Well, it took us 3 hours to get there. Backed up traffic, accidents everywhere, etc. By the time we got in, parked, got set up, we had less than 2 hours to tailgate. The weather was crappy, then it started raining hard on the way in.
Ok, so at least we had the show to look forward too. But for some reason, I feel a bit empty. Like I didn't get my money's worth. It seemed to go by way to fast. Probably b/c he didn't take a break during the show.
I was also p*** b/c his "on the road again" song by Willie sucked. He forgot half the words and the band sounded awful. Actually he sounded lame and of beat for about the first 3 songs. Then I have to listen too that Elvis song which I hate. I just don't know why he doesn't play what his best stuff. Why have that Elvis song, and a few others that are terrible?
Anyway, just venting b/c we all felt like we didn't enjoy the show. I have been going for 15 years, and this was not one I will mark as one of the best for sure. Anyone else go to Nissan who feels the same? At least I have Vegas in October.

I just got back from Jimmy Buffett where I was almost arrested for 'assaulting a police officer' after kicking a beach ball that accidentally smacked him right in the back of his head. They jumped me and pinned me to the ground, after confiscating my umbrella and the beach ball (weapons) and I tried to explain it was 'just a beach ball' and 'I wasn't aiming for anyone' and apologizing profusely, but the officer was very adamant about dragging me to the security exit, where they process ejections. He said 'You're lucky we aren't arresting you because technically that was assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon'.

They asked me, during an extremely heavy downpour, what I had done and they could not believe I could have assaulted anyone with a beach ball. They kept asking me if I was drunk, which I wasn't and finally asked the Captain in charge what to do. After hushed whispers they finally asked for my ID and Social Security number and tried to get me to sign a paper saying that I was 'Drunk In Public', but I refused because I hadn't had anything to drink. I asked if this was their first 'Assault with a Deadly Beach Ball' tonight and they said it was their 'first ever' and that they actually were not allowed to eject anyone for that.

They finally called the arresting officer, Yung, and he explained that he was smacked hard in the back of the head with the beach ball and when he turned around a large group of people were laughing at him and that I apologized, so he assumed that I had tried to intentionally 'do him bodily harm'. They had a talk with him (it was his first week on the job and then decided to let me go. I had forgotten my Driver's License, so went back to get it and the officer said 'Now, I know you are not drunk!' I missed about an hour of the show ('Bama Breeze' was playing when I finally got to my seat), but had a pretty good time, got drunk on two 16 ounce beers and got lost on the way home. Typical full moon with five planets retrograde.

what a pinhead (not you, the officer claiming it was an assault with a deadly weapon.) Good for you in not signing the statement, you avoided giving them the ability to pin full responsibility for the incident on you rather than where it belongs... on the shoulders of a wannabee with a badge, a gun, and a case of little man's syndrome. (not refering to his height or making an ethnic slur, I am refering to his willingness to push it that far because some people laughed at him). Hopefully he doesn't last long on the job, and ends up working Mall Security where his whistle and walkie-talkie can't do much damage.

How did you know he was short?

let me also take a stab: buzz cut hair, mirror shades, and during your contact with you, really in your space?

OMG! It's like you were there! Or totally psychic! He was about 5'6", did have a buzz cut, no shades due to rain and he put his hand on his gun right as he turned around and started to run towards me with his partner.

As I apologized and started screaming 'It was just a beach ball!', they both threw me to the ground, pinned my arms behind my back and cuffed me. They took my Ralph Lauren Polo umbrella and then callously tossed the lethal beach ball BACK into the crowd risking serious injury and even possible fatalities! It was a nightmare!

You missed 7 songs of a 28 song set list. I'd be asking for a refund of 25% of the price of the ticket.

Nissan cops are total p*ricks.
Beach balls at a Buffett concert are simply an occupational hazard.
