March 23, 2000 Finally, some "new" concert photos:  CT's 1980 tour 
 
March 15, 2000 Macon, GA concert -- was lucky enough to get to "play" Rick's 5-neck during Surrender.  Some bimbo tried to steal Robin's microphone and jumped up on stage at the end -- that was very weird. Highlight:  Robin's steamy rendition of Ghost Town.  Added another of Rick's set lists to my collection. :) 
 
March 14, 2000 Athens, GA concert -- nice to see several fellow TF3ers (Rusty, John, Alex, Paul, Michelle). The audience was hyper and some good exposure for CT, but I was stuck next to some obnoxious college kids.  CT blew me away when they opened with Just Got Back -- probably my all-time favorite CT song. Hope they continue to include songs from All Shook Up in their set.  Came away with Rick's set list. :)
 
March 11, 2000 Melissa and I had an amazing time at the Gadsden show!  Saw Rusty, Kim Gisborne and friends, and another couple from TrickFest 3.  Set list was the same as last year -- the most amazing, powerful rendition of Need Your Love I've seen, and I've seen it many times.  The band was fantastic, as expected.  Bun E. was grinning from ear to ear the entire time, Rick was jumping around like crazy and Robin was phenomenal! :)  Loved Tom's "Alabama" costume -- thank you Tom for handing me the purple & black Go To Hell pick!  Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed, so no new pictures to add to the site...
 
February 20, 2000 A very happy birthday wish to Jon Brant!

December 31, 1999 CT once again blows away all other acts, this time at the Disney/MGM Millennium show.  I saw several familiar faces in the audience. :)

Rick announces during the show that there will be 3 new releases in 2000 (perhaps reissues of DP, ASU and LOL, as promised at TF3?  Or what about the rumor of a remix of In Color?)  He also promised NEW MATERIAL!!!
