Hello fellow Parrotheads! Just got back from the amazing performance by Jimmy buffett in East Hampton. It rained very hard but the show went on. I was lucky enough to get into the show for free with my mom. My friend is a volunteer for the Democratic Convention. Jimmy even had some members of the Coral Reefers there with him, on guitar Peter Mayer, on bass Jim Mayer, Michael Utley, Roger Guth and a new Referette.
Jimmy sounded so good tonight, the acoustics was amazing! I was dead center, 1st row about 3 feet away, couldn’t have asked for anything more. I took lots of pictures and will post them as soon as I put then on cd. Here’s tonights setlist:
1. Changes in Latitudes
2. License to Chill
3. Volcano
4. Come Monday
5. Pascagoula Run
6. Son of a Son of a Sailor
7. Hey Good Lookin’
8. A Pirate Looks at 40
9. Southern Cross
10. Brown Eyed Girl (with John Kerry on Acoustic guitar!) Jimmy said he has a job on guitar anytime.
11. Margaritaville
Fins was on the setlist, but Mr. Kerry made a long speech befor Brown Eyed Girl and I guess they decided to skip that one. Also, there were no fellow Parrotheads there, My Mom & I were the only true Parrotheads there.
I had a fun time, the show was a more rock and roll fell without all the big production of the full tours, Peter Mayer is a great guitarist. Jimmy and the Coral Reefers had a great tight band this evening.
