I am a Parrothead. If you are a Parrothead, you will understand the mindset. I have been to concerts in four states and the differences in the way people respond is incredible. At Riverbend in Cincinnati, Ohio it is impossible to keep the people contained. Jimmy sold out five shows at Riverbend in less than two hours. The previous record for anyone at Riverbend was four shows and that took quite a while longer to sell out. The audience in Indianapolis was a bit more restrained, but they still got into the show pretty good. The show at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland was fantastic. The audience went wild. Not so in Las Vegas, where Jimmy played one show at the Thomas & Mack Arena. It didn't even sell out. But that's Las Vegas - its weird there. People will pay $80 to see Siegfried & Roy perform dubious magic, or $30 - $90 for any of the other shows, but Jimmy Buffett doesn't seem to entice them. It's their loss - it was still a great show.
If you can get to Key West, Orlando, New Orleans, or Charleston, do yourself a favor
and visit Jimmy's Margaritaville Cafe. It has everthing the average parrothead could
possibly need. Below are some pictures from one of my visits to the Orlando
Margaritaville. These are thumbnails, so click on them to see the full size picture.
