Fifteen Years Ago Today

Owoooooooo.....

This is a bootleg video, so I'm including it more for historical purposes than appreciation of its quality, but this is the fat man performing Zevon's "Werewolves of London" at the Oakland Coliseum on Halloween 1992.

The show is relevant because it was one of his "I'm not dead!" shows. Garcia slumped into a diabetic coma after summer tour that year and this was a little comeback show for him before he headed out with the boys for some December shows in the Western US.

Vince Welnick's band actually opened this night.

I'm out teaching today so no posts in the afternoon.

Don't eat too many Butterfingers.
