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.”

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band closed out the 2011 Welcome to Fin Land Tour in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Opening the show with Viva Las Vegas, Buffett played a mostly standard show, but ended with the Bruce Springsteen classic “Glory Days” before playing “Defying Gravity” as the finale.

View the full set list here.

Buffett played nearly 30 shows on the Fin Land Tour this summer, making a few stops at places he hadn’t been in several years (Virginia Beach, Cuyahoga Falls, Phoenix, Denver). Go to our archives to relive the tour.

For those of you already wondering about next year, the spring and summer dates are usually announced in January or February. Buffett sometimes plays a few shows in January or February too. Last year it was Australia and New Zealand, while in years past it’s been Florida.
