Rage
 Bob Dylan
 George Clinton (particularly a show in Nov, 1999)
 Cowboy Mouth (the first time i saw them)
 Sex Pistols

 one other show that stood out was a Hole show in 1994 at the WUST music hall before the conversion to the 930 club, not long after Kurt Cobain died

old club - one's that stick out
 
 fishbone - a day show on a hot summer day. mmmmm... i can still smell it. the whole club was literally dripping with sweat. the floors were wet all the way down the front hallway. that show had to add something to the unique smell of the club.
 
 fleshtones '87ish - pete zaremba took me downstairs to the backstage. i was young and thought it was just to talk. when he put his arm around me on the couch I started to figure it out...when he went to grab us drinks, I ran like hell!
 
 house of love w/catherine wheel
 inspiral carpets w/charlatans
 
 new club
 gomez
 wilco
 soul coughing
 sleater-kinney w/white stripes

No Tammy Wynette?  She did play the club right, and that was one of your dream shows I thought.

 the orb 05/10/97 (the july 97 date wasn't as good)

 probably sigur ros 03/19/03
 echo & the bunnymen 07/06/01 (mostly because of the crowd)

i'm just curious.. why was that show so horrible? did you not know what they were about before seeing them? everyone else that i talked to who went (i went as well) were completely floored. i'd like to hear your opinion about it.

i heard that show was even better, yeah... it was just the first time i had seen them, and what really floored me the most was just seeing how  nobody moved, or talked, the entire time. normally at a show, even if it's more low key there is at least one person talking or trying to get a drink. but sigur ros just made everyone freeze in their steps. that was the most amazing part.

...except for the very annoying clapping Gay geeky Frat boys right next to me.     :roll:    These weren't the normal appreciative claps that I'm talking about but the very irritating type used to insight the crowd. It was so out of place for that show. You could tell that everyone wanted to kick them out.

radiohead, pulp, michael stipe - the sudden show
 
 any of the soul coughing shows
 
 the verve
 
 the night korn made evilsatan turn the heat up.

 new years eve, 1996

- James Brown was a kick ass show.
  - Dillinger Escape Plan in 2002 was great, with the fire breathing at the end of the set.
  - Pietasters/Slackers/King Django was quite memorable
  - Chick Corea was cool wish I was high thought
  - Steel Pulse was a great experience but only because I was so fucked up.
