Other opening songs I've liked over the years-
Stars On the Water (I know, I know-it's a cover, but it's still a fun song)
Cuban Crime of Passion (on the Havana Daydreamin' tour in 1997)
Lage Nom Ae
Great Heart
Migration (Dallas-2006)\

Also,
he did "Changes In Latitudes" as an opening song on (I think) the License To Chill tour a few years ago.
A great song, to be sure (THE song that got me listening to Jimmy), but as an OPENING song?
Oh well, as long as there IS an opening song.

And he did preform "Take Another Road" at the West Palm Beach concert in 2001-just days after Dale Earnhardt was killed. He dedicated the song (the final encore song) to Dale.

Garry those arre all really great songs. as you said "stars on the water " is a cover but i just love the way he covers it.

Yup, and it always makes me think of the Hurricane Hannah show!

That show was awesome....especially with that version of Stars On the Water as it began to pour and closing the show with an accoustic "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season"....WOW!!!

I think the perfect song to open the shows of this next tour is a cover......Club Trini's "Come on In", it's upbeat, it's inviting and as Jimmy says at the end of it, "I've always liked that song"

I like!!!

I really hope Jimmy keeps Rhumba Man in too!!

I would love to hear "Island" as a final encore!!

i know i've heard "island " as an encore at least once and i'm thinking twice. everytime i hear that song, it really tugs at my heart strings. it so makes me think of st. barths's and how i'll do just about anything to get there. i always cry.

I am crying right now Carol. You are going to St Barth's without us.


Pam, I relive the trip too. Wish we could go this year!! Miss my new phriends. Need vanilla rhum!!

Hey, we wish you were coming also!!! We will definitely all go again.

Carol, I"m putting in my order for a bottle of Ma Doudou Vanilla please...
I'm SO missing that!

Yep...and remember Jimmy called an audible, telling Mac to get off the stage and then played a solo accoustic God's Own Drunk....one of the better setlists I remember seeing live.

It's not a very good opening song, in my opinion, but the lyrics scream "OPEN WITH ME!!! OPEN WITH ME!!!!"...heck, it might as well be called "I WROTE THIS AS AN OPENER FOR MYSELF"
