Essential for Parrotheads!!! Nov 08, 2007 By Paul Bellocq "pmbellocq"
I have gradually gotten away from being a Parrothead after Banana Wind was released, but this one looked like a winner, so I bought it. These are some of the best versions of Buffet favorites that I have ever heard, thanks to the higher mix of the steel drums and the overall sound quality. There are also quite a few concert rarities, which gives a very fresh feel to these old songs. He covers his entire career on this one.

As for the DVD, which I watched first, it looks like a private party for the mega rich on the most expensive island in the Caribbean. Sure, most Parrotheads could afford the $100 ticket price that 3500 lucky few managed to score, but one has to be filthy rich or just plain crazy in order to have been able to actually attend this show. Thank goodness that this was recorded for the rest of us at a bargain price. This one is a no-brainer.

Greatest Live Version Yet!! Nov 09, 2007 By Sergio C. Muniz Jr. ""Three" in 2007"
My wife is the "woman to blame" - she is the one that got me started listening to Buffett. We have many of his CDs, but there is nothing like hearing him live in concert. We have numerous other live CDs and DVDs. I have to say that this is the best live version due to the high audio quality. It truly sounds like you are there close to him on stage. The acoustics are the best sounding from all of his live releases. If you had to choose between any of the live versions, this would be it. The price is also great considering you get 2 CDs and a DVD. The songs he plays are oldies, but some are ones he hasn't played for a long time. Truly one of his best masterpieces!!!

MW1813's Review of Live In Anguilla Nov 07, 2007 By gretzky4 "gretzky4"
I received my copy yesterday (11/6). I immediately listened to both CDs and later watched half of the DVD. I had to go to bed at a decent hour. I had mixed feelings about the music at first. Maybe it's because it was a smaller venue than the stadiums we're used to hearing and seeing concerts in, but I got the feeling that this was more like an "unplugged" version of a JB concert. Jimmy and the band sounds great but the songs were very much like the recorded versions. There just wasn't that much improvising and ad-libbing as on previous live recordings. I don't think it's because Jimmy is slowing down, more like playing to a smaller crowd, maybe. In any case, I still enjoyed the CDs and the video is worth the price alone. Phins up!

Buffett live...again Nov 07, 2007 By John R. Herb "Herbie462"
I bought Jimmy's latest live the day it was released (11/6/07.) There really isn't much of anything that wasn't heard before (many times over.) It is a good cd. Buffett fans like myself will buy virtually anything he puts out simply because it's Buffett. The approximate 82 minute included dvd is worth the $23 I paid alone. Definately worth picking up, but don't look for anything spectacular on this disc. Fins up!!

A reminder of what makes Buffett music good May 13, 2008 By Matthew S. Lucas "mattl"
I've been a Buffett fan for 20 years. I have all of his studio albums, and several [but not all] of the live ones. Buffett's best songs take the listener to a different world and reveal characters that we'd all love to meet, adventures we'd all love to experience. But I don't wear rose-colored parrot glasses; at their worst, some of Buffett's songs can be a little too novelty, finding themselves to be much more funny or entertaining than they really are. For every "That's What Living is To Me" or "One Particular Harbour," there are also songs like "You'll Never Work in 'Dis Bidness Again" [which ruined the otherwise-perfect CREOLA, but that's another story].

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.
