After kicking off last week, Jimmy Buffett’s Lounging at the Lagoon Tour continued on Thursday night with a show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The set list was largely the same as the Houston and Austin shows… with the exception of “Coast of Carolina,” which was last played in Charleston earlier this year.

Jimmy Buffett was back in New Orleans on Thursday night where he played an acoustic show with help from Mac McAnally and Sonny Landreth. The concert included the debut of a new song entitled “Serpentine”:

A new composition called “Serpentine” made its world premiere at Jazz Fest. It celebrated Mardi Gras with an ambling, bluesy arrangement: “Two weeks out of the year, it’s all about sin….count me in.”

The Times Picayune has a great writeup on the show:

Seated center stage, surrounded by an arsenal of stringed instruments, Buffett showed up for work barefoot, in shorts, a purple polo shirt, sunglasses and a baseball cap. At his side was Mac McAnally, a member of the Coral Reefer Band and an acclaimed country songwriter and instrumentalist. Lafayette’s Sonny Landreth, another frequent collaborator, alternated electric and acoustic slide on some songs; a percussionist also helped out.

With the Coral Reefer Band, he generally closes out a Saturday at Jazz Fest. There was far more available real estate at the Acura Stage for the unplugged, weekday Buffett show than last year’s fully amped, weekend show. He reveled in the change in latitude, if not attitude: “It’s great to be playing ‘locals Thursday’!”

Noting that “we’re playing a home game tonight,” he sprinkled his set with references to Werlein’s, Morning Call, Cochon, Frenchmen Street and his pal Sean Payton. “This is where it all started. New Orleans was my Paris before I got to Paris.”

It was Fin Land time again in Kansas City as Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band closed out the Welcome to Fin Land Tour at the Sprint Center on Saturday night.

The set list contained a few gems, including Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants and The Captain and the Kid.

The Kansas City Star has a review of the show:

Buffett last played Kansas City on April 30, 2011; before that show, nearly 14 years had passed since his previous Kansas City stop. Curiously, Saturday’s crowd seemed louder and more raucous than last year’s.

He lit the fuse early. After opening with the introspective “One Particular Harbor” and then a cover of “Hey, Good Lookin’,” he uncorked “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” his homage to day drinking. The crowd hurled itself into that one like it was an encore.
