Jimmy Buffett, dead at 76: His final concert with his band was on May 6 in San Diego. Here’s our review.

Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band headlined the first-ever concert at Snapdragon Stadium. His death was announced just a few days after the San Diego opening of the Buffett-themed Margaritaville hotel

Jimmy Buffett’s May 6 concert with his Coral Reefer Band at San Diego’s Snapdragon Stadium was a suitably celebratory affair. It turned out to be his last performance anywhere with the group, which he had led various iterations of since the 1970s,

Buffett’s death Friday at the age of 76 came barely four months after his Snapdragon concert, which also featured San Diego’s Jason Mraz and a brief opening set by Coral Reefer Band mainstay Mac McAnally. It also came just days after the opening of the Margaritaville Hotel in downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter., which is themed to reflect the beachy lifestyle in Buffett’s music, merchandise and concert decor.

‘Margaritaville’ singer Jimmy Buffett, who turned beach-bum life into an empire, dies at 76

“Margaritaville” singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett has died at age 76

Sept. 2, 2023

That show was a make-up date for Buffett and Mraz’s originally scheduled Snapdragon show last October. It was postponed after Buffett was hospitalized for what his family has recently revealed was a four-year battle with Merkel skin cancer.

In an announcement in his website last September, Buffett said he “needed to refrain from touring for the rest of the year” because of “health issues and brief hospitalization. That led him to cancel his October shows in Salt Lake City and Nampa, Idaho, and to push back his shows in Las Vegas to March of this year.

Buffett was hospitalized again this May, again for undisclosed reasons, not long after his San Diego concert. “Getting old is not for sissies, I can assure you,” he said in a statement later that same month.

If the veteran singer-songwriter-turned-billionaire- entrepreneur was feeling under the weather at his final San Diego concert, he gave no indication of anything being amiss. Indeed, Buffett was in good spirits throughout his 19-song set, which opened with “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” and concluded with a buoyant version of Crosby, Stills & Nash’s “Southern Cross.”

Our coverage of that concert was published in the San Diego Union-Tribune on May 7. Here is the review in its entirety, along with the complete set list of Buffett’s performance.

Jimmy Buffett and Jason Mraz turn Snapdragon Stadium into a giant beach party, 8 miles inland

BY GEORGE VARGA MUSIC CRITIC May 7, 2023, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Jimmy Buffett and Jason Mraz have each performed numerous times in San Diego over the years — Buffett since the early 1970s and native Virginian-turned-Oceanside resident Mraz since the late 1990s. But Saturday night was the first instance in memory at which either played second fiddle here to a large, new, outdoor concrete edifice.

So, take a bow, Snapdragon Stadium, which opened last September as the home of San Diego State University’s Aztecs football team — and this weekend made its largely promising debut as a concert venue.

“I don’t usually wear a suit, but this is such a special occasion I had to dapper it up a bit,” said Mraz, 45, prior to performing the buoyant, reggae-infused “Wise Woman,” the fourth song in his engaging, hour-long set. “I thought this day would never get here, but I’m glad it did.”

Longtime Buffett collaborator Mac McAnally was, in fact, the first artist to perform at Saturday’s concert. The show had been pushed back from its original date last October, after Buffett was hospitalized for undisclosed reasons.

Now 76, the star of the night was in good spirits as he took to the stage at 7 p.m. He warmly greeted the audience, then introduced McAnally, who did an engaging, five-song opening set with percussionist Erik Darken.

“We finally made it!” Buffett, clad in a track warm-up suit, told the cheering audience. “Thank you for waiting.”

Prior to his first number, “Blame It On New Orleans,” McAnnaly said: “We are honored to kick off the inaugural concert at Snapdragon Stadium.”

Buffett and Mraz delivered crowd-pleasing sets with their respective bands, each of which performed with a winning combination of polished precision and festive celebration.

Mraz and his brassy band performed tender ballads, funk-fueled romps and the disco-styled “I Feel Like Dancing” with equal poise and verve. He gave some extended solos to his musicians — something rarely heard in a stadium setting — and tenor saxophonist Carlos Sosa and guitarist Molly Miller were especially impressive.

Buffett opened with the tropical-flavored “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” the title track of the 1977 album that propelled him from cult status to stardom. He concluded a bit more than 90 minutes later with an animated version of Crosby, Stills & Nash’s “Southern Cross.”

In between came 16 other songs, including such favorites as “Fins,” “A Pirate Looks at 40,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and the inevitable “Margaritaville.”

Buffett fondly recalled his first gigs here, 40 years ago, “at a coffee shop at SDSU” — the now-defunct Back Door — and sprinkled in a number of local references during his set. (Mraz in turn gave a shout out to Java Joe’s, the Ocean Beach coffee house where he got his start.)

Buffett’s enduring appeal was perhaps best summarized Saturday by Lauren Mackin, who flew in from Arizona with her husband, Brian, a 27-time Buffett-concertgoer, their 19-year-old son, Darren, and his girlfriend, Emily.

“The great thing about a Jimmy Buffett concert,” Lauren Mackin said, “is that it’s like you’re at a karaoke bar with 50,000 of your best friends that you didn’t know you had.”

The concert’s promoters declined to disclose the attendance, but it looked like close to a full house for the 28,000-capacity show at Snapdragon. The new venue is at the same Mission Valley site that once housed San Diego Stadium, San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium, Qualcomm Stadium and SDCCU Stadium — to cite the four successive names of the larger stadium that used to stand there.

With a concert capacity of 28,000 — 7,000 less than for football games and other sporting events — Snapdragon is, by comparison, an intimate, streamlined venue. It seats half as many people as the sprawling, 53-year-old stadium it replaced.

The sight-lines were good from most of the nearly dozen locations I watched from during the course of Saturday’s nearly four-hour event. And the sound was much better than at any concert I can recall attending at the previous stadium.

The crisp, well-balanced audio mix may also reflect the skill of Buffett and Mraz’s respective sound engineers. They, thankfully, resisted the urge to turn everything up to 11, which has long been an unfortunate tendency for far too many stadium music acts.

Where Snapdragon faltered Saturday was in the extremely long wait times for concertgoers to purchase food and, more often, drinks.

While there’s no known scientific study, so far, that confirms Buffett’s fans consume significantly more alcoholic beverages than college football-game attendees, the inordinately long lines at his concert here suggest that may well be the case.

Then again, by the end of the night, a couple seated in front of this reviewer posed for a selfie with 10 empty plastic cognac glasses that they had consumed during the concert.

And Buffett, a billionaire whose empire includes more than one alcohol-related product, was happy to toast the crowd in song, at one point ad-libbing the lyric: “What would Jimmy Buffett do right now? Go to the Belly Up and buy you a drink!”

Watch Jimmy Buffett Cover ‘Southern Cross’ at His Final Concert

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

The world woke up to the sad news Saturday morning that Jimmy Buffett died at the age of 76. “Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” read a statement on his website. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.”

They haven’t released a cause of death, but he admitted to health problems in recent years, including a hospitalization in May. “I wound up back in the hospital to address some issues that needed immediate attention,” he wrote to fans in May, explaining why he couldn’t play a show in Charleston, South Carolina. “Growing old is not for sissies…You all make my life more meaningful and fulfilled that I would have ever imagined as a toe headed [sic] little boy sitting on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts, you amazing years of loyalty.”

Gypsy rose blanchard has separated from her husband and moved back home, this moment to arise: the revisionary genius of beyoncé’s 'blackbird', gop lawmaker thinks he exposed busload of 'illegals' ... it was the gonzaga basketball team.

Like all Buffett concerts, the setlist was heavy on singalong favorites like “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Last Mango in Paris,” “Fins,” and “Margaritaville.” The set wrapped up with “Southern Cross.” It’s a 1982 Crosby, Stills, and Nash song, but it became a Buffett staple in 1996. He played it over 830 times. Here’s fan-shot video of the last performance in San Diego:

Buffett’s last public appearance took place July 2 when he joined longtime Coral Reefers Band guitarist Mac McAnally for an eight-song set at Sunset Cove in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. This was just two months before Buffett died, but he somehow had the strength to sing “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” “Cheeseburger In Paradise,” and “A Pirate Looks at 40.” The set ended, appropriately enough, with “Margaritaville.” Here’s video.

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band at San Diego Snapdragon Stadium

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will perform at the new Snapdragon Stadium for one night only Saturday, October 22 at 7pm, as part of Jimmy Buffett’s Life On the Flip Side Redux Tour 2022. They will be joined by special guest, local San Diego GRAMMY Award-winning artist Jason Mraz and opening act, Mac McAnally .

Local Parrot Heads won't want to miss their chance to soak in the full Margaritaville experience.

Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.com

“We are not only excited to be announcing Snapdragon Stadium’s first concert, but we are beyond thrilled to open San Diego’s newest, state-of-the-art venue with such an iconic artist like Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band,” said Adam Millar, General Manager. “Buffett, along with hometown hero, Jason Mraz, will make for an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience you can’t miss.”

2022 brings much to celebrate! The tour, aptly titled Life on the Flip Side – Redux, as Jimmy and the Coral Reefer Band continue to live Life on the Flip Side, which has had many meanings this past year! We are also celebrating Jimmy Buffett’s 75th trip around the sun and the 50th anniversary of his journey to Key West, the magical spot that provided (and continues to give) much inspiration behind the legend’s songs and infectious attitudes.

The set list will include selections from Jimmy’s latest releases, Life on the Flip Side (2020, debuted #2 on Billboard) and Songs You Don’t Know By Heart (2020, inspired by fans, acoustic revisits of lesser played songs) and of course all of the fan favorites!

Special guest Jason Mraz released Lalalalovesongs earlier this year, a compilation of his most memorable love songs, including the worldwide smash “I’m Yours.” The collection also includes GRAMMY-winning duet “Lucky,” “Have It All,” “You and I Both,” and “A Beautiful Mess,” among many others.

“It’s an honor to be asked to take part in the fun,” said Mraz. “My band and I are really looking forward to it!"

Review of the first concert at Snapdragon Stadium

The San Diego Union-Tribune has a review of Saturday’s show: “ Jimmy Buffett and Jason Mraz turn Snapdragon Stadium into a giant beach party, 8 miles inland “

Jimmy Buffett and Jason Mraz have each performed numerous times in San Diego over the years — Buffett since the early 1970s and native Virginian-turned-Oceanside resident Mraz since the late 1990s. But Saturday night was the first instance in memory at which either played second fiddle here to a large, new, outdoor concrete edifice.

Longtime Buffett collaborator Mac McAnally was, in fact, the first artist to perform at Saturday’s concert. The show had been pushed back from its original date last October, after Buffett was hospitalized for undisclosed reasons.

One thought on “ Review of the first concert at Snapdragon Stadium ”

As an employee I honestly believe that we did an awesome job considering the number of people and the many new add-ons for the concert such as seats and pop up bars on the field. Being the first concert we learned from things to make the next one better. Giving a shout out to all employees @ Snapdragon Stadium. I think we’re pretty awesome.

We found jimmy buffett tickets that are cheaper than a margarita.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

It’s time to get your fins out.

Legendary tropical rocker Jimmy Buffett is returning to venues all over North America to entertain Parrotheads from coast to coast from March through May this year on his ‘Second Wind Tour.’

And you wouldn’t believe it but we found some tickets to the “Cheeseburger In Paradise” crooner going for as low as $12 before fees on Vivid Seats.

That’s cheaper than a cold one at a concert.

Heck, while we’re at it, it’s probably less than what it costs to grab a margarita at one of Buffett’s Margaritavilles.

(Editor’s note: It is. The ‘Uptown Top Shelf Margarita’ at the Times Square Margaritaville costs $14.75 ).

It really is “Five O’ Clock Somewhere.”

Buffett died Sept. 1 after a four-year battle with Merkel cell skin cancer. He was 76.

In the course of his 50-year-career Buffett cultivated a devout army of fans who called themselves ParrotHeads, released some of the most treasured songs in current music history (“Margaritaville,” “Come Monday,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere”), authored several books and built a brand that encompassed restaurants, hotels, cruise lines and a Broadway show.

His last album, “ Equal Strain on All Parts ,” was released posthumously in November and features collaborations with McCartney, Emmylou Harris and  Angélique Kidjo .

Paul McCartney and the Eagles are among the A-list acts who will pay tribute to the late Jimmy Buffett at an all-star tribute concert set for April 11 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett, as the show is billed, will also feature Jon Bon Jovi, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile , Kenny Chesney, Sheryl Crow, Eric Church, Jack Johnson and Pitbull, organizers announced Monday. Zac Brown, Jake Owen, Scotty Emerick, Caroline Jones, Mac McAnally, Jake Shimabukuro and Buffett’s former backing band, the Coral Reefer Band, will also appear, along with additional artists yet to be revealed.

A wryly literate songwriter whose success with hits like 1977’s “ Margaritaville ” laid the groundwork for a lifestyle empire that would eventually make him a billionaire, Buffett died in September at age 76 from Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare form of skin cancer. After his death, his family reported that he’d lived with the disease for four years, during which he continued to play shows; his final performance came in July in Rhode Island.
