You Had to Be There: Recorded Live is a live double album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was initially released in October 1978 as ABC AK-1008/2 and later re-released on ABC's successor label MCA.


It is the first of Buffett's many live albums and his tenth album overall. The album's material was culled from several concerts at Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia and Maurice Gusman Cultural Center in Miami, Florida in August 1978 and was remixed by Elliot Scheiner at AIR Studios in London. You Had to Be There reached #72 on the Billboard 200 album chart and #29 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The album was also certified "Gold" by the RIAA. The album featured many of Buffett's concert favorites as well as three new songs that have not appeared on any other Buffett album: "Perrier Blues," "Morris' Nightmare," and the instrumental "Dixie Diner" (a cover originally by Larry Raspberry & the Highsteppers).

The album was heavily edited between shows, making the playlist out of order of the actual show. Songs known to have been played but deleted from the final cut are:

• Banana Republics


• Cheeseburger in Paradise


• Coast of Marseilles


• The Last Line


• Livingston Saturday Night


• Mañana

 
Jimmy's Note:
This album is dedicated to anyone in the United States and Canada who has paid
good money to see this show. Thanks for helping me live my life like a song. 

There's nothing to this show bidness gig. After twelve years and ten albums I 
enjoy remembering some of the moments in the history of Coral Reefer madness
that still make it fun: The morning in San Francisco when I found a chandelier
in Finger's bathroom sink and drug him out of bed to help me rehang the goddamn
thing; the night at Kiawah Island when Harry discovered the new religion of Naked
Hall Meditation; when Jay Spell introduced Martin Mull to braille centerfolds;
when Buttrey polished off a magnum of champagne during a Central Park concert
and finished the evening by attempting to drop-kick his snare drum into the monitor
board; the night Deborah and Fingers did their impression of Ike and Tina Turner
in a Holiday Inn near Billings, Montana; the time Barry decided to redecorate the
interior of a Chrysler Cordoba in Sacramento; the afternoon I decided to take
the bus for a spin near Wrightsville Beach to find some beer; or just
yesterday in London, when they gave all our suites to Gladys Knight and the Pips.
I could go on for hours telling stories but I guess you had to be there.
- Jimmy Buffett wasting away in London. August 30, 1978
Note: To all avid lyric fanatics: you may or may not notice that some verses
and phrases on there records are not the same as the original version. I can
only blame that mishap on an over-indulgence in Mount Gay rum and an
over-abuse of poetic license. Hope you enjoy the new versions. J.B.
