    A few sublime shows

    Tom Waits in Minneapolis in 1999 is and likely will remain my favorite show of all time. Great songs, great rapport with the audience, and four curtain calls.

    Other favorites have been:

    * Gillian Welch's outdoor twilight show at Pittsburgh's Point State Park

    * Eleni Mandell at the beautiful Club Cafe

    * BB King at the Byham Theater, in a big blue sequined jacket that sparkled like a disco ball when the spotlight hit him

    * Cake, also outdoors at the Point, a raucous show where they incited the crowd in the free lawn area to invade and overwhelm the $5 seats near the stage

    Good times, good times...
