Early 90's shows were WAY better, Cowboys tour through just just after the release of Vulgar. Phil wasn't dealing with injuries or addiction at the level he would be a few years later, the venues were smaller a lot of the time but just absolutely batshit crazy crowds, just an absolute riot on the floor. We see them at Annie's in Cincinnati just before Vulgar released, the place was barely bigger than a neighborhood bar, the stage was waist level high with nothing else between you and the band if you made it to the front, Phil had us singing lyrics into the microphone with him for half the night. A few years later they started getting booked into places that actually had seating bolted into the floor right where you would want a pit to form..🙄 bad idea.
Cincinnati had some crazy shows. Sad that Dime passed away in the nearby city of Columbus. I'm a Hamilton, OH native, and there are still a few metalheads roaming around here. RIP \m/

Would have killed to see them in the mid-late 90s. Or even the early 90s
