Indoor concert or not, Parrotheads turned out in force Thursday to pre-party in honor of Jimmy Buffett's first-ever stop in the Treasure Valley. It looked like a game day by early afternoon in the parking lot outside Bronco Stadium, where RVs and canopies crowded into a miniature not-quite-tropical paradise. (Brrrrrr!)
Were you there? How were the festivities? What was your opinion of the concert itself? (Assuming you remember.) How was the sound — and vibe — inside renaissance hotel heathrow map Taco Bell Arena? Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments section.
Ten-year-old Reagan Cox, 10, and her dad, Doug Cox, drove from Pullman, Wash., through the snow, to Boise's Jimmy Buffett show. They also took in a show in Seattle on Tuesday. Reagan says she's been a Parrothead for 10 years, "since (I) was born." They got the license plates when they lived in Twin Falls years ago.
Cindy Wade is no novice to Jimmy Buffett concerts. "This is like my 31st," she laughs. renaissance hotel heathrow map She learned to blow a conch shell just for Boise's pre-concert party in the parking lot. She took in a show in Las Vegas last Saturday, too. "A true-blue parrot," teases a friend.
It's impossible not to have fun at a Buffett show however Taco Bell Arena was not the best place to hold a show of this caliber. The sound to anybody not directly in front of the stage was bouncing off so badly, it was in inaudible unless he spoke loud and slowly. We were deprived of many of the spontanious ramblings Jimmy through out to the appreciative crowd on the floor. I've done my last show at TBA.
I've only seen one concert renaissance hotel heathrow map (Journey and Heart)there and wasn't too impressed with the sound, and i was in front of the stage. I thought renaissance hotel heathrow map it was just me. However, after the show, my car was parked near the Journey renaissance hotel heathrow map tour buses so my wife and i thought we'd hang around renaissance hotel heathrow map and maybe catch them walking renaissance hotel heathrow map to the bus. Awesomely, there was only a handful of folks hanging around so when they did come out they posed for pictures with everyone renaissance hotel heathrow map and hung around and chatted with us for about 30 minutes! When i was talking with Neal Schon he asked me if I thought they sounded alright. What am i gonna say, i said of course. He replied, "no, seriously, I hated the sound quality in that building" and he wanted me to be honest. So i told him that i noticed something different (My wife and i have seen Journey probably a dozen or more times around the country). He said to Jonathan renaissance hotel heathrow map Cain "told you so!" Then he mentioned next time they come back they'll probably play the place the other side of town (Idaho Center). Last summer renaissance hotel heathrow map they played the ampitheatre!
I've been to a lot of Buffett concerts - this was at least 12 - and I thought it was the best overall experience. Great song set, fantastic crowd and just a good all around feel. TBA sound does leave something to be desired, however, though I have been to worse. Think maybe next time the Idaho Center would be a good venue, but don't know too much about the rules there, etc.
We were in Parquet renaissance hotel heathrow map 7, row D. We thought renaissance hotel heathrow map the concert was incredibly awesome! First ever Jimmy Buffett concert. As for the sound quality, we thought it was fantastic. In fact, my husband mentioned that he could understand the words, both spoken sung, better than any other concert before...in any venue...and he's been to a lot of concerts in different venues. We has such a blast last night!! So thankful Jimmy Coral Reefers added Boise to their tour dates!
I was on the floor, up close, so the sound was really good. Last concert I went to, that was not the case and the sound was poor. But, it's a basketball arena, so can't expect much. One problem was the chubbies--those floor seats are not made for people renaissance hotel heathrow map of size, thus take up part of the space for those of us of normal size. And, why are there always idiots who just have to talk through entire concerts? Why do they even bother going?
But I remember a time in Boise when you were happy to attend any concert. Even if it was at the fairgrounds (pretty sure it was Cheap Trick circa 1978) so comparatively, this was like a cheeseburger in paradise!
