I've never seen them, but my advice is, go see them if you've never seen them before. Though, that's my advice to anyone debating going to see a band they've never seen before.

One thing to consider is how D&B had something special going on to get musicians like Clapton, Harrison, and studio players like Keltner, Gordon, Bobby Keys and Jim Price on horns, etc to join their touring band.

Is Dando ok? I always panic a little when I hear him now. Saw the Lemonheads with Juliana a few months back and it's not pretty. Sad really.

Thanks Clarke, I have to dive into his radio work too, I haven't heard that part of his career. But his resume is amazing all around. Another favorite was his role as Turk in the noir "The Racket"

That guy truly had it all in my opinion. Should have been a superstar like Glen Campbell or something. For his generation. Poster boy for don't do the drugs.

Lol. If Porcaro were still alive, I'd go. Or if Rolie and/or Perry were still with Journey.

ha, now that I think about it, the first "drums" I recorded with was a banjo with a paper towel wrapped around the strings, striking it with a racquetball that was impaled on a piece of coat hanger. I believe I was a recent college graduate at the time.

Evan Dando was the first person named Evan (other than myself) I ever met. My band opened for Lemonheads in Bloomington, IN back in 1991. Nice guy.

Take drugs. Have fun. Don’t turn drug’s into your lifestyle.
