Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band kicked off The Party At The End Of The World Tour with a show at the Cricket Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday night.

Buffett is doing a new format this year where he will open the second set by featuring an album. For the Phoenix show, it was Fruitcakes. JB played Uncle John’s Band, Delaney Talks to Statues, She’s Got You, and Everybody’s Got A Cousin In Miami.
