Recorded Wednesday, August 7 2013 (10:30 – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“Part One of the Detroit concert recap, starting off with the three concerts that preceded it and stories from the Detroit tailgate. (Special guest: Hud.)”
Mike wins the race. His copy of the new album showed up at around one:thirty PM.
 |
Update: Mickey got his CD at three:o’clock. (His mail always shows up late in the day.)
Mike’s most favoritest song on the new album is out on video. Exclusively from CMT.com, a week later than expected.
(Evidently CMT’s “exclusivity” has run out. The video now comes from YouTube, courtesy of Vevo and Margaritaville.)
My photos from the Detroit concert are over on Flickr. Schmoe has my camcorder (as planned) so I won’t have a tailgate video for a while. And, if you missed it, here are the photos I uploaded to Instagram during the day yesterday.
Pre-concert steak and lobster! #JimmyBuffettInDetroit

P.S.: by the way, MLive.com has some great fan-photos from the show. It’s fun to see the concert from so many different angles.
Had a slight palpitation when I saw an email titled “Important Show Information for Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band” in my inbox, but it was just news about tailgating today…

“The Boston Strong benefit concert, Lucy Buffett for congress, and ‘Margaritaville’ as the most lucrative song.”

Recorded Wednesday, May 22 2013 (10:00 – 11:30 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Gibraltar MI
“Mike is back from Florida, Mickey has highlights from the first leg of the new tour.”
00:57 – “Where was this?” The confusion is between, from right to left, Wood St, the I-75 north on-ramp, and the I-75 north off-ramp

00:59 – “Did they just hit a home run?” The Tigers were playing the Nationals. Detroit won 4-3.
04:10 – pretty Schmoe says “She just paused the juicebox” here
04:33 – the disturbance went on a lot longer than this. I saved you having to sit through it…and my humming
06:34 – Madeira Beach | Johns Pass
07:52 – Ricky T’s
08:18 – Kirk Adams
08:25 – Bus Fulla Monkeys
08:32 – Mike’s brother, Jimmy Auquier
09:00 – Conch Republic
11:15 – what Mike sent…

11:47 – Wild Time Caribbean
12:28 – Tim McGraw performed at Pine Knob on Saturday, May 19. (Link to Pitbull.)
15:04 – the episode, “Olelo Pa’a (The Prmise)”, was broadcast April 15, and was the twentieth episode of the season three
Here’s the April 16 email Schmoe mentions — but I think Mike’s confusion is because we did discuss the show together, but not on a recording night. “You dudes remember to watch Hawaii Five-0 last night? JB was back as Frank Bama. Steve McGarrett and his attractive female accomplice meet up with Frank at a remote bar in S Korea just as our hero is slamming a shot of snake blood and rice wine. Right after we see [its] preparation. Yum.
“This time the caper involves leading Steve and company to the border crossing between N and S Korea. Unfortunately, Frank’s aircraft is nothing but wreckage now. Seems it was brought down by ‘honey buzzards’ (whatever those are). So Frank drives them to the spot by jeep. Jimmy looked old and crusty, certainly by design, and showed some decent acting chops. Good stuff.”
17:29 – Joe Dante, on IMDb
19:26 – Breaking news: Jimmy announced on Radio M’ville, taking time from rehearsals for his Boston Strong concert appearance (Thursday, May 30), that the new album is coming out on August 16!
21:14 – “Morris’s Nightmare” is edited for time. Jimmy’s guitar is shrinking because he switched to a uke. I’m still trying to make out Jimmy’s scat singing; some of it sounds obscene. And I’m also wondering what the hell “in your heart and out your ears” means.
25:10 – “Buffett to perform at Boston One Fund Benefit on May 30th”, from Buffett News | “Buffett to Perform at Boston Benefit”, from Buffett World
25:19 – One Fund Boston
25:39 – “Radio Margaritaville to broadcast Boston Strong benefit concert!”, from Buffett News | “Radio Margaritaville to Stream Boston Strong Concert Live”, from Buffett World
25:55 – “Alpine Vally Show Confirmed for August 24th”, from Buffett News | “Alpine Valley Show is Confirmed for August”, from Buffett World
26:44 – 93.7 KLBJ: The Rock of Austin
27:57 – a time cut to a Volcano reference; then a time cut to a “Five:o’Clock Somewhere” intro
33:12 – read Jimmy’s favorite story at the Twain Library
35:05 – Hem Jeans, in Austin. (I could’ve sworn they were saying “Him”.)
41:00 – and thank you for confirming how to say You Had to Be There. Too bad Schmoe doesn’t listen to the podcast.
41:38 – Jimmy and Savannah on YouTube
43:13 – from the intro to “Knee Deep”, during the Frisco show
