re: Spearhead: amen! [i've played the Showbox (well, the side room, anyway) and yeah, those size venues are really the only places worth a damn for me.]

or go see Hiatt for @ $35-40 a ticket in a medium to smaller place; well worth it. both quality acts that leave you feeling uplifted. hiatt'll come out after shows to meet'n'greet, too.

af for the Eagles, they can write 'em, it's true, but i prefer the playing (and sense of humor) of Joe Walsh. anyone know his tune County Fair? great one.
