(Big thanks to Izzyontour.com for maintaining the Izzy Concert Almanac for so many years!)
03.10.1995 - Las Vegas, NV, The Joint Hard Rock Hotel
Set: Hey Bo Diddley
Info: Sheryl Crow, Weezer, Duran Duran and Wayne Neutron play at the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Wayne Neutron was a band including Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Teddy Andreadis. The set included songs like Manic Depression, Hey Joe (both with Seal on vocals), Rebel Yell, Shakin' All Over (both with Billy Idol), Black Leather (Steve Jones), Raw Power (Iggy Pop & Steve Jones). Izzy Stradlin, Gilby Clarke, BB King, Bo Diddley and others played Bo Diddley's song from 1957 called Hey Bo Diddley. Izzy: "I returned to Los Angeles after Duff's phone call: "Hey man, you come back, we'll play for the opening of a new casino in Las Vegas. It's me who's handling the roster. There'll be Iggy Pop, Bo Diddley, B.B. King, etc." I answered him "Whoaa! When do you want me to find you over there? If I can play with Bo or B.B., I'll come." He called me back the next day: "Izzy, you're going to accompany Bo and B.B. at the same time." How could I have refused that offer? I so went there and I took my place".
04.27.1995 - Chicago, IL, The Metro
Set: Bitch [encore]
Info: Izzy joins Slash's Snakepit for this classic Stones song which finished Slash's band show. Two years earlier Izzy and his Ju Ju Hounds played their show at the same club. Slash tells the crowd that Izzy came to the show just from Indiana. Stradlin went on stage and the roadie gave him his white guitar - Gibson ES-355 with walnut finish. Izzy shared lead vocals with Snakepit's axeman Gilby Clarke. Slash: "Izzy jammed with Snakepit in Chicago, and we did a Stones song, and it was great to see him".
