Buffett Wraps Hawaii Tour Leg

March 19th, 2012


On Sunday night in Honolulu Jimmy Buffett played his second show in the Hawaiian islands in three days. The Honolulu Pulse has a review of the show:

Beach balls were bounced, marijuana was smoked, the skies stayed clear, and a good time was had by all last night as Jimmy Buffett brought his “Welcome to Fin Land” tour to Honolulu for two hours of tropical escapism under the stars at the Waikiki Shell.

“You people really don’t care about going to work on Monday, do you?” Buffett said, adding that partying at the Shell on Sunday night is “like starting next weekend early.”

Buffett had a good time with the fans last night. He noted the presence of a “parrot head fin baby” down front, said that the kid grew up he’d probably hate his parents for dressing him up like that, and promised that “we’ll still be playing when he’s 20,” even though, “we were never meant to last this long.”
