Last night I saw 'The Knitters' (a.k.a. John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Dave Alvin and DJ Bonebrake) at The Palms in Winters, California. A small farming town that was once the home of R. Crumb.
Anyhoo, the venue was intimate, we sat in the second row. It was a small crowd, though the show was sold out. The band seemed to really connect with the crowd and the energy was palatable.
I met some long-time friends of Brad's, and really really enjoyed the evening with them. New friends, great music, traveling with Brad, and time off work.... all my favorite things.
The band played some X songs, a Dave Alvin song, and of course Knitters songs, as well as many other old favorites. I've never seen X or The Blasters, so this was a pretty exciting show for me.
The video clip on this blog is one of my very favorite X songs called, "Burning House of Love." Wow.
