1975 Acoustic/First Coral Reefer Band Tour
 |
1975 brought some big changes to Jimmy’s live shows. Beginning March 5, Jimmy brought a full version of the Coral Reefer Band on the road for the first time. The year began with more Acoustic shows featuring Roger Bartlett in Buffett strongholds like Philadelphia and Atlanta. Once the band started in March, Jimmy was able to bring his music to some bigger venues along with the normal stops. Jimmy also increased his festival appearances, appearing at a July 4th show at the “A Day in the Sun” event at Parade Stadium in Minneapolis, and the Wild West Music fest in Austin, Texas, were Jimmy was second on the bill to Waylon Jennings. Radio was once again used to increase Jimmy’s popularity as a KSAN broadcast from the Boarding House in San Francisco, CA occurred on September 10. Perhaps the most unique show of the year was a rare outdoor show in November at the USF Soccer Field in St. Petersburg, FL that saw Jimmy and the Reefers play through temperatures in the 40’s.
