20 April ... Cleveland, OH ... Tickler's Lounge
Lonesome Dave's Foghat makes a stop at Ticklers Lounge in Parma, Ohio which is
by far the smallest venue I have ever seen them play in, but whats lost in
arenas is found in smaller halls- great acoustics. they rocked thru all their
hits and threw in some newer tunes as well, I remember an Eye For An Eye which
was done with Dave on acoustic guitar, I remember Lethal Combination too.
Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed was also performed and an early version of
Jump That Train. I really enjoyed how they turned the theme to Peter Gunn into
a blow the roof off rocker (I hope this site may be able to track down a copy
someday, its really worth hearing). Fans had been screaming for Slow Ride from
about the 2nd song in which Dave replied were not that far along yet,
patience. Eddie Zyne really had a nice nite on the drums, keeping everybody in
time. The encore was IJWMLTY which included excerpts from the song Who Do Ya
Love before the 2nd end solo out. Slow Ride ended the show. The odd thing is
there was really no backstage for them to go and towel off for a bit so the
band just sat there drying off as Dave miked up "just give us a few minutes
and we'll be back at it." I think it was bit uncomfortable for them to be seen
freshening up when they are used to being behind the curtain. All in all a
great night out and they also made time to sign a few autographs and shake a
few hands near their tour bus.
