Busch Stadium Wanted Buffett

March 16th, 2010


STLToday.com revealed today that Cardinals ownership hoped to lure Jimmy Buffett to play a show at Busch Stadium this year:

St. Louis Cardinals vice president Bill DeWitt III said concerts are the biggest way to drive additional revenue into Busch Stadium.

“It’s a goal of ours to have one big show a year. But it takes two to tango,” DeWitt said.

“If you have more than one stadium show a year you’re doing well,” said Gary Bongiovanni, editor of Pollstar. “If you have three or more, you’re doing exceptional.” The stadiums have such a large capacity, they are hard to fill, he added. Giants Stadium in New York is one notable exception.

It takes a special kind of act to book Busch Stadium, DeWitt said. They have to be able to fill the majority of the space and have to be willing to play an outdoor show. But most importantly, “the tour needs to be flexible enough to fit into our baseball season. All those things have to be in place. There just aren’t that many bands out there that fit the bill.”

Jimmy Buffett also was considered for a Busch concert, but he preferred amphitheaters over stadiums for this tour. He’s coming to Verizon Wireless Amphitheater next month.

Buffett will play the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in St. Louis on April 29th.

Summerzcool Moves Back to Florida

February 25th, 2010


The big show moved back to Florida on Thursday night as Jimmy and the band continued the last session of the Summerzcool Tour with a show in Orlando, Florida.

Returning to Orlando for the first time since February 8th, 2007 at the same venue, the set list once again featured a few Florida treats. The first few were in the first set as Jimmy brought back “License to Chill,” “Window on the World,” which was once again dedicated to the astronauts aboard the space shuttle Endeavour, “Rhumba Man,” and “Fruitcakes” with plenty of references to the video that was shot in Orlando.

Changes in the second set included the biggest one of all. “Door Number Three” returned to the set for the first time since August 30, 2007 in Uncasville, CT. Other changes where in the first encore as “Nobody From Nowhere” and “Brown Eyed Girl” brought us a completely different one. Finally, Jimmy closed the evening by dedicating “Tryin’ to Reason with Hurricane Season” to Gamble Rogers and his memories of them traveling around Florida and Gamble teaching Jimmy how to be a entertainer.
