When was the last time he has played this song at a show, if anyone knows? I have been to 12 shows... really young for a lot of them, so I can't recall set lists. I wish he'd play it more, honestly. I don't recall him playing it at all in recent years to the shows I have been to.

2000 in Irvine, CA.

hot dang.
i was just a freshman in high school that year, so yeah, sadly don't remember him playing it when he played it in 1999 in atlanta... i was at that show. wish he'd play it now. that song has been putting me in a good mood for years.

I just checked that list and I've only seen him play it once, 4/15/2000 in Las Vegas. That was the first time I traveled out of NY for a Buffett show and it was my birthday.

lucky larry.

i have probably been making it the first song i listen to while at work every morning for the past 2 1/2 years. hoping his people read the comments on the margaritaville.com tour pages because i just went to drastic, pathetic measures of begging for him to add it to the set list on there.

Me too. Great song.

Agreed, great song.

Awesome tune...one of my faves. I'm not sure how it was left off of Hot Water.
I've never heard it in person either.

Interesting factoid from Jimmy’s notes in the box set:
“Zouk” is a popular form of music from the French Antilles, the kind that makes you dance without
knowing what the singer is saying. Since the songs are in patois French, this helps.
I once received a request for permission to write new lyrics to the melody of Margaritaville by a very
famous European singer and thought it was great and was interested to hear their interpretation.
Well this is the melody to a song called “kole Sere,” written by my friend Joecely Beroard,
the lead singer for a great Zouk band named Kaasav. The lyrics are mine and I hope that they like the
way I interpret their music. This was the first song ever recorded at Shrimp Boat Sound in Key West and
Steve Winwood is the guest organist. I thank him for taking time out from his fishing trip.

That was a wonderful way to start my morning, as I sit here waiting for my coffee, watching the "wintry mix" coat my deck! Thanks!

Thanks, Michael!

I remember that show! Believe that was the first time I met you Larry. One of the rare Spring Vegas shows.
