Live in Auburn is a live album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and is one of number of Jimmy Buffett sound board live albums recorded directly from the mixing console without further editing thus resembling bootleg recordings.
The album was recorded at White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington on 16 September 2003, on Buffett's Tiki Time Tour. It was released in November 2003 on two compact discs on Mailboat. It was produced by Michael Utley, a member of Buffett's Coral Reefer Band.
The album includes all of the songs in Buffett's "Big 8" songs that he nearly always performs in concert. Due to the location and timing of the concert, Buffett performed several related songs including: the only performance ever of "I Still Miss Someone", dedicated to Johnny Cash who died four days earlier; the first performance and only tour appearance of "The Wind Cries Mary", decicated to Jimi Hendrix who lived in Washington. Buffett also mentions that "In The Shelter" was written about a girl from Spokane.
Buffett mentions that "Burn That Bridge" is off of Riddles in the Sand, to which Michael Utley replies, "That's right!" Buffett has been known to do a terrific job of playing a variety of all kinds of songs from his catalog whether it be new, old, hits or obscure songs. However, he has been known to do a bad job at keeping track of which songs appear on which albums, which explains why Utley was impressed. Interestingly, the following song in the setlist, "Knees Of My Heart", is also on Riddles in the Sand. Also, "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" and "Tampico Trauma" both appear back-to-back in the setlist and also appear on Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, and "Volcano" and "Fins" both appear back-to-back in the setlist and are the first two tracks on Volcano (Jimmy Buffett album) (but in reversed order). These are assumed to be a coincidence, but still interesting nevertheless.
