John Young of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has written a review of Buffett’s Tuesday night concert:

Performing at the Post-Gazette Pavilion Tuesday night, Jimmy Buffett warned parents who brought their children to the show that he was about to play his raunchy chestnut “Why Don’t We Get Drunk (and Screw).” Except Buffett introduced the tune as “Why Don’t We Get Lunch (at School).” And sang that revised refrain throughout the song.

Even as Buffett hyped “Hoot” by performing the soundtrack song “Floridays” and running a between-set video of the film’s “Good Guys Win,” he couldn’t resist trumpeting what he felt was a subversive musical move. He noted that his cover of “Werewolves of London” is “only in the movie for about 20 seconds,” but felt that placing a cover of Warren Zevon’s great surreal hit in a film for children proved a triumph of sorts.

PART 5 of Video — BUFFETT AND BUFFETT SINGING

This was a clip with Tom Brokaw sitting in between Warren Buffett and Jimmy Buffett. Warren had a ukulele, and Jimmy had his acoustic guitar.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune conducted a length interview with Buffett about his performance at Jazzfest. Below are some excerpts:

“The first time I talked about it with (Jazzfest producer) Quint Davis was at the “From the Big Apple to the Big Easy” benefit in New York in September. It came out of the emotions stirred up by that concert. Little things like going to rehearse with Allen Toussaint’s band and the guitar player didn’t have a guitar, because it got washed away.
