I guess not. Well, I went and here's what I saw:

There were two openers. The first was Connie Rae and the Ricky Lewis Band. It was great to hear a really good opening band at the Coach House for a change. Connie had a great voice and the band was really a band – meaning, they really new how to play together and weren’t all trying to be individualists. That really stuck out for me. Each of the band members were really solid musicians and it showed.

A second opening act was a solo act. One guy on stage with an acoustic guitar. I didn’t catch his name and his music wasn’t my cup of tea. To me all of the songs were the same and it didn’t do anything for me. With that said, the guy wasn’t a hack or anything. He could play and I think it takes a couple of big ones to get up on stage as an opener by yourself and do what you do. I gotta give him a lot of credit for that.

Robben took the stage at about 9:30.

The Band: RF, Guitar; Volker Strifler, Guitar; Dwayne Pate, Bass; Hilary Jones, Drums

Chevrolet – Tele
Up the Line – Baker
Indianola – Baker
The Way That You Treated Me – Baker
Homework – Tele
Cannonball Shuffle – Baker
Over My Head – Baker
Tired of Talkin’
Help the Poor – Baker
It Don’t Make Sense – Tele
Lovin’ Cup – Tele
(encore) Keep On Running – Baker

What can I say that hasn’t been said in the past? It was a great show to kick off the tour. There was a small crowd, which was disappointing. I saw a few young fans ranging in age from 8 to 12 years old or so. Volker had technical problems through the first three songs but once Daved got things fixed we got to hear him. What a tasty player he is – a real compliment to the band. As is almost always the case, everyone looked relaxed and like they were enjoying themselves. Dwayne smoked, it was great to hear Hilary again (I really like her style), and Robben….well, Robben is Robben. Terrific sound, his voice sounded really, really good, great playing – he’s just one of the best there is.

Cox Communications was taping the show but Daved wasn’t sure what it was going to be used for. He said when he finds out he’d let us know.

Daved, it was good to see you and thanks for the stories about how much fun you have traveling. I envy what you’re able to do.

Thanx, Jim. Glad you had a good time.

Dal says the COX recording is supposedly being put together as a half hour show to be aired around southern Cal.
