Concert Memories: Steve Miller Band, Nashville, TN 7/15/1993

Me and my old buddy Charlie drove down to Nashville in July of 1993 to catch the Steve Miller Band.

I think this was simply a standard, pleasant concert road trip.  Of course, in the days before GPS and mapquest, we used an actual physical map, and I know we ended up stopping at a visitor center for help with directions.  A very nice lady drew out a little map to get us to Starwood Amphitheatre.

Paul Rodgers was supposed to open, but, instead, Highway 101 ended up being the opening act.  I do recall some fans being a bit upset about this one....  which I understood.  Steve Miller/Paul Rodgers is a heck of a rock concert.  Steve Miller/Highway 101 is a rock legend.... and a country band.  I remember one guy who had probably already had a few beers VERY VOCALLY letting Highway 101 know that he did not appreciate them.

Steve Miller sounded great, and they did all of their hits.  It was a good show.

The traffic getting out of Starwood was rough.  IT was pretty bad most of the time, but for some reason, getting out of the parking lot this night was just terrible.
