Parrotheads have asked for it for years - a full length Jimmy Buffett concert on DVD, and now they'll be able to get it.

On August 1, 2006, Jimmy's celebrated performances at Chicago's Wrigley Field on Labor Day Weekend, 2005, will be released on Mailboat Records as a full-length show on two DVDs.  The sold-out concerts made history in the Windy City as Buffett's performances were the first at the 92 year-old ballpark. 

Released in Dolby 5:1 Surround Sound and presented in 16:9 Widescreen format, the double disc set (with twelve page booklet) is approx. 2 hours, 45 minutes long and contains 26 favorite Jimmy Buffett songs, plus bonus footage and some cool surprises, like the show's encore of Jimmy and Mac McAnally singing "City Of New Orleans" from the bleachers. 

The DVD set will also come loaded with special features including:

Jimmy and the band performing Bruce Springsteen's hit, "Glory Days"
Ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro's riveting version of the National Anthem
Jimmy out and about around the city of Chicago
Footage of the extensive stage being built
Tropically-outfitted Wrigley Parrotheads in their finest attire
Exclusive backstage/behind the scenes footage 

Jimmy Buffett – Live at Wrigley Field is now available for pre-order at Amazon. As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD database for more information.
