Certainly one of the best.<br /><br />But oh how the mighty have fallen. I can't remember the last time they had a show that I would even consider going to see, and i still check out their show listing regularly.<br /><br />The Walt Mink show, although it was very short and almost competely unattended, was one of the best music performances I've ever seen.<br /><br />It's funny about Th Faith Healers. I was at that show, too, and I have no recollection of them playing. Several years after that, I did a tour with the Rockateens opening for Superchunk.

It was at the Roxy in 94. Cool post, seems to represent a lot of the earliest shows I ever saw (like that Ramones show) along with some I was too young to get into.

I still feel warm inside from it all these years later. That Fugazi show was great. Or did you mean the Grotus set? That was also precious to me. It was loud as hell and those guys were crazy. If I remember correctly, there were two guys playing six-string bass through like ten giant amps, which was right up my alley. All the songs were about the apocalypse. I don't know much about them or Soulside, but I think proven hollow remembers correctly about the monkey-jumping part.
