Keen tour dates.
Seeing Robert Earl live in concert is a near-(fill-in-the-blank) experience. Except for once in
Long Branch, NJ, I don't think I've ever seen a crowd not be totally into "the Show." I really
can't describe in words what make his shows so cool. Maybe it's his songs. Maybe it's his
stories. Maybe it's his full of characters, airtight band. Maybe it's
the crowds. Who knows? I'll try and give you a small taste here with some pictures and
with sound bites throughout this site. If you really want to know what it's like, GO TO A
SHOW! See the contact page for ways to get current tour
info.
Robert
and fiddle
player Bryan Duckworth at Gruene Hall, the oldest dancehall in Texas.
Here's a set list (or at least what made it from the
stage to the scanner) from Gruene Hall on Friday, October 20, 1995.
My sister took
this of Robert & me at the
Luckenbach Dancehall in Luckenbach, Texas, on 5/13/95. We're both smiling 'cuz we had
such a good time.
This is my ticket from the
"Listening Show" at the Executive Surf Club in Corpus Christi, TX on
7/15/95. Click on these Real Audiolinks chronologically to hear how
things went from show to show.
When Robert and band were there on 3/4/95, half the audience
was rowdy, half was reserved. Some folks complained, so the
manager had to make
sure it didn't happen again, hence the idea for the "listening" show. No one really
knew what it was supposed to be, including Robert. (click on
ticket)
The next time Robert and band were back on 10/20/95, everything was back to
normal.
This is a ticket from
BOCKTOBERFEST at the little Spoetzl brewery in Shiner, Texas on
10/21/95. No coolers allowed. Plenty of beer on hand.
