- God's Own Drunk and a Fearless Man
Ah! those were the days. Buffett was in top form on this concert album, culled mostly from a 1978 performance at the Fox Theatre. He always knew how to get an audience into his songs, and here he has the playful banter to go along with the songs you should know by heart if you are a Buffett fan, ranging from "A Pirate Looks At Forty" to "Margaritaville." But, it is the extended version of "God's Own Drunk" which stands out on this album. Although I've been told, Buffett later had some legal wranglings over the song, which is why it doesn't appear on "Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads." For me, this is the CD set to get, over 100 minutes of Buffett live and unplugged, playing off a raucous crowd and loving every minute of it. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful:
- 3 Mediums of Music
The mark of any great release is when you buy it as different mediums come out. I first bought this on album. And it was great! But I wanted to listen to it in my car, so I bought the cassette. And I've had this release in cd for almost forever now.
Whenever the world stressses me out too much, I'll put this cd in. Suddenly, I get the urge to go to the beach, wear flip flops, eat oysters and enjoy a cold beer. Or six. I want to smell coconut butter sun tan lotion and feel the salt air against my face. I want to put on an old bathing suit. I want to taste rum. "You Had To Be There" puts me in a great mood!

- This is thee Buffett concert album.
Far superior to his Feeding Frenzy concert CD, You Had To Be There is the quintessence of Jimmy's concert experience. Classic versions of "Margaritaville," "Changes...," and "Pirate," are interspersed with other great songs and stories. Much rawer in content, this was Jimmy at his best. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
- An absolute MUST have for any Buffett fan!
Yes, this cd is kind of pricey, BUT it is WELL WORTH THE $. Your Buffett collection is not complete without this cd. If you're going to be stranded on a deserted island with just a cd player and one (okay, two) cd(s) to have, THIS is THE one to have! If you ever, or you've never been to a Buffett concert/party this cd will bring back the great memories and make you wish for next summer to see Jimmy & The Coral Reefers again! All the songs are superb. "God's own drunk" and "Grapefruit (juicy fruit)" are classics. Great versions of "Margaritaville" and "Son of a son of a sailor". |
