Absent from the bluegrass state since 1990, Jimmy Buffett’s reintroduction to Kentucky was no less than memorable.
Much to delight of the 17,000 Parrotheads in attendance, Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band rocked the KFC Yum! Center Saturday night with a 27-song set lasting over two hours.
The energy in the arena was electric as Buffett, barefoot and bedecked in a bright yellow t-shirt and blue shorts, took the stage, opening with the popular, Piece of Work, bringing the crowd to its feet for the first of many times in the evening.
Inspired by his own Kentucky connection, Buffett waxed poetic on his history with the state, reminiscing of a side trip he took while living in Nashville to Mammoth Cave. This lead-in kicked off the formerly controversial God’s Own Drunk, much to the delight of the enamored crowd.
