The Key West Chronicle’s Key West Blog has some additional details on Jimmy Buffett’s upcoming concert on the Today Show that we first reported last Thursday:

The Today Show is promoting Key West as an American vacation destination and will be filming an entire 4-hour morning show on our little tropical island.

As part of the production, Jimmy Buffett will play a live 30-minute concert on May 5, 2009 starting at 8:30 am.

The mini concert will be at either the Westin Resort or Mallory Square.

First semester of Summerzcool ends in Tampa

April 25th, 2009


The Summerzcool tour moved home to Florida tonight as Jimmy and the band invaded the Coast of Florida for the next show on the Summerzcool Tour in Tampa, Florida.

The fun started early as before Hot, Hot, Hot Jimmy brought out Florida Head football coach Urban Meyer and awarded him a Tailgate Trophy. From there, the show was basically the same as Raleigh. “Coast of Carolina” was dedicated to Jimmy’s wife Jane for her birthday. “Gypsies in the Palace” once again featured the poem before the song. But the encore brought us a few tour debuts as Jimmy treated us to a full band arrangement of “Havana Daydreamin’” as the final song in the first encore and “Migration” as the solo acoustic song in the second encore. Both where last played in Key West on February 12.

View the entire set list here.

Update – The Today Show’s website has more:

For one week this May, America’s first TV family will be spending more than just their mornings together. Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, Al Roker and Ann Curry will pack their bags and head to some of America’s most beautiful destinations. TODAY Takes a Vacation, a five-day series, begins Monday, May 4.

Lauer added details about the anchors’ itinerary for Tuesday, May 5. “We’ll travel to mile marker zero in Key West, Florida,” he said. “From the southernmost point in the U.S., we will look for sunken treasure. And you can’t go to Key West without a little music from Jimmy Buffett, who’ll greet us with a live concert.”
