After a 5 day hurricane delay, Jimmy Buffett took the stage at Jiffy Lube Live on the outskirts of Washington, DC on a gorgeous Thursday evening.

Jiffy Lube Live angered many fans by banning tailgating this year, (read “Parrotheads particularly peeved at Jiffy Lube”) and Jimmy made only a couple subtle references to the ban.

The set list was largely the same as previous shows, with the appropriate exception of “Surfing in a Hurricane,” played for the first time since January in Australia. View the full set list here.

Buffett made news in his pre-show interview, announcing that he’ll be returning to Denver for the first time since 2004 and Phoenix, which he last played in 2009.

Jimmy Buffett took the Welcome to Fin Land Tour to Indianapolis on Thursday night for a show at the Verizon Wireless Music Center.

Check out the Indy Star’s review of the show: “Buffett draws a big crowd, again”.

As Hurricane Irene bears down on the eastern seaboard, Buffett closed the show with “Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season.” He told the crowd that he hoped Irene would veer east so the show could go on this Saturday at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia.

Currently the track shows Irene in southern Virginia on Saturday evening as a Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph winds, with strong effects felt in Bristow:

A soggy night on Long Island delayed the start of Jimmy Buffett’s show at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater by an hour on Friday night.

The weather apparently caused the show to be shortened too, as Buffett only played 23 songs, instead of the usual 25 or 26 that he’s been playing at concerts this year. Only two songs were played during the encore, with “Last Man Standing” finishing out the set.
