Just came back from KW this past weekend and, of course, made my yearly pilgrimage to Margaritaville. While eating and taking in my fair portion of Landsharks I noticed they were playing concert footage up on a screen- something I haven't noticed before. I noticed the same thing in Orlando and Panama City. I would like to see what interest there would be in Jimmy branching once again and creating a Margaritavision on Satellite (like MTV or VH1- only with Buffett, Reefer and other TropRock videos). I have been thinking about this for a while and think I have even read a few lines about the like on here before. Maybe, if the phlock gets behind it, we could possibly make it happen. Talked to a lady at the store and she thought it would be a great idea and there would be a lot of material to use. Just a thought and wish- how about all of you?

Wasn’t Walter Cronkite on Margaritavision?

There are a few videos on the Coconut Television on Margaritaville.com

I know that's not exactly what you were talking about, but it's pretty cool.
There are a few of those tapes they play at the various Margaritaville Restaurant's I'd like to own, but they're never for sale.

Just think it would be great to see videos (whether from concert or actual music vids) of our boy Bubba and the crew whenever we felt the need. Sure there would be others, but much like RM, there would be a lot of what we like to turn it on for.

I love the videos they play at Margaritaville. Lots of unseen stuff

I believe so. I think I remember him doing Margaritavision special reports during the Beach House tour.

i was on in Vegas and also the new Mohegan Sun!!!......and if you want to see things like that at home...thats why he sells dvd's!!

I remember watching the entire Buckeye Lake (?) show from the Fruitcakes tour that was, just like a few other things as of late (Coastal Confessions...), supposed to be released as a full length concert video, at the Marg in New Orleans.

That was a while back though.

Mrs. C-Dawg had an idea after the GW show, where she made the big screen. She asked why couldn't Jimmy sell each concert in a DVD of the footage that makes the big screen. They have the footage and the soundtrack, seems to me it wouldn't take much additional work to burn it to a DVD and sell it off the Margaritaville website. I'm sure there would be a big demand.

One small step for man... One giant leap for gumbo!

I don't think there is enough demand to make a 24/7 channel. Maybe a show...but not a whole channel.

I could be wrong (have been many times before, but I think you would be surprised.

There is no way there's enough demand. The radio show is PLENTY enough. Something like that, all of Margaritavision, would be a good DVD.

Oh wait a minute - did I just suggest that JB release a DVD of something? Nevermind.

How about a highlight of the tour dvd with concert and parking lots footage.

Isn't there enough parking lot footage from all the other DVDs? It's not exactly "interesting".

Well, some folks find it interesting and fun.

Right. But isn't there already enough? As opposed to say, I dunno, the music? There are quite a few parking lot videos on youtube. Then again. there are a lot of live albums with the same songs and the DVDs with the same songs.

Who's to say what's enough? You Tube videos are horrible in quality. Everyone has a different opinion of what they want and like, and no one is WRONG.

A Jimmy Buffett channel? Wouldn't work.

How many times a day could you watch a video of "Margaritaville" or the "Fruitcakes" video?

Those things are cool, but it'd take a few hours of watching and you would have seen everything there was to see.

I love Jimmy Buffett music, but that would be very boring.

Not enough content and just watching Jimmy Buffett videos? Wouldn't get enough viewers.

I don't think a Beatles channel would work. A Beatles show? Sure.
