TNN’s Nashville Now 1984
According to BuffettWorld.com it was April 1 1984 when Jimmy Buffett guest-hosted Nashville Now, on cable’s TNN channel.
A note on the recording. I discovered the show by accident while flipping through the channels. I belated recognized the host as that guy Mike liked and started recording. Later on, Mike duped my VHS tape to Betamax; and further on I decided I wanted a copy of it after all and duped it back, to VHS. Thus, this video copy is at least three generations down.

Royal Oak Metropolitan Musicafé
We’d read in the newspaper that Jimmy Buffett would be making an appearance at the Metropolitcan Music Café, in Royal Oak, to put his hand or foot prints in their Walk of Fame. The printed announcement had been so tiny we hoped it might have gone by unnoticed and we’d get our chance to meet and get close to our hero.
I borrowed my brother’s fancy new RCA camcorder—the old kind you have to wear on your shoulder—to document the event. But what I documented was our big long four hour wait for nothing.
Nevertheless, check out how thin we were, check out our giant glasses, and check out the snazzy and almost-responsive macrofocus that fascinated me so much…

TV Ad
Here’s the TV ad for Jimmy Buffett’s second appearance at The Palace of Auburn Hills (his first appearance being the one discussed in the previous entry). The ending is truncated, but I believe what the announcer was going to say was “Great Scott stores”—a supermarket chain that has since gone out of business.

CNN Newsnight
I’m just guessing at the date here, but this is an interview segment aired on CNN, from the Feeding Frenzy era. There’s a heavy edit in the middle of it, where you can hear Jimmy about to say something; but that’s the way it is on my tape.

Club Trini Live!
Club Trini performed before many shows during the Beach House on the Moon tour. At Clarkston, they performed in the parking lot, enabling me to videotape them.
The editing might be abrupt but this is pretty much everything I shot.

Club Trini Live! Again
Not as polished as my 1999 video, especially since I realized too late I was running out of battery power — which explains the choppiness at the end of the video. Nevertheless, lots of tailgating and lots of Club Trini…
