Jimmy Buffett And His 'under The Big Top' Tour
Jimmy Buffett's Under The Big Top Tour begins Feb. 20 in Jacksonville, Florida and is scheduled to end Sept. 4 in Bristow Virgina.
This is Buffett's umpteenth tour of North America and it's supporting his latest release, "Buffet Hotel." That's not a misspelling. "Buffet Hotel" is the name of a hotel in the landlocked nation of Mali. Buffett discovered the hotel on a recent trip to West Africa.
Highlights of the 'Under The Big Top' tour include a pair of Jimmy Buffett concerts in Mansfield, Massachusetts, two Buffett concerts at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey, and a Jimmy Buffet show at the Nikon At Jones Beach Theatre in Wantagh, New York.
For those who have never had tickets to a Jimmy Buffet concert there are a few things you need to know before you attend. For those who have attended a Buffet concert here are all the things you "can't remember."
First, and foremost, Buffett fans are called "Parrotheads." Young fans, or Parrothead offspring, are called "Parakeets." The term originated in 1985 at a Jimmy Buffett concert in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was actually coined by Timothy B. Schmit, than a member of the Coral Reefer Band and now a member of the Eagles.
Buffett is lot like the Grateful Dead and Phish in that he's a touring act. It's better to see him live than listen to his albums on an iPod. However, Buffett is 63-years-old and sings about drinking, partying, and drinking. In order to keep himself above ground, Buffett has adopted a performance schedule that only includes Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
There are exceptions to this rule. In May, Buffett has a Saturday night concert in Noblesville, Indiana at the Verizon Wireless Music Center. Then he performs Monday at the Riverbed Music Center in Cincinnati.
Nonetheless, if you want to see Buffett in concert keep your Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights open (as well as your Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday mornings).
The "Big 9" is a term used to describe the nine songs Buffett usually plays at his shows. Now this doesn't mean that when Buffett performs in Columbia, South Carolina for example he'll play all nine of these songs, but chances are very good (at least historically) that you'll hear the following...
1. "Margaritaville"
2. "Come Monday"
3. "Fins"
4. "Volcano"
5. "A Pirate Looks At Forty"
6. "Cheeseburger in Paradise"
7. "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes"
8. "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere"
9. "One Particular Harbour"
Keep in mind that neither Buffett nor the Coral Refer Band uses the term "Big 9." The term is completely the construct of Parrotheads.
Other things to be prepared for at a Jimmy Buffett concert: he will often start the show with a cover song; sometimes he plays a song that has a local tie-in (for instance he played "Sweet Caroline" at a show at Boston's Fenway Park); the second set usually begins with slower songs; and the band is usually introduced sometimes in the first encore.

Is there a certain place in Fenway Park where you can get autographs before and after a game?
I might go to Boston for my birthday and i was wondering where i can get autographs before and after a game. Where do is the visiting teams bus located and where do the boston players park. Is there a hotel where the visiting team stays.
If you go down by the dugouts they might sign some things. I was at a game against the Rangers in August and sitting a few rows behind the Texas dugout. It looked like some of them were signing fans' stuff. I can't remember if the Sox players were but I think they were.
