I wish my mind was like a sponge and I could just remember everything. This was my first time seeing Fugazi and I can't find the setlist. The video isn't up in the archive. My memory, not so great.
One of the many reasons why I love Fugazi, and I really do, is that they stuck to their guns with the show price. $6! It's the perfect price for my 20 year old broke self.
Before the show bunch of my friends and I stopped by the rehab facility that our friend was in after having brain surgery months prior. It was a long and tough recovery for him and I tried to be there as much as I could, which wasn't as much as I wanted to since I lived in Illinois. It's pretty difficult to go from visiting your 19 year old friend who is trying to relearn how to walk, talk and feed himself to being super pumped to see a band but we did our best. I feel like we dedicated this show, because we were playing it and all, to him.
Shellac and Blonde Redhead opened and I feel like we missed both of them. I would see them plenty in my future anyway but I didn't know that at the time.
End Hits had just come and I hadn't really gotten into it yet. I was all about Repeater and 13 Songs at the time. In fact, whenever I think of Fugazi I think of being 15 years old and sitting in the back seat of my friends car driving around Northville while screaming all the lyrics to Promises. They didn't play it, and I remember being disappointed.
Is it really possible to be that disappointed in a Fugazi show? What I wouldn't give to see them again.
