Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band’s “Songs From St. Somewhere” tour continued on Thursday night at the First Niagra Pavilion in Pittsburgh PA. The Set List from the show is now available. Changes to the set list included the new song “I Want To Go Back To Cartegena”, and “Tin Cup Chalice” for the final encore.
The Tribune-Review has a review of the show: “Buffett brings a hot party to First Niagara”
It was island hot … There was thunder and lightning and pouring rain …
And the fans didn’t seem to mind at all.
Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band made their annual trek July 18 to First Niagara Pavilion near Burgettstown, playing a tight show for about two hours that made for a nonstop party — literally. There was no intermission, and any longer breaks for switching instruments were covered by Robert Greenidge playing bits of songs on steel drums.
Buffett’s getting ready to release his first studio album in years, so a few of the 26 precious setlist spots were given to new work. “Something About a Boat,” written by Jerry Jeff Walker’s son, Django, is a good encapsulation of what a lot of fans like about the music: There is something about a boat, a guitar and your dog that can make rough times feel better. The song was part of a “pickin’ on the porch” semi-acoustic set Buffett said began as a tribute to Andy Griffith, recalling the performances that dotted the actor’s show.
