In 1985, I saw U-2 in Hampton, VA. I was more looking forward to the opening act, the Red Rockers. However, Lone Justice opened for U-2 instead. Not a bad show, but I really wanted to hear the Red Rockers live. By the way, what became of the Red Rockers? That same year I saw REM with 10,000 Manics opening up for them in Raleigh. Afterwards, I didn't go to anymore shows for years. I lived in the an extremely rural part of North Carolina, which severly restricted my travel. In 1992, I saw Ride with the Pale Saints opening up. The Pale Saints were great! The best show was My Bloody Valentine, when they opened up for Dinosaur Jr. I think I lost some of my hearing that night from My Bloody Valentine, but it was worth it. That was also in 1992. Another show that in a lot of ways might have been better was the Sleazefest Festival at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill. It made my whole evening to hear the Fleshtones live. I met Peter Zaremba and company later that night. I was even lucky enough to have some pictures taken with them, although they were drunk as hell that night. Satan's Pilgrims was a decent psycho-surf band that same night.

Makes me think I was born too late reading Lenny's & Lynn's reminisces. Anyway it's a very difficult ask to pick the ultimate shows but here's some memorable ones..... X (the Australian one) over many occasions in the mid to late 80s in Sydney. Amazing band that still play around to this day & are as incredible as ever. I pick this era as it was my formative gig-going years & I was being constantly blown away by many great Sydney bands (New Christs, Died Pretty, Hoodoo Gurus etc). Johnny Thunders, Mosman Hotel Sydney 1986 or 1987. Got to witness one of my all-time heroes in the flesh (with Jerry Nolan as well). Incredible. A jaunt to the USA in the early 90s gave me the opportunity to see the Lyres at CBGBs late 1991 which was very cool. But the most interesting (?) or at least memorable ones were GG Allin at the Khyber Pass in Philly around July/August/September 1991 (the most extreme 'performance' I've ever seen- & I can still smell the poop....) & the Dwarves at the Gaslight in Hollywood around February/March 1991. 15 minutes of chaos as Blag went beserk throwing tables, chairs & anything else he could get his hands on & the security guys actually backed off, no doubt unwilling to take on a guy who appeared totally nuts, despite being twice his size. I heard later that pictures from this show ended up in the sleeve of the second Dwarves album. Also, the Radio Birdman reunion shows a couple of years back were incredible for me as I was too young to have seen them in their 1976-78 heyday. There's my 2 cents worth........ Karl. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 19:45:25 From: Rocky Serkowney Subject: Re: NEW ROCKNROLL MAILING LIST!!!! Hey Bompers, Is it me or does this sound a bit redundant?

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA has his personal archives which would be the most likely place for that film to reside. When I was last there (and carrying archivist credentials) they showed me his autograph album, which is just F*cked up to see photos pf ALL the huge 1940s glamour actresses photos signed "To Andy Warhola." A twisted AMC network dream. And I think I also saw this great correspondence he had with Divine in the early 70s talking about the making of the John Waters empire from circa 1972. but don't trust me 100% on that one. I was there for their VU exhibit which had the paperback, groupies singles, Beechnuts singles, etc. But they didn't really show any films besides the common ones. If he really did do the screentests on everyone that walked into the Factory then, well, they'd have a ton of film already.

I'm not very familiar with the music of Adrian Belew, but I'm looking at a list of his song titles, and it looks like this could be almost any of his songs! The guy seems to have had some kind of rhino fetish..."Final Rhino," "Sexy Rhino," Lone Rhinoceros"...He had one minor hit single, called "Oh Daddy," which featured his daughter...

They were amazing, though quite a few of the Elvis fans didn't like them. Others worthy of note: - --Louis Armstrong, Seattle 1964 or 65. I was about 5, and I guess my mom didn't want to go so my dad took me. I barely remember it, but I do remember that the songs I was familiar with were "Hello Dolly," "Mack the Knife" and "When the Saints Go Marching in." - --22 years ago today, 2-3-78, my first rock concert, the Ramones at the Paramount. I saw the Ramones three more times in the next five years, but I really can't remember one being better than the others. - --September 1987, Western Washington State Fair in Puyallup, The Monkees. When they came to Seattle in 1967 my dad wouldn't take me (he wouldn't take me to see the Beatles in '66 either), so 20 years later I got to see them (without Mike) and it was not a disappointment. A wonderful show. - --Labor Day Weekend, 1998, Seattle's Bumbershoot festival--On separate days I saw ? & the Mysterians and Buck Owens. The ? show was like a religious experience; Buck's was a very different vibe (duh) but just as enjoyable. Joey ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 03:14:06 -0600 From: Alyssa & Chris Subject: suprise@ shows/was fave gigs It's *impossible* to whittle down the BEST gigs one's been to in a short list, especially when you go to shows constantly since the age of 15 and the trip you take via the shows is like an ongoing (still) musical adventure that never stops evolving or expanding. I purposely left off most Bomp/Crypt/Estrus/Lookout/Norton/, Peek-a-Boo, etc, etc, Bomplike bands, for we all see these bands constantly. My list contains shows that were SUPRISINGLY stunning to ME in some way. The shows I glean the most fun from are usually energy-driven(except the haunting DCD and GBV shows) Standing at a show sans energy good or not, drives me mad. I can listen to beauty and behold it w/ my own ears at home, seated comfortably. * Guided By Voices, I-Beam, SF (1994) hardly anyone was there, before GBV became critics darlings. Beautiful, untouched, surreal, SHORT, one of THE best shows I've ever seen. Since many itmes, new line-ups, sans the olde magick and not the same intimacy. * New Model Army/Lords of the New Church (San Jose, '87, second time on acid, egads, was NMA ugly, cuz that acid was good, scared the pants off of me) * Roky Erickson with Speedy Sparks and The Soul Benders, Antone's, Austin, 1996 at a beneift for his brother. Only one song, but it was HIM. * Butthole Surfers, Austin, first time, 1986 (venue? I was 18, can't remember, INSANE) * Circle Jerks, Theatre Gallery, Dallas, 1984(snuck out, lied to parents) * Preservation Hall Band, Stern Grove, SF (no one in the band under 80!)Dixieland at it's best * Pixies, Soul Asylum (before they went off &...)Warfield Theater, 1991 (LONG show,worth it)later that year saw Pixies, Jane's Addiction. inverse experience. leave that be. * Stevie Ray Vaughn, Austin, 1987, sev times, all exceptional * Stiff Little Fingers, I-Beam summer, 1989, SF *(couldn't believe it!) * ? and The Mysterians, twice in '99, Electric Lounge, Austin * Overwhelming Colorfast, SF, Brave New World, NYE, '92, (Chris proposed) * Buzzcocks, I-Beam '91,SF (nostalgia done purrrrfectly) * Wesley Willis, Chameleon, SF, ('95?, Braves had just won world series, and he head-butted me for good-luck and read me his McDonald's poems outta his notebook) * Bellrays, Emo's, SXSW '99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Best of 99 by far. * My Bloody Valentine, SF, Kennel Club, 92, (still ongoing jokes about this outfit?) * The Descendants, Santa Cruz, The Catalyst, 1986 * Arthur Lee's second Bottom of the Hill SF show, '95 * Sebadoh,(biggest indie guy shleprock gathering ever!)BOTH. SF * Pavement, see above! * Hellacopters, Nomads Emo's '99 packed to the gills, rocked.......HARD. * Hi-Fives, Sinister Six, Purple Onion, '95 (mayhem ensued) lived at the PO practically for yrs. * American Music Club, Private Party, 17th & Capp St, SF '96 * MCM and the Monster, Paradise Lounge, SF, 93 * Quadrajets, Austin, 99,Emo's * Poopoo Peepee Pants, Nightbreak, SF, '92 * Imperial Butt Wizards, Nightbreak, SF * The Abe Lincoln Story, (The Als)Brave New World, SF '95 * Tom Waits, Paramount Theater, Oakland, '96 * The Cramps/Sonic Youth, SF Warfield, '89(seen both bands tooo many x's) * Candy Snatchers, Purple Onion, SF 1995, Bates Motel, '98(I include them even tho seen'em 10+x's) * Dead Can Dance (crowd very Death in June-ish ,but OH, so lovely) * Third Bardot,The Hate Bombs, Vipers, and the more obnoxious bands @ Cavestomp '99(didn't adore my hubbies Gravedigger set alas........oops) * Jad Fair, Paradise Lounge, SF, 1996 * Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, SF, Kennel Club '94 or '95 * Thee Hypnotics/BJM, SF Bottom of the Hill, 1995or '94 * Leaving Trains, Lime Spiders Nightbreak, SF, 1993-6 * Sister Double Happiness, Kennel Club, SF,1990(& sev other times) * Psychic TV, Celebrity Skin, Austin, 1989 or 88 * Mermen, Cake, and The Loved Ones (Oakland's), Fillmore, SF 1996 * The Damned, SF 89, Austin, '98 and '99(for sap factor alone) * Man or Astroman? for the first time, '(seen 'em countless since, a little luster lost) I'll stop, there IS no way to keep listing, it would go on forever........ I've left our Royal Trux type stories due to band drug use, left out all the wonderful hardcore shows, the stoner rock contingency (, lips, olivia tremor control, neutral milk hotel), the psychobilly pomadour ansgst rockers, bands from our hall of flyers and posters from SD and LA, lotsa Crawdaddys, Tell-Tale Hearts, (Gravedigger Five and Morlocks of course), The Answers, my very young penchant for Echo and The Bunnymen along w/The Minutemen, Jazz, Performance Art, Industrial, UltraNoize, (how bout those Boredoms?)Aggro, Nostalgia, (saw Cheap Trick last summer and LOVED every second) goes on ad infinitum. Yeah, I prefer garage, garage punk, mod, psyche, and the indescribable indies, but these shows all took me totally unaware and that is the greatest thing, being pleasantly suprised by great music. I realize this was supposed to be 3 great shows and limited, but I can't cut things short, apologies. I'm going to dream about the scads of shows I neglected to mention,but you'll all be glad I mercifully ended this when I did. Felt good remembering.............what I could glean from my brain that is. rockonandon, ~ALYSSA ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2000 #58 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
