Squeeze, live at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA, circa 1979 (?), opened for Elvis Costello, and were so great that if he hadn't showed up it would have still been a wonderful concert! Other great ones (just as good, really) were: Randy Newman 1972/3 at Wake Forest U.; John Prine in Atlanta, GA, in 1973; Joan Baez in Eugene, OR, in 1975; Bruce Springsteen in Columbia, SC, Charleston, SC, and Atlanta, GA, all in 1977; Neil Young in Charlotte, NC, in 1979; Dexter Gordon and Laurie Anderson (on separate occasions) at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC, in the 1980s (?); and Christian McBride in Columbia, SC, in 2000.
