Live by the Bay

Live by the Bay is a 1986 direct-to-video[1] concert film of American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band.

[5] A brief rain shower during the middle of the Friday night show prompted Buffett to retreat to his sailboat (docked by the stage) and caused a majority of the final video release to feature the Saturday night show.

After the rain cleared on Friday, the band played Little Feat's "Dixie Chicken" to demonstrate the equipment still functioned before Buffett returned to the stage.

The video introduction includes extended footage of "parrothead" fans on boats and in the water with "Gypsies in the Palace" playing in the background.

[7] Released on March 1, 1986,[1] the video of Live by the Bay was directed by Jack Cole, produced by Tammara Wells, while the audio was recorded and mixed by Elliot Scheiner.
