Cowboy Junkies Concert Reviews

Review of Philadelphia concert
The Cowboy Junkies played live at the 
Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA
Friday Sept. 11, 1998.
Margo stayed around after the concert, and met with the fans, and signed some CDs, t-shirts, and ticket stubs. The concert was great, while in between songs Margo talked on stage about how the band spends time on the tour bus. The guys play Nitendo, while she does needle-point And everyone does the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle. She asked the audience for a little help on 2 of the questions. She then introduced the next song as the best way to explain her brother Pete's crossword skills, " a Common Disaster". After performing "Summer of Our Discontent" she told of how she messed up a few nights before, while performing the song. She said that she went into the chorus of the song really loud at the wrong time and the rest of the band didn't follow her. She said that she was up there singing "I'll carry you my love...." and every one was just looking at her. She said "I don't know why I'm telling you this, I guess I had to tell someone." She then started the song "Just Wanna See" and started laughing while singing the second line and had to start the song over again. 
Margo was dressed in a white button down knit top with a black knee length skirt. She change into a long black dress with a blue sweater to meet with the fans after the show (see photo).
