Re: Mac and Jake in Hawaii

Curious as to what the setlist was. I would think it would be awesome. With some great stories thrown in.

Re: Every Album Ranked!

This may sound a little weird, but I think that Don't Stop the Carnival is one of the best examples of his writing ability. If you never read the book you really should. He made each of those characters come alive. It is impressive. And Barometer Soup is also extremely well written. He was a story t...

Best Live Versions (Help Needed)

I almost never listened to the live concert broadcasts and I still rarely listen to the RM concert replays. I've now come to realize that I am kind of missing out and I am asking for a little help from some phriends. First, does anyone know of a particular concert that was just absolutely amazing? W...

Re: Equal Strain on All Parts Released

Columbus threw me for a loop. I was relieved to learn it was a cover. Maybe it would have been better on FSOTW.
University, Ti Punch, Johnny's Rhum and Bubbles Up are wonderful. The others will likely all grow on me.

Re: RIP - Jimmy Buffett

So this morning a song came on that I had never heard before, "Night and Morning" by David Francey. I listed to it and immediately thought of Jimmy and that it seemed like a song I would love to hear him cover. Then it occurred to me, that is what I think I will miss the most. It won't be ...

Re: Jimmy's Favourite Music, Books etc.

Some of the other books I have read that were referenced by him: "Wind, Sand and Stars" (which is freaking awesome); Far Tortuga (mediocre), I am going to do "Vagabond's House" and then "Floridays" both by D. Blanding. I have never seen "Adventures in Paradise"...

I noticed that too.
I like that he keeps his stuff private. He was in a hospital for 10 days and no one said anything. That is cool.

Re: 2023 tour dates

The GW date does make perfect sense. And since a GW and Jones Beach would be local, along with maybe Bethel Woods and PNC (both of which have T/Th in August open), I hope he is well enough to shoot for something like that. Gives him two months to rest up.

Re: More Trivia than U ever wanted to know about Margaritaville

During the first Montessori benefit show, which was just him and his guitar, we tried to get him to NOT play Margaritaville. He was shocked. He said "is this the beginning of the end?" It was funny. He played it anyway.

Whatever the health issue is, there is no doubt in my mind he has some of the best doctors in the freaking world treating him. There is also no doubt in my mind that he will be back on stage at some point it in time. And now, gosh darn it, I also feel that there is no doubt I am going to have to go ...

Re: 2023 tour dates

I highly doubt that the show sold out today. I would be shocked. And as for the Platinum stuff, who in their right mind would pay some of the prices that are being asked? And how are there no resales available? Something does not add up. It makes no sense.

Re: 2023 tour dates

Most of the venues in Northeast that he tends to play already have a bunch of acts lined up. Tours do not get put together at the last minute and everyone will want as much time as possible to sell tickets and get merchandise ready.

I am really starting to wonder if there will be a tour at all.

Re: 2023 tour dates

Jimmy has a deep connection to The Eagles and I suspect that is why he did those opening shows a few years back. Jones Beach still has Tues & Thurs open in August and PNC has a few of them as well. But definitely no Sat at either. Mansfield has 8/12. Bethel Woods has most Tues/Thurs open. Maybe ...

Re: 2023 tour dates

You said he doesn't need anyone to tour with, but followed it up by saying Jimmy doesn't sell out shows anymore. That's exactly why he would consider a co-headline tour. What I mean is that he does not sell out the venues that he traditionally plays. There are hundreds of other venues he can play t...
