Set List Archive -> 1984 Set Lists



1984 is a lost year in Buffett history. Nothing is known about the summer tour set list except a few reviews that have survived that give us some details. Fingers Taylor was back with the band, being the only change in the lineup. “Ragtop Day” and “Knees of My Heart” were showcased from the upcoming album “Riddles in the Sand” and according to reviews, those two were the only new songs showcased. Jimmy also sang the National Anthem at the Cubs National League Championship series opener, dedicating it to longtime Buffett Friend Steve Goodman.
