“Highlights from the end of the fourth leg of the tour plus a look back at the 1987 Pine Knob concert, as season seven comes to a close. (Special guests: Scott, Chuck, Jenna, and Danielle.)”
Warning: it’s a long one.
00:11 – U2’s Joshua Tree concert at the Silverdome was Thursday, April 30 1987 — their first stadium show
00:19 – you can barely hear him say it, but the concert Chuck is talking about is Sammy Hagar at Cobo Hall. He seems to have a Sammy Hagar fixation this show.
00:22 – I never said, but for the record, my first concert was the Detroit Pops playing music from science fiction movies at Meadowbrook; and my first rock concert was Loverboy at Pine Knob in 1981
01:17 – listen to the 1987 show we’ll be talking about
02:23 – I still have my ticket stub, but what we’re reading off is the LADI34T 1987 setlist page
05:46 – the video of which he speaks. I’ll withhold comment about him likening Parrot Head tailgating to Sammy Hagar’s crowd
07:27 – “Beautiful Swimmer”, as mentioned on Buffett News
07:59 – GAC TV.com’s George Strait interview
08:53 – New York Magazine‘s Blue Parrot write-up
09:20 – that came out wrong. What she said was that with her being from Texas, she’s very particular about guacamole.
09:32 – Press of Atlantic City.com’s write-up
10:50 – “[…] a compilation of live renditions of 13 tracks from his 1985 release, Songs You Know By Heart.”
11:38 – AV Club’s article on B-52s
12:06 – not to be confused with Something Awful.com
13:00 – the July 17 post at Scott Kenemore’s Zombie Blog
14:26 – Stub Hub’s Top 20 Rockin’ Cities
17:03 – Cleveland was not in the top 20
17:20 – I know: bugs have six legs, arachnids have eight. It was an attempt at a joke.
24:46 – the inevitable link to our waterlogged Episode 17
33:28 – Greg forwarded his sister’s photos to us on Thursday, July 16 2009:

43:34 – I took a stab at it, but the year was 1912.
44:30 – and here’s Schmoe trying on his vintage 1987 concertwear. I had my Cyber-shot for photos and Chuck took video with his cellphone:

45:41 – “Look confused”…
 |

48:41 – 2003’s Meet Me in Magaritaville I assume
50:31 – the Raven Gallery in Southfield, now the site of Sweet Lorraine’s
51:48 – Catherine Deneuve’s IMDb page
53:08 – “La Kenta” is off the 1987 Club Trini CD Jubilee. (Not, as I guessed at later, 1988’s Heat.)
58:49 – we figure it out at 63:12
61:01 – the “>1987 setlist page has file sizes noted, for download purposes. As far as times go: it’s 5:14 for the intro and 3:18 for the song
61:22 – once again, my concert notes can be read at the bottom of the 1987 setlist page
63:12 – what we should’ve been talking about at 58:49
67:23 – at Jones Beach, Wantaugh NY
From the Michigan marching band newsletter:
As the 2009 season begins, the Michgan Marching Band will celebrate the season opener “island-style” with Jimmy Buffett. The show begins with Margaritaville (look for the glass formation), continuing with Volcano, and ending with Fins and Cheeseburger in Paradise.
Musical arrangements for this show were created by former MMB Director, Jamie L. Nix, and long-time arranger, John Stout.
Next Week: Neil Diamond.
A sneak peek at tomorrow’s U of M halftime…
Straight from the lab, its reels still drying, here’s our tailgate video from Thursday’s concert. We start off at Schmoe’s Cantina, pay a visit to St Hedwig’s, drive up to Clarkston, meet up with Schmoe and Co again, encounter lots of Woo Girls, see another great show, and, ultimately, return to the cantina.
Thus…
In total, viewable at YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Vimeo and Viddler.
I uncovered this footage today and whipped up a new video to accompany the 1999 one. It’s not quite as polished as that one, mainly because I realized too late my camcorder was losing battery power — which explains the choppiness before the video ends.
Nevertheless, here’s a look at Pine Knob Tailgating 2000.
