April 24th, 2010The show was back on the road Saturday night as Jimmy and the band began the Under The Big Top Tour with a performance at the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa, Florida.
Notable additions to the set list this year include “Knees of My Heart,” “Frank and Lola,” “If the Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me,” “Big Top” and others. “Tin Cup Chalice” finished things off. Buffett also added Mac McAnally’s song “Back Where I Come From,” which Kenny Chesney has made popular over the years.
View the entire set list here.
In a first for Buffett, portions of the show were streamed live on ustream.tv (part of the soundcheck was streamed earlier in the day too).
Update – The videos have been removed from the Big Top Tour ustream channel. You may only be able to watch live streaming in the future.

The Under The Big Top Tour will continue Tuesday with a show in Atlanta, GA. You can still get your tickets now!

The 2010 Under The Big Top Tour kicks off tonight at 8 pm in Tampa, Florida, and Jimmy Buffett is venturing even more into social media by streaming the soundcheck live on USTREAM.
From 3-5 pm ET, go to www.ustream.tv/channel/bttour to watch a live video feed from the soundcheck at Ford Amphitheater in Tampa, the kick off to this year’s tour. You can also watch it here at Buffett World (when it goes lives, it will appear in the video box below).
The USTREAM channel is titled “bttour,” so we’ll likely see video feeds throughout the summer. If you aren’t able to view the live feed this afternoon, the videos are often archived for later viewing.

May is “National Hamburger Month” and naturally, Margaritaville is celebrating!
This year, Margaritaville celebrates all things hamburger with Meat us at Margaritaville, a month long promotion focusing on the American classic, and offering a variety of burger and beverage features. “With close to 25 years of serving up our signature Cheeseburger in Paradise, we have guests that have grown up on our burgers,” explains Tamara Baldanza, Margaritaville’s director of marketing. “It only makes sense that during National Hamburger Month, we would celebrate this great American food and the folks who love to eat them!”
Nationwide, the Margaritaville restaurants now serve-up over 1 million burgers annually. This year, Margaritaville encouraged its Facebook fans to log on and vote on their favorite burgers created by various Margaritaville chefs. The 5 winning burgers were announced on April 21st and will be featured during the month of May at all participating Jimmy Buffett restaurant U.S. locations.
Here were the winning burgers:
