Hit: 3 Stars
This is a solid career overview of Buffett's music, and a perfect souvenier for anyone who's ever attended one of his concerts. You get all the hits played very well, plus some surprises like "Jolly Mon" and "In the Shelter." The steel drums give the music a tropical dimension, and the oustanding musicianship shows Buffett and Company are well-deserving of their rabid following.
However, "production" (or lack thereof) might sink this party boat for many listeners. A disclaimer on the back of the packaging promises the performance "has not been altered in any way," and there is no doubt of this - to the point that the CD doesn't sound as if it was mastered or equalized. This may appeal to a music lover's purist instincts, but it's jarring for listeners unfamiliar with soundboard recordings (there's no wondering why I found a used copy of this disc only weeks after its initial release). Also featured here is a startling amount of breathless and off-key singing, flubbed solos and other mistakes that used to get doctored out of "official" live releases.
Problems aside, there are elements to the CD that are very charming and fun. "Why Don't We Get Drunk," for example, is played on ukeleles, and an overall party atmosphere prevails throughout. Plus, Buffett's between-song banter reveals a well-traveled man who knows how to connect with his audience. I would recommend this set to someone who has seen Buffett and wants a soundtrack to that experience. But if you simply want to have all of his hits in one place, stick with one of his multiple best-of's. For a more listenable live document, go with "You Had to Be There."
Free Music Review: Good addition to the Buffett collection
Hit: 3 Stars
This may be very similar to the other live cds from the Tiki Time Tour, but for the price the differences are worth it. The dvd alone is a must have for those Parrotheads that must collect it all. Buffett is not the first to start releasing many live cds from the same tour. With bootleg concerts selling on ebay, some bands have decided they should get the money themselves. Can you blame them? I think its great. How cool is it when a concert is released that you were at?
