top 5 shows you have seen at 930

[bearman🐻]

Was anyone else at the Radiohead show at the Black Cat when David Gray opened up? I don't even think that show sold out.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

They were. But apparently the Weird Al show was better.

The Weird Al show was good, just not a top five of mine.

Yes weezer has gone far mainstream, but that show was damn good, and f u to all of you who are too cool to admit you were there. That show was right before all the liitle 13 year old girls with weezer shirts got into them. This show was all diehard weezer fans, all the geeks with the bottle cap glasses and what not, and that there made the show even better. Weird Al blows.

i've seen spiritualized twice at the 9:30, 2002 the first time and then last year as well. the show last year was the one i thought was dire. i left about halfway through. 2002 they were brilliant, so if i were to make a list they'd be top 5.

Totally agree. I had seen Spiritualized in 2002 in Cleveland and the show was absolutely transcendent with crazy instrumental freakouts and awesome lights.  However, when I caught them here in 2003, it was the complete opposite
 ...completely mediocre and uninspired.  I think the show came a day after Field Day but that's no excuse.

I thought Spiritualized with BRMC was brilliant, the spiritualized shows I saw at 930 before and after that were both pretty poor in my opinion.

I thought Spiritualized were wanktastic that night.

I agree... the one in late '97 disappointed me very much so I never bothered to go back

That was an incredible show! The only thing missing were good drugs.
 
 Didn't see the earlier show but everyone across the country seemed to pan that tour. Also, we were one of the few venues to get the post Field Day tour which was only a stripped down show while they happened to be in the States. In my mind, it was sort of like acoustic Spiritualized even though it wasn't acoustic.

i moved here in summer 2001, so i don't have too much to work with...
 
 1. the roots - jan. 2002 (they absolutely killed it that night)
 2. belle & sebastian - oct. 2003
 3. air - april 2004
 4. the hives - july 2004 (very fun show)
 5. the roots - dec. 2002

[brennser]

hmmm, my memory is shot but here goes
 
 1. Afghan Whigs -Sept 99 - surprise, surprise!!
 2. Sleater Kinney - One Beat tour
 3. The Verve - 1997
 4. Wilco - I'm guessing maybe 99 or 2000, pre-YHF though
 5. blank

Some friends of mine saw Spiritualized a month or so after the disappointing 930 show and reported to me that the band wasn't "stripped down" and they were back to their usual bombastic space/psych rock-style, which made me feel cheated and even more pissed about the DC show.
