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

Eagles at USAir Arena, Landover, MD, USA
Review:
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.

Extreme with Flesh at Hammerjacks, Baltimore, MD, USA
Review:
Flesh was the younger brothers of Nuno and Gary from Extreme, so this show was all family. If there is such a thing as my least favorite Extreme album, Waiting For The Punchline would be it. As with lots of other bands at the time, they tried to change their style to meet the market (still some great songs, and “Hip Today” is a savage take on the situation). Still, the show was an excellent summary of their career thus far.

Road Ducks with Ambush at Jaxx Nightclub, Springfield, VA, USA
Review:
Jay Nedry, owner of Jaxx, had his own band, the Road Ducks. They were fine, but it was clear why he was an owner and not a musician for money.

Seed with The Gravel Pit & Letters to Cleo at 9:30 Club, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
We got free tickets, which was exciting as I really liked Letters to Cleo. As a matter of fact, I had noticed singer Kay Hanley’s name in the credits for Mary Karlzen’s album, so I brought that and Letters to Cleo’s album for her to sign, and she was really excited to see Mary Karlzen’s album. Seed was good too.

Gilby Clarke at The Bayou, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
The ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist had come out with Pawnshop Guitars, an excellent solo album we’d been playing a lot (having Slash and Axl on it didn’t hurt). A show with those songs plus some tasty covers (including Guns N’ Roses) made for a sweet show.
