Boots O'Riley

I’d like to highlight 12/01/2000 today as it now turns a quarter century old!

The first time I heard this show, it had been 7 1/2 years since the show had been played. And I remember thinking at the time that it felt so ancient and so far away from 2008 and now, a quarter century has passed. Wow!

And I can *clearly* remember the night that I was recommended this show. I was on Phantasy Tour, and I’m pretty sure the subject was excellent versions of Crickets. This righteous bro named Fake_Chasnoff recommended that I check out this version.

I can also remember finding the audience recording, which was not very good at the time before it had gotten a remaster, and I can vividly remember hearing the Segway from Floodlights into crickets and then going on to listen to the Crickets jam for the first time and being very impressed. It was the first few Sammy shows that I genuinely enjoyed.

If anybody reading this remembers Fake_Chasnoff on the black board, link him to this post. I’m sure that he’d find it at least a bit amusing that someone remembers an interaction with him from 19 years ago.
