My girlfriend got us tickets to see The Reverend Horton Heat! I got to shake his hand and everything, plus my girlfriend got an autograph from their bassist. He's one cool dude too. I saw they were playing at a club a few miles from me and casually mentioned it to her thinking it would be cool to go but couldn't afford it so I just dismissed the idea. Then bam! she surprises me with the tickets a few days before the show. It really was a great time.
Did they play Big Red Rocket of Love.....i love that song, that is cool as hell. I got to see them at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha before they tore the place down and made it a walmart parking lot
Yeah they did play Big Red Rocket of Love. It was a good set for sure, they threw some Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard in there. That's cool you got to see 'em too, their bassist is really cool he was signing the dash on some guys shoe box Ford after the show. I knew I should've brought my truck!
Yah the Rev is awesome! Got to meet JIMBO!? He's getting up there and age and still puts on a hell of a show that will compete with anybody half his age
Holy Cow! I haven't thought about tRHH in close to two decades. I was doing college radio at WDCV in Carlisle PA and one of my favorites to play from heavy rotation on a Friday night was Liquor, Beer & Wine. Man, I have to go dig that out of my garage.
Also a fan of tRHH, seen him a few times in a few different states (Ca & Co).
Love crowdwatching at those shows almost as much as the tunes themselves.!
Good on your gal for the surprise.!
