I had the absolute pleasure to see these guys in Vancouver, BC in 2000 they opened for Alabama, but they were not treated like an opening act as both acts did their full show. The funniest thing from that concert that I will never forget is after Nitty Gritty did their opening number Jeff Hannah introduced the rest of the band and he told the audience "Between the 5 of us you see up here on stage, we've been married a total of 17 times." I thought after he said that, my God no wonder they're still on tour, they must have a hell of a lot of alimony payments....Just thought I'd share that memory.
