Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band performed at Stubb’s BBQ in Austin TX on May 26th. The set list from the show is now available. Some of the songs played include “License to Chill”, “Blue Guitar”, “The Great Filling Station Holdup”, “If I Had A Boat”, and “Tin Cup Chalice”.
From cmptrman: “Jimmy put on a great show tonight at Stubb’s BBQ in Austin, TX. He played for about 90 minutes with the full band and no break, followed by a group encore and then a solo encore after everyone else left the stage. The crowd was very much into the show, and you could tell Jimmy and the Coral Reefers were getting energy from the crowd as well. On top of the amazing show, he also told the audience he was “leaving all the money from this show” to help victims of the recent floods in Austin and Central Texas. Truly a class act through and through.”

While many arena acts in a small venue might use stage time for set list experimentation, this mostly wasn’t the case with Buffett. Outside of a handful of album cuts like “Blue Guitar” and “Off to See the Lizard,” he and the band seemed content to simply knock the rust off and — for the most part — play the “yellow album” hits that have made the man a fortune. This is apparently not the plan for the summer tour. During some stage banter, he mentioned that the group will play a larger 32-song, three-hour set sprinkled with rarities on the regular tour dates.
