But as soon as we arrived it was clear that we were truly rookies to this scene. The fans around us set up elaborate tiki bars, inflated decorations, blended Margaritas, and &#8211; in one case &#8211; unloaded an ice luge for liquor, in case you needed a more thrilling way to take shots. Despite the scorching hot sun and humid conditions, this fan base was not deterred from wetting their whistles in anticipation of the party that would cap off the night.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving on the lot pretty early, venue staff were determined to contain the festivities from the start, stopping fans from setting up their liquor collections, table games, and canopies. The group parked next to us was well aware of these obstacles, quickly setting up an umbrella to keep out the sun, proclaiming &#8220;we know from the last few years that they won&#8217;t allow the EZ Up.&#8221; We were assured that if it weren&#8217;t for the heavy-handed security presence, the pre-show festivities would be truly off the hook with more sand spread over the parking lot, and extensive tailgating setups. Still, they knew it was only a matter of time before they could carry on with their pregame plans once the lot filled with more cars and provided a bit more cover. At that point, one Parrothead from Georgia commented, the security decides, &#8220;if you can&#8217;t beat &#8217;em, join &#8217;em!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-51070\" alt=\"Jiffy Lube Live was ground zero for 5 o'clock paraphenalia \" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Jiffy Lube Live was ground zero for 5 o'clock paraphenalia \" data-id=\"51070\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-562x375.jpg 562w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-699x466.jpg 699w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7021-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Amidst the sea of car-top shark fins, &#8220;It&#8217;s 5 o&#8217;clock somewhere&#8221; signs, inflatable parrots, &#8220;Fins Up&#8221; tattoos, Hawaiian shirts, flamingos, corn hole sets, and pirate hats, it was clear that every fan in attendance was on Island Time, seeking out a night of relaxation. I encountered one fan with a shirt that read &#8220;Margaritaville is a way of life,&#8221; a message that was crystal clear to me before I even made my way through the crowd of more than 20,000 to get to my seat in the pit. One crew was there representing four generations of Parrotheads (and Parakeets, as the youngest fans are called) in their family. The family patriarch was attending the show with his children and grandchildren. His mother, he had mentioned, was in attendance at the show last summer, but passed away earlier this year. Still, this family was so dedicated to the Parrothead scene that they brought her remains in an urn to be part of their day on the Son of a Son of a Sailor Tour 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Coming into this show, I knew almost nothing about Jimmy Buffett. I knew two or three songs, that he owned Landshark Lager and two restaurant chains, and that he had a cultish following that called themselves Parrotheads. But as soon as I took my seat, I could appreciate his dedication to the brand he has cultivated of &#8220;drunken Caribbean rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll.&#8221; The set looks like a dock, complete with seagulls, decorative mermaids, and screens that look like sailboats and shark fins, and Jimmy Steps onstage, barefoot as always, with his wristbands and board shorts, ready to treat his adoring fans to a night of hit songs, lively covers, and localized banter.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-51072\" alt=\"A new generation of Parrotheads enjoy the Jimmy Buffett Tailgate Experience\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" title=\"A new generation of Parrotheads enjoy the Jimmy Buffett Tailgate Experience\" data-id=\"51072\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-181x120.jpg 181w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-220x146.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-151x100.jpg 151w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-407x270.jpg 407w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-376x250.jpg 376w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-241x160.jpg 241w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-350x232.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-565x375.jpg 565w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-702x466.jpg 702w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7158-843x560.jpg 843w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>From the opening notes of the show through the set-closing &#8220;Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,&#8221; Jimmy showed an almost symbiotic connection with his audience, feeding their energy and being fed in return. Beach balls flew through the air all night as Buffett played all of his classics, including &#8220;Cheeseburger in Paradise,&#8221; &#8220;Son of a Son of a Sailor,&#8221; &#8220;Volcano,&#8221; and &#8220;Come Monday.&#8221; And of course, the Parrotheads joined in for a little choreography during &#8220;Fins,&#8221; then transitioned from one song to the next with scripted banter from Buffett. Taking some time to note his frequent visits to the DelMarVa region, Jimmy acknowledged that he had played Jiffy Lube Live upwards of 30 times prior to that night. Jimmy and the Coral Reefers worked through their set with incredible energy and a tightly woven sound before reaching the show&#8217;s denouement in the final three songs, &#8220;Margaritaville,&#8221; &#8220;Why Don&#8217;t We Get Drunk,&#8221; and the aforementioned &#8220;Changes in Latitudes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-51073 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click\" alt=\"Jimmy Buffett brought out the ever faithful Parrotheads!\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\" title=\"Jimmy Buffett brought out the ever faithful Parrotheads!\" data-id=\"51073\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" data-tcb-events=\"__TCB_EVENT_[{&quot;t&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;a&quot;:&quot;thrive_zoom&quot;,&quot;c&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;51073&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}}]_TNEVE_BCT__\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-169x120.jpg 169w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-64x46.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-220x156.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-141x100.jpg 141w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-380x270.jpg 380w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-352x250.jpg 352w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-225x160.jpg 225w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-350x249.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-527x375.jpg 527w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-655x466.jpg 655w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/9O6A7256-788x560.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text thrv-inline-text\" data-css=\"tve-u-165109fa59c\">Jimmy Buffett brought out the ever faithful Parrotheads!<\/p>\n<p>Walking out of the show, and being careful not to step on any passed out Parrotheads on the lawn, I was able to appreciate the size of the crowd.

It was a care free night that managed to transport these DC area fans to the beach, even if only in their minds and flip flops.
