Randy celebrated his 35th birthday at the Agora, playing to an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd, despite a cold and sore throat, which affected his voice. His backing band, The Silverados, marked his birthday by presenting him with a cake and leading the crowd in “Happy Birthday.” Drummer Craig Krampf gave him a t-shirt, which he changed into during the show.
