in San Marcos, TX. It was 1980 I believe. George Strait played the same venue. He was an ag major at SWTSU at the time.

Also I've seen

Buddy Guy
Smoking Joe Kubek
Jimmy Vaughan
Dave Stewart
Dick Dale - King of surf guitar!
Chris Stein
Dickie Betts
Pete Townsend
Peter Buck
Carl Perkins
Billy Gibbons
Johnny Ramone
Neil Young
Chuck Berry (asshole!)
Charley Sexton
Doyle Bramhall II
Joe Ely

Some Texas folks who aren't super famous, but very good:

Carolyn Wonderland
Hamilton Loomis
Vince Converse
Tony Vega
Ian Moore

And I went to high school with singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen.
