Best one for me was Eric Johnson when he was promoting Ah Via Musicom. Saw him at a small club in San Diego, not more than 75 people there and 10 bucks a ticket. It was a very informal show, he sat down and played and talked about the upcoming album and his gear for a couple of hours.

Saw Van Halen on their first tour for their first LP here in Tulsa at the Cain's Ballroom.No more than 250 people. Small venue. Man did they level that place. Eddie just blew us away. The whole band was on that night. 8) Mike

saw reverend horton heat a few times in a small club, that band is awesome. jimbo the bassist plays an upright, and one night he laid it on its side while playing, and horton goes and stands on top of the bass! and proceeds to blast out some psychobilly mayhem! haha insane

another night i was there, this drunk dude was flailing beer around in the mosh pit, and horton stops the band dead mid-song so he could curse out the dude for it. "f**k you man, you're wasting good beer!" haha

horton is the man regardless

Marty Robbins, Mother's Day 1975, Dixon May Fair, Dixon CA.

I took my Mom to see her favorite singer. The crowd was only about 15 people. It was fabulous and Marty put on a helluva show!!!!

Of course the best part was the hug from my Mom for taking her.

The David Crowder Band. They put on a great live show, he even had a guitar hero guitar wired up to play a 1-4-5 chord progression and played it for a song. It was a whole lot of fun!!!!

Hmm: I seem to give a different answer every time this one comes up...

This time I'll go with Mark Knopfler at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club around seven or eight years ago. At Ronnie's the form is that the support plays for an hour, then the main act for an hour, then the support for another hour and the main act for a last hour. Then it's three in the morning and everyone goes home.

That night, the support (the Dave O'Higgins Band) played their hour, then Knopfler (with the Notting Hillbillies) came on and played. And played. And played. Three and a half hours later he finished and apologised to Dave O'Higgins, who then played his second set to an emptying house way into the small hours.

My understanding was Knopfler didn't do this every night of his week long residency: he was just up for it that night. And to my ears he was cooking on gas. I was sitting about 12 feet away, perfect view, perfect sound - almost all of which came off the back line in that small club. Mark played exclusively two Strats through a Fender amp of a BlackFace type.

What an evening! One of which to boast: "I was there"...

Cheers - C
