Concerts 1989-1994
1994-07-22 Bonnie Raitt / Bruce Hornsby
Garden State Arts Center
Two of my favorite contemporary musicians joined forces for this tour and performed with their own bands and also together, as they did at the Grammy awards.
1994-07-31 Traffic
Saratoga Performing Arts Center
One of my favorite classic rock bands, Traffic reunited and opened for the Dead during 1994, and then played a number of US shows at excellent venues on their own as part of their reunion tour supporting their outstanding album "Far From Home." Two week later they would play a smoking hot set at the Woodstock ‘94 show, and a great video of that is available.
I had good orchestra seats at SPAC for this.
In later years the image of Capaldi singing "Light Up or Leave Me Alone" would pop into my head when I heard the original, or the Phish rendition. I remember thinking that Winwood still looked so young in 1994 when I saw him at this performance, which was only the first time I saw him perform after waiting a long while.
