I saw JB live in West Palm. I'm one of the lucky ones. They closed with Southern Cross.😢

[@pageribe2399]

Gee, We all knew Jimmy back in the day when he was starting out.Great guy.

[@LaurenBall2]

Jimmy has been and will be the soundtrack for my life. I wasn’t sure what it would be like to hear everyone else play his music without him. Last night was amazing.

[@GaryEtheridge-d5n]

Yes Sir- I feel the same about Jimmy Buffett!! I hope they play these songs for Jimmy..and all of us here missing him❤❤❤

[@BJMallory]

Jimmy & JD are about to have a heavenly jam session. Rest in peace, JD. Thank you for all the beautiful music. 🕊️🕊️🤎

[@ISIXOXISI]

Damn it! 😢

[@jacquelinebhg2325]

I was imagining them seeing each other in heaven too, while watching this. Beautifully said 🤍

[@mikeknowles8017]

Just heard and this performance was the first thing I thought of.

[@Al-rs2rr]

I loved Jimmy and his music for over 40 years. Many covered it but nobody did this song as well as CSN.

[@karenmoss8810]

I agree. CSN did this so well.

[@giannamacke7901]

J.D.Souther, Glenn Frey and Jimmy Buffett together again! RIP!!! Heaven is Rockin tonight!

[@mikeb3986]

If there’s a rock and roll heaven they’ve got a hell of a band. Damn I miss them

[@USAMontanan]

I saw the Southern Cross for the first time while at the wheel of the tall ship Europa as we sailed the Drake Passage to Antarctica. I always loved this song but love it even more now after that.

[@voxac30withstrat]

I live under it here in Oz (Australia)

[@PamelaMiller-f9n]

Thank you, so much, for putting together this together for all of us to enjoy. You are following Jimmy’s generous spirit and his nature of doing what he could to make others happy. Bubbles up!

[@SheilaRose-s7x]

He and Jimmy are sailing together in heaven tonight.

[@richardbaoh1952]

I was introduced to The Great Jimmy B during Covid when I started jogging after my heart operation and listened to Come Monday on repeat over and over again and again never stopped. Now 4 years later when I jog - here come Jimmy and ofcourse Margarita on repeat …… RIP Jimmy B my idol

[@ISIXOXISI]

Proves you’ve got heart! ♥️ Keep jogging and jiving with Jimmy.

[@jimflores9098]

This was only a few months ago, how could he be gone? sad day...

[@jerryfeigelson4728]

sad indeed greatest music era fading fast

[@albertbouwer]

Great to see Mr Souther.

[@LorieBratten]

Jimmy lived the life we all wanted to be or should be.

[@randallfrank5682]

I am still learning to speak "Southernese."

[@EdwardWright-ns5xj]

I mowed grass so I could buy the Southern, Hillman, and Fury band album I was probably 12 I loved that music!

[@ISIXOXISI]

Dude, the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band harmonies are great! 👍🏼 To this day you remember the album you purchased with that mowing money. I doubt in the future anyone will remember the first time they “streamed” a song 😆

[@fritzcat6198]

I had that amazing album too!

[@devigovender-qx3ix]

Beautiful song Love JD Southern May your Soul R.I.P

[@heleninseattle]

I ❤ J.D. Souther! He has written so many songs that were my favorites through the years. Great to hear him now.

[@MsOscara]

But Souther didn't write this song; it was written by Stephen Stills, based on a song called "Seven League Boots" by Rick and Michael Curtis. Souther.

[@richardshultis9626]

One of the greatest. He is missed. Sad to see these guys leave us.

[@valeriegarcia6081]

I'm truly sad ,been crying.rip😭😭😭😭😭

[@waypylant1]

JD Souther was the Dude!

[@Baci302]

Glad to still see some real rock musicians playing live.

[@ISIXOXISI]

I know, right?

[@ht6lirpa]

He looks very healthy at this time. What on earth happened to him these past few months? Rest in peace.

[@colinturner4158]

R I P JD Souther thank you for your wonderful music.

[@chriscorbin2059]

JD wrote one of my favorite songs that he recorded with Linda Ronstatd called Silver Blue.

[@a1paul1]

Great to see the Coral Reefer Band out playing. Would be difficult for them all but Jimmy will be be smiling down on them saying go cubs go lol. Hope they continue to do this with guests and please come down under❤

[@devigovender-qx3ix]

So sad may his soul R.I.P 🙏

[@sarahsimpsontaylor6017]

Stephen stills wrote it and CSN made it iconic. Love Jimmy and he admitted it wasn't his but he put his spin on it. Miss his fabulous energy knowing him decades ago..a generous happy man..and he laughed when I told him their version was the best. We agreed that was the beauty of music. J D Souther was robbed of modt of the credit of his massive collection of songwriting. Glad to see he's still on the big stage.

[@MickeyHarris-n4b]

J.B And J.D. just think about the stories they could tell R.I.P. Brothers

[@WoodJack99]

JD NAILED this song!

[@taimeuppe6174]

Jimmy knew who to hang with RIP

[@walkinlovefaith2304]

RIP JD, from Amarillo TEXAS.

[@devigovender-qx3ix]

Still listening in December 2024

[@bettywalton5572]

This was definitely one of the highlights of the best concert I have ever seen in my life. JD Souther was awesome singing this.

Amen. God given talent. God loves Jimmie, J.D. AND GLENN AND WANTED A CONCERT

[@garyonderisin8338]

what a heavenly, beautiful song. a classic. crosby, stills, and nash do a stellar job of it as well.

[@nzdave4317]

l thought steven stills wrote rhis song

[@ISIXOXISI]

Stephen Stills, Rick Curtis, and Michael Curtis wrote the song, first performed by CSN.

[@m.c.master4622]

@@nzdave4317, now, I don't feel so stupid! I did too. And, he did.

[@stevenmallory3768]

Born and raised under the Southern Cross, this is great.

[@juliasgioielleria7581]

Sounds Great

[@Mellamodori]

Thank you so very much for posting. It was a shock to see JD sing this song since his voice is a little fragile these days. It was wonderful because I think everyone was singing including the audience. A beautiful moment. 🌺❤️🦜✨

[@ISIXOXISI]

I think everyone was singing. Oh heck, I’m not a religious person, but I believe Jimmy was singing along in heaven. At least he was in my imagination 🤗

[@headlessgunner]

Thank you for all these videos!

[@marypatstrobel2913]

What an amazing version of Southern Cross!!! I absolutely love this! Incredible harmonies!

[@ISIXOXISI]

Agree 💯!

They really captured the essence and all the beauty of the song ❤️

Kudos to Mac for carrying on with the band.

[@MasterofScrutiny]

Superb performance! Bravissimo!

This old CSN Song was done justice by Jimmy ... JD Souther, good choice ...

And let us not forget his contribution to Dan Fogelberg's music!

I don't know if they make an appearance, but, it would have been nice to have Graham and Steven sing this song.

[@dilligaf2818]

Gold !!

[@rmmontgomery4512]

lookin" GOOD Doyle !!

[@thomasobrien1213]

Stephen Stills wrote it.

[@alienhuman]

SC was written by the Curtis Brothers. SS got his name on it for $$$

[@ISIXOXISI]

@alienhuman Oh yes, Richard and Michael Curtis write “Seven League Boots” to which Stills rewrote the lyrics and chorus (that arguably made SC commercially viable.) Indeed, the song is a collaboration, that’s why all three are credited as writers.

[@alienhuman]

@@ISIXOXISI ✌️

[@lulugirl7043]

I thought Stephen Stills wrote this with help from Richard and Michael Curtis. It's more about a long sailing journey after his divorce ....... Southern Cross.

[@ISIXOXISI]

All true! But this was a favorite cover song for Jimmy and the Coral Reefers. Some folks prefer Bubba’s version to CSN 🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGqmmIB3iZesmMUfeature=shared

[@lulugirl7043]

Also Timothy B. Schmitt sang background on this song with CSN.

[@ISIXOXISI]

Oh yes he did and what a great sound they had.

[@JeffMcCalib]

Wish Buffett would have covered the Ozark Mtn Daredevils' Southern Cross..

[@oscardelta1257]

JD Souther November 2nd 1945---September 17th 2024 Jimmy Buffett December 25th 1946---September 1st 2023 May you both RIP and party on in the heavens see ya when I get there.

[@georgiabutka3770]

Crosby, Stills & Nash song written by David Crosby about his sailing trip around the world after his divorce!

[@waypylant1]

The entire purpose of music is to expose the mases to truth and harmony.

[@SheriDakan]

Jimmie would be proud

[@wesmahan4757]

The audio was recorded on a cell phone by someone in the audience. Too bad it wasn't patched in from the stage mics/amps.

[@davidhayesmusic1069]

This is fantastic! Sorry I don't know but could someone please tell me who the mc/guitarist is? Thanks!

Yes! Angelique Kidjo did it. If my memory serves correctly.

Sorry to learn of JD’s death. Another loss to music.

[@brucetowell3432]

I've been personally hit with 3 big losses when it comes to music>> Jimmy Buffett, Toby Keith, and a few weeks ago Eric Carmen

[@voxac30withstrat]

I prefer the CSN&Y version.

[@ISIXOXISI]

I do too! It was just CSN then as Young was out and David Crosby was barely back in. Stephen Stills and Graham Nash recorded the vocals, and David Crosby did perform the song with CSN at subsequent concerts. Cheers!

[@milesjenkins3687]

Crank JD’s mic you fools.

Somehow 2024 does seem to be that kind of unkind year. 😢

[@jimratliff2753]

Man, everyone is getting old and tired. Age is a crazy thing. Not as strong as the old days sadly.

[@billdesinger8604]

Even old and tired is way better than the pop crap that passes for music today (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Madonna, et. al.).

[@ISIXOXISI]

@billdesinger8604 Wow, in my sixties and love all these artists at the Buffett Benefit. However I just saw Madonna, and dig Rhianna and Beyoncé as well. I say that all have some great stuff to offer.

[@gabevachon326]

A faster tempo wrecks this song. What is lost is the feeling of sailing and being free. Bad call here

[@robertgeorge4064]
