Who knew that this would be the last/only time I'd see this band.
This might be the only time I saw anything at the State Fair Coliseum. I remember it being enormous and completely packed. I watched the show from the seats because the main floor was so insane. It's definitely one of those show where I wished I remembered more. In my mind I can see them playing, hear how loud it was and how less than spectacular the sound was, but I don't know if I'm actually remembering any of this stuff or just filling in holes.
The Meat Puppets and the Boredoms opened. I remember being completely intrigued by the Boredoms.
Nirvana's set was short. Kurt Cobain was pissed that someone from the crowd threw a shoe on stage. I suppose it's reasonable, do you think you'd enjoy shoes being thrown at you?
I saw the Davenport, IA show on the 22nd, one week before this show. Jawbreaker and Mudhoney opened. But we didn't know who Jawbreaker was at the time, and somehow we were led to believe it was the Wipers. It was a year or two before I figured it all out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, when I was confirming that it was this show that I was introduced to the Boredoms I saw that earlier dates got Jawbreaker and Mudhoney and was slightly jealous. Remember when this sort of thing wasn't easily accessible and you had to really try to figure out who you saw.
ReplyDeleteI saw them in KC on the 21st that month!
ReplyDeleteI saw their very last show in Seattle... and then he blew his brains out. Butthole Surfers and Chokebore opened which has to be the best openers ever.
ReplyDeleteNice. Man I miss you, Angie.
