 One of the Best Ever!! July 27, 2008
From a ParrotHead to all the other ones out there, this DVD is absolutly Fabulous! Jimmy is aging so well. I wish he would have done some songs from "take the weather with you" but anyway, it's a Great DVD for our collections!
 "...LET'S ROCK THIS BOAT !" (Jimmy Buffett Live In Anguilla is easy going Parrothead fun and pleasurable entertainment) July 23, 2008

Jimmy Buffett's Live in Anguilla (2007) was recorded during an outdoor stage show at reggae singer Bankie Banx's beach bar, The Dune Preserve, in the British West Indies. Bankie also joins Jimmy and The Coral Reefer Band on stage to sing his own Still In Paradise (that's Bankie pictured on the album cover with Jimmy). The show was a benefit concert that assisted local charities and foundations.
This is a 3-disc set (2 CDs, 1 DVD) that's packaged in a double clamshell jewel case and includes a colorful booklet. Combined, the two CDs offer 30 songs, and the sound quality is absolutely flawless. Crisp and clear, it's easy to imagine being right there in paradise enjoying this professionally casual performance.
Most of the songs feature sexy female backing vocals and a steel drum that gives the music a very nice Carribean flavor, but songs like Domino College, Fins, and Cheeseburger In Paradise all rock with heavy drums and meaty electric and slide guitar solos. Mostly, this show is a laid back affair that's perfectly suited for rockers and Parrotheads who are kinda sorta grown up and well adjusted. Nobody's singing the blues here, that's for sure.
Jimmy, as always, is having a great time, and his audience quite naturally adores him. Buffett is sort of the antithesis to the modern day rock star. He's a sailor, pilot, author and businessman, and many everyday adults find him much more accessible than an emotionally troubled head banger or a stage prancer wearing high heels and make up.
Heading up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock n' roll
Those lines are from an early Jimmy Buffet hit, Come Monday, and there's a nice version of the song included here. Buffett cheerfully serves up most of the Parrothead anthems and biggies including Margaritaville, Changes In Latitudes Changes In Attitudes, A Pirate Looks At Forty, Volcano, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor, and It's Five O'clock Somewhere. Other highlights are the fantastic versions of One Particular Harbor and Treat Her Like A Lady, Buffett's tribute to the ocean.
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
I guess that's the reason why I treat her like a lady
There are a few surprisingly good covers here, too. Of course, Jimmy had a hit single with Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, and that's included, but he also performs pleasant versions of CSN's Southern Cross, The Beach Boys' In My Room, and Bob Marley's Waiting In Vain.
The 82-minute DVD includes an intimate session down on the beach with two acoustic guitars, a steel drum, and a bongo drum in front of a small group of people. That morphs into the actual stage show, and it's all great footage that's very enjoyable. Shots of the audience having fun, boats in the water, Jimmy piloting a plane, and sweet young thangs in bikinis cut in and out of the concert scenes. Parrothead Heaven!
Live in Anguilla is essential for Parrotheads, and Jimmy Buffett fans will get a top quality updated live album with a DVD. There's nothing groundbreaking here, just summertime family fun and live music. The essence of Jimmy Buffett and the Parrothead phenomena is quite pleasantly experienced here, but this set probably won't instantly turn someone who's not a fan into a Parrothead. After a few margaritas maybe...

I've been listening to Buffett for over 30 years, and every time I think he can't get any better, he does. His concerts have matured a bit since "You Had to be There", but so have I and if anything they are better now than they were then. If I could only listen to one performer, it would be Jimmy Buffett.

as usual - jimmy puts on a great live show - it's a party everytime out
all the favourites are here - variations in some melodies- but that keeps it fresh
if you are a fan -a 'parrothead' - buy this now ! summer time is nigh - and the music is HOT !
Fly me to the islands.. June 13, 2008
He does it again.. you just want to sit by the fire with him and sing all night long. Keep it rocking Mr Margaritaville !
