Robert Cray August 24, 1990 Bogart's Cincinnati, Ohio (with the Memphis Horns)

Here you have premier Rhythm and Blues, spiced up some by the Memphis Horns. Posting this one some thirty-four years after the fact, in anticipation of seeing him again in early 2024. I had seen Robert Cray a couple years earlier in Chicago, which was more raw and loose than this rather slick, Cincinnati show. Both very good shows. All of the shows I recorded at Bogart's from my sweet spot in the balcony turned out great. This one is no exception.

One of the best shows I've EVER attended (I could probably say that about any of the Replacements shows I've seen). Anyway, the 'Mats were spot on that night and sounded great. Actually ran into them and played a couple games of pool with them at Dollar Bills prior to the show. Recorded this show from my sweet spot there at Bogart's and it sounds really good.
