Saturday, June 18th, 2011 will be remembered as an immortal day in Boston history. The Bruins’ rolling rally drew 1,000,000 fans into the city for a day of festive celebration. An equally huge celebration started at 11 AM in the parking lots of the Comcast Center. Such is the case when Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers come to Boston. Walking around the parking lot at the show it seemed like a cross between a Key West trailer park and a family reunion. Jimmy’s fans, often called “Parrot Heads” are about as close as family. People moved around from tailgate to tailgate as if they saw a distant uncle or an old friend, and proceeded to take a dip in a a kiddy pool, or indulge in a cheeseburger. Above all, however, they drank. They drank frozen margaritasandLandshark Lager, Jimmy’s signature brew. When it finally became time to file into the amphitheater some die hard followers had been in the lot for 9 hours, and it’s a pretty safe bet to say they were going to have a great time.    Jimmy first walked out on stage at around 8:15 PM. The 64 year old career entertainer had dawned a custom made Bruins t shirt and seemed delighted to begin the summer portion of his tour. He referred to the Comcast Center as “Greatwoods”, it’s original name, and personally introduced Llo Ferriera, who played a pleasant 3 song acoustic set. After a 5 minute break that saw some fantastic t shirt cannon work from his crew, Jimmy and the whole band took the stage. After saying a few words about what a great night this was going to be, they started with the classic “The Wino And I Know”. Buffett then played to the crowd’s collective Bruins fever by singing special lyrics to “Boat Drinks”, inciting “WE GOT THE CUP” chants throughout the crowd. The highlight of the evening was the 5th song in the set, a cover of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl”. The crowd was fully invested in the classic, singing every word and jumping up and down (following Jimmy’s lead) during the thunderous choruses.    The set mellowed out a bit after that. Mac McAnally took the lead vocals on “It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere”. The Coral Reefer band played spot on throughout the night, and Jimmy seemed to be enjoying himself as the list went on. The greatest element of the show is how everything, from the Landshark Lager being sold at the concession stands to the picket fence stage setup was meant to transport the audience to the places that inspired the music they were hearing. At times, especially during “Son of A Son of A Sailor” and “HavanaDaydreamin'” you really felt as though you were on the ocean, or hanging out on some Cuban beach. Few acts have ever had such a solid concept of what they want their show to be. Jimmy helped to convey the beach feeling by playing dressed in swim trunks and in bare feet. Jimmy crafted his set to include all the classics. “Cheeseburger In Paradise”, “Volcano”, and “Margaritaville” were all met with a warm reception from the loyal crowd. The 27 song set featured 2 encores, the second of which was a solo performance of “He Went To Paris”. This was drastic change up from the upbeat steel drums and crowdsingalongs that had defined the night thus far. This was a melodic, powerful folk song from Buffett’s early days, 1973 to be exact. The crowd was extremely moved by the performance and everyone left the marathon show satisfied. The only question remaining was: was the party ever going to stop? Well if the Welcome To Fin Land Tour comes by again, you can bet it’ll start right back up.
