The earliest of John's eight Convoy sightings, a year into the band's life, in the 200-cap room they'd reunite in fourteen years later. John supplied the date from the band's side of the story. No ticket survives.
The moment
The Casbah is San Diego's legendary 200-cap room — the club every band from that city passes through on the way up — and in November 1997 Convoy were a year old, playing home turf. This is the earliest of John's eight Convoy sightings and the start of the archive's longest personal thread: he'd follow Jason Hill and Brian Karscig through Boston clubs and Sunset Strip support slots, design for the band Louis XIV they became, stand in a London crowd on their European tour, and come back to this exact room for the reunion fourteen years later.
From the time

“San Diego's storied 200-cap club — where the archive's longest band thread begins and, fourteen years later, closes its loop.”
