I thought the
Texas Stadium showwas BIG and special for many, many reasons. Seeing George Strait and Alan Jackson along with Jimmy brought in lots of non-parrotheads. It was one of the longest and hottest days of my life.
From the way Jimmy talked, Wrigley Field show was very, very special and important to him!!

Each jimmy show is the biggest or best to someone in the crowd. Whether its because its their first one or their next one or because they got tickets for someone special etc.
Somewhere in each show there is a little magic happening.
But this one does have the ability to be the one that the non-parrothead world will remember due to the oil spill and the lives it has ruined.

Actually Jimmy always talked about Jazz Fest in New Orleans, during his performance the crowd exceeded 125,000 this would have been about 7 years ago.

I saw Jimmy at Margaritaville in New Orleans the night before the big Jazz Fest event, he was in rare form, upbeat and rocking. It was a great moment for all 200 of us that were able to get in, the next day I can recall Jimmy with his fin up, hanging out of a window of a Black SUV, as he was leaving Jazz Fest. The Buffett magic was at one of the all time highs, New Orleans, no oil spill, people had money, and Jimmy was in his element, as was over 125,000 people, except those that needed a bathroom!
