Just got back from a CMT Crossroads Taping with Jimmy Buffett and Zac Brown Band. Small venue, about 500 people there. Both bands on stage together. TV Tapings are always a little odd, but this one had a couple of really odd moments.
- No Hawaiian Shirts allowed. Really?
- We were to dress in warm colors, no brights. At the risk of repeating myself... Really?
- There was a bar in the lobby (serving Margaritaville margaritas, of course) but they told us we couldn't take cups in. So no drinking. We get packed into our sardine seats, and guess what? There's a bar in the back. Serving the same drinks in the exact same cups they were serving in the lobby.
Even Jimmy wasn't allowed to wear bright colors, apparently. He wore the long sleeved (Really?) "Life Is Good" shirt I've been looking for for Gary. Olive green. Jeans - no shoes.

I'm still jealous! How was the music?
Ditto Sean on the music. I'm not a Buffett fan but I do like the Zac Brown Band.
Can you tell us what songs were played? Thanks
Bare foot? I honestly have only seen Jimmy in shoes once- back in 1978 and he had on saddle shoes without socks!
By the way, the only Crossroads taping I've been to had no alcohol at all as far as I saw, so no whining ;-)
Music was good, although Jimmy was reading teleprompter for all Zac's songs and some of his, but honestly, it wasn't much of a "cross." He did a couple of new things, pushing the new album. Yes, he was barefoot...
They did Zac's songs first, then switched out some band members and did Jimmy's. Ended of course, with margaritaville
Oh - and I've since heard this was the first Crossroads they've ever let alcohol into!
have you checked ebay for LIG shirts? i've bought a couple there that they no longer sell at the store...
