Editorial Reviews
A Jimmy Buffett concert on a tropical island. Just walk down the beach for a once-in-a-lifetime intimate performance from Margaritaville's favorite son. That's what a few thousand fans got to experience at Jimmy's Caribbean shows on March 23 and 24, 2007. Now everyone else can, too. A double CD and an 82 minute DVD were recorded live at the Dune Preserve, Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla, in Bankie Banx's backyard and the site of famous Moonsplash Festivals. The CD's include 30 songs, all of your favorites, plus some special in-concert rarities like Domino College, Waiting In Vain, When Salome Plays the Drum, King of Somewhere Hot, Treat Her Like A Lady, and Distantly In Love. The DVD was recorded in High Definition and is in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.

I went with "Live in Anguilla" because a) I love live albums, and b) this one had plenty of songs that would differentiate it from "Live at Fenway Park". Sure, the standards are all there, but it's the inclusion of songs from some of the older albums (and a few of the newer ones) that I hadn't heard live versions of, that really sold me on picking this one up. The bonus DVD was an added excitement for me.
The album is recorded over two days in Anguilla - Day 1 was an intimate acoustic set on the beach with Jimmy and most of the Coral Reefers. Day 2 was the full production concert with the Coral Reefer Band and a few special guests. The DVD does a really cool job of using "One Particular Harbour" to transition from the beach to the concert. The 2-CD set plays the entire concert set list in order (according to Buffett World set lists), and then tacks on a couple of beach songs not included in the concert.
The only knock I have on this CD set is when I compare it to "Live at Fenway" and the live show I saw this past summer. On the Fenway recording, there is interaction between Jimmy and the crowd. And, while some of the song introductions don't seem to change from one concert to the next, it still gives a "feels like you're there" vibe to a live album. But, if the producers cut 10-15 seconds of audio from between each song in order to add 3 "on the beach" songs to the album, then it is well worth giving up that crowd interaction.
Production-wise, the audio is great, and Jimmy sounded great on the album. On "Fenway," there were a couple of songs where the lyrics got a little jumbled or out of place, but with "Anguilla" everything sounds spot-on so far (through 4-5 listenings). Overall a great addition to the collection, especially for the chance to hear some of the not-so-common songs live.
I'm a sailor. I've bareboat chartered in the Caribbean. There's salt water in my veins. I'm from Florida. I'd give up a couple years of my life to be in Jimmy's skin for a couple months. I've read all his books. This compilation is a "must have" if you like well engineered CD's in a fantastic setting. Forget the old songs...they're all classics, just like Mr. Buffett. Enjoy them, the fantastic shots of water and boats, and the obvious joy of the people who had the great fortune of being able to attend this "festival"...."concert" is too stuffy a term for this. Jimmy in shorts, t-shirt, flip flops (which he gives away to two women in the crowd at the end of the event, one who can be clearly seen mouthing, "OH, MY GOD!!!", is at his best.
My favorite part is the clever transition from a song being sung on the beach to the stage performance. Get the DVD and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Fins Up, My Friends
I bought LIVE IN ANGUILLA as a gift for my wife. I had heard the very mediocre LIVE AT WRIGLEY FIELD, which features a horrible sound mix and a lackluster performance, and I was suspicious about whether I would be wasting my money on ANGUILLA. I read the mostly-positive reviews here, and I decided to take a chance.
This album reminds me of everything that is good about Buffett's music. I don't know if it was the remote locale, but if that's what brings out such great performances in Buffett, he needs to start playing more obscure locations and recording them.
It's got lots of favorites,including "Changes in Latitudes...," "One Particular Harbour," "Volcano," and more. The version of "Treat Her Like a Lady" is just plain breath-taking, and "Weather With You" sounds better than the studio version. I love the muted trumpet. He also pulls out some tunes that he doesn't play often anymore, including "Carnival World."
In fact, it's the rare songs that are the real treat. The covers of The Beach Boys' "In My Room" and Marley's "Waiting in Vain" [sung by his guitarist] were huge surprises. I've always been a bigger fan of Buffett's acoustic songs, so "Distantly in Love" was a fitting closer for my ears.
...which brings me to the best and worst thing about the set: the "beach show," a short acoustic + steel drum set performed on the beach the day before the real concert. The three songs from this short beach concert [end of CD2] are among my favorite things Buffett has EVER released, studio or otherwise. To me, this is what his music is about---a bunch of friends who love music, sitting on a beach with the sand between their toes, singing great tunes to the sound of the waves.
So, my question is this: What happened to "Jolly Mon," "Banana Republics," "Coast of Marseilles," "In My Room," "Presents to Send You," "Stranded in a Sand Bar," and "A Pirate Looks at 40/Redemption Song" from the beach show? Those songs are all listed in the set list in the CD booklet, yet they're not on the CD. It is a complete injustice that the entire beach show wasn't included. If nothing else, it should have and could have been included on the DVD.
Still, in spite of this issue, it's a great CD. With all due respect to his last few albums, it's the most satisfying Buffett music I've bought in a long, long time. So...how about releasing the beach concert as an iTunes download, at the very least?
If that's not a possibility due to technical issues or something like that, then I think Buffett should do more of those types of shows and RECORD AND RELEASE them! We all love the fun sing-a-long songs like "Cheeseburger," but the beach show drew attention to the fact that Buffett is a very talented songwriter, too.
ANGUILLA is the best thing, in terms of complete albums, that he's released since FRUITCAKES. I strongly recommend it for Buffett fans who may have felt a little disillusioned with his most recent few albums and miss the magic.

Jimmy Buffett spielt mit den Coral Reefern & Gästen viele bekannte Hits (Volcano, Fins, etc.) aber auch neueres Material (Anspieltipp: Autour du Rocher) auf 2 CDs. Die Titelauswahl ist gut gelungen und unterscheidet sich von anderen Live-Alben. Spielfreude von Buffett und Co.: Klasse, Sound: sehr gut eingefangen.
Als Bonbon bekommt man eine DVD - und die ist der Hammer. Buffett und die Coral Reefer unplugged am Strand (wunderschön: Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants) und auf der Bühne vor karibischem Meer. Der Sound ist absolut klasse, die Spielzeit länger als erwartet (ich glaube um die 80 Minuten).
Eigentlich gibt es keine schwächeren Nummern. Absolut top - zumindest meiner Meinung nach - A Pirate Looks at Forty/Redemption Song (schöne Idee, die Lieder zusammenzuführen) und Treat Her Like a Lady.
Hier können Sie nichts falsch machen. Buffett, wie er leibt und lebt. Für sonnige Tage oder für regnerische.
