State Theater, New Brunswick, NJ.... Before Tori's show (the second time I was seeing her live), my then-wife Christine and I were meeting my WHTG colleague Matt Pinfield, Atlantic Records' Tod Elmore, and a few others for dinner at a restaurant next to the State Theater. The hot topic at dinner was discussion about whether O.J. Simpson might be guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson, which had taken place the previous Sunday. Someone at the dinner table mentioned they had heard on the radio earlier that O.J. was missing.

It was the longest duration between scheduled date and actual date in my experience, with 1,021 days from ticket purchase to show date. Ringo stills brings the energy. He's 82 as of this show and running around onstage (even doing jumping jacks at one point!). Tons of fun, and Edgar Winter was a revelation. I had never seen him live before, and his contributions were terrific. It was interesting to see Hamish Stuart backing Ringo after seeing him in Paul McCartney's band in 1989 (see here and here ).    Setlist: Matchbox It Don't Come Easy What Goes On Free Ride (led by Edgar Winter) Rosanna (led by Steve Lukather) Pick Up the Pieces (led by Hamish Stuart) Down Under (led by Colin Hay) Boys I'm the Greatest Yellow Submarine Cut the Cake (led by Hamish Stuart) Frankenstein (led by Edgar Winter) Octopus's Garden Back Off ...
