I went to see my old friend Paul Kopasz play last night (of Paul K. and The Weathermen fame). He told me that his first show, as a kid growing up in Detroit, had been Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
The opening act?

This was my first show as well (that I chose to go to on my own, anyway), Greek Theater, Berkeley, CA also 1985. It sounds like a lot of us got dragged along to a show against our will for our first concert, and mine was the goddamn Oak Ridge Boys. Thanks, Mom.
Fuck you.
Yes! Fuck you too!

fugazi and the ex. dec. 07, 1999.
blew my fuckin' mind.
btw: fugazi got blown way off the stage. the ex should've gone on second.
Same thing happened when I saw that tour in Seattle, and I really like Fugazi.
First show ever: Joan Jett at the Chase County Fair in maybe 87 or 88. That's Chase County Nebraska, where Joan was rocking the rodeo arena. I remember feeling bad for her having to play that joint, but it was a good show.

I think it was Peter Gabriel at the Uptown Theater in 1980. God that was cool.

First show:
1990 (91?)
Vassar College
Rollins Band (Turned On tour when they were still fresh and good)
Seperate Peace
Your Mom (seriously, a real band from Vassar)
The whole place reeked of patchouli. This was only the second time I'd smelled the stuff- the first was my first DK tape, someone had got patchouli on the lyrics sheet- and from then on I associated the smell with punk/hardcore. I apologize to my friends for wearing the shit for a few years. Sorry, but you know how powerful scent memories can be.

I drove down to Vassar to see the Babylon Dance Band and Antietam play at about this time. Did you happen to attend this show?
