Wrigleyville is transformed into Margaritaville as Jimmy Buffett, his band, and many thousands of his dancing, beer-guzzling, Hawaiian shirt-wearing, lei-draped fans invade the venerable Chicago baseball stadium for Live at Wrigley Field Double Header. Held over Labor Day weekend, 2005, the concerts themselves (a daytime show occupies one disc, with a nighttime set on the second) are standard Buffett fare--i.e., another opportunity for the above-named "Parrotheads" to pah-tay--but as the singer-songwriter frequently observes, the venue is something special. Before Buffett arrived, concerts on the sacred ground known as "the friendly confines" were as rare as Cub victories in the World Series (the team's last world championship, in 1908, preceded the opening of Wrigley Field by some six years), and Buffett, a onetime Chicago resident and longtime Cubs fan, is clearly thrilled to be there. Musically, familiar titles like "Cheeseburger in Paradise," Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw," and, of course, "Margaritaville" pretty much sum it up; those looking for depth would be as likely to find it on, say, a Paris Hilton record as here. Simply put, Jimmy Buffett don't play no blues, or lament lost love, or bemoan the state of the world; this is sun-soaked party music, no more and no less, and the folks eat it up. But the band (some 15 musicians, singers, and dancers) is right on it, and several moments during the first set evoke the loose-but-tight, slide guitar-driven feel of one of the great American groups, Little Feat (whose keyboardist, Bill Payne, is sitting in). And while Buffett is no one's idea of a world-class vocalist, his songs almost invariably include catchy choruses that everyone loves to sing along with, and his choice of covers includes Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin'," Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl," Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Southern Cross," the Grateful Dead's "Scarlet Begonias," and Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" (found among the bonus materials). Film montages of Buffett living the good life help break up the visual monotony of a long (165 minutes) concert, and technically the shows look and sound terrific. And don't miss ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro's astonishing rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (also found among the bonus stuff), which may be the highlight of the whole gig. --Sam Graham

I've been a fan a long time, before the Cheeseburgers and Margaritaville songs. The dvd is almost the same as being at the concert.
Briefly, buy it, and watch it again and again and show the kids..
Jimmy needs to do a dvd for every years concerts.
This is what a concert should be March 27, 2008

Although I have never seen Jimmy in person, due to living on the far side of the world, I have long been a fan of his music. I don't think anyone would admit that Jimmy has the best voice put upon this earth, but I don't think Jimmy would admit to this either. His songs have always either come from the heart and / or put you in one of his cool locations that we would all like to be in.
When you see what happens in the concert arena (Wrigley Field in this instance - the best use of the venue since the first "Blues Brothers" movie, outside of baseball) you know that the whole band are enjoying the whole experience as much as the audience. It's one big party for everyone and, from the glimpses of the audience prior to going in to the show through to the final number, that is what you get. In all honesty, how many concerts do you go to where the whole band actually look as though they are enjoying what they do, and you get taken along for the ride?
The concert itself is a good mix of hits and new numbers, with the addition of also being a fundraiser for Jimmy's beloved New Orleans following hurricane "Katrina". For any fan of the man, I can't recommend this highly enough. Put your feet up, grab a favourite beverage and sit back and enjoy the experience.
The only thing better than this is if Jimmy can tour his show down here in New Zealand.
Just like being there! January 18, 2008

This is absolutely the best video I have seen in a long, long time. If you're a parrothead it is a must have for your collection. Made me smile and sing along the whole time! Jimmy Buffet is absolutely adorable!
 phoned it in December 29, 2007

I am not a parrot head, but do like buffet's music and have heard good things about his live performances. This video is almost unwatchable. He does not seem to be making any effort to make good music. He should watch a springsteen concert to see someone that does care.
