A number of the acts on the bill worked with Buffett themselves, including McCartney and the Eagles.
Buffett and his Coral Reefer band opened for the Eagles in 1975, an inspiring moment for the future “Margaritaville” singer.
“I was introduced to the band in the dressing room of the [Los Angeles] Coliseum,” Buffett said when he inducted the Eagles into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. “I don’t remember how I got on the bill, but I was just excited to be there. It didn’t matter that nobody had paid to see us or that they misspelled my name on the marquee.”
“I sat there with all the members of the Coral Reefer Band in awe,” Buffett continued. “And when it was over, we strolled back through the empty arena towards our dressing room, and I said…’That is the kind of band we want to become.'”
