Amen to that. I have a lasting memory of hearing a great show while a friggin' pirate ship was sailing by on one side and a rainbow was forming on the other. Cry me a river that a set list that you are reading 1000 miles away isn't what you hoped to see.

My 2 cents:

I went to Newport, I had one of the best Buffett days possible, and saw a whole day of great music, including Jimmy.

We all have our own opinions, and that's great, but Buffettnews has sadly become a little too negative for me these days.

Have fun with what we got, because it ain't gonna be around forever.

Amen Brother!!!...right on all accounts!!

I had an absolute blast. It was overall one of the best Jimmy Buffett shows I have ever been to. As someone who generally does not get to sit that close to the stage seeing him in such a small venue (7500 people which is 1/2 to 1/3 the size of the big shows) was amazing. I also got to spend the entire day with my father and brother both of whom I have not really seen that much of lately. While I would have perfered an acoustic show, who cares Jimmy is 60 years old and still touring 20+ shows a year. Zuke introduced me to the Mayer brothers who were two of the nicest people I have ever met. I got to breifly say hi to all the BN people, the bay with all the boats was beautiful especially the "pirate ship" that sailed by during Pirate, I have no complaints at all from the show at all and thank you Zuke and all of the others who made the day memorable.

oh and seeing Jake was absolutly incredible, and I got to meet him too also amazingly nice
