I’m on a huge Alejandro Escovedo kick. I’ve not only been enjoying the recent, but also dusting off my copies of A Man Under the Influence, Bourbonitis Blues, and More Miles Than Money: Live 1994-96. Those are all worthy additions to any record collection. Today I wanted to share one of my favorite live shows in my collection. It’s Alejandro Escovedo performing at the Club Tavern in Middleton, WI. While the Club Tavern is just about spitting distance from my house, it’s not known as a regular destination for live music in and around Madison, thought they do get their gems, and usually get them before anyone else will take the chance.

Just saw Alejandro on Monday…first time in a couple years. A simply amazing show! Encore alone: Zevon’s “She’s Too Good For Me”, “Swallows of San Juan”, “All the Young Dudes”, “I’m Waiting for the Man”, and a sing-a-long “Beast of Burden”! Thanks for posting this one!

Man, to think that I could have seen him at the Club Tavern in 1998 makes me regret all of the missed opportunities in my freshman year of college even more – I was probably drunk at some basement party. Thanks for putting this up.

I saw him on Monday too and had to leave early–glad to know what I missed. Thanks for posting these tracks.

Great find! I was at that show and it was a magical night indeed. Saw many great alt.country shows for a couple of years there: Whiskeytown, Mike Ireland, Robbie Fulks, Dale Watson.
