Parrotheads Get Ready
Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer band will hit Tampa on April 16, 2011 as they work their way into the sunshine state with the band’s Welcome to Fin Land tour.Since Buffet lives in nearby Palm Beach, you know he’s likely to give Florida concert goers a little more than he might in other cities.And if Buffet stays true to form, concert attendees can expect a hefty set list of up to 30 songs and two separate encores. The nine songs that are pretty consistent on his set list that you’re almost guaranteed to hear are:
- Margaritaville (of course)
- Come Monday
- Fins
- Volcano
- It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere (minus Alan Jackson)
- One Particular Harbour
- A Pirate Looks at Forty
- Cheeseburger in paradise
- Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
Other hit songs that might be included are Son of a Son of a Sailor and Crosby, Stills and Nash’s Southern Cross. Buffet has toured every year since 1976 with the exception of (1981 and 1983) and already seems to have a tour dedicated to 201s titled the Sandwich Haven Tour.We’ll keep you posted if Florida is on the venue next year; but if you want to do some parrothead reading between now and then don’t forget that Buffet has three bestselling books available to keep you company on idle days: Tales from Margaritaville, Where is Joe Merchant?, and A Pirate Looks At Fifty.
