I was moved by everyones recollections, so I thought
I'd add mine...
1998, my roommate/best friend was a long-time Tom fan
and had never seen him live. His birthday is in March
and I scored two tickets to the Dead Man Walking
benefit concert in Los Angeles (where Tom was playing)
as a surprise gift. I was a fan too, but not very
serious. The show absolutely blew me away. Black
Mariah, Goin out West, Jesus gonna be here...WOW!
From that experience, I was hooked. Since then, I've
acquired all of his work (finally picked up The Black
Rider in the lobby at the Carre!).
So, I have to say it was the man himself, live, that
made me a fan. Seeing him again on the Mule Variations
tour just made it stronger. Last month, people looked
at me like I was crazy when I said that I was flying
from San Diego to Amsterdam to see Tom on Friday and
Saturday. It was magnificent! I'll remember it for the
rest of my life. I only hope the rumors of a US tour
in March are true...
