| I saw Verve play at Slim's which is about a 450 capacity venue. I had only heard a few songs from them & did not own one album, but went to the show with a friend on his advice. They came on stage amidst an overpowered fog machine & the smell of cigarettes among other substances wafting from behind the stage as came out. I wasn't too familiar with their music at the time, but when they performed "Slide Away," I was instantly hooked. Mr. Ashcroft carried a pitcher with the largest screwdriver I've ever seen and drank it straight from the pitcher between singing. It seemed the more he drank, the better they got. This show was on a Thanksgiving weekend & was one of the best shows I have ever seen in my short lifetime. |
