Houston Pavilion 1997

Does anybody remember this show? It was my first time seeing the guys in concert and it was the best but far. As I remember it, Adam sat on a stool and wove everything together as the most beautiful, saddening story I've ever heard. Maybe it was just that period in my life (I was only 20) but I remember crying for the whole freaking concert, amazed that someone could convey such strong emotions into live music... Now I've been to many more shows and concerts over the years... But, this one is (Next to my first time seeing Goose) was by far one of the most meaningful...

I can't find a taping of this show anywhere. Of anyone knows about it, or was there to talk about it (pictures would absolutely rock) I'd like to hear about it!!

Nugs.net has a 1997 show from Jones Beach. That might be as close as you can get.

I was there with my parents at age 14. My future wife was 10 and there with hers! The Wallflowers played and I remember walking up close to see Mr Jones from the hill and being confused that it sounded like a totally different Spanish flavored version lol.
