“Attended Glenn’s show at Seattle’s very popular Crocodile Cafe owned and managed by Peter (REM) Buck’s wife. I’d say about 150 people showed up in its cruddy chairless showroom. After an hour of Jon Auer of the local band the Posies, Glenn finally hobbled on stage at 10:30 on crutches. “Well, I guess he won’t be leading anyone out to the street tonight”, I thought. He said he hurt his ankle “falling down in Eugene” and made a joke that he should display them on stage as if the crutch makers are his corporate sponsor. He also apologized for keeping us waiting, but his old 1985(?) motorhome broke down on the way up from Portland, and proceeded to joke about how he liked touring in a motorhome because he enjoyed cooking.

I believe this was only the third time he has been to Seattle, and am not holding my breath for another appearance with the poor turnout and our remote location. I had only seen him once, with Squeeze in ’93, and there was no indication then of his engaging stage presence and clever wit. Just a great solo performer; funny, interactive, excellent guitarist and singer, and great songs. Probably the most entertaing solo performance I’ve ever seen. It’s remarkable how he strains to produce that superb voice. Also
remarkable is the abundance of chords he uses in each song. He’s all ove the neck, and only saw him falter on one chord change. Just for Seattle, he did an excellent version of Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile.
Thanks Glenn, please come back.”
