The opportunity to see Slash in a club was irrestible (he’d soon leave Guns N’ Roses). Surprisingly no GN’R songs, but Gilby Clarke was in the band and sang his songs “Cure Me… Or Kill Me…” and “Tijuana Jail” – appropriate because Slash played on those songs on his album.
Tom was touring off Wildflowers (one of my favorite albums of his) and put on a great show, I really like Pete Droge and enjoyed seeing him again, but none of that was my highlight. I knew I liked The Jayhawks, but this show made me love them. The tight harmonies, and the songs (especially “Blue”) just hit me in the gut.

Eric & Todd acoustic show. The flyer said “Only $1.00 Cover!”

Eric and I were big fans of the Crowes’ first album, and the next two were just fine too. They were already turning into a jam band, playing some of the hots as they felt like it.

I know I went to this for Triggerfish, part of the Fairfax family of bands.

The second night included 3 Led Zeppelin classics we hadn’t got the first night. No notes.
After seeing two nights of Pink Floyd, I had no trouble signing up for two nights for the voice and guitar of Led Zeppelin. After their successful MTV reunion, they took it on the road, and it was everything a Led Zep fan like me wanted. Extra bonus for including a Coverdale\Page song and a solo Plant song.

I never stopped loving Sheryl Crow, but this was the first show in which the crowd really grew. This was the first time I saw her after she did MTV Unplugged, and she was doing a very different version of “All I Wanna Do”.

I wish I could remember these Excentrics shows more. But it was usually after work with a pitcher of beer, so…

We went back to see the Eagles, and decided to scalp. Waiting until they started meant getting in for half price, “Hotel California” be damned.
