Jimmy Buffett Album: “Live in Hawaii”
 Description :
Personnel include: Jimmy Buffett (vocals, guitar); Don Ho, Henry Kapono, Martin Denny.
<p>Recording information: Waikiki Shell, Honolulu, Hawaii (2004/01/28); Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Kahului, Hawaii (2004/01/30).
<p>This live set was recorded in Hawaii, the only place that is possibly better suited to Jimmy Buffett's music than the stretch of Gulf Coast the singer famously calls home. And from the lei that adorns Buffett's neck on the cover of LIVE IN HAWAII, to the good-time music within, the overall vibe couldn't go more perfectly with palm trees, sand, and fruity alcoholic beverages.
<p>Although the set list covers much of the same ground as many of Buffett's concert albums, the favorites are here, along with interesting covers, including Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'." Duets with Martin Denny (there's a version of his "Quiet Village"), Henry Kapono (whose "Why Don't We Get Drunk" is performed on ukeleles), and Mr. "Tiny Bubbles" himself, Don Ho, add to the light, playful energy. This two-disc set, which also includes a 15-minute DVD, should put Parrotheads (as Buffett fanatics are generally known) in heaven.

- THE PERFECT RECIPE
Now that spring is at long last here, here's my Perfect Recipe for my weekend Bar-B-Qs,
1. Mix five full blenders of Margaritas. Put a couple of cases of beer in an ice bucket.
2. Fire up the grill with lots of meat ready to sizzle.
3. If you've got a five CD disc changer that does "random play" like mine does, get the speakers outside and put on
1. The first disc of this CD
2. The second disc of this CD
3. Jabanoski's "Key West Party CD"
4. Jabanoski's "Key West/Island Of Dreams"
5. "Key West Liz" O'Connors "Legacy of Love"
and REPEAT AS NECESSARY!
You and your friends will be in the tropics all day and night even if you are in Maryland like us or some other place where palm trees don't grow.
I've read alot of the reviews of this CD and eveyone seems to take it all so seriously. I get enough seriousness at work Monday thru Friday. What ever happened to just having FUN with great music made by great musicians?

- Same songs, Same JB, but great DVD . . . .
Yeah, it's just the same old Jimmy Buffett songs again here, but if you are a true JB fan, you'll love hearing this 2 CD set. However, this time, I bought the CD just for the 16 minute DVD, which was incredible. I just wish it was a little longer. The quality of the DVD is fantastic. It just doesn't get any better, unless they made it longer. Maybe some day he will put together a full DVD with all of his greatest hits. Until then, I'll keep buying his live concerts. If you like JB at all, you will love this "live" CD and special DVD too.
Aloha

- Buffett stays with what works
This is more Buffett same old same old. Made before his new hit CD "Licence to Chill" it revisits many of his old hits and does it in the same old way. Not a stand out hit!

- Two CD's and a DVD video to boot
Jimmy Buffett wrote in his "A Pirate Looks At Fifty" that he decided in his early professional career that "My talent lay in working an audience" and that his experience to that point "...had made me a performer...." That's what I get from "Jimmy Buffett Live In Hawaii; Jimmy Buffett is having a great time; the audience is having a great time. Want more---try Jimmy Buffett Live In Las Vegas. Of course, there's more, because he has become an icon in the music world to all his substantial and significant number of followers.

- Good addition to the Buffett collection
This may be very similar to the other live cds from the Tiki Time Tour, but for the price the differences are worth it. The dvd alone is a must have for those Parrotheads that must collect it all. Buffett is not the first to start releasing many live cds from the same tour. With bootleg concerts selling on ebay, some bands have decided they should get the money themselves. Can you blame them? I think its great. How cool is it when a concert is released that you were at?
