i was there, although bss and the markers (and radio 4) blew ass. at least bss made me laugh when they said they were 2 members short because they got arrested for buying pot.
dinosaur were amazing, lost my shit when they played "little furry things", murph lost his glasses and ended in the crowd and someone handed them to lou (and went "glasses? what glasses?"), j broke a string right before the solo in "freak scene", the crowd yelling "YOU!" and pointing to the band during "just like heaven", a stagediver almost nailed me with his boot when he dove and they closed with "chunks".

also, very important gig, exodus in '04, they came here two days after zetro quit the band for the second time, the band came onstage and gary holt said "we lost our lead singer a few days ago and we had to invite our friend to play, but if you know exodus you know that we NEVER CANCEL A GIG!" and went straight up to play the song "exodus" followed by "piranha". they played so hard and so intense, one of the most brutal pits i've ever seen and just amazing intense music all around. ohh man, when they played "a lesson in violence" i lost it!
also, i saw morbid angel in 1995 as a three piece (david, trey and pete) and just a few months before david quit the band, first underground show i've ever been to, so heavy and amazing; when they played the slow songs, they played them twice as slow. i saw them again a few years ago, and they were just as intense.
