Jimmy Buffett Album: “Live at Wrigley Field”

For the dude who worries about grainy shots, a crew that doesn't test cameras, bad sound and kids in the audience...

The "grainy" shots are super 8 mm. It's an art thing. It's meant to give a home video (from days past home video) Saturday morning at the ball park feel. To capture a piece of that Wrigley history. You're seeing super 8 (park shots, audience), several show cameras and the blimp throughout. This is to give you a comprehensive view of the show. Again, to capture the moment. Not come off super slick. It's Jimmy, this great band, excited fans, a first-time show on hallowed ground and the overall unique experience of the venue with this band. Day time was intended to tie in the game/park history with the music. There were no accidents in the planning. In fact, a huge amount of work is put into each show, especially this show. To be over-produced was not the point.

5.1 and the sound in general. It's possible that you need a new system. It's there and much care was put into the full body as well as little touches of a live show.

Kids. Jimmy got famous for songs about binge-drinking, tattoos, rambling nights of random love, and all manner of debauchery. If mom and dad bring kids to the show, this is their decision. I think JB has actually remarked from the stage that he's surprised to see kids there but everyone is delighted that families come. It's up to people to do as they wish. No one is going to police fan behavior.

You're welcome to your opinion but the short sightededness of this review is amusing.

At last! A full-length Jimmy Buffett concert on DVD! It's been a while coming but this is a beauty. There are so many highlights it's hard to know where to start - perhaps the best place is the overall quality of the DVD. The sound is superb, the camera-work spot on and the real essence of a Jimmy Buffett concert is captured perfectly. The song mix is terrific - everything from Buffett classics like Volcano, to new classic like Piece Of Work, to iconic covers like Southern Cross. Seeing Jimmy and the Coral Reefers perform in daylight and night-time is a nice touch and the crowd shots show why a Buffett concert is such an all-encompassing experience! For me, a favourite moment is the concert finale of Steve Goodman's City Of New Orleans. Steve now resides under home plate at Wrigley and I'm sure he was singing along as well. Buffett fans and new Parrotheads alike will find this DVD one to watch many times over.

Great songs, good sound quality, only a little too much talking my Jimmy before each song.

One of the best live DVD concerts in my collection.

I was very pleased with this DVD. It was "almost" like being there. As a huge Buffett fan, and after seeing live shows over the past 7 years, I thought the DVD would be a nice "extra" to own. I was a little disappointed in the fact that there were not enough quality shots of the crowd during "Fins" and there could have been more "parking lot" shots. I guess that's just something you have to experience "live". Overall, a great addition to my Buffett collection.

Jimmy Buffet was never a wellknown artist in Europe, so I didn't know him or his music. Last year when I was in the States I heard him for the first time and I liked it from the first minute. This Wrigley Park Concert is heartwarming, southern music with a big influence of Caribbean sound. Fabulous!
