it was Coral Sky...I've seen him there twice. Enough WEED being toked around that joint to get folks stoned a mile away.
Best place you have seen Buffet in concert? For me...
- Thread starter RRtrackdawgson
- Start date
Vegas for me but I have only seen him in Vegas and Denver. Would love to see him in an outdoor venue in Florida. This week he is in Orlando Thursday and Tampa Saturday.
Probably Irvine Meadows in SoCal. They used to allow all day tailgating and things got pretty crazy. I don't remember a lot of thsoe shows, but think we had a good time.
He is playing a Jazzfest. I believe the second weekend. However, I, frankly, do not understand his popularity outside of listening to him while drinking Bud heavy at an ice house. More or less on the same level of David Allan Coe for me.
I'd go see David Allan Coe if he was in town, but I wouldn't say it's on the same level.
More like John Denver. Some people loved him, some people just didn't understand why anyone would go to his shows.

I enjoy listening to him on the boat, at the beach, or while driving around on a nice day with the roof off of the jeep.
The only time I've seen him in concert was at the Ice Palace in Tampa 10 or so years ago; fun show, basically just a big beachside cocktail party without the beach.
Would've loved to have been at the show in Anguila 8 or 10 years ago.

Irvine Meadows in the early 90's was incredible....saw him at The Hollywood Bowl in 91 or 92 was a pretty special show as well
So a bunch of soccer moms getting hammered and flashing their yabbos for beer a tacos and you don't understand the draw?
Damn, I better buy some tickets.
I saw him at the Hollywood bowl sometime around '94-95. Was a funny show. Was out visiting my folks and they thought it would be fun to buy tickets. Naturally I ended up going in stone sober, but this elderly couple sitting behind us keep feeding me jello shots all concert. My mom had no idea they were filled with booze, she couldn't understand why I would accept jello from a stranger.
I checked the Jazzfest schedule and he will be playing when I'm over there. Interesting choice: Buffett or Tony Bennet & Lady Gaga or PitbullOriginally posted by BelemNole:

Ha! Valid.

Pitbull, there is an artist I can't understand. Other than being a personality, I'm not sure what he does. I've been completely underwhelmed by every performance of his I've seen. The stuff for NYE was unwatchable.

Fiji, we have one of our CLE programs going on in NOLA W-F and a number of attorneys stay through the weekend for JazzFest because we get our room block rate to be valid through the weekend. ON Sunday go to Pitbull for the eye candy and Buffett for the beer drinking.

Headed to his concert in Tampa this weekend. Will be my first buffet concert. Can't wait!

1985 (7th Grade) -- at Miami Marine Stadium. We went as a family on our boat. GREAT experience. Too bad the venue is a waste of space now.
I've seen him numerous times since then at various South Florida concert venues, but that concert at Miami Marine Stadium was one I will never forget.

He came to Tally when I was in college. It was the first and best time I had at one of his concerts. I lived on W. College about 2 blocks from the civic center and the prices hadn't gotten stupid.
The last time we went will likely be the last. We went and saw him in Jacksonville and I crap you not 4 margaritas cost $48. Tix were about 80 each and we were on the side with a crappy view. It was a thousand dollar weekend and not that great of a time.

hmmm...I've seen him 3 times. Twice at the amphitheater in Atl...Hifi was the name then I think...don't really remember.
And I saw him in Tally back in 2003...somewhere around then, mayb3 2002 or 01.
Can't say one was better than the other...HOWEVER.
I worked with Capt' Tony's daughter in Tally (he had like 15 kids). Capt Tony was at that show and I sat with him and his daughter Josie on the 20th or so row. When he sang Last Mango in Paris he pointed out Capt Tony in the audience. I try to help Tony make his way to the front and almost knocked him over and killed him....he was like 80 something at the time and my blood alcohol level was close to the same. I'm so glad he didn't fall...holy crap that would have been bad.
So he told us tons of stories and what not...the dude was a real life bad ass. pretty cool.

The price of alcohol at concerts/sporting events is horrifying. Went to Eric Church at Amalie in Tampa a few weeks ago. "Double" liquor drinks, which were singles at any normal bar, were $19. The mark up is unreal.

They often provide dinner as well at private gig.....Particularly funny cause I parked cars in Pam Beach to pay for college.Originally posted by Fijimn:
You are able to watch the concert while parking cars? Didn't think they let the help actually watch...
He played on the steps of the old Capital last week promoting the buying of land south of Lake Okeechobee for the Everglades.
Does that count?
