I am now going to attempt the almost impossible. I am going to reach back into my memory and try to remember every live show I've ever seen.
Some of these names are well known. Others you will have to trust me that they exist and that I've seen them perform.
The 1980's list is primarily from Rhode Island clubs and the outdoor arena Great Woods in Massachusetts. The 1990's is that list as well plus 6 years of NYC showgoing. I will keep coming back to this list and adding names. If you've been to a show with me that I've forgotten, please let me know.

OK THAT LIST IS....OUT OF CONTROL...I THINK THERE IS A BOOK HERE SOMEWHERE...obviously a well of history stored up inside you of INCREDIBLE muscial history...but but......but, I'm still trying to get over that Midnight Run is DeNiro's greatest movie...blogment....yeee.....yee...tickeled the keys a little too fast methinks...don't get me wrong I lllooveeed MR...i think it is Grodin's greeatest movie...but DeNIro???....i don't think ssoooo..
did you forget about a little indie flick, that not many people have heard of...got a little lost in the shuffle but some say...
that it might be the greatest american movie EVER?
ever....??? think about that...ever is a loooong time...
G. F. 2....??? huh? HUH?..... now you feel bad don't you little mr. blogger...one way convo...write till you drop...so nobody interupts....yeah, that's right...i got your number.....
Ah, grasshopper, if you look closely, you will see that I did not say it was DeNiro's greatest movie. I merely said it would be the one I would show if I had to show one.
King of Comedy, GF2, Raging Bull, holy shite.
But Midnight Run to me...he dominates and also completely cedes the spotlight to Grodin. A different actor might have been threatened by what Grodin was doing, thinking it schlocky or upstage-y. But DeNiro just went with it.
Awesome.
hey - doesn't sugar count as the 90s? also, you forgot siobhan o'malley
and the jungle dogs...
