Great White with Randy Baldwin at Jaxx Nightclub, Springfield, VA, USA
Review:
Great White had been on my list for a while, as they leaned more towards bluesy rock then their glam counterparts. Live in New York is one of my favorite albums of theirs, based just on their cover of Savoy Brown’s Train To Nowhere that has one of the greatest grooves ever. We stayed after the gig to meet the band.

Slash’s Snakepit at Hammerjacks, Baltimore, MD, USA
Review:
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 Petty and the Heartbreakers with The Jayhawks & Pete Droge at Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA, USA
Review:
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.

The Black Crowes at Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA, USA
Review:
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.

Jimmy Page & Robert Plant with Rusted Root at USAir Arena, Landover, MD, USA
Review:
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.

Sheryl Crow with Freedy Johnston at Warner Theatre, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
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”.
