I saw him once back at his peak, the show was okay, but once was enough for me. Not on my list of performers to whom I will willingly give my money. I saw Neil Diamond around the same time, much better show, it's a shame he's been forced to retire. Billy Joel has more talent and put on a better show... a lot of performers do...
But there is no denying that Springsteen does have a devoted following. To each their own. I'm certain there are plenty of people who have no appreciation for Jimmy Buffett. I don't hold it against them, it's not their fault they're wrong...
I saw Buffet in Boise 2018. Wasn’t a Parrothead prior, but DAWG .. He was fun!!
Right? I've seen him numerous times and every show was a blast. From tailgating before to the show itself. And his best songs aren't even the ones he's known for. I've always been left with the impression that he truly appreciates his fans, I know I've seen more than one group or artist that left me feeling like they were just going through the motions... but never Jimmy.
I always tell people, if you like even one Buffett song, go see him live. You'll be a fan for the rest of your life.
