One Particular Harbour - Jimmy Buffett

[jekennamer]

My mom's friends came into the delivery room and played this song as I was born

[flkoolguy]

JIMMY IS THE MAN!!! I have seen him in concert twice therefore I can die happy.

[TheKdsrdg1207]

[Lana71744]

My One Particular Harbor....Long Key...with cold beer, cheeseburgers, amazing sunsets, and friends sharin' bullshit by the tub.

[macaroni1953]

Timothy B. from the Eagles Playing base next to Jimmy

[rayfordj1]

the best oph i've ever heard. I bought this on vhs around 95 at a Turtle's or something, def 85 live by the bay!!!

[rphillips111]

PyckledPyrate, you are right, and the concert appeared on TV, I saw it on PBS as a special, I think. Anyway, at the end of the concert among the credits, the concert was dedicated to Fingers Taylor, but that line does not appear in the credits on the Sony VHS tape released after the concert. Fingers Taylor appeared on stage and played.

Great concert, and this was the first time I heard this song.

[nolej]

Does the Marine Stadium still exists?

[toryspap]

Turtle Cove, Provo, Turks and Caicos.  That's one particular harbor.

[gondor420]

i guess for a while in the 80s buffet and his band were on blow. wasted away in cocaineville!

[sandysett]

Does anyone know where or when this concert was recorded? Is it even available still?? I used To have it back in the early 90's But it was recorded on a VHS tape back then for me so I dont know what what it was called but my youngest daughter would only dance to "Lets Get Drunk And Screw"

[PyckledPyrate]

@sandysett Live By The Bay @ Miami Marine Stadium 1985. Doesn't appear to be available on DVD. Used VHS and LaserDisc are out there however.

[sandysett]

Does anyone know where or when this concert was recorded?

[nicholer1]

[StripperPimp]

[cajuncin923]

[crickettttt]

I WONDER IF JOSH EVER FOUND HIS SUITCASE!!! LOL C

[glass509]

dude that steel drummer is bad ass as hell...what the fuck is that normal for someone to be able to do?

[Janice11353]

Ditto for moi aussie Jimmy! I think about all the fun I had in the Caribbean, and Yes I was so May West....

[DavidStep98]

My One particular harbor is in the Virgin Is. That was one of the best weeks of my life.

[jimmybfan]

[mobegone]

Is that Sam Clayton on congas? Remember him with Little Feat.

[TheCherchez]

[hauntedautumn]

Timothy B Schmitt is the bass player he is from the Eagles .I Can't tell you Why

[MrJmccarthy1]

IM A PARROT HEAD

[Hardstylefoorevahh]

@MrJmccarthy1 im a parrot head. delete the arr in parrot

[mybankey]

Great song!

[waltersfield]

Was that JD Souther on guitar doin the jig at the end?

[mountnhome]

@waltersfield I believe that's Mac MacAnally, but I am not positive..

[mountnhome]

@waltersfield I stand corrected. I was watching some of JD Southers stuff from this same era, and yep..I would say that was him. I had seen Jimmy many times in the 80's and early 90's, but never realized JD appeared with them. Nice bibs.LOL!

[eldridgebeaver]

I'm 60 and Jimmy makes me feel good too....fought in Vietnam with his brother-in-law. No age limit for Parrotheads...you either is or you ain't.

[fatbowlingguy1]

where and what was his in laws name im a nam vet and just love jimmy thank you for your service

[mobegone]

@fatbowlingguy1 Hey Bowling...His name is Tommy Slagsvol.  He was an MP at Vung Tau in '69-'70. I was in Phu Bai and DaNang with the 101st at the same time.

[gracemcraftlvr]

Jimmy and his music always help me feel better. Even though my friends think it's wierd. Cause I'm 13.

[samiam5150]

[513bigjohn]

@samiam5150 doesn't matter if your 16 or 60 FINS UP!!!!

[Grantrus71]

@samiam5150 Good to hear there are Parrothead youths!! Welcome to the Parrothead Nation!!

[mattk533]

@samiam5150 dude same here i am 16 and i love jimmy

[hellslostraven]

[fernleyguy48]

When times in my life looked looked like they were at rock bottom there was always Jimmy and his music. Now I listen to "A Pirate Looks at 60. God Bless you Jimmy !!!!!

[KauaiGolfer1]

Oh my God! I was at this concert! Miami Marine Stadium! Woo-hoo!

[spencermon]

I want this video on BluRay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Robyns1216]

OMG! Is that Peter Mayer with short hair? Holy cow!

[Ted68]

This was filmed in 1985, three years before Mayer joined. Actually, Mayer didn't so much as join, but his band, The PM Band, from Cincinatti became the Coral Reefer band. This lineup of Leo, Schmidt, Taylor, Betton, Malamed and Utley is Buffett's best band and was his most prolific era.

[lickiteslit]

Your comments are inaccurate. The Coral Reefer Band goes back to the "Son of a Son of a Sailor" era in the '70's. Michael Utley, Greg "Fingers" Taylor and those guys had already been around, broke up, and rejoined the band by the time this video was cut.

[mobegone]

That is Timothy B....former Coral Reefer bassist and now Eagle and Robert Greenidge on the pans.

[fishdaddy89]

i want to make love to this video...

[yadatalatura]

maybe one day ill be able to talk about the good times down in the carribean sunshine lol

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

scabies?

[21susan59]

Those pans blow me away every time. I bought one in Jamaica but never mastered it.

[ponchy53]

Is that Timothy B. Schmit, from The Eagles, playing bass? It's hard to tell without his long hair lol

[PVParody]

I LOVE JIMMY! FINS UP PARROTHEADS! :) im going to the concert in tampa. wow i wish i could've seen him in the 80s.

[SECgatorFAN]

Now thats always a great show. Anytime you can catch Buffett anywhere in Florida is the perfect recipe for a great night. Man, I'd love to see Jim in Key West. That woud be the freakin shit! I'm making plans for the Atlanta Show, but defenitely enjoy yours. Fins Up!!!

[scott12466]

Ooops, I just looked it from "Live By the Bay" in 1985

[scott12466]

This is from the video "You had to be there". You can't find it on DVD, but I got it on a laser disc.

[lancelot9402]

where was this concert? so many of his videos come form it.

[southernrockdrummer]

Man that guy can play the pans!

[southernrockdrummer]

You're obviously not a musician because they are often referred to as "pans"

[TankedPyrat]

That's hysterical.

[yellowandblues]

I went to Florida in 1988 with some grade school friends and we were twenty some.....it wasn't until we listened to the 1976 live tapes all the way home that I finally heard jIMMY....

[belitnakoff]

check out the classic, legendary A1A album from 1976 or thereabouts, the best is A pirate looks at 30!

[beansbuddy13]

I have loved Jimmy B. for many years, he's always a trip to hear and even better experiance his "party"!

[cully1947]

He thinks like we do. He reacts like we do. And he is a true poet. Harry Chapin and he are the absolute delight. I can only thank God there are sites like this. Luv u all

[PoisonApple7551]

ditto kindred soul

[44326625]

Jimmy is one of those guys who just get better and better with age. I never even listened to him, until about 5 years ago!! Now I'm a die hard fan. Going to a concert soon...

[runaway2307]

Jimmy rocks and his music is timeless..I have the dream job of working around these waters every day (Dinner Key, Coconut Grove) and I am blessed that the hurricanes of lately have not wrecked the place!

[jumpers62]

His music just makes me smile and think happy stuff

[wudy201]

man it makes me have to get back to margaritaville my favorite place in the world

[druidofold]

[thegrittykitty513]

anybody know the translation for the Tahitian?

[hoag1964]

The lyrics are... Ia ora te natura. E mea arofa teie ao nei. They translate to... Life to Nature. Love the Earth.

[01moochie]

Yes it is Timothy B. Schmidt of the Eagles And was filled at the Coconut Grove in Miami,and yes it is a great video.

[beckysmom11251]

Wow I would never have noticed that. Good observation. He sure DOES look different.

[nolej]

I used to have this concert video..I believe it was at the Miami Marine Stadium. BTW, IS the bass player Timothy B Schmidt of the Eagles? If is, he sure looks different with short hair.

[Jamie784]

Yep, tht is Timothy B. Schmit!!!!!

OMG! he looks so young in this video. Are we getting that old so fast. Years get shorter not longer. FINS UP !

[BMXbadboy352]

I love Jimmy Buffet, and have been a fan since I was a small child, I guess I can thank my parents for raising me not only around the beach, but also with having Jimmy on the cd player almost any time of the day

[PilikiAnn01]

Thank you for posting this video, I saw him in concert in Hawaii.  One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[RickpNE]

One Particular Harbor is one of my favorite Buffett songs, a GREAT party sing-a-long song!!! Buffett ROCKS!!!

[zachzod]

[juggalobob123]

i'm going to tampa for my honeymoon! i'm going to try and find the margaritaville cafe while i'm there. i can't wait!!!!!!!!

[TsurutaAJPW]

There is no Margaritaville in Tampa, it's actually located in Orlando's Universal Studios CityWalk.

[livlaughlovetheocean]

its cool how all the sailboats came i want my family to get one so bad!

[CadillacL]

I remember seeing the video on, i think vh1 & TNN when they had video shows. LOVE it. Thanks for posting.

[holycow1972]

[TankedPyrat]

It was released in 1986

[holycow1972]

Cool thanks...

I love schmit's voice...one of the smoothest..

[odie072096]

@holycow1972

Concert by the Bay, Miami in 1985, not sure what month.

[Southernborn761]

@holycow1972 Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles??

[BigSwitz98]

@Southernborn761

The same.

[scarletfire67]

@holycow1972 Jimmy got his big break opening for the Eagles on the Hotel California tour, show was in Miami marine stadium, stage is an island and it was 1984 or 85 memory fuzzy, but I was there on a tube floating in the water. Great show!!!!!

[Tomapella]

Man, this has got to be in my top 10 songs of all time. It makes me feel like a little kid every time I hear it. I've always wondered what the lyrics to the chorus meant.

[ckras]

Nature lives (life to nature)

Have pity for the Earth

(Love the Earth)

[afghantzi]

Of course I love the Earth.

Its where i keep all my stuff.

[shannon1959]

We are the people our parents warned us about.

[Lo0405Lo]

Classic! :)

[elmotheaxmurderer]

I'm so drunk!

God I love Buffet and Rum!!!!111

[iiawah07]

seriously

lol

what could be better

maybe weed and phish

but id rather have Captain Morgan and JB

[adayatheoffice]

I do agree but buffett is also good with and without rum. Phish is not so hot without weed

[iiawah07]

ya true that

[7775carlg]

is not buffet but buffett ok

[livlaughlovetheocean]

ya it is

[RedRabbit089]

All hail Jimmy Buffett. Truly one of the most underrated songwriters of all time. And WOW -- What an amazing preformer!!

I've noted several times that no live recording can do the magic of a Jimmy Buffett concert justice and I'm sticking to it. However, this video is awesome!!
