Haven't been to too many Black Cat shows but the one that stands out for mutual band/crowd energy would be Ash earlier this year

I dont know why, but these are easy to remember than the 930….. Perhaps just because I have been to fewer shows there.

I love the 9:30, but I have more fond memories at the Black Cat, I have seen way more shows there I think, and the Delgados and Cinerama (2nd show) would be a couple of my favorites as well.

Sleater Kinney
Foo Fighters (Nov 16, 2002)

Both are old Black Cat. I feel like it's been a while since I've been dazzled, though New Pornographers was really good.

Wow, what a show. Somehow I missed it (though at the time I didn't know P.B.). Saw the Posies at the old Black Cat – loved it, but Jon Auer pissed the shit out of me.

And Sloan as well….I should have been reading this board back then. I've been into Sloan for a couple years, and they've only played 9:30 Club since.

Old:
Spiritualized (Bassist had on a Betty Ford clinic shirt)
The Ex with Tom Cora. They did several albums together that are brilliant, and to see Tom play with them live (he is a cellist) was better than I could have hoped.
Meat Beat Manifesto. For some reason no one was there, very empty, but Jack still kicked out the jams.

New:
The Fall. Sure they had to "revive" Mr. Smith but once he was on he was on.
