Outside of the Whigs playing the HFStival, there was only one stop at the 9:30 during the "Black Love" tour. They did play the 9:30 when they toured for "1965," though.

Were you the a-hole who cracked the beer bottle over my head at that one, sending me to a 7 hour wait for attention in the Howard Hospital?

My bad…it was the 1965 tour….they came around with the bigger band and backup singer…maybe 6 - 8 months later they came back as a 4 piece and it wasn't nearly as good.

in no particular order…

Radiohead 96
Beck 97/98 (can't remember the date)
JSBX/JesusLizard/SoCulture/CiboMatto NYE 97
Jeff Tweedy 01
Nick Cave 01

:eek:

rhett, unfortunately, that was not me. did they make you wait in the second-class section of howard hospital?

however, i was assaulted with ice cubes at a cracker show once. there can be an oddly violent element at these shows and that makes no sense to me at all. (i'd expect it at, say, motorhead.)

Originally posted by bunnyman:
5) Aphex Twin w/Death in Vegas and the Sneaker Pimps, 9/5/1997

that one made my list. definitely one of the most fun shows i've been to. the bears totally made the show. unfortunately i'm assuming i'll never have the chance to see aphex twin live again.

i'm feeling the same about autechre too.

yeah! I was there. On the 1965 tour. They dropped the whole feather boa type schtick that had been prevalent all tour & just rocked.
