How you knew that I have no idea! And what does your mind-reading ability have to do with this gawd-awful band & song?I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

I have seen three artists in this tournament live: Spirit (twice), the Breeders and the Verve. Four if you count hanging out and drinking on the hillside by the Mann Music Center in Philly while Little Feat was playing (that Dixie Chicken must have been 20 minutes long).
The Breeders and the Verve were on the same day -- Lollapalooza 1994 in Philly.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Some interesting notes about Spirit:
- They sued Led Zeppelin over the intro to “Stairway to Heaven” and that case was literally just decided earlier this year in Zep’s favor
- lead guitarist Randy California was given his name by Jimi Hendrix, because he backed up Hendrix in one of his early bands and there was another Randy who played with them
- lead singer Jay Ferguson was also a one hit wonder included in this tourney, with 1977’s “Thunder Island.”
- Randy California drowned in 1997 saving his son while surfing in the Pacific

When I saw them in the early '90s, it was around the time of Ed's 75th birthday and a birthday card for him was passed around the club, which I signed.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.
