Free Music Notes for Live in Hawaii (With Bonus DVD)
Free Music Review: Buffett stays with what works
Hit: 3 Stars
This is more Buffett same old same old. Made before his new hit CD "Licence to Chill" it revisits many of his old hits and does it in the same old way. Not a stand out hit!Free Music Review: Jerry Garcia he ain't
Hit: 2 Stars
I really hate to give such a low rating to any Jimmy Buffett album. His music has brought a lot of happiness into my life and made some of the hard times easier to deal with, and I love almost all of his songs. But his recent series of "Live in..." CDs really doesn't make the grade. Why not? For one thing, he already had three terrific live albums, which encompassed different points of his carer and did a great job of it. That alone made the new ones unnecessary unless he did something unique with them, which he didn't. Also, the performance on "Live in Hawaii," at least, isn't that impressive. He hits quite a few wrong notes and often sounds downright bored, and most of the songs sound awfully thin compared to the original versions. I can't speak for whether the other CDs in the series are any better, because after listening to this one, I have no intention of buying them.
If you only have it in your budget for one live Buffett album, "You Had To Be There" can't be beat. For a more representative cross-section of his career as a whole, "Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays" is great. Unless you're a completist, don't bother with these newer ones.
Free Music Review: WARNING. DO NOT PURCHASE!
Hit: 1 Stars
I guess I'm luckier than some of the others who've written reviews here. I only bought "LIVE IN LAS VEGAS" and "LIVE IN MANSFIELD" and gave the other two a pass because they seemed like nothing more than repeats of what weren't very good CD's in the first place. My girlfriend bought this one for me and I'm sorry she wasted her money. Talk about milking your loyal fans. It's the same damn thing! Only this time, like someone wrote, he's even singing with Don Ho to make himself even more ridiculous.
I haven't heard the other CD's from Key West performers that others who have written here suggest, but I'm going to give them a try. I know that Jabanoski's "KEY WEST PARTY CD" was a million seller and I hear O'Connor is really popular too. I guess this old Parrothead has to search for these new Key West artists. I don't mind that Jimmy isn't as good as he used to be. I do mind that he just wants to line the pockets us fans have already over stuffed by making you feel like a clown for giving him the money for this repetetive garbage.
Free Music Review: A Duet With Don Ho? Oh, Jimmy, Where Have You Gone?
Hit: 1 Stars
I agree with the reviewer Jackie Flanigan from Maine totally. While "License To Chill" wasn't all that great, it had its moments. This is just a ripoff, plain and simple. FIVE live albums from the same tour? A duet with Mister "Tiny Bubbles" Don Ho? Oh, I forgot the great BONUS. A fifteen minute DVD. You're right on the money, jackie from Maine when you tell people to get Jabanoski's "Key West..Island Of Dreams" instead. That is a WONDERFUL, FUN trip to the tropics, instead of this ripoff. I also recommend a CD by another Key West performer, Liz O'Connor, called "Legacy Of Love." Whatever you do, though, DON'T BUY THIS ONE, especially if you're stupid like me and already own the other four or even one of them.Free Music Review: NO!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
"Live In Las Vegas." "Live In Cincinnati." "Live In Auburn" "Live In Mansfield." And now we have to hear "Live In Hawaii"? All from the same tour. All containing almost identically lifeless versions of basically the same songs. Hang it up, Jimmy. I'm sorry. I really used to be a big fan, but this is just taking advantage of your audience's loyalty to the extreme. And yes, like the fool I am, I bought it, but this is the last time.
Do yourselves a gigantic favor other Parrotheads. Buy Bill Jabanoski's newest CD "Key West, Florida ...Island Of Dreams" which is sensational or the great "The Key West Party CD" instead of this if you want that Key West sound.
