On June 5, 2004, Vida Blue , the pitcher, came down to the Fillmore in San Francisco to meet Vida Blue, the band, and watch our show that night: Vida Blue and the Spam All-Stars. The connection was immediate. He was kind, funny, gracious and incredibly generous, bringing us signed game-worn jerseys and other memorabilia. We invited him onstage to “throw out the first pitch” with some balls he had signed for us. He really enjoyed the show, especially our version of Cisco kid by War, which was most familiar to him. This was the only time he saw the band, and his appearance was captured on the video we made of a concert that night. And for that I am very grateful.
I first approached Mr. Blue in the late fall of 2001 to ask permission to use his name for the name of the band. We were able to convince Vida that we were a serious band, and I remember thinking that he felt somewhat honored, but also somewhat perplexed by the request. Any skepticism he may have felt was put to rest that night at the Fillmore.
Rest in peace Vida Blue .
Love, Page
