I went to see Link at the Pine
Street Theater in Portland Oregon last night.
Holy Guacamole....The man is
timeless....he was in his usual groove and was unusually user friendly....gave
two of his guitars to the crowd to play during his sets....talked on and off
with the crowd...it was one of those nights to be remembered.
The Pine Street Theater is a small
venue in a sort of run down area of Portland. Link commented that he
really liked venues like the Pine Street Theater. He said that's his bread
and butter...and that he likes the crowd...very intimate as well as
raucous. He and his wife signed autographs afterward.
I told Link to check in on his
newsgroup to see if we were behaving ourselves properly....he seemed genuinely
heartened when I told him of the group and I told him that he should stop by
when he surfs the Net (and he does, although he is new to it) and post some
thoughts and stop by and chat with his fans.
