  In early 1985, when Jimmy Buffett performed "Live by the Bay," he was enjoying the success of his album "Last Mango in Paris," which was released in 1985. This album, characterized by its blend of country, rock, and Caribbean influences, marked a pivotal moment in Buffett's career as he solidified his status as a leading figure in the "gulf and western" genre. Notably, "Last Mango in Paris" includes the popular song "The Last Mango in Paris," which reflects Buffett's storytelling style and connection to tropical themes. During this period, Buffett also began to expand his brand beyond music, incorporating elements of lifestyle into his persona, which later led to the establishment of his Margaritaville empire. This live recording not only showcases his musical prowess but also captures the essence of his early 1980s performances, a time when his unique sound and laid-back lifestyle began to resonate widely with audiences.
