I went to see DAC play in Odessa TX back around 83. He played and sang for 3 hours, and came back for another 2hr encore. It was one of the best concerts I ever saw. The best was George Thorogood at around the same time in Lubbock at a sleazy little dive. He was in town for booked concert, and played this club under a diferent name; it was a $2 cover, and lasted over 6 hours.
They just don't make em like that anymore (sigh)
no they don't.
Lonesome George played a local club when I was in college. He got snowed in the next day - the turnpike was closed. So, he had a free show that night at the same club. It was great, for those who were able to turn out. Of course, being an all-balls, no-brains college student, I was there. :-) 90 minutes on mostly unplowed roads to get there. Not my brightest moment, but it was a lot of fun.
He really appreciates his fanbase.
