Jimmy Buffett Tickets : "one Particular Harbour" Is Played For Women And Men Wearing Hula-skirts

Aside from his career in music, Buffett is also a best-selling writer and is involved in two restaurant chains named after two of his best known songs, "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville". He owns the Margaritaville Cafe restaurant chain and co-developed the Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant concept with OSI Restaurant Partners, which operates the chain under a licensing agreement with Buffett.

"Fins", mostly performed during the first encore in recent years, is always preluded by the Jaws theme as a teaser, which gets the fans pumped. Buffett calls out to the Parrotheads, or "land-sharks", to get their "fins up"! The fans raise their hands in the air, in the manner of a dorsal fin, and wave it left and right.

"Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" usually has a video of local parrotheads in the arena/venue parking lot playing over its performance. "Why Don't We Get Drunk" is sometimes performed in a different style ."One Particular Harbour" is played for women and men wearing hula-skirts. "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" is performed with Mac McAnally taking Alan Jackson's place.

The band will also often throw in references to and skits about the actual venue they're playing to please home town fans. As an example, when Buffett and the Coral Reefers performed at Fenway Park, Boston, in September 2004, they added a performance of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" featuring Dr.
Charles Steinberg on organ, segued "Why Don't We Get Drunk" into Red Sox favorite "Sweet Caroline", and attempted to reverse the Curse of the Bambino.

Buffett will sometimes kick the tour off with an obscure opening cover song. A Salty Piece of Land '05 opened with Little Feat's "Time Loves a Hero"in South Carolina, and Bama Breeze '07 opened with Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" for the majority of the 2007 tour. When a heavy thunderstorm descended on the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, VA, on June 28, 2007, Jimmy began his show by riding a tricycle on stage and opening the show with "Singin' in the Rain".

Since "Why Don't We Get Drunk" has been knocked off the standards list, there are only nine songs played at almost every show in recent years. However, neither Buffett nor the Coral Reefers have ever used the term "Big 9" for the new line-up.
This list doesn't necessarily mean that those songs have been played at every show. "A Pirate Looks at Forty" was not played during the George, Washington '92 show."Cheeseburger in Paradise" was excluded from two setlists during the 1998 tour.

"One Particular Harbour" was left out of 11 shows during the 1997 tour,not to mention every show during the 1988 & 1989 tour. "Why Don't We Get Drunk" wasn't played at all during the Bama Breeze tour, and has since only returned to be played on an occasional basis. "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" did not appear during the opening Tiki Time '03 show in Houston.

Other notable songs that are played at almost all shows, but have been dropped on occasion, are "Son of a Son of a Sailor", Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" and Crosby, Stills and Nash's "Southern Cross". However, it's not unusual for these three songs to be dropped from a show, therefore they aren't considered a standard. The 2011 Summer Tour lead off in Tampa Bay on April 16, 2011. Although the "9" were played, a nice set list of some older music was worked into the mix.
