It offers the Jimmy Buffet fan a beguiling retrospective that captures the years 1973-1999, though Buffet himself admits that many of these videos were made to "try and get on MTV." The selection of music here is excellent and is presented chronologically by Buffet himself, beginning with footage from Key West, Florida, Buffet's headquarters. Perhaps the most entertaining aspect of the video, however, is the footage in between the music. Buffet's comments are, of course, priceless, but the scenes of Parrotheads tailgating before shows and generally living the life add an immeasurable amount of personality and provide some insight into the cultural phenomenon that has developed since those early days in Key West.
