So this is how I spent my Sunday afternoon. I went through each album that was released after BBB&B and then tried to figure out what songs I would add to a new disc if one came out. After going through the compiled track list I came up with the title for the disc, "Biographies." Here is my track li...

One of the things I really enjoy about this series is the way we get to see Jimmy "at work." It is obvious that he has not practiced each song to the point where he can do them without the help of any aids. Seeing him struggle, hearing him sing off key, those are things I've never seen before (the t...

When I used to go to shows, I brought 4 - 6 people with me. None of them were Parrotheads, they went for the party. And his shows do not sell out any more. But even if you take half of the people who attend shows as real die-hard fans, you only get 150,000 "parrotheads." Which I think is still way t...

I absolutely love what he is doing. BUT... If there is one negative take away, I think that it is we are learning there are very few Parrotheads out there. Which is something I have always sensed. The "Mandolin Song" has 3,021 likes on Facebook. Jimmy has only 295,000 followers on Instagram. Accordi...

Super cool to hear BN get referenced.

I missed the Montessori Benefit show that he closed with "Death of an Unpopular Poet." I always said to my wife that if we had been there, it probably would have been my last concert, because nothing (to me) would have been better than that. Except, maybe this. This could be it. This could be a lite...

Overall I give it a B-. Like all Buffett albums there are some gems (Slack Tide, Book on the Shelf, Who Gets To Live Like This, Hey That's My Wave, maybe even 15 Cuban Minutes) and some fast forward material (Cussin' Island, Live Like It's Your Last Day) and few that will grow on me. I used to have ...

I think there are a variety of reasons that the shows have not been outright cancelled. Most of them likely have to do with money, which is understandable. However, I also think that we and the artists, and everyone else in the sports and entertainment world, just do not know what to expect. Think a...

Considering Jimmy's investments in cannabis, I am surprised that he is not listed as being a part of the thing Willie Nelson is doing. Or, even doing something similar himself. I always feel like his support of marijuana comes and goes. He'll wear a weed inspired jacket and perform with Willie weari...

YES!!! I am totally on board with this.

Jimmy did an interview on RM late last night saying that he is really looking forward to touring as soon as he can. He knows we all need a little escape and he wants to help us all out. To do his part, he said that in addition to performing songs off the new album he is planning to do something diff...

Agree. There are just too many covers. They are an amazing band. But I am not going to shell out $400 - $500 bucks, again, to take the family to a show when I know that I am going to walk out before the encores start. Really too bad.

It is definitely unfortunate for those few people who travel for a show. But my guess is that there are very few people who travel to a Buffett show. Heck, the only people who do it are probably on this web-site. So I hope you don't take is personally. But something is definitely very off. I just lo...

My guess is that they are trying to work out the money and other details. Tours are often insured. There are probably certain contract provisions that need to be complied with. For example, if the show is cancelled within a certain number of days but re-scheduled then the payout is "X". Leave it to ...

Does anyone know why this was left out of the song selection for BBB&B? I think it is universally agreed this is one of his best songs. Who the heck thought it should not be included with the box set?

I have seen her perform a few times. Last time was with Kenny Chesney. She was not particularly good. I think her voice is too high pitched or it is that she sings in a pitch (octave?) that is a little beyond her reach. I am not quite sure. In concert, we could barely understand/hear her and at time...

Willie Nelson plays a lot more shows per year but in smaller venues. I also think he has a larger base of fans to draw from. That seems to be why he can last as long as he has. If Jimmy played smaller venues and altered the vibe a little (less drinking-more dope smoking?) I think he could follow a s...

This thread assumes Jimmy is going to decide to hang it all up one day. It is always possible that the venues he still plays are going to make the decision(s) for him. There are still hundreds of tickets available for every single concert on this tour. You can go to the show on Thursday for $29.00. ...

Over the past two years my kids and I have seen Taylor Swift, Zac Brown, Kenney Chesney and Mumford & Sons. As well as a variety of opening acts. While each performer was very good, they all had their faults. I have criticized Buffett, mostly for his set lists which I believe cater entirely to the P...

Jimmy and Hollywood do not mix. Plain and simple. His acting sucks, the songs he writes for movies s***, the movies he has been in s***... I know that none of what he does should be taken seriously. After all it is only Hollywood and I am sure he is just having fun. But my God, how many crappy thing...
