Update:The Kansas City Star has a review of the show: “Buffett takes a big crowd on another joy cruise”
Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band are the biggest, slickest and most successful bar band in the world. Its formula is straightforward: Play a bunch of familiar songs about drinking, partying, loving, reminiscing and regretting; toss in a few well-known covers; and turn a big crowd into a festive, nostalgic sing-along mob.
For the second time in less than a year, that’s what Buffett and his 10-person band did Saturday night inside a nearly sold-out Sprint Center. They do it without little flash and few frills. Aside from a video backdrop that showed various beach and tropical scenes, a couple of artificial palm trees and a host of beach balls that bounced around the arena all night, it was all about the music, the high-octane band and the balmy, good-time vibe.
