Show Reviews
This was a great show!, as all Avila shows have been. Thanks to Tom & Jan for getting me a space up front to tape from. What an awesome feeling to walk in and see my florescent green blanket 8th row center! John Trudell, who I didn't tape, opened the show and Jackson played next, followed by Bonnie Raitt and then Don Henley's set closed. Musically it was very tight. Bonnie made some jokes about Jackson's slide playing which was kind of funny. The venue is beautiful. It's at the golf course, right at the edge of the bay. Jackson, who makes a comment about all the people on the beach who are listening to the show but didn't pay to get in, tells everyone to to be sure and vote for Walter. This was a Benefit for Walter Capps for Congress. Walter won his congressional seat but died mid-way through his term on a plane back to Washington. His wife, Lois, ran for his seat and still holds it today. It's funny that no one has ever requested the Bonnie Raitt or Don Henley portions of this show. I copied the Jackson set a couple of times for people, including a guy in Italy. The rest of the show is really good folks.
