!

What people at a Buffett show acting silly? I thought that was the point. Lose your self in the music and enjoy the now! all the songs listed sound different and the show and I don't mind any of them. I would just prefer to hear certain ones over some others, but they are all good.
