"Against my better instincts I bought this CD hoping that maybe Jimmy had gotten a little of the old spark back from the days before major disappointments like "Banana Wind" and "Beach House On The Moon". I should have listened to my instincts. "Capecodadgirl" and Jennifer from Phoenix are right on target. He's just mailing it in and laughing all the way to the bank like he has been doing since his last GOOD CD "Barometer Soup" and that was about ten years ago. I'm with you Jennifer. Give me any of Bill Jabanoski's CDs over this one. Buffett sounds about as interested in his performance as he is in his audience, meaning Not At All. What happened to you, Jimmy? You used to be great. Now you're more interested in being Jimmy Buffett the Fortune 500 Corporation than you are in your music."

Remembering the good old days...

"Jimmy, I can recall when it was a cinch to get tickets to Mansfield and get really great seats so I have to agree with Jennifer from AZ that it appears that you're going through the motions for the bucks. There seems to be little new inspiration in the last fews CDs and this one is no exception. To try to relive the magic of your live performances, it's impossible to get any *decent* seats to your shows unless you know someone that's a corporate sponsor. Please, please, please check with our friends, the Dead, and ask them how they run their ticket lottery. Decent seats most of the time, fair ticket prices, and the feeling that they really do care about their fans. I'm not even a Deadhead, but I miss the good old days when it was about your music, the party and the fans. Until things change, I'll still be listening to the 4-cd box set and some of the other good Buffett tunes in our collection."
