It is a sh*t hole bar on a dune in Nantucket. Attracts some amazing performers: The Wailers, Grace Potter, Little Feat, Cowboy Mouth, Uncle Cracker, Jimmy Buffett . . . to name a few.

I went to the Hawaiian Tropic Zone for Happy Hour Tuesday night. There were about 30 Playboy models prowling around. She was one of them. Don't ask me her name. I asked, I don't remember.

I can only speak to a half dozen venues from Florida to Vegas, but IMHO it's the tailgating and the people I see there that make the show for me.
...and there's no better place(s) to meet BN'rs than Texas.
Frisco is the biggest, it's simply indescribable. I would guess that a good number of the regular posters at BN have been to Frisco.
Houston, while a smaller crowd (probably due to the tailgating guidelines there), is awesome, too.

I've never been to Great Woods, so I can't compare it.
But if your looking for a good road trip.
Go to Texas in the Spring.

I've been to MSG, Gillette Stadium, the "Boston" Garden (Fleet Center at the time), Fenway Park, Las Vegas... Based on my limited experiance, hands down, Greatwoods is the best.

The Gorge. Camping right next to the venue in the middle of nowhere. Jimmy flew in and landed on the columbia river. Too cool for words. And did I mebntion it was 2 back to back shows? Wish he would play there again.
IMHO, they are all different and no one place is better, just better times and better people.

ALL Annual Buffett Regular Spots are nothing short of special. No one will deny this.

What makes Great Woods more special to me is the simple the culture of the environment. Buffett's music embobies Nantucket and the Vineyard. Block Island to Newport . . . Portland Maine to Bar Harbor and the tiny New Hampshire coast. It is special here. The Great Woods lot has a tradition of attracting tens of thousands of people with actuall ties to the ocean and its lifestyle. This might sound strange to people in great places like Wisconsin or Indy or Cinci but it is true. And if my opinion does not matter than Jimmy's opinion should. Jimmy has vacationed in Massachusetts and Maine since the late 70's. He knows the area and he knows the people. This comes out in the parking lot twice a year at Great Woods with almost effortless normalcy. It is not the venue or the physical parking lot but the lat and long of the area. No disrespect to the Jones Beach folk but the sailing boating culture doesn't even exist there in comparison although the venue is beautiful. I know tons of people who actually sail who actually live the life Jimmy preaches who come from boating areas from Nantucket past Bar Harbor who never miss a show. There in lies the difference.

But the bottom line is simple . . . all venues are tons of fun. It is who you prefer to party with, I suppose. Parrot Head's in general are fine with me.

i'm coming to see you next summer to see for myself

and I am coming this summer to see for myself, too
