A bunch at Billy Bob’s in the late 80s/early 90s. (Jerry Lee Lewis, Collin Raye, Lorrie Morgan, etc.)
Long list. My list is longer than I sometimes remember. I don't see Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, The Steve Morse Band or Cornell Dupree (with Blue Lou Marini on sax). You were there, weren't you?
Sounds vaguely familiar Steve. I’m pretty sure I was there for Cornell Dupree/Lou Marini and maybe Bela Fleck, but I don’t remember Steve Morse Band. I’d love to see Steve Morse, but I just don’t remember it. If you’re right, help me remember so I can add them to the list.
I was there for the steve vai, joe satriani concert. G3!
Yes – That was awesome!!!
I'm sure there are quite a few more that should be on my list but these are the ones I can remember. I also debated about who to include?? There are some minor celebs that didn't make the list and also some opening acts that I couldn't remember, etc.
You forget 121. Otherwise known as Ryan and Brion.
Brion – 121 was great. Wish they hadn’t broken up.
Steve Morse and Bela Fleck were at the Caravan. Cornell Dupree was outdoor at Sundance Square. And Contact was at Main and Exchange. The keyboard player borrowed your Ibanez Roadstar. Thanks 😀
OK Dowdy – I remember now. It’s been a long time man and I guess I’m getting old enough that my memory is starting to go too. I’ll add them to the list.
