JB usually does outdoor venues with 20,000 parrot heads (check my April post about the Frisco concert). The outdoor concerts are out of hand for me because the atmosphere overtakes the music. Last night the sound was set for the venue and it was a great experience. Jimmy Buffett made the concert all about Tulsa and Oklahoma. The Video screens behind the band many times showed scenes from our state's past and present. he and Mac McAnally does a song titled, "Back where I come from" I gave me chills. He ended the show in the second encore by singing "Tulsa Time" and "This Land is Your Land". Great show, Great 12 piece band and back-up singers, Great Crowd---- Especially when it was freezing rain and snow outside and 24 degrees. Jimmy has a song that says:"If we were not crazy who would go insane!" So yes we were crazy.
Our drive to the concert on the turnpike was an average speed of 45 miles an hour. The speed on they way back was 33. As we left the Metro we came up on three snow plows that stretched across both lanes. We followed them all the way home.
It did get interesting as a charter bus passed us and the snow plows on the shoulder of the road at about 50 MPH during the ride.
The fun thing about the trip home: XM radio was replaying the concert as we travelled.
FUN times 2.
PS Jimmy will be back to Oklahoma more often since they are building a 280 million dollar hotel, casino and Margaritaville restaurant on the banks of the Arkansas building in Tulsa.
