I remember what RMike said at the Alejandro Escovedo show I encouraged him to attend with me: “You tricked me by making me see him live first.” Being introduced to the music of an artist initially through the live experience can have a profound affect. I’m hoping there are others who will have this type of experience on the 15th.
