I remember seeing him perform live in a small local pub (a place called Poor David's) back in the early 90s. His son was with him playing drums. At that time when you bought the tickets one was informed that he absolutely would not be playing "Alices Restaurant." I suppose he was burned out doing it.
It was a small bar and I recall standing right next to him in the men's during a break.
