 Essential for Parrotheads!!! November 8, 2007
Paul Bellocq (Slidell, LA USA)
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
I have gradually gotten away from being a Parrothead after Banana Wind was released, but this one looked like a winner, so I bought it. These are some of the best versions of Buffet favorites that I have ever heard, thanks to the higher mix of the steel drums and the overall sound quality. There are also quite a few concert rarities, which gives a very fresh feel to these old songs. He covers his entire career on this one.
As for the DVD, which I watched first, it looks like a private party for the mega rich on the most expensive island in the Caribbean. Sure, most Parrotheads could afford the $100 ticket price that 3500 lucky few managed to score, but one has to be filthy rich or just plain crazy in order to have been able to actually attend this show. Thank goodness that this was recorded for the rest of us at a bargain price. This one is a no-brainer.
Greatest Live Version Yet!! November 9, 2007

My wife is the "woman to blame" - she is the one that got me started listening to Buffett. We have many of his CDs, but there is nothing like hearing him live in concert. We have numerous other live CDs and DVDs. I have to say that this is the best live version due to the high audio quality. It truly sounds like you are there close to him on stage. The acoustics are the best sounding from all of his live releases. If you had to choose between any of the live versions, this would be it. The price is also great considering you get 2 CDs and a DVD. The songs he plays are oldies, but some are ones he hasn't played for a long time. Truly one of his best masterpieces!!!
 Buffett live...again November 7, 2007

I bought Jimmy's latest live the day it was released (11/6/07.) There really isn't much of anything that wasn't heard before (many times over.) It is a good cd. Buffett fans like myself will buy virtually anything he puts out simply because it's Buffett. The approximate 82 minute included dvd is worth the $23 I paid alone. Definately worth picking up, but don't look for anything spectacular on this disc. Fins up!!
MW1813's Review of Live In Anguilla November 7, 2007

I received my copy yesterday (11/6). I immediately listened to both CDs and later watched half of the DVD. I had to go to bed at a decent hour. I had mixed feelings about the music at first. Maybe it's because it was a smaller venue than the stadiums we're used to hearing and seeing concerts in, but I got the feeling that this was more like an "unplugged" version of a JB concert. Jimmy and the band sounds great but the songs were very much like the recorded versions. There just wasn't that much improvising and ad-libbing as on previous live recordings. I don't think it's because Jimmy is slowing down, more like playing to a smaller crowd, maybe. In any case, I still enjoyed the CDs and the video is worth the price alone. Phins up!
"...LET'S ROCK THIS BOAT !" (Jimmy Buffett Live In Anguilla is easy going Parrothead fun and pleasurable entertainment) July 23, 2008

Jimmy Buffett's Live in Anguilla (2007) was recorded during an outdoor stage show at reggae singer Bankie Banx's beach bar, The Dune Preserve, in the British West Indies. Bankie also joins Jimmy and The Coral Reefer Band on stage to sing his own Still In Paradise (that's Bankie pictured on the album cover with Jimmy). The show was a benefit concert that assisted local charities and foundations.
This is a 3-disc set (2 CDs, 1 DVD) that's packaged in a double clamshell jewel case and includes a colorful booklet. Combined, the two CDs offer 30 songs, and the sound quality is absolutely flawless. Crisp and clear, it's easy to imagine being right there in paradise, enjoying this professionally casual performance.
Most of the songs feature the steel drum and sexy female backing vocals, which give the music a very nice Carribean flavor, but songs like Domino College, Fins, and Cheeseburger In Paradise all rock with heavy drums and meaty electric and slide guitar solos. Mostly, this show is a laid back affair that's perfectly suited for rockers and Parrotheads who are kinda sorta grown up and well adjusted. Nobody's singing the blues here, that's for sure.
Jimmy, as always, is having a great time, and his audience quite naturally adores him. Buffett is sort of the antithesis to the modern day rock star. He's a sailor, pilot, author and businessman, and many everyday adults find him much more accessible than an emotionally troubled head banger or a stage prancer wearing high heels and make up.
Heading up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my hush-puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock n' roll
Those lines are from an early Jimmy Buffet hit, Come Monday, and there's a nice version of the song included here. Buffett cheerfully serves up most of the Parrothead anthems and biggies including Margaritaville, Changes In Latitudes Changes In Attitudes, A Pirate Looks At Forty, Volcano, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor, and It's Five O'clock Somewhere. Other highlights are the fantastic versions of One Particular Harbor and Treat Her Like A Lady, Buffett's tribute to the ocean.
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
I guess that's the reason why I treat her like a lady
There are a few surprisingly good covers here, too. Of course, Jimmy had a hit single with Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, and that's included, but he also performs pleasant versions of CSN's Southern Cross, The Beach Boys' In My Room, and Bob Marley's Waiting In Vain.
The 82-minute DVD includes an intimate session down on the beach with two acoustic guitars, a steel drum, and a bongo drum in front of a small group of people. That morphs into the actual stage show, and it's all great footage that's very enjoyable. Shots of the audience having fun, boats in the water, Jimmy piloting a plane, and sweet young thangs in bikinis cut in and out of the concert scenes. Parrothead Heaven!
Live in Anguilla is essential for Parrotheads, and Jimmy Buffett fans will get a top quality updated live album with a DVD. There's nothing groundbreaking here, just summertime family fun and live music. The essence of Jimmy Buffett and the Parrothead phenomena is quite pleasantly experienced here, but this set probably won't instantly turn someone who's not a fan into a Parrothead. After a few margaritas maybe...
