Wow, that was a serious nostalgia trip. The guys were in great form- boggling form. They played Cracker stuff for a good 1.5 hours, then left the stage and then came back and did another 2 hours of Camper Van Beethoven.
Terrific show. They were having fun.
Did you know Camper Van Beethoven turned 21 today? Me neither.
And they've recorded a new album. It's titled 'New Roman Times' and it should be released in September.
Woohoo!

Camper is old enough to drink? I feel aged.
Did they play 'Eurotrash Girl' in the Cracker set? I've always had a soft spot for that one, for obvious reasons.
I saw a really good show over ten years ago, back on the East Coast, which was Cracker, Gin Blossoms, and Spin Doctors, all on tour together. (In that order of billing, I *think*.) Gin played well but very much as if they were feeling the weight of the long tour (and other pressures), but the other two were energetic as heck. Fun show.
They did indeed play Eurotrash Girl. They played... damn. Just about any Camper Van song you'd HOPE they would play, really. I was amazed at the sheer breadth of how much they played. They didn't really stop between songs, either: they were up there on that stage for 2 hours doing song-- onebreath-- song-- one breath-- song.
For 30 minute stretches.
Frigging amazing.
