Saw the Reefers in Atlanta last summer and it was a good time. Also saw the Doobies open for The Eagles in Raleigh a little while back. It was umm, less than optimal. They just didn't sound good. I'd really need to see how long the CRB set list will be before I commit because that's who I'm going to...

What a great venue! You can take in food and drink and it's small enough the sight lines are excellent. It was such an odd mixture of emotions. It was so good to hear the music but not the same without Jimmy obviously. Scotty and Will fit in well. I'd never seen Will before and he's awesome. I teare...

I'm headed to Atlanta. I don't think there will be too much of a party scene given the location but I'm sure we'll have fun. Chastain Park is only about 7K people so that will be kind of nice.

It's an emotional song for sure. At first it really got me, particularly the lyric most have already mentioned. But after listening to others Jimmy knew including his family I don't view the song as a sad one anymore but rather one of hope and encouragement that things will get better no matter what...

I got 2 tickets for Atlanta.

Will Kimbrough and Scotty Emerick are with the CRB. So that's your "guests" for the most part I'd imagine. Also if you look at the announcement there is no Mike Utley listed, just Mick.

The Rock Hall is a bit of a joke when you look at who is in and who isn't. But I will say this: What they do well is put together a museum. I was there almost a dozen years ago now and the exhibits were excellent. I was there for probably close to 5 hours. You start in the bottom of the building and...

Awesome news. What a wonderful week to go home.

Gummie and Fish p*** are my least favs but I will say Gummie is still WAY better than Too Drunk to Karaoke. Listened to Mac and Mr. Utley discuss the album as they played through it on RM. That was pretty great. There are very few albums any artist puts out where every song is a winner. But I do enj...

Got my CD in the mail Saturday. I'll probably never unwrap it. But it's there with all the other Jimmy albums.

Good morning all, Wasn't exactly sure where to post this but wanted to share. Saw Mac last night at Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head. He was amazing as always. Played a few more Jimmy songs than normal but that's to be expected. Talked about getting the call when he was told "Mac, you better...

I hate the title of this thread. I don't know why exactly but "RIP" just seems so generic or casual to me when we're talking about someone who had such an impact in all of our lives. Sorry, mini-rant over.

I wanted to post what I shared with my friends after this terrible news. It was written more for my friends who were casual (if that) Buffett fans but still knew how much it all meant to me and sent their condolences. Being Parrotheads most of you are already aware of the Jimmy facts that I shared b...

I've been worrying about this for a few weeks now as there was really no news. I'm beyond crushed. But I'm also so very thankful for all the fun and friends and memories that he helped create me for. I went to 108 shows but I wanted so many more.

Good morning. I'm just across the river from Savannah in South Carolina and we got pretty lucky. It wasn't nearly as bad as predicted for which I'm very thankful. Lots of trees down and some power outages but most have been restored by now. You just never know with these things.

I think if Jimmy is feeling stronger we might see some shows this fall but I'm really skeptical of anything happening this summer. I'm so glad I bit the bullet and saw him in Key West. I had to stay in a tent on Stock Island but it was totally worth it!

There are many, many shows over the last several years that have not featured WDWGDAS. BEG seems to be going that route too which is cool with me as it opens up a slot for hopefully some other lesser played tunes.

How was the show selling with such little notice?

Well considering Jimmy himself said he had a checkup and was then in the hospital I'd say that's pretty definitive it's medical.

Only 98 miles away. Very last minute but I'm going to try and swing it.

Lots of sites today saying Jimmy and the Eagles at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on May 13th. None of which I'd necessarily call trustworthy but it is out there.
