Review : Another great Labor Day weekend show, as always!! And for those of you who didn't see Club Trini...you missed an added bonus. Jimmy came out and sang Gravity Storm for the crowd. He came out in the Jimmy mask and was having a blast. An extra special happening on an extra special night.....

Review : This was the icing on the cake of summer. we arrived in the lot at 2pm and the party was the best parking lot celebration that i have experienced the entertainment to be had in the parking lot was endless even thogh our summer here in NE is not. I am from Maine and this is y first buffett show since 1981 Portland OR The volcano show right after MT St Helens blew. the show was filled with high energy. The energy level of the crowd at the blast off almost lifted me from the floor. Uncle John's and Pirate Looks at Forty were my high moments of the show although I don't remember any moments that weren't highlights. Thanks for keeping the positive energy flowing.

Review : The man played Volcano as his sixth song! Only Jimmy has the stroke and respect to play one his best loved songs so early in the show. What do you know it worked!! The crowed was worked into a frenzy and the party began. Clearly one of the best set-lists from the tour, Jimmy went out in style. Hey Jimmy, thanks for heading out to Massachusetts for the Labor Day weekend shows.

Review : For the 7th year an absolute blast-Great Woods parking lot is awesome-made my night when Jimmy sang "one Particular Harbor"-this was probably one of the best shows yet-and our cheeseburger cookies and friend made the big screen during the parking lot viewing during the show-that was definitely the best part of the night

Review : Jimmy introduced "Why Don't We Get Drunk..." by telling a story about a couple that got engaged at last year's Buffet concert and got married in the Tweeter Center parking lot at Saturday's show. This will always be remembered as their wedding song.

Review : I have been fortunate enough to see Jimmy 13 times at 4 different venues since 1992. This was the best! We arrived in the lot at 2pm and two whole section were already up and tailgating. The three first-timers that were with us couldn't believe their eyes. The creativity of Parrotheads never ceases to amaze me. I think Jimmy meant it when he said "You guys are the show, we're just the background music!" The Club Trini set was itself worth the price of admission. As was mentioned above, Jimmy showed up and did Gravity Storm and as he was leaving the stage, I got to shake his hand. (I bought Peter Mayer's new CD, Romeo's Garage, and I would highly recommend it.) As for the concert itself, the set list was excellent as was the energy level of the band and the crowd. Say what you will about the name change from Great Woods to Tweeter Center but I thought that the sound was better than ever and that's probably no coincidence. All in all, this was the perfect way to end the summer. This event had more than enough enjoyment to last through a long cold winter. Thanks, Jimmy.

Review : One of the best shows in my 10 years of attendance. Any live album MUST have the Jimmy and Nadirah version of SOASOAS. Also, Southern Cross and Brown Eyed Girl. Great Woods (I'm with you Jimmy), is still the BEST VENUE EVER for Buffett. Am I the only one who saw Jimmy's plane do a fly over of the parking lot 20 minutes after the show ended? What a treat.

Review : This was only my 2nd show(both at Great Woods, and i am from PA) . This year I brought my dad, who is a big parrothead. At 53, this was his first concert. Never in his life did he think he could have this much fun in such a large crowd of people. The video he took in the parking lot is amazing. (some of you may remember him as "Mike Brady" or "Weird Al" ) I got my picture taken with a man in the Jimmy mask (i pray now that it was him). I also saw the plane after the concert. I waved and said "good bye, Jimmy, thank you so much". (to my surprise now, it was him)The concerts get better every year. I'll definitely be back to Mass. next year.(the trip is worth the whole experience) I think my favorite song was "One Particular Harbour", since it is also my dad's favorite song. Thanks for a great show, Jimmy. See you next year for the Labor Day weekend show. Fins up!

Review : My second show in four days--AND THE BEST SHOW EVER! The day was filled with good friends, great times, and one amazing show. My first "Great Woods" experience was one that I will remember always...and I'm sure to be back next year...and the year after that...and the year after that. As long as Jimmy keeps doing it, so will I! This looks like the beginning of a beautiful tradition. All my love and luck to Noelle, Andrea, Linda, Corinne, Jamie, Greg, and everyone who helped make this the BEST Labor Day weekend in my 29 years on this big blue marble. PS: Jamie Maartens, we still miss you! FINS UP, Nautical wheelers! --Matt

Review : The best ending to the best summer in years. Jimmy was monumental as usual and the fans should take a bow. We showed 'em once again how to party without burning down the venue - did burn a few more brain cells and part of a grass skirt. Thanks JB for doing what you do, doing it for so long, and doing it so well. Looking forward to another album (sorry CD - guess I'm showing my age)and hopefully another year of touring. Fins up from Maine.

Review : Saturday's show was one of the best I have seen!! The band's energy was incredilbe - much better than Thursday night - and totally blew away both of the shows that I saw in the DC area this summer! (Maybe it has something to do with that NE air!!
) The first encore was icredible it was a real treat to hear Fingers sing on Johnny B. Goode. Only one comment, we get to hear pretty much every Reefer sing except Peter Mayer who is a vocal god! That would be the only thing that could have improved this show. I missed Jimmy's stint during Club Trini - but did catch the end of the set and they were incredible as always. You have to reconize how much talent is in that band and how much they all seem to TRULY enjoy playing. Of course, who wouldn't??!! I highly recommend catching the Peter Mayer Band if they are ever in your area!! A guaranteed good time and a group of incredible musicians. ( It think that Peter is getting scared of me I have shown up at so many of his shows this summer!) Thanks for another great summer!!! Fins WAY UP!!

Review : Great show as usual. I thought the changes in the set from Thursday to Saturday were very good. No sing along for Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit. Nice to see Ed Bradley on stage with his dog! All in all - crowd in parking lot very well behaved, very little interaction with authorities. Moderation and discretion were the keys! The Frozen Fins from Vermont were there in great numbers. Another summer ends with a traditional great weekend and Great Woods (er Tweeter?)

Review : We were at the final show on Labor Day Weekend. Who could ask for a better way to wind down a hot, humid summer in New England than with a Buffett Show. It started in February, waiting outside at 4:00 a.m. after a partying night anticipating getting Buffett tickets. It was cold and damp, but damn September 4, 1999's show made it all worth it. As usual, we were decked out in leis and grass skirts and had plenty of margaritas in hand. The pre-party in the parking lot was a great introduction for my Buffett-virgin husband. Once we got inside, the fun never stopped. Jimmy was great as always!!! He played some new and of course, the very well known and favorites. I thought it was one of the best shows of his I have seen. I am glad that Jimmy said he will return next year to Great Woods!!! The only thing I could wish for more is tickets to New Years Eve to LA. Who cares about Y2K?!?

Review : Unlike some of you this was not the best Jimmy Buffett show I have ever seen. It was great and there is no better way to end the summer than heading down to Mansfield for the "Labor Day Weekend Show" however, this show will not replace last years Carnival tour as my favorite. After it's deletion from the Feb Fleet Center show us New Englanders finally got to hear "Oysters & Pearls" live, beautiful song. Jimmy rocked with the energy of someone half his age and the addition of Ed Bradley and the wonder dog, Savanah Jane and Uncle John's Band made this a magical night.

Review : This was our 2nd show this week (Meadows on Tues) - I thought it was the best way to end the summer - "Uncle John's Band" made the night for us!!!! We had just been talking on the way in how great it would be if he played it!!! I definitely think some of this night's show should be on the live album!!! This was my 4th time seeing him this year -MSG in Feb, Today Show in May, Meadows and Greatwoods - they just keep getting better and better!!!!! The tailgate parties keep getting better and better too!!!!!!!!!! This year we arrived at 12 noon and then stayed at a hotel for the whole weekend!! Spent the day in Boston on Sunday - I had to go back to work to get some rest!!!! Have a safe and healthy winter everyone - see you next year!!!!!!! Cheryl

Review : Hi Phriends, My sister and I have been PH's for 7plus years now. We almost can't even remember how we got started. This was our 14th show if we counted right and both agreed that it was the best ever! There was more crowd energy, band energy than ever seen before. The highlight of the entire evening was "The Head". We have seen this young man at several concerts and phlockings with a large cardboard look-alike head of Jimmy on. We call him "The Head" and have chatted with him often. Well, last Saturday at Greatwoods I had my picture taken with him in the parking lot. When we went inside to see Club Trini, Mike Utley announced that "The Head" would sing a song with them. We were not even in the crowd close to the stage, we were twenty or so people back. Before he started singing, I looked at "The Head", I took a good look. I noticed the arms were a little too hairy for the kid I knew from the parking lot. The body language wasn't the same. There was something amiss here. I grabbed my sister by the hand. I charged the crowd, actually pushing people out of my way until we were in the second row. My efforts paid off. As you all know by now, it was Bubba himself. I have to apologize to anyone that I may have knocked aside. I do not like crowds, or strangers touching me, (no offense). I just do not know what came over me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Kris

I came from Colorado and sat in the second row center , as I always do, and Jimmy and I had a blast. I am truely blest to be able to share such a way of life that only Jimmy can teach. I send my best to him. Thankyou for the fun.

Review : This was our 2nd show this week (Meadows on Tues) - I thought it was the best way to end the summer - "Uncle John's Band" made the night for us!!!! We had just been talking on the way in how great it would be if he played it!!! I definitely think some of this night's show should be on the live album!!! This was my 4th time seeing him this year -MSG in Feb, Today Show in May, Meadows and Greatwoods - they just keep getting better and better!!!!! The tailgate parties keep getting better and better too!!!!!!!!!! This year we arrived at 12 noon and then stayed at a hotel for the whole weekend!! Spent the day in Boston on Sunday - I had to go back to work to get some rest!!!! Have a safe and healthy winter everyone - see you next year!!!!!!! Cheryl

Review : Hi Phriends, My sister and I have been PH's for 7plus years now. We almost can't even remember how we got started. This was our 14th show if we counted right and both agreed that it was the best ever! There was more crowd energy, band energy than ever seen before. The highlight of the entire evening was "The Head". We have seen this young man at several concerts and phlockings with a large cardboard look-alike head of Jimmy on. We call him "The Head" and have chatted with him often. Well, last Saturday at Greatwoods I had my picture taken with him in the parking lot. When we went inside to see Club Trini, Mike Utley announced that "The Head" would sing a song with them. We were not even in the crowd close to the stage, we were twenty or so people back. Before he started singing, I looked at "The Head", I took a good look. I noticed the arms were a little too hairy for the kid I knew from the parking lot. The body language wasn't the same. There was something amiss here. I grabbed my sister by the hand. I charged the crowd, actually pushing people out of my way until we were in the second row. My efforts paid off. As you all know by now, it was Bubba himself. I have to apologize to anyone that I may have knocked aside. I do not like crowds, or strangers touching me, (no offense). I just do not know what came over me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Kris

Review : This was one of the best shows I've seen yet. Jimmy always has let his music age with him. I came from Colorado and sat in the second row center , as I always do, and Jimmy and I had a blast. I am truely blest to be able to share such a way of life that only Jimmy can teach. I send my best to him. Thankyou for the fun.
