Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band took their Bama Breeze Tour up north on Wednesday night for a show from the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, Canada.
The Radio Margaritaville connection was weak, and halfway through the show the feed was dropped completely. However, thanks to our members BlueMountainBear, Andrew, and Heather, BuffettWorld has the complete set list available here. And as always, Bamafan’s show notes are also available with the set list.
Notable songs from the set list included “We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About,” the Neil Young cover “Heart of Gold,” and the finale “Early Morning Rain,” a Gordon Lightfoot cover.

Update – The Toronto Sun has a review of the show – “Jimmy Buffett breezes into town”
Over the weekend, Jimmy Buffett attended a celebrity-studded Labor Day party at Bon Jovi’s Long Island, New York home, according to a couple articles:
The New York Post writes:
Guests at Bon Jovi’s Labor Day party were screaming and cheering when an impromptu band made up of Billy Joel (below) on piano, Jimmy Buffett on guitar and Jon Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd great Roger Waters on vocals took the stage.
The rock legends played Bon Jovi and Beatle tunes, along with many of Billy’s own songs.
The New York Daily News has more:
The surf-and-turf dinner would have been enough for a crowd that included Renee Zellwegger, Naomi Watts, Howard Stern, “Today” anchor Matt Lauer, designer Donna Karan, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner and “Saturday Night Live” producer Lorne Michaels.

The Toronto Star has a great interview with Buffett: “The complicated uncomplicated life of Jimmy Buffett”
I didn’t get spoiled by success,” he chuckled. “I loved the beach too much, I worked in a bar, I did some busking … finally I was lucky to find something in Key West that turned it around.”
The thing he found was “Margaritaville,” the song to which Buffett’s name will forever be linked, the “what-me-worry?” plaint of a loser bathing his wounds in alcohol and the bucolic haze of a sun-drenched paradise.
“I wrote that song in six minutes,” he said, marvelling at its lasting cultural effects. “But I’m not the first person to sell escapism, and I had no idea that it would start something as big as the Parrothead movement.”

The Republican has a review of Thursday night’s show at the Mohegan Sun Casino: “Lots of merriment, Jimmy Buffett style”
On a day of revelry that included an induction into the Mohegan Sun Walk of Fame, Jimmy Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band contributed to the contrived revelry with a two-hour performance on the casino’s Arena stage.
Mohegan Sun has become a regular summer stop on Buffett’s touring itinerary and as much as any other traveling artist his familiarity with the nooks and crannies of New England’s shoreline almost make him a native son.
The pied-piper of public inebriation, Buffett set up his stage to resemble the Bama Breeze Saloon and set out to engage the thousands of fans who had shown up with standard Buffett paraphernalia; stuffed parrots, grass skirts, and glasses filled with frozen beverages.
