Justin’s latest From Under My Lone Palm column is hot off the presses, and this month it’s a great writeup on the Beach House on the Moon Tour:

This month I decided to take a look back 10 years at the “Beach House on the Moon” tour. Personally, I’ve always thought this was an historic tour for more a couple of reasons, so let’s take a look at the tour and see just why it was so historic.

The “Beach House on the Moon” tour was of course named after the album of the same name. It was Jimmy’s first album of new material since 1996’s “Banana Wind” and also the first album to see significant contributions from Mac McAnally. When it was time to hit the road, Jimmy was also finally able to get Mac to become an official member of the band. Mac had been touring with the band on and off since 1996.

The set list was the same as recent shows except “Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit” was inserted in the Key West songs set instead of “I Heard I Was in Town.” “Grapefruit” was last played in Honolulu in February of this year.

The San Jose Mercury News has a review of last night’s Jimmy Buffett show in Concord, California: “Review: Jimmy Buffett in Concord”

Jimmy Buffett sees the big picture. He doesn’t let the little things – details that might drive other artists nuts – get in the way of entertaining an audience.

“There’s a string out of tune on this guitar,” the 62-year-old singer-songwriter said during his concert Tuesday at the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord. “But it doesn’t matter because we are going to play `Margaritaville.’”

He was right: It really didn’t matter. His loyal fans, affectionately dubbed “Parrotheads,” were going to sing along happily to this song whether the instruments were in tune or not. That may say a little something about the level of intoxication of the crowd, which kept the beer and margarita vendors hopping most of the night, but it really speaks to Buffett’s amazing degree of self-awareness.
