The five piece band took the stage to a rousing applause created by the brave fans who stood through the rain to witness a stunning concert. Opening with a crowd favorite, "Euro-trash Girl," they included stunning solos by Johnny Hickman, and Lowery himself. Moving into "100 Flower Power Maximum," Lowery suggested that the fans near the chairs pass them forward. this caused quite a stir in the rear, and a major headache for those of us in the front, and the cops that helped to keep things safe.

After repeatedly being hit with frisbees, the band asked the crowd to stop pelting them, as this was said, Hickman was hit with a teddy bear. The rowdy crowd clapped and cheered through all of the singles that

Cracker has put out in the past few years, including "Low" "Get off this" "I hate my Generation" and many others. They perform two or three pieces of new material from their forthcoming album Gentleman's Blues.

The night was puntuated with rousing guitar solos, and vocal performances by the Hickman and Lowery. Rupe and the gang did not seem to enjoy the cold night as much as the fans and the lead singer did.
