Outstanding, the show as well as the tailgating. Unbelieveable the following after 30+ years. The age mix of the audience is amazing.

My husband and I loved it. It was my husband's first Jimmy Buffett concert. (My first one was the Concert at Texas Stadium with Jimmy sang with Alan Jackson and George Strait in May of 2004.) The "island" atmosphere of a Jimmy Buffett concert is one of a kind.

At age 62, Jimmy Buffett has not slowed down or lessed the quality of his high-energy, feel-good concerts. Judging from the now-familiar ,laid-back grins on most of the "Parrotheads" in attendance, a grand time was had by all, this writer incuded!

Yes, it was an awesome cocert. The venue is much better than the old Smirnoff! It's awlays fun to see a middle age + udience having a great time feeling young again! The RV area was great too. Plenty of beads changed hands also!

Buffet or Lavigne? Are you kidding? Like anyone with an ounce of taste I was at the Granada for James McMurtry. Sorry you missed it.

Jimmy is still fabulous after all these years. I have been a fan for over 35 years and he still seems the same just a little older like all of us. The crowed rocked.

Awesome! Tons of fun! My first Buffett concert and it was everything I thought it would be.
I won't miss the next one!

I have been to many Jimmy Buffett concerts (major Parrothead) and this was by far THE BEST ONE!! Thanks to the extremly friendly Frisco Police, Fire Dept, and the Pizza Hut Park Staff. Last year I went to the Houston Show and the police and concert venue staff hassled concert goers and were very unfriendly. I will come back to Dallas/Frisco concert next year. Only bad thing...not enough security on the floor to protect the people up close that kept getting mobbed by people with not so great ticktes.

The show was great -- Buffett played the old songs well, had some new ones, let band members jam and a good time was had by all. The sound system at Pizza Hut Park needs some work, as does the video screens. No Coke prducts is a drag, the costs were out of touch with all this is right with the world (what were they selling, unleaded gas?!) and many folks seemed to think screeming conversations all night over the tunes was fun for them, but not so much for the folks around them. I perfer the lawn down in Fair Park for Buffett rather than the corporate setting in Frisco but it was still a load of fun. That's why JB is the best!

Great show... I was able to retrieve the landshark flag that flew on the flagpole... Jimmy requested it to be put up during rehearsals and refused to practice until it was flying!!
