2000s - #4: In the early 1990s, the Gin Blossoms had a string of chart successes with songs such as Hey Jealousy, Found Out About You, Allison Road and Follow You Down, Some of that success was overshadowed, however, by the suicide of band founder, Doug Hopkins, who had been dismissed from the group right before they made it big due to his issues with alcohol. The Gin Blossoms broke up in early 1997, but 4 years later decided to regroup. Just as that reunion was about to take flight, the band dismissed Phil Rhodes, due to issues with alcohol, an eerie parallel to what had happened with Hopkins. This soundboard recording captures the Gin Blossoms during that reunion tour in Agoura Hills on January 24, 2003, 14 years ago today.

Thanks for the Gin. Great sound.
I always thought the Gin Blossoms ripped off the Replacements and reaped the benefits. I wasn't aware of the tragedy they went through though. But I think they still owe Paul Westerburg a debt of gratitude.
Anyway they did have some great hooks and thanks for giving me the opportunity to check this out.
