Luna at the Blackcat
 
 Love at the Blackcat
 
 I think I fell asleep at the show by the singer of Soul Coughing at the Blackcat.
 
 But, above all, GUIDED BY VOICES. What an awful band!
 
 However, I guess that if I had seen a Foo Fighters show, they would be tied with Guided by Voices.

Morrissey at MPP in say, 1991.  I think it was after "Kill Uncle" came out, American Music CLub at the Black Cat (1994 I think) and Tricky at the old Bohagers (mid -90's around the time of Tricky's 2nd release)

New Order, I think at the Ontario, during their first US tour in the early 80s. Don't get me wrong, I love the band but they totally fucked up that night. They were all drunk as shit and didn't get onstage until hours after they were supposed to have started. If what I heard was correct, they had to be pulled out of some deli or restaurant across the street and forced onstage. Maybe it was Seth who finally kicked their asses on. It was an IMP show. Not a night that I envied him. Then they proceeded to suck ass.
 
 I've heard that they are capable of performing very well....when they control the substances.

Brian Jonestown Massacre a week or so ago at the Black Cat.  Also, a few years ago at the 930 Cornershop played a very mediocre set.

Christ, that was so long ago that I don't remember. The Beach and Blue Monday were about the only known songs at the time, and I mean before either were rereleased or remixed about a thousand times.

Cool,i saw them there on that tour and was wondering if it was the same gig.i remember being disapointed but thats about it.Saw excellent shows by The Furs(forever now tour) and The Cure(the Top tour) there before it shut down.PIL was a good show there as well.

Chances of our becoming show buddies: NONE

i'll third the miserable that first new order tour experience... they played detroit on quite possibly one of the hottest nights ever.  st andrews was packed to the gills it was 100+ degrees in club.  they band came on at the last possible minute to get in their hour long show before the 2am curfew.  disappointing for sure... come to think of it the other time i saw them live it was lousy.
