glad to see someone from here was at that gig.

Saw Afriramp open for em in Amsterdam and, apparently Glasgow (according to the concert chronology though don't really recall seeing them, I guess I did though). idk, not a huge fan, maybe I should go back and re-listen.

Alabama kids from Holland!

Utrecht, 29th of june 1993, Tivoli, my first SY show...

That is an absolutely amazing setlist, actually. Very jealous.


Mine was:
The Fatal Flying Guilloteens
Thursday, July 8th, 1999
Austin, Texas, USA

Just fun, sloppy energy

Edit: And while not actually SY, True Widow opening for Chelsea Light Moving has been my overall fav "SY related" opener. Just some good ol' sludgy stoner metal from Dallas. Knew nothing about them upon seeing them, but was very pleasantly surprised.

Movietone when I saw SY in London in 96 were very good too.

Most entertaining was probably Rapeman.

i am pretty sure i saw them at the 930 in dc in 2004 but for the fuck of me i can't remember white magic or magik markers as opening acts as the mustang site lists them.

i wonder what the fuck i was drinking or if i took some weird pills. my recollections of that night are *extremely* vague.

Black Dice + Lightning Bolt.

Pavement.

Franky Goes to Hollywood


just kiddin. relax. loosen up.:p

....Stereolab. still a fan today. they were so perfect. in volume and tunes.

Manchester '96 - LungLeg and Makeup
London '02 - Liars

Same for me!

Yeah man. It was my first time seeing them and that pretty much took my love for them to the next level. Worst thing was that I didn't recognise Brother James as I hadn't heard that album yet. I never got to see them play that song again and I'm still gutted about.

first time for me as well! what a coincidence, hehe. fought my way from balcony maybe to the 3rd. row in the main pit during Stones song!

*hi-five* I was the front too. I stood at the front door from about 12 waiting to get in (I was young and keen). At least I got to meet the band as they were going in, so that's something.

Great thread topic!

Saw the Dirty Three open for SY in '95 at the Academy in NYC. The matinee show. Made quite an impression on me.

Sean Lennon and Nod were a great pairing in '98 at Irving Plaza.

Sean Lennon is shit.

Ditto. Although Stefan Jarowyck and co at The Forum on the Washing Machine tour was fun just for the hugely negative reaction on the part of a lot of the audience.
