I don't know, but U2 and the Red Rockers, (playing in Dallas the next day, show was great) were on KZEW, Dallas FM, on a show that highlighted "underground" music as it was called then, the show was "The Rock and Roll Alternative", responsible for me purchasing my first Red Lorry Yellow Lorry LP.........anyhoo, I was a caller(remember, I'm an idiot 15 here) and got to ask them questions on the air. I don't remember anything at all, except gushing and asking no pertinent questions that I had agonized over all night...............at school the next day a girl ask, "Was that you on the radio last night, cool." I know I had made a complete ass of myself, because this chick was a serious dingbat. Never heard of the Red Rockers again, ever. > That same year I saw REM with 10,000 Manics opening > up for them in Raleigh. Ny first REM show had Let's Active opening......... > In 1992, I saw Ride with the Pale Saints opening up. The Pale Saints > were great! I saw Ride on that same tour, at Slim's SF,and at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz the very next day. Only went because my friend was working for Reprise/WB in Alt Marketing and had free tix to things all the time. I was bummed at Ride's version of the Creation's How does it feel..... > > > 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. Didn't that turn into a 3 band tour w/The Cure in larger cities? I know that was the lineup in SanJose. > I met Peter Zaremba and > company later that night. shared a cab w/him during Cavestomp, and he kept us rolling in cynicism and sarcasm. > Satan's Pilgrims was a decent psycho-surf band that same night. Good standard anytime. > > BRING BACK IRS RIP > The Cutting Edge, > Melvin Little Ahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zaremba & I talked about that backstage at Cavestomp, he said MTV treated him like shit and said they have NO tapes of The Cutting Edge and would pay if someone had them.........my Dad taped over all of mine, alas.................... If anyone has them, Peter wants them! Email me! thats quite enuff for the evening! Caught bronchitis from my hubbie, time to take that yummy couch syrup w/vicodin in it and perchance to sleep..............ciao, ~ALYSSA > > __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 09:56:13 -0000 From: "Coleman, Steve" Subject: Milkshakes @ The Hope Robby Wrote: «1.)
