Yeah, it was great. They were powerful, genuinely funny, and the drummer a hero for continuing to play with a bleeding, fucked-up hand, and then diving into the crowd right at the end, and said crowd held him aloft like a returning war hero.

I'd struggle to complete this list for this year, let alone the last 12 years of giggage.
First: Stiff little fingers (1994) Last: a guy playing a Kora on the streets, Monday (unless you count the fact that I listened to some industrial machinery for 20 minutes on lunch today, which was gorgeous). Edit: And before the guy playing the Kora it was about an hour-and-a-half of bell-ringing in a local church. Awesome, it was.

First was a Bad Manners gig at the East Ham Odeon in about '83, the last was Shellac at Koko last year. Without wanting to state the obvious, Bad Manners were better.

missed my chance to see one of Jerry's last shows when a g/f and I broke-up (she ended up going)...to the victor belong the spoils haha Well, I've got more than a few other rare appearance shows in the memory bank to kind of make up for it. when I went to see RatDog, my then g/f scored from the bassist backstage Went to an Eric's Trip show once and they didn't show up. Cat Power did that once too. At GNR/Metallica, Axl left early after a scuffle and they played Led Zep covers to fill out their opener set. |

I think they only played London the once and if everyone who says they were there actually was, the venue would've needed to be a football stadium!

^^^dr666 - Neil saw them, and Thalia Zedek kept hassling all and sundry for smack. Needless to say, our man was most amused

At the Selhurst Park "Arthur Wait" stand, I believe.
On another tip, me and demon can happily attest to seing the first ever Boredoms gig in the UK (Feb 1994 at the Islington Garage). Really, you should have all been there. But you weren't, so ha!

I saw Harry Crews and got to stand next to Thurston Moore and Gibby Haynes in the crowd. I was young, and up to that point they were probably the only Americans I'd seen that close and I remember wondering if all Americans were that tall. Just as well Ronnie James Dio walked in soon after.
PS. I lied. RJD never was at the Harry Crews gig. |

cool you saw Harry Crews...
Jon Spencer (you posted about him the other day) sidled up next to me back to the bar for one opening band that I cannot remember the name of...something to do with "zoo" or "aquarium" maybe...perhaps someone knows...at an early JSBX show...first two times i saw 'em they were opening for TJL and so it was the 3rd time seeing 'em, first time headlining they used to be great live (they were only average the last time a few years ago)... just one brush with greatness at a show (this could go on) |

Great gigs part zzzzzz: Me and DR666 (before we knew each other) saw Skullflower at the Marquee in 1992 - still one of my fave all-time gigs.

Years back I noticed Lydia Lunch browsing in a bookshop I was working in. I think I might have let out a little fart of excitement. Again, I was young.
