I never saw Cracker before. I wasn’t even sure of their music but they were great. I believe in the interaction between audience and band, i.e., the band feeds off the audience and vise versa. They were the perfect example. I found my hands clapping to the beat of one song involuntarily. That never happened to me before, even the guitar player looked shocked when every one was doing the same thing. It was a magical rock’n roll moment I won’t forget. I went out west on vacation a few weeks later. I was listening to a radio station as I drove past Chicago on rt. 80. The DJ said he had been to a show over the week end and Cracker played. He praised their live performance too. Thanks for introducing me to their music.
