NBC Miami has an article on Buffett’s appearance in Key West yesterday:

“I heard I was in town,” the former Key West resident said as he walked onstage Friday, referencing one of his well-known song titles. “This is pretty cool, playing on Duval Street.”

He then played 15 songs such as “A Pirate Looks at Forty,” “Tin Cup Chalice,” Nautical Wheelers,” and “Woman Goin’ Crazy on Caroline Street,” the Florida Keys News Bureau reported.

FloridaKeysTV has some good video, including clips of “A Pirate Looks at Forty” and “Last Mango in Paris.”

The 20th annual Meeting of the Minds parrothead convention is going on now in Key West and Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band made a surprise appearance today, performing on a stage set up on Duval Street.

According to ConchTV, Buffett played pre-1975 songs plus an encore of “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.”
