What year was the Primo Parrothead Party Tour?
Got a nice T at an estates sale in mint condition but was wondering what year the Primo Parrothead Party Tour was. Great graphics on the front. On the back it says New Orleans June 12, Atlanta June 26, and Buckeye Lake Ohio August 21. Thanks.

Re: What year was the Primo Parrothead Party Tour?
I don't think any tour was ever named that. There doesn't seem to be any record anywhere of a tour with that name. It may just be a shirt that got printed up but wasn't an official tour name.
I guess it depends on the definition of "tour"
IMO a tour is a series of concerts in different venues, i.e. not a "one off". I know there are more tours than you find listed in most web sites which have only JB's major annual tour. For example, there was a "No Passport Required" tour in 2000 that played 5 cities on the west coast, including Vegas (I've got that shirt too), but you won't find it on most tour lists. I sure the Primo Parrothead tour existed. I just want to find out what year.
I have a partial answers
The shirts in question list dates of select cities included in an annual tour. The Primo Parrot Head Party 3 dates coincide with the 1993 Chameleon Caravan Tour (Note they are not consecutive shows). The No Passport Required shirt coincides with the end of the Beach House on the Moon Tour that was played in April of 2000 (not 1999). So for that shirt, did they change the name of the tour since it was played in 2000 prior to the 2000 "Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays" tour? Another possibility is that these shirts were produced by the fan club that held a special party at those locations (they don't coincide with Margaritaville locations). Yet another possibility was that they were given to VIPs in those cities, or as an ID to be able to enter pre or post concert parties? These are questions for a serious and long time Buffett fan.

Primo Parrothead Party events were select concerts within the 1993 Chameleon Caravan Tour that were designed as showcases for Jimmy's then newly created Margaritaville Records.
Here is a description of the New Orleans Primo Parrothead Event:
"Jimmy Buffett Primo Parrothead Party - (1993) Jimmy Buffett, Little Richard, and Michael McDonald, including two smaller stages of local New Orleans bands such as the Iguanas and Evangeline, and food booths of New Orleans cuisine - Tad Gormley Stadium, City Park New Orleans."
These events last 8 hours with Jimmy and the CRB being the headline attraction

The "No Passport Required" shows were an extension of the 1999 "Beach House on The Moon Tour". Those shows took place in April 2000 with 5 cities on the West Coast and a show in Dallas TXBohatyaor wrote:For example, there was a "No Passport Required" tour in 2000 that played 5 cities on the west coast, including Vegas (I've got that shirt too), but you won't find it on most tour lists.????
