Jimmy Buffett played the first of two consecutive Saturday nights at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas this past weekend, treating the crowd to 41 years of hits and rarities.
Buffett regularly dipped back to his pre-Margaritaville days with seven songs from before his breakthrough album, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes. He also was generous with giving stage time to both regular band member Mac McAnally and newcomer Brendan Mayer who is the son of Coral Reefer Band member Peter Meyer.
Touching on songs from ten of his 27 studio albums, Buffett gave two 70’s albums, Changes in Latitudes and A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean, the most time, performing three songs from each.
