I saw Dwight Yoakam last Friday in Mesquite. Very pleasantly surprised. Eddie Perez (the nominee) was outstanding, absolutely dominating without stepping on Dwight's vocals or acoustic play. I have never heard a better telecaster (or was it a Tomkins?). They played two hours stopping for about a minute once to let the mayor give Dwight the key to the city. Aside from that they never stopped, going from one song to the next, hustling through instrument changes without stopping. I had a strange desire to smoke a cigarette at the end. It was that good. Bonus points to Eddie for background vocals and style, which reminds me, where can I get a jacket like that?
