Why don't you buy the CD Vol 1 version of this series for a good value. It has the best songs from the first couple LP's, I think.

But for couple of times I've felt like I'm in the right place at the right time: 1) Union Carbide Productions - February 1988 Tavastia, Helsinki. First of all I had to sneak in to the club and hide there all afternoon since I was underage at the time. But it was all worth of it... Everybody who has heard their magnificent two first albums can only imagine how they were in their prime at the stage. Well, the show went way beyond that. The room was full of fuzzy guitars, screaming saxophone and total chaos. It pretty much fucked up my tender mind. 2) Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - December 1994 Tramps, New York. Same here - right place at the right time. Blues Explosion had just released their greatest album Orange and everybody was going out of their trees - including me. 3) Rolling Stones - August 1990 in Gothenburg, Sweden. I know, definately not the right time here... but gimme a break. This was the first chance for me to see them since they didn't play any shows in Finland between 1970 and 1996. I was in the second row (it was impossible to get to the first) and too busy to worry about their age or anything like that. Seeing Keef playing Sympathy for the Devil few feet away from me was like being in a rock'n'roll heaven. Bubblin' under: The Fleshtones (200 Bar, Brooklyn 1995), ? and the Mysterians (Coney High, NY 1998), The 5678's (Coney High, NY 1997 AND Wild Weekend, London 1998), Monster Magnet (Tavastia, Helsinki 1995), Miracle Workers (Tavastia, Helsinki 1988), Little Richard and Chuck Berry (Areena, Helsinki 1997), The Hellacopters (Gino, Stockholm 1995 AND Garageshock, WA 1999), The Lyres (Brownies, NY 1995), The Nomads (Ruisrock, Turku 1986), Iggy Pop (Icehall, Helsinki 1991 and so many other times), The Cramps (Tavastia, Helsinki 1991) Tribute to Doo-wop and Rhythm'n'blues, (Harlem, NY 1999), The Renegades (Cantina West, Helsinki 1998), Thee Ultra Bimboos (Hohe Tatra, Berlin 1996 and so many other times), The Bambi Molesters (KSET, Zagreb 1999), The Fuzztones (somewhere in Turku 1990), The Droogs (Tavastia, Helsinki 1988), Screaming Lord Sutch (Tavastia, Helsinki 1989), The Damned (Ruisrock, Turku 1986), James Brown (Vanha, Helsinki 1996), Nirvana (Ruisrock, Turku 1992), Mudhoney (Lepakko, Helsinki 1992), The Ramones (Tavastia, Helsinki 1994), The New Christs (Tulliklubi, Tampere 1989), The Dictators (Coney High, NY 1995), Wayne Kramer (Mercury Lounge, NY 1995), Dead Moon (Tavastia, Helsinki 1995), Los Banditos (Kuhlhaus, Flensburg 1998), Demolition 23 (Tavastia, Helsinki 1994), Smack (Ämyrock, Hämeenlinna 1995), The Hypnomen (anywhere, anytime), Ronnie Dawson (Louisana Bar, New York 1997)... Uh oh, there must be a lot of great shows I forgot... The first show? Local rock'n'roll heroes The Hurriganes (all Swedes on the list must remember them, huh?) sometime in the late seventies in my hometown. I was eight - and never quite the same after that. - - Jarkko ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 19:32:04 +0100 From: "Laurent Bigot" Subject: Re: Favourite Gigs It's kinda hard to say which were the fave shows I witness but here are a few of the best ones: Les Coronados: somewhere in Clermont Ferrand (middle of France) in '84. There was like 20/30 people in the place but everybody went nuts. Jackie & the Cedrics at Garage Shock '94... I'm sick of too many instro bands around but the Cedrics rule!!! The Loons at Fuzzfest: they were a mess, but what a mess!!! The Kids at the Farenheit (near Paris) in '95 (?). I'm so proud to have open for that show with the Jerks. The Sex Pistols (reunion) at le Zenith... despite Johnny Lydon goofy act...

Ismail Samie is a great fucking guy. He's a pro who hasn't forgotten his mod-garage-psych roots. He's a gentleman and one of the best soul&60's dj I know ( the clubnights Lolita & Soulastatic they throw in Gothenburg are the best. We've played Lolita twice and it's the BEST party!!) The new Caesar's Palace is further removed from garage idiom but it packs just so much punch it's amazing. You'll love it I'm sure. more caesars palace trivia...

Not just musicians like Springsteen and Fogerty but any type of celeb, like Pat (Acess Hollywood) O'Brien or Tipper Gore (maybe) It's often mentioned and is probably apocryphal but actor Joe Pesce and Jimi Hendrix were both members of Joe Dee's Starlighters. ok, probably at different times, which makes the story infinitely less cool. >Rick, we're too old to go to concerts anymore. One of the main reasons I left a company 6 months ago was when I was talking to a co-worker (who himself is one of the major Springsteen (cough) collectors nationwide) about music when my thirtysomething boss walked by and said, "music, I could follow it when I was in college, but after that I just stopped buying cds." >* Madness, 1983, Warner Theater (?) (Slickee Boys opened and we weren't >allowed to dance! Madness was great, my buddy and I ran out and bought >oversized "baggy trousers" suits before the show and--Don Smith--wrung >the sweat out of them afterwards. Great night) Joe, what are you talking about? this is that other Don Smith in the DC scene, right? right? >* Husker Du, 1983, Psychedelly, Bethesda, MD (great, great intensity >and energy, one of the most powerful shows I've ever been to) Are you talking about their October 84 show with Peach of Immortality/Tony Perkins & the Pyschotics and Vancouver 5/DOA pals Shanghai Dog opening? I was at that show, but clueless to local shows in 1983, the 1984 show was my first club show with multiple bands I was a little winded by the time Husker Du came on. The Godfathers 1988 my avorite part of their U of MD show was I was trying to get them to do a station ID for MUC and they were acting weird and all of the sudden just formed a tight circle and started urinating into the middle of it (this was outdoors), basically freaking everyone out and scattering the fans. they appologized and said they didn't get a dressing room. They always did a great live metal/mod version of the beastie boys fight for your right to party. yes I said "metal/mod." >Nothing to be ashamed of, Lee! I loved the Sha-Na-Na t.v. show--surely one >of my formative influences toward ultimately becoming a nut for past sounds. oh yeah, absolutley, when you're 8 or 9 years old and peter frampton frightens you, the Laverne and shirley comedy rocknroll of sha na na was great. and I learned all the doo wop hits. >Somebody should also start a thread on the worst shows they've ever seen. I actually wrote out the worst garage shows I ever saw and then stopped and didn't send them. Bo Diddley the first 2 times I saw him (w/ Ron Wood and w/ his family) were stunners that was 86 and 88 I think. Bo lived in DC for several years in the 60s and his touring band stayed here when he moved to (Florida?), and I vaguely knew his nephew (who performed as Bo Diddley Jr and may now live in NYC) from playing around. So when he played here in 88, his 1960s era bassist was there, his back up singer, nephew the guitarist, etc. amazing show. Then I saw him again in maybe 1990, he started introducing rap and reggae, was considerably older looking and played these extended jams. Practically the highlight was hanging out with the Sugarcubes who happened to be in the audience for that show. I guess everyone hits that age in their 60s or 70s when there's no turning back and for Bo it was around 1990.

The Liguid Paper would love to have keys for the GoApe! show at the Milky Way. We will be doing about 10-12 Monkees songs. Pretty easy ones. You don't even need an organ, as there are a mulititude of people we know that "have a farfisa, but can't play it". The point is that we already are familiar with the songs so that not much rehearsal time is needed and stress is at a minimum. We'll get together three or four time before hand. So if you feel up to it, please e-mail me. It's guaranteed to be a fun night.

I'm probably wasting my time, but I think you're limiting yourself by insisiting on a dress code - no jeans? No boots? The thing that makes big shows and dance parties really cool, is all the cool *new* people you can meet and all the old friends you can see. If you tell people how they should be, the new folks won't show. For example, I was nearly about to forward the message about the party to friends of mine who live out there - *until* I read the dress code tag. No way would I pass that on to people I care about. dancebeatmod tee wrote: A sharp-HARD dress code is going to be in place...no jeans, > no boots...strictly dress-stylin' trousers and DANCING soles on those > feet...be ready to climb on board as the LOCOMOTIVE gets a-rollin !!! > > cheers to all, Terry-Adrian-Patrick > ______________________________________________________ __________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Get your FREE Internet Access and Email at http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2000 13:06:09 -0500 From: Jahna Subject: Re: a-bones I agree!

I used to watch that show throughout my high school years. It's still kind of hard to believe that the USA network would show something that cool. I recalled my first exposure to Joy Division in the summer of 1987 on SNUB. My girl friend, Maria, just moved to Ohio, and I heard "Love Will Tear Us Apart." I worshiped Joy Division since then. I was later surprised to find out that it wasn't a 1987 release, but it was the pre New Order predecessor in 1980. I also remember a tribute to 80s garage bands. They played "Right Side of a Good Thing" by the Fleshtones, "Her Head's Revolving" by the Three O'Clock, "I Had a Dream" by the Long Ryders, "Ward 81" by the Fuzztones, "Never Alone" by the Vipers, and "99th Floor" by the Chesterfield Kings. By the way, where the hell can I find anything on CD with "99th Floor" by the Chesterfield Kings? Is there anything attempt to put the Vipers on CD as well? Anybody's ever heard of Deep Six? What became of Easterhouse? I am dumping my cable for Dish. Apparently, you can get MTV's sister network, M2. On M2, they seem not to have any format with regard to videos. I would love to see Bauhaus, the Jam, Split Enz, the Armoury Show, Deep Six, Big Dipper, Easterhouse, Love Tractor, the Hoodoo Gurus, the Mighty Lemon Drops, etc. Well, you get the idea. MTV sucks! But M2 is alright. Eventhough it was the Reagan era, we still had a vibrant underground. I just don't know what has happened to the youth's sense of the bohemian life. By the way, I'm in search of a Vox Organ. There's a friend of mine whose interested in starting a garage band. I can't play a lick, but wasn't that what the punk ethic was all about? We are hoping to take our cue from the Nuggets/Pebbles/DIY/New Wave/Post Punk Chronicles tradition to create our fusion of low tech minimalist psycho punk meanderings. I'm in search of a good name. I want something that would have the theme of Dr. Who and the Daleks or Barnabus Collins of Dark Shadows. But I'm not limited to that per se.

Anyone knows what is on it?

You can choose the search (Zoek!) engine below on the left if you are interested in particular bands. Don't know if it is that comprehensive (they ask for contributions and additions) but a bio and a discography are mostly available. Dutch language only alas but the discographies might prove helpful to some. On another note the Dutch record collecting zine "Platenblad" is currently publishing a Nederbeat 1964-1968 discography in monthly installments (M-P being the latest).

My boyfriend used to live in Korea, where he swears they had a "bug of the month" club!
