Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band performed at the Amway Center in Orlando FL last night. The Set List the show is now available.
The Orlando Sentinel has a review of the show review: “Jimmy Buffett at Amway Center”
It was Groundhog Day this past week, which means it was time for Jimmy Buffett to emerge, see his shadow and hit the road for another chorus of the Margaritaville songbook.
Like Bill Murray’s character in the Groundhog Day movie, Buffett exists in an on-stage reality that doesn’t change much. To his credit, he obviously enjoys the continuity.
On a stage that was as low-key as the guy’s attitude, Buffett and his 10-piece Coral Reefer Band performed in front of a couple of giant beach umbrellas, a wooden fence and not much else aside from a giant video screen to show oceanfront views and other images.
“It was a lovely day in Orlando today,” Buffett told the crowd, in the midst of an opening salvo that included “The Wino and I Know,” “License to Chill” and the party anthem “It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere.” The latter featured singer-guitarist Mac McAnally, one of the formidable talents in the band, as a capable substitute for original duet partner Alan Jackson.
The tour resumes on Saturday February 25th at the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, AL.
