1978 CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE TOUR
 |
1978 saw Jimmy begin his own tour with the Coral Reefer Band, spending March and April playing along the east coast and diving into the mid-west for the first time. On May 1st, Jimmy broke his leg for the first of three times over the next year in West Palm Beach at a baseball game. June brought a California tour of which included a few shows opening for Jackson Browne in San Jose and Angels Camp, CA. August brought some Florida stadium shows with the Little River Band and the Stever Miller Band along with the infamous 3 shows in Atlanta and Miami which were recorded for the live album “You Had To Be There.” Jimmy then apparently took some much needed time off as no other dates have been uncovered for the rest of the year.
