Jimmy Buffett - Live From Key West 2015 - in loving memory of Jimmy

[@JimSmith-1022]

Jimmy was a very close friend of mine. I never met him and he never met me, but trust me, he was my best friend many days.

[@sunnyneedham3654]

Hope you got some friends now! And I don't mean imaginary ones!

[@jaybodner4189]

I can't believe he's gone. RIP Jimmy. Love you man. So...yesterday, I went to the back of the house...part of the fall clean-up. There in the corner was the tiniest Weber charcoal grill made. I found it abandoned in our park a couple years ago. I figured (then) "hey, I'll use it at the next Buffett tail-gate". Well.....that tailgate will never come. I stood there and cried. I said to my wife, "might as well put it out in the trash". She said...."not yet, keep it for awhile memories are good". It took a day, I get it now. Jimmy will live on...such as Jerry, Izz, Glenn, Tom and sooo many others.

[@Michael-ls3xb]

My dad and never spent time together when he was alive. He passed a couple of years ago, I never knew he was a Jimmy Buffet fan. I was pretty messed up after Vietnam, had some problems. The last time we ever saw each other was in Key West. We spent a few days in Key West ate hamburgers and had a cold draft beers at the Margritaville restaurant and later watcher the sunset at Malory Square. Life is short, sometimes you don't know what you have missed until it's too late, get a little misty every time I listen to a couple of songs.

[@maestroadam]

Thank you for sharing this touching story!

[@suecogger955]

Hey, I'm from the 'nam era, knew many who served, & some came home... Hang in there, dude. We only have time in which to grow stronger. Buffett helps big time!!! True that!!♡♡

[@acidfruitloops]

[@williamschlosser3465]

Sorry for your loss

[@bonniewilsoncarlson]

I feel like I've lost a beloved family member. I've loved Jimmy all my life. Such a joyful talent. He WAS music.

[@user-zk5qu6mr6c]

I was fortunate enough to have seen Jimmy Buffet 4 times and have many of his albums,,,Fins Up to Jimmy Buffet!! 🙂

[@genecassidy6184]

Me 2,saw him August 2nd 2022 in Bangor Maine,so sad I miss him

[@robinrichardson6491]

I feel like you do. He has been part of my family for 50 years.

[@kirkgibson9146]

RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! AS I SLOWLY LOSE MY HEROES, I KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT I HAVE HAD SOME GOOD TIMES. IT WILL BE UP TO MY KIDS TO HAVE THERE OWN GOOD TIMES.

[@BigIslandMusicLovah]

Met him while sailing in Key West in the late 80's when he sailed close to our boat to borrow some matches! We tossed them over then had a sailing race with him. His boat was a lot prettier (wooden) but we were faster! RIP

[@dougmitchell2131]

RIP Jimmy. He has been the musical score for my sailing life - living on sailboats, cruising around Florida, the Keys and the Caribbean. "Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me, be they pastry, lobster or love. I'm just trying to get by, being quiet and shy, in a world full of pushing and shove'". I miss you already Jimmy.

[@ronbenjamin4351]

Spent many a day on that island and with David!! Good guy!! My dad and his friends would pick up Jimmy and get him let’s say feeling right!! My step father gave Jimmy a loan for 500 bucks to buy a Boston Whaler… the good ole Key West days before it was ruined!!

[@sixstrings2650]

From the 70's in South Florida to the 80'sand 90's in New York and my senior years in NC, Jimmy has been with me the whole way. You will truly be missed my friend. Thanks for bringing a Key West sunrise to a freezing winter morning.

[@samkirksey8485]

We need more Jimmy Buffett music during this challenging time

[@kendallevans4079]

Oh yeah, sure......money will solve all his problems

[@redeyedog4488]

What we need is NEVER ELECT A DEMOCRAT AGAIN...

[@schlottsseafood8781]

My heart was broken, Saturday when I was loading up to sell seafood my wife came out the front door and said Jimmy Buffett died. My heart dropped, I cried and my 7, 6, and 5yo were trying to understand. They will one day. I'll see you Pirate! Gods speed and look out for that grizzly bear!

[@sunnyneedham3654]

I know how you felt, hate to hear about anyone passing but when I heard about him, it deeply saddened me and I cried, can't believe it's been a year now. I wish I could've seen him one more time.

[@2010pjm]

Has there ever been another performer who exuded as much positive energy as jimmy did? The man enjoy his life to the fullest. A Noble quest.

[@larksvid]

Jimmy Buffett's music has been and always will be my go-to for times of stress. I love to envision myself laying in a hammock strung between two palm trees. I am listening to Jimmy Buffett, with a Margarita in my hand while watching the waves come in. He allowed me to envision that beautiful image. Thank Jimmy! Sail on from Colorado.

[@susangreen3871]

I bet he finds that “lost shaker of salt”! Thanks for all the good music and vibes!

[@tx3texas1]

I bet your right

[@bherstrom]

Excellent solo acoustic

[@handpay4me310]

RIP Jimmy Buffett. Our lives change like the weather but a legend never dies.

[@marthalisk303]

So glad this came up on my feed. After so much chaos/bs in the world as of late was nice to go to a lighter, fun and sun place with Jimmy. He will always be the symbol of summer fun in the sun! Salt shaker up to the eternal 'beach bum'. Jimmy's fun spirit and smile will be missed but his music will always live on💖

[@harveygoldstein6944]

Whenever I felt down or overwhelmed with life I listen to my playlist. I used to watch the CD of his concert in Antigua and listen to his Miami concert on his vinyl and now I do on KZbin. Times change but listening to Buffet always makes me smile and picks me up and still makes me sad because I'm not there. Too late now but on KZbin he lives in my heart and ears forever

[@michaelburt1946]

Am I the only one watching this and have a distinct smell of cheeseburgers around me.? Following Jimmy for close to 50 years and being the soundtrack of my wife and I life together all those years been some of the happiest times I’ll miss him forever.

[@jamesbatton4058]

Saw him in concert at the University of South Carolina in the 1970’s. Smoked a doobie before going. A great concert. Hate to see him go. We’ll miss him.

[@stevemitchell9455]

My late wife and I loved the concerts. We hiked together often. Come Monday was our song. Still brings me to tears.

[@eaaivazian]

That is SO VERY touching, Steve!! I'll say this...I'm not a particularly spiritual man, but I lost my firstborn son in 2013. And sometimes I feel his PRESENCE. Well...I'm now watching/listening to this concert...and I happen to be right now at the point during which Jimmy is singing COME MONDAY. I'd like to imagine that every time you listen to that song, Steve, your wife is singing along with you (and trying to find a way to tell you that everything is going to be ok). Thanks for the touching tale. :)

[@arobins]

Your wife is getting one heck of a live Jimmy Buffett show up in heaven now.

[@jeffersonlawson6353]

Saw Jimmy for the first time on his 74 acoustic tour in Knoxville....we discovered Jimmy by seeing his promo film at a midnight movie showing one very stoned Saturdays night. Saw him many times since....especially in the 70's. We were vacationing at Jacksonville Beach in 1976...Jimmy and the band were warming up Loggins and Messina. My brother and I met some fan club members and after Jimmy's set we were invited back stage. We wound up later that evening in the tour bus. Fingers was messing around on the harmonica and Greg Ridley was sitting in front of what seemed a mountain of weed...rolling, rolling, rolling. Most vivid memory was Jimmy acting out a scene of some western as Tyrone Power. It was a night as they say! Now my brother is gone and so is Jimmy. Hope somehow they meet up for a beer on the beach and smile. This Pirate is looking at 66...let's all Kick it in now second wind.....

[@DavidDudley-yy2ui]

good story!

[@TheLastPirate1973]

13 shows. Thousand of memories and songs to sav the soul. God bless the last pirate as he makes his final voyage.

[@TaraUhrig-w5f]

Thanks for the great times, and soundtrack for my life. Sail on...

[@outlaw565]

Thanks Jimmy & the Coral Reefer Band…what a ride! Sail on….fins up!

[@hawg92]

[@banduladezoysa2038]

Well done Late Mr.Jemmy Buffart.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@darcelhunter5325]

A loss this huge is like loosing one of your own. Rest in Peace Jimmy. You made so many people happy. You are LOVED beyond words. Your music will live on FOREVER!!! Thanks

[@richardm6502]

RIP Jimmy. Your music throughout my adult life played a part in my transition to the Pacific Coast of Mexico, about 1100 miles south of Tucson AZ, about 18 years ago. The Pacific beach life is just about as perfect as you can get. Margaritas con hielo y sal para siempre.

[@MakeItHurt78]

Still can't believe it. His music has played in the background of some of the greatest times of my adult life. I coach baseball and every year when our season would end, my sons would say "well dad, guess the rest of our summer will be spent drinking beer, fishing and listening to Jimmy Buffett. I'm now 44 and this all hits so different. Never got to see Jimmy live but his music will keep him alive in my heart. No one will ever fill the hole in the music world. RIP Jimmy. Fins UP!

[@nicholasgiffin847]

jimmy got me threw some very tough times saw him in palm springs ca this year super concert as always you leave wit a smile on every face at your concerts. we will miss you hope you found your particular harbor.

[@geoffgeorge5720]

JB, you will be missed, but thank god for that "one particular harbor" that I'll keep looking tor,

[@SteveM-x8e]

My wife was one of those who believed Elvis didn't really. We followed Jimmy for over 40 years. She passed in Jan 2024. Now I understand her belief about Elvis because I cannot believe Jimmy has passed, or that my wife has passed. Love them both. We were Cruisers. I have a tough time getting through Jimmy's "Lovely Cruise" and the memories that arise about both of them. I can envision her now at Jimmy's heavenly concerts!

[@anntaylor9742]

I saw Jimmy Buffett in concert in Charlotte, NC, a number of years ago. What a great musical icon whose songs can carry us to a happier place. As a journalist has written already, I hope Buffett is having a hamburger in paradise.❤

[@shawneeday629]

Thank you for the music Jimmy! From a parakeet/parrot head. ( my mom corrupted me) just sitting here watching in maybe shedding a few tears. My deepest condolences to Jimmy’s family and to his music family.

[@EarlePolk]

Thanks for getting me through Covid, I'll miss you

He did good songs with alan jacksons

[@kentblanchard5342]

Where are you from

[@steve-Fixit]

What a great concert! Jimmy is a legend he created his own unique sound. I love the steel pan inclusion. The coral reefers are great artists i hope they still perform.

[@dakotahstr]

How are we going to keep going without this man. He made us family at his voncerys and for just a few hours we left this crazy world. God bless you Jimmy❤❤never forgotten.

[@ElizabethFrancis-cd3yi]

I have Always loved Buffett music my parents and family and I grew up listening to him I had Cancer as a child and always found comfort in his music it brings you to a different place my mom and sisters surprised me last year and got us all Buffett tickets for my Birthday 🎉 we saw him at Cincinnati for the life on the flip side tour now my Daughter and Son and I listen to his music I really thought my Daughter was going to start kindergarten singing the down at the lah dee dah song and having a margarita in a mason Jar! 😂 Buffett and his music has Definitely been a Blessing for my family and I thank GOD! For Buffett !

[@christinacope562]

Great concerts he did in Cincinnati!

[@michaelfernandez2058]

I started listening to Jimmy just after grad school in 1978. I was a huge fan through the 80s but got tired of the parrothead scene and quit following his new music. Fom time to time my brother and a small handful of friends would share CDs and LPs with me but I probably went 20 years without listening to most of his newer music. I continued to listen to his music on the LPs and CDs I own for all these 40+ years. I recently discovered some of his newer ballads and, man, am I sorry I stopped paying attention. Jimmy was a true American treasure. Thanks for the music and the memories, Jimmy B! Hope you're having even more fun in the next life!

[@bilyg5689]

Only one word to describe this: JOY. Pure joy. You can see it on all the faces of the musicians and the folks in the audience. Thanks!

[@randym9147]

It's really hard to turn off this feed, it feels like the last time I can enjoy a Jimmy show, that is painful to consider, but it must be done... Or, I can play it again! !!! RIP Jimmy. I am heartbroken.

[@paulhall170]

"He died about a month ago, While winter filled the air And though I cried, I was so proud To love a man so rare" Jimmy's sweetest words.....

[@robinrichardson6491]

Thank you so much for that. One of my favorites. So beautiful❤

[@ArtOnWings]

Wow, he was a gift of love and happiness for us ♥️

[@EileenDoherty-jb4de]

Never saw him when he was alive regret that his music 🎶 got me through my cancer treatments and still listening 🎶 💔 🕊🐦🦜😘

[@cherylclark2508]

Ditto me in 1999. 🎵 I'd rather die while I'm living🎶 Still here, listening to his music, missing the man.

[@rachelfloydfox5843]

The same way that I see myself and all of my dear friends stalled looking a certain age, this is the age that these guys will always be when I see them in my heard. I will hold them all in my heart until the day I join Jimmy for a "real margarita".

[@tiffanyteal3532]

This goes out to old friends. You know that we had a great time

[@JimDiBattista]

Thank you Simon C, what a devastating loss. I had a gig today and everyone wanted to hear Jimmy songs and I played them all. I feel so bad not only for the loss of such a great artist but like when Tom Petty left us, the loss of such a great band of musicians.

Today I feel like a huge chunk happiness, joy, peace, healing and love is gone from this world. That's what Jimmy did for me and they spread it all over the world. I became a parrothead in 1976, what an INCREDIBLE JOUREY IT'S BEEN. SAIL ON SAILOR thank you Jimmy Buffett!❤❤😅❤❤

[@tubejunky54]

He shared his life with us in his songs.

[@bettierusso5410]

Best Memory for me at a Jimmy concert?? I heard he and Alan Jackson were coming to town. I HAD to go! Couldn't get anyone to cough up and cover for me at work. The literal, one and only time I ever "called in sick" (riddled with guilt and panic) I went anyway. S memory maker. I got picked to stand on stage with him and do a shot of his Margaritaville tequila with my paper -mache Parrot named "stiffy" ( He laughed so hard at that one!🤣 and my clock hanging around my neck frozen at 5:00. I got into the line to get a drink and I hear a voice;..."Hello Bettie...Weren't you on the schedule to work today??" My heart sank..it was my Boss in line about 3 people back. The line erupted with gasps and moans. BUSTED! I never called in sick again and had to take more shifts to pay for it. WOW what a memory. Thank you Jimmy. Bubbles Up buddy and I will meet you at the heavenly beach up there!

[@DavidDudley-yy2ui]

Perfect story hahaha

[@golfingsoutherncalifornia1252]

only saw him live once at his annual show in Irvine, CA, his last show there after about 40 years playing there each year. so glad I finally saw him. one of a kind.

[@golfingsoutherncalifornia1252]

unlike most of you, i didn't pay much attention, was more into classic rock. but in the 2000s I began to seriously listen and watch youtube videos, and it was mainly A Pirate Looks at 40 that converted me into a fan

[@karinbrantner3081]

I am happy he had fun doing it, shoot, he had fun and smiled with every single breathe he lived, we all could be so lucky to be so happy.

[@ronbourquin9305]
