Jimmy Buffett’s 2010 Under the Big Top Tour continued on Thursday night with a show at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA.
A review of the show is available: “Parrot Heads flock to rousing Buffett concert”
Some changes to the set list included “Frank And Lola”, “Trip Around the Sun”, and “Fruitcakes”. For the final encore Jimmy performed “Brown Eyed Girl”.
The set list and comments from the show are now available.
The Big Top tour continues with a second show at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA on Saturday June 19th.
Update: The Boston Globe has a review of the show “Strumming his six-string, Buffett ushers in summertime fun”
Jimmy Buffett comes around these parts every year, usually in synch with the start of summer. His timing surely is intentional. Even in dreary weather, he brings with him the season’s standbys: flip-flops, Hawaiian shirts and skirts, and, most of all, an escapist attitude that happiness is just a beach and drink away.
New England, with its devout nation of Parrotheads, holds a special place in Buffett’s heart. Last night at the Comcast Center — Buffett still affectionately calls it Great Woods — was a reminder that no matter how often Buffett plays, it’s no longer just a concert: It’s an event (and it repeats tomorrow night).
