Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will perform tonight at Pizza Hut Park in the northern Dallas suburb of Frisco. It’s the fourth year in a row that Buffett has played the minor league soccer stadium that has some of the most liberal tailgating rules on the tour. Some fans have been tailgating in the parking lot since Friday morning.

As always you can watch the soundcheck streamed live on Ustream starting around 3 pm CT. Then be sure to tune in to Radio Margaritaville at 5 pm for Miles Hampton’s Beach Party, a Buffett Buffet at 6, then pre-show festivities continue until Jimmy takes the stage shortly after 8 pm CT.

This is the last show of the second leg of the tour. Buffett and the band will be off until June 17th when he hits Mansfield, Massachusetts.

The Houston Chronicle has a review of Thursday night’s Jimmy Buffett show in Houston: “Jimmy Buffett brings good times to Woodlands Pavilion”

Jimmy Buffett sized up his audience, bursting at its seams from the front row to the last blade of grass on the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion lawn, and saw astronauts and doctors and cheerleaders and loony dads dressed in grass skirts and coconut bras. And kids.

“That’s how I see Houston,” he laughed. “Einstein … and beer. Everything in the middle is up for grabs.

“And thank you for raising your children with this music.”

Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band played 26 songs over two hours on a hot, sultry, clear, starry Thursday night. Beach balls were flying, the beer was flowing, and, thank you Harry Belafonte, the dancing girls were swaying to and fro. He brought the full Coral Reefer Band plus the taxi squad – 12 people onstage. Every person on that stage has been with the band for 20 years or more. Most of them more.

Cameras flashed shots of Space Shuttle astronauts and Houston Texans cheerleaders in the crowd. Not one ticket was left unsold, one beer undrunk, one T-shirt unsold, or one fan unsmiling. Buffett is a pure entertainer who delivers exactly what his audience wants. And then does two encores.

Notable additions to the set list this time included “Bank of Bad Habits,” “Elvis Presley Blues,” and “Tampico Trauma.” “Cowboy in the Jungle” was tonight’s final encore and Jimmy added a few new words along the way including “The Gulf is our ocean it does not belong to BP!”
