JHS was irreplaceable, and Robbie did a pretty admirable job carving out his own place in that band.Michael Atchisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149731312548258515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34024688.post-1159480786373750812006-09-28T16:59:00.000-05:002006-09-28T16:59:00.000-05:00Mrs. Shuggie is a big Sheryl Crow fan so I took he...Mrs. Shuggie is a big Sheryl Crow fan so I took here to the show at the Tweeter Center a few weeks ago. Mayer was on the bill.<BR/><BR/>Aside from the shrieking female fans, it wasn't entirely unpleasant. He did a nice extended blues jam, in the middle of which he quoted the old Otis song "I've Got Dreams To Remember."<BR/><BR/>Half way through the show, he introduced his band. There was an older, portly balding chap playing some very nice guitar fills. I didn't recognize him until Mayer did the introduction. "On guitar, Robbie MacIntosh!" I turned to Mrs. Shuggie and said, "Did he say Robbie MacIntosh?" She said "yes." I remember Robbie MacIntosh as a curly haired, slight young gunslinger who took over in the Pretenders when Jimmy Scott checked out. Time has not been kind to Robbie.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, Mayer closed with a solo verison of Message in a Bottle.Shuggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809800130830746578noreply@blogger.com
