Feeding Frenzy: Jimmy Buffett Live! is a live album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was initially released in October 1990 as MCA 10022. It is the second of Buffett's many live albums.

The album's material was culled from several concerts at Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta, Georgia and Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio in August 1990 and was remixed by Elliot Scheiner at The Hit Factory Studios in New York City.

Chart performance

Feeding Frenzy reached No. 68 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Songs

The album featured many of Buffett's concert favorites as well as two new songs that have not appeared on any other Buffett album: "In the City" penned by Coral Reefer Mac McAnally and Lord Burgess' calypso classic "Jamaica Farewell." "A Love Song (From a Different Point of View)" is the title given to "Why Don't We Get Drunk" and "Today's Message" is a spoken-word introduction to it. "Everlasting Moon" appears on the box set Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads.

Notably absent from the album, but played live, is "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes," the only one of "The Big 8" missing. Although no set list from the shows have circulated, other shows from the same tour conclude that much of the playlist order was changed.
