Over the years, Jimmy Buffett’s yearly concert tours have evolved into beach-themed extravaganzas. But as any true Buffett fan knows, to fully experience the fun you have to plunge into the pre-concert tailgate. This annual ritual can intimidate a newbie—and even die-hard “Parrotheads” need inspiration to make their parties stand out. That’s where this comprehensive handbook to all the great goings-on comes in. It’s got essential Parrothead information, from details about Buffett’s music to background on the band to stories behind some of his famous songs. You’ll learn how to dress for the show, how to decorate your car, the A-Z of tailgating tools, recipes for Buffett gourmet classics such as a Cheeseburger in Paradise and the perfect margarita, and much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!,
By H. Parker Kelley (New Canaan, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jimmy Buffett Concert Handbook: The Unauthorized Guide (Paperback)
I really like this book -- in fact, I've been hoping someone would write a book like this for years. It's a great portable handbook to Jimmy Buffett and the Buffett concert scene. I'm definitely not a concert Virgin, but I still found some great ideas for our next outing, with some cool information about the band and the songs. The book is a good read and offers a nice view into our little world of Buffett "enthusiasts." (It also has a cool look and design -- but I'm a sucker for Key West colors!

Good for the newbie,

This review is from: The Jimmy Buffett Concert Handbook: The Unauthorized Guide (Paperback)
This book is said to be a great parrothead guide for both seasoned parrothead veterans and newcomers alike. I would have to disagree. I purchased this as a birthday gift for one of my parrothead friends. Before wrapping and giving the gift of course, me being a die hard parrothead as well, I gave the book a quick preview first. There is nothing new in this book that a seasoned parrothead doesn't already know. For example...what to wear to a concert, tailgaiting rituals, drinks, Jimmy's bio, famous songs, books written, history, etc. The only info in here that I found interesting were some snippetts about when and how some of the songs came about.
So if you are new to the parrothead scene and are about to embark on your first show I would reccommend this book highly. If however you have been down this road before, even if only once or twice, the book will not quench your thirst.

This book was poorly researched and poorly written,
By Paul E. Leslie "Host of Time After Island Tim... (Georgia on My Mind) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Jimmy Buffett Concert Handbook: The Unauthorized Guide (Paperback)
It appears to have just been thrown together. If you're already a Buffett fan, it's just someone trying to cash in.
If you're new to all of this--Do you really need someone to tell you how to go to a party? Lame.
