Winning.

First - August 19, 1998 - Camden, NJ
Last - June 14, 2008 - Philadelphia, PA
Most Memorable - June 5, 1999 - Camden NJ

Saw Jimmy a total of five times, four of which were at Camden, the last two (not listed above) being sometime within a year or so of the Philly show I listed. The 1999 show is my most memorable just because of our time in the parking lot. I was also designated driver that year so its easier to recall. My last three shows I was sober and with my wife so they were a little less “crazy.” The 2008 show at Citizens Bank Bark (can’t believe that was 18 years ago!!) is cool because the performance of “Defying Gravity” was used on the “Encores” album. Was a weird place for a Buffett show. He had the place packed, but I’d rather be on the lawn at Camden. I’ll always remember this group of college aged guys sitting a few rows before us. They partied a little loo hard before the show and ended up being passed out though most of the concert. It poured for a bit during the show and they the slept through all of it.

My first show was in 1980 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md.
My last show was in 2011 in Paris
My favorite was probably December 10, 1989 at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. Just Jimmy and Mac, with a special appearance
By Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes who came out and delivered pizzas to the audience.
I saw Jimmy well over 100 times through the years, and while my first and last can never change, my favorite changes from time to time.
I just feel so fortunate to have started listening to and seeing Jimmy Buffett at a relative early time. I miss that guy.

I so wanted to make a Paris show. Bummed I never got to. I had tickets to a Dublin show I couldn't make, but then made another one. And that's something. But I speak passable French and so wanted Paris. I'm glad you got to go.

Thanks. I was just impressed that I was able to order shots of Jameson’s at the venue!

Great question...

First show was summer of '77 as a college Sr at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia MD. I have forgotten the tour name

Last show 2009, Summerzcool Tour at Nissan Pavillion in Bristow.

Many shows in between those years, and I would only say the Summerzcool was my favorite because it was the 1st JB show my wife of 43 years (and still together) saw , I have a wonderful memory of her standing at her seat and dancing to the opening song, Lage Nom Ai. She loves to dance and had so much fun that night.
