  • FINS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sorry,I give this 3 FINS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Jimmy is on my bucket list... havent seen him live.... YET..... but it will happen

  • It's friggin' cold outside, I've got a raging toothache, and this video can still make me smile!!!! Rock on Jimmy!!!

  • jerry started it jimmys getten it lmao

  • The dillio baby- jimmy at his finest. I still cannot believe my personal party called life is still going 49 years later.

  • I give this two fins up

  • Wow!!! Lump in throat and lots of memories as we travel down the P'Head Lane n a lil JB history!!

    Starting to miss summer already, but at least JB is coming to Denver this year!!

  • great video, thanks!!

  • Jimmy keep going every year for your "family". This song makes me cry every time I hear it since my own family has all fallen out and taken their own direction in life. It's a good tear though..........You've brought an amazing thing to all of our lives that live for that love the islands, life, peace and happiness!!!

  • MrsRBD..i feel the same way, tears and all, i've met so many cool people and it's so easy to get close to people during a show/tailgating. this is the only place i trust people before they tell me their name!

  • trying to answer my own question ... as to to who plays the fills , chops and slide on this song .... only person i can think of is sonny landrith ?

  • @markchansen it's more than likely Peter Mayer who was and still is Jimmys lead guitar player.....hes awesome and if you figure out the fills and slides and you feel like tabbing them let me know please...he also does an awesome solo in Southern Cross.

  • @chuckie316 and @markchansen

    Actually you are BOTH correct: Peter Mayer and Mark Knopfler did record some of those fills, although most of the slide work is in fact Sonny Landreth, who has seriously "rubbed off" his technique on Pete. Sonny has been Jimmy's "unofficial" slide lead guitarist, both in the studio and on the road for several years now.

  • please can anyone tell me the name of the the guitarist that plays the fills and slide gitfiddle ...... damn.... makes the tune just fly . JB is still the star but the back up is nutz

  • please can anyone tell me the name of the the guitarist that plays the fills and slide gitfiddle ...... damn.... makes the tune just fly

  • I miss home so bad. St. Augustine, Florida. This song reminds me of my days as a pirate re-enactor walking the streets of St. George, sharing beers and telling stories all while living the life so many enjoy or possibly dream of. thanks Jim for making it that much more fun. I so desperately miss me home.

  • It make'me feel like Im home RC

  • They always play this before every miami dolphins game.

  • He will be here in April!!! I've already got my tickets and parrot bay rum!!!!

  • I was in KW stationed at the Navy Base when this vid was shot. I remember Jimmy on the island , the local music guy making it big.. Was and still are a fan of the first 5-6 lp's.That's was his prime, I feel.. No grass skirts or cheeseburgers, just rum and smoke and good music..

  • If you've ever been to a Buffett show then 3:11 says it all.

  • Made me tear up too. And you are so right! We ARE family!

  • I'm with you mrs rbd...this makes me tear up too and makes me VERY ANXIOUS for the next show

    I have a question about the family part though...if you're groped by a fellow parrotthead is that incest???!!!! I'm hoping the pictures don't show up on the "coconut telegraph", it was fun though!!

  • Gotta get a job in key west, i dont care what it is i'll do it.. Just get me wear it's warm and the people are warm and i'll be happy..

  • @lcpd3311 Then KW is the place to be.. No other place like in in the Continental US I was lucky to have lived there for some time.. Waking up every day in Paradise was a blessing.. I visti there often but wish I could roll back time

    Viva La Conch Republic !

  • Buffetts the man! Cant believe I miss his tour this year. The first 1 missed since 96

  • like 100000000000000000x :) absolutely LOVE this song!

  • Jimmy makes any bad day or bad moment better. His songs are great but the experience that you have at the concerts...it is beyond words. You just don't understand until you experience it for yourself. Rock on Parrotheads!!

  • Tailgating.. the prelude to the end of a great time....

  • So Glad I'm a Parrothead!!!!

    Keep on Keeping on Jimmy!!!

  • Not from a Buffett song, but the following lyric pretty much sums it up - "We're all here, 'cause we're not all there."

  • One day I plan to resign with a splash; as my cell phone hits the water after being thrown from whatever beach I happen to be standing on even if it is Tierra del Fuago.

  • With our fins up and our feathers flashing... We learned to be cool from you, Jimmy.

  • here we are............... JB tonight baby~~~margaritaville comes to tampa!!!!!

  • Thank God I'm a Parrothead!!!

  • Has Jimmy ever performed this song in concert?

    He's had such a long, successful career because he knows if he had taken his loyal PARROTHEADS for granted, it might have been over long ago. He's the best enterntainer EVER!

  • Thank You for sharing this Song,Buffett is a True Poet in SongWriting..

  • 4/29/10... The 314.

  • Jimmy's coming Aug. 12th. Fins Up Yinzers.

  • JIMMY IS THE KING!!

  • one of the best songs by jimmy because he gives tribute to all his great loyal fans im 17 and i have been to about 10 concerts in the chicagoland area and yes we parrotheads are fuckin bananas rock on parrotheadds

  • I love Jimmy!!! I love Parrotheads!!! I love Margaritaville, whever the hell it happens to be!!

  • How has Jimmy Buffett ever been reggae? And he's had hits for going on forty years so he's no Vanilla Ice....

  • LUV U JIMMY AND U PARROTHEADS!

  • jimmy concert in toronto tomorrow!

  • rock on parrotheads!!!

  • @1PartyKidz1 lolWe are one big happy family are we not?

    Now if the whole world could have that attitude just think of how cool it would be..Imagine!

  • normal people? not at my jimmy buffett concert.

  • Haha I love it!

  • at least they aren't juggalos

  • This song and the video make me tear up. It is like Jimmy says "a family reunion" when you go to a concert, or meet other Parrotheads. We are family, even if we've never met.

  • I'm with ya. Very true statement.

  • todds memory

  • everytime when i watch such things i regret that i dont live in the usa. T_T

  • Cooler Heads Prevail....lol

  • I've grew up listening to Jimmy Buffett as a child and I have become one of the biggest fans and part of the infamous "Parrotheads". I love going to his concerts and I went to this year's concert in Frisco, TX and it was just as awesome as everyone I've been too, so I want to say........ROCK ON JIMMY AND PARROTHEADS LIVE ON!!!

  • we are going to see Jimmy tomorrow in Camden. whooo hoo, my 23rd show!!

  • nice

  • Yep, here we are... Everywhere. Does anyone know where I can apply for citizenship to the great nation of Parrottopia. I want to move to the capital, Margaritaville, and become a Margaritian. Jimmy for President in 2012... Hell, Jimmy for President now.

  • I became a parrothead, last summer me and my girlfriend scored tickets we were both 15. we will be Parrotheads forever

  • I'm going to my first concert on the 25th of June! I can't wait to become an official Parrothead!!!

  • he puts on a hell of a show be ready to party all day before!!

  • You will never be the same! Enjoy the show... Fins up ~^~

  • Welcome to the Phlock

  • I just went in Phoenix on Thursday nite...still smiling from all the fun, whoopin' and hollerin and singin

  • welcome to the addiction, if you like the music then you are done for to become one of us.

  • flora bamaq jama,,

  • I know I saw this at a Vegas show back in '00 or 01...gives me beer shivers!! Good stuff!!

  • what album is this song on?

  • The video was a bonus feature on "Take The Weather With You".

  • cooler heads prevail!

  • What an AWESOME video.....i love this guy, Hey Jimmy come to OZ....

  • Gives my chills every time. When I see this video live at a concert or on the tube.

  • oooh that was soo awesome...going to see him tommorow night! woohooo. we rented a full size schoolbus and had custom amde shirts, and all 27 of us are sooo excited. every buffett concert is better than the last! fins up!!!!!

  • I love this song. How can I download it? Any ideas?

  • its on itunes

  • ...and on the "Take The Weather with You" CD.

  • @miketheparrothead: That fact bothers me because I own the Take The Weather With You CD, but this song isn't on it and I really wish it was.

    Sigh.

  • @Lavinia44 Actually, I think the entire video and song are on the CD. Pop it in your computer and see if it auto-plays. It did on my old one.

  • @PaulUmbarger Didn't work - I wish it did, but it didn't. :c

  • @Lavinia44 Sorry to get your hopes up on it then. It worked on my old computer, running Windows XP. I couldn't up-load the video to the computer but, I could play it.

  • The best singer of all time in my opinion can never get enough of the great music he creates

  • Jimmy Buffett will go down in history as one of the best singer

  • NW oregon PH here!!!

  • Really good song, very catchy

  • Jimmy For President 2008

  • parrot heads rock i go to magaritavill every month

  • Hey 30 seconds into the clip there is a picture beside the guitar who is that?

    Great Video going his concert in San Diego can't wait

  • Only way to see jimmy is at Riverbend, Cinti. Ohio.....PARROT HEAD HEAVEN and forever the home of the real PARROT HEADS......

  • I'm a real Parrot Head and I don't live there.

  • Apparently if you're not in Ohio then you can't use Parrothead in all caps.

  • This just captures the feeling perfectly. Just saw JB at Citizens Bank Park in Philly on June 14; tailgated from 12:30 on; many trips around the lot to see the sights. Show was delayed 45 mins b/c thunderstorm, but when Bubba came on he played from 8:45 to about 11:15 without a break, followed by fireworks. Great setlist, closed out with "Defying Gravity," accompanied by a video tribute to Tim Russert. 61 and kickin' ass!!!

  • "we got parrotheads in center field,

    and landsharks by the case,

    i got cheesesteaks in my dressing room,

    AND THE PHILLIES ARE IN FIRST PLACE!"

    great show that was.

  • Is there anything better in life than a glass of rum and some buffett playing?

  • Not really. Except maybe having that glass of rum with jimmy buffett right next to you!

  • I've had 'Weather with you' for a year now and I just found this song on the CD last night!! Great song.

  • We need more fruitcakes, less bakers!

  • and junior mints!

  • Went to see Bubba in St. Louis awesome show!!! Thing is I can only find this song HERE... any help please.

  • It's a bonus on the last CD, "Weather With You."

  • Where is the song, how do I find it?? I have listened to that cd beg. to end and have not heard it?! I love this song!

  • You have to insert it into your computer or DVD player to get it. Not a track on the CD, but an embedded video.

  • i live this song and the video cant wait until July 17th in cincy

  • Great video! A little too drunk to appreciate it when they played it at the concert, imagine that.

  • P.H.C.O.E.M.

  • Don't get me wrong, I looooove Bubba, prob more n most (and maybe it's just me??)but.....I think this awesome concert footage totally deserves a new song! This one kinda makes me all blubbery and shit!

  • here we are! day before friday, well, that doesnt matter, cuz treatin' thurs. like a fri. is fun as well!!! Hope all you parrotheads have a fun and sunny weekend. keep it smart, keep it safe. FINS UP!!!

  • There's nothing like a bunch of Parrotheads getting together to listen to the music and Buffettry of Bubba!!! He has a gift!

  • After 25 years of being a parrothead last year I went to my first Buffett concert and I LOVED IT! Can't wait to go again!

    Love ya Jimmy

  • Mike.... mike why does that name sound so familiar. God... you must know my mother. Founder of the Southern California Parrot Head Club, former president of said club, as well as former "ticket bitch"?

  • A veteran of 20+ concerts/parking lot madness...this video captures it perfectly. I took my daughter to a Buffett show when she was 5, and I just took her again at 20. God bless Jimmy...

  • This video is an emotional rollercoaster. God bless Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers. Fins up!

  • I just love this video. Many have said it better than I ever could. Fins UP

  • I,ve been a lone fan in Brisbane Australia for 30 years and this video makes me wanna get to a concert over there b4 I die. I'll keep scratching those lottery tickets!

  • Good luck, you deserve it. All us US parrotheads are pulling for you... Who knows, maybe Jimmy will visit Australia one of these days!

  • Hang in there buddy JB is coming down under late in the 2007 concert tour.Fins up!

  • enough to make a grown man cry

  • Man everytime I hear that song I cry, now that I see it I cry and LAUGH!! I was at the Buckeye Lake concert..Took a boat to a bar then hitched to the venue. I saw the volacano burn and helped passed the shark. This is what memories are made of. Maybe if the Taliban went to a Buffet show, we would all stop fighting.

  • chyea

  • my dad luuuv jimmy buffet and my lulaby wen i was a baby was jimm buffets song to his daugther delany, i luv my daddy!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh...Bubba has a gift alright. Fins up!!!

  • This was my first Buffett concert i ever went to, from the lawn in Camden, NJ. I'll never forget it, especially seeing this video. Life's to short to be unhappy. Make the memories today, share them with your children tommrow, and let them make their own the next day. Thanks Jimmy for make us parrotheads who we are, and thanks Mike for makin this video. Brought back alot of memories like seeing you're friends hot mom in a white t-shirt jumpin on a trampoline being soaked w/ a supersoaker!!

  • Like others have said. Brings a tear to my eye, after been to 30 + concerts. Great tribute to the true fans. Shows that half the fun of a Buffett show happens out in the parking lot before the show. Thanks Jimmy, cuz "Here We Are!"

  • how do you rip the video from the cd?
