5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Tiki Tour Live Albums, March 30, 2005

Although most of the songs on the Hawaii concert are the same as the earlier Tiki-Tour albums (Cincinatti, Mannsfield, etc.) this concert stands out far above the rest...and easily rivals his previous live albums such as Feeding Frenzy and Tues-Thurs-Sat. Why? Because the energy and playfulness of this album is far beyond anything Jimmy has done in years. This is Jimmy at his best. The instrumentation is crystal clear and the transition of songs works extremely well, and with wonderful introductions. This concert rocks from start to finish and offers great versions of his classic and newest songs, while flawlessly mixing in a variety of musical styles such as Hula, Zydeco, Latin, and Jitterbug Swing. This is the ultimate concert...and easily stands on its own. Great Job Jimmy! If I could only own one Jimmy Buffett album, this would definitely be the one. It has it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE PERFECT RECIPE, May 3, 2005

By 

Walt Simon (Preston, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live in Hawaii (With Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

Now that spring is at long last here, here's my Perfect Recipe for my weekend Bar-B-Qs,

1. Mix five full blenders of Margaritas. Put a couple of cases of beer in an ice bucket.

2. Fire up the grill with lots of meat ready to sizzle.

3. If you've got a five CD disc changer that does "random play" like mine does, get the speakers outside and put on

1. The first disc of this CD
2. The second disc of this CD
3. Jabanoski's "Key West Party CD"
4. Jabanoski's "Key West/Island Of Dreams"
5. "Key West Liz" O'Connors "Legacy of Love"

and REPEAT AS NECESSARY!

You and your friends will be in the tropics all day and night even if you are in Maryland like us or some other place where palm trees don't grow.

I've read alot of the reviews of this CD and eveyone seems to take it all so seriously. I get enough seriousness at work Monday thru Friday. What ever happened to just having FUN with great music made by great musicians?

5.0 out of 5 stars "Hawaii" is Excellent (But "Key West" is Even Better), May 3, 2005

I disagree with critics on this page who say this fith live album is a ripoff. Yes the song list is almost identical on each of them but the song titles are listed quite clearly on the cd and here on Amazon, so if you didn't want to hear different versions of the same songs then you shouldn't have bought the cd. As for myself, being a Parrothead is like being an alcoholic or a compulsive gambler. You can never get enough. So I enjoyed this as much as I've enjoyed the rest of the live cd packages. I actually think this is the best of them. Jimmy seems to have alot more energy on this one.
I do agree with the critics who say that "Roadkill" Bill Jabanoski's "Key West, Florida ..Island Of Dreams" is the far superior album if your only going to buy one. Although Jabanoski's style is completely different then Jimmy's, he reminds you of the more wreckless and wild Jimmy from back in the seventies and his songs are as good as anything on "A1A" or "Changes In Latitudes" and that's a major compliment coming from a phanatic Parrothead like me. My advice to anyone is to buy both.
