Cubs Website Covering ‘Live At Wrigley DVD’

July 26th, 2006

The Official MLB website for the Chicago Cubs has an article on the Live at Wrigley DVD entitled “Parrotheads Rejoice.”

“You always find time for baseball,” Buffett said recently in an exclusive interview with MLB.com. “I think probably a day at the park with my dad was one of the great influences on me in trying to get a job where I could get a balance of work and play time. And it was lucky enough that it worked out that way.”

Luckily for Parrotheads, Jimmy Buffett — Live At Wrigley Field has it all covered. The two nights of concerts at the 92-year-old ivy-covered ballpark marked the first concerts in the yard’s well-documented history.

And to borrow a phrase from the most famous Cub in history, “Mr. Cub” Ernie Banks, “Let’s play two.”

The double-disc set is approximately 2 hours, 45 minutes long and contains 26 songs, plus bonus footage and some surprises.

July 18th, 2006

Billboard has an article on Buffett’s Live at Wrigley DVD which comes out August 1st.

Less than a year after releasing the CD/DVD “Live at Fenway Park,” Jimmy Buffett will release a two-DVD set chronicling a stop at baseball’s other pre-eminent shrine: Chicago’s Wrigley Field. “Live at Wrigley Field” will arrive Aug. 1 via Buffett’s own Mailboat label.

The DVDs will contain 26 songs from Buffett’s two-day doubleheader at the 92-year-old home of the Cubs, culled from two September 2005 shows. The set includes covers of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days” and Steve Goodman’s “City of New Orleans,” performed by Buffett and guitarist Mac McAnally from the bleachers, as well as ukelele virtuoso Jake Shimabakuro’s pre-show version of the national anthem.

Also included are backstage extras, footage of construction of the centerfield stage and a handful of bonus features. The release marks the first time a full-length Buffett concert has been available on DVD.

Update: Although not mentioned in track listings, Buffett’s performance of “Glory Days” will be included on Live at Wrigley Field as a bonus cut.

Buffett Does Duet For Little Feat

June 2nd, 2006

The Star-Ledger has an article on Little Feat that mentions that Buffett has recorded a duet for their new album:

Murphy says the band has been working on an album that would feature new versions of old Little Feat songs with guest singers as well as new material.

She revealed only one duet partner: Jimmy Buffett, at whose Key West studio the album’s basic tracks were recorded. But she promised the album will be “a big free-for-all, like Jimmy’s last record (the 2004 guest-filled ‘License To Chill’).”
