anything past 7/23/90 was really bad- and I saw a lot of them. brent > vince and Brent > Vince with bruce hornsby


The vast majority of my touring career was before 7/23/90 so I get why anyone who saw them afterwards may not have been impressed. I saw a few shows with Hornsby that were pretty good in 91-92 (RFK;Hampton, Cap Center), afterwards I stopped going (time to grow up). The next time i saw them was Spring Tour of '95 in Memphis and Birmingham and they were not good at all, with possibly the exception of the second night in the 'Ham.

They should have hung it up for awhile after Mydland died, taken a break from touring and let the madness that followed them die down

the fat man would probably still be with us too...

your touring sounds about like mine. many until 90- decent amount in 1991, but I mostly stayed away after that- also due to growing up. 95 bham was my swansong, and I am keeping it like that- I am not dealing with Chi-town.

I appreciate what Brent tried to do I just don't think it was a very good fit. He was too strong with the vocals and his songs, while presenting a clear message, seemed kind of cheesy.
