Actually, I'm disappointed to have missed that, though I don't think I could have afforded the asking price if it had come through the NW. From what I've heard, it wasn't bad at all with Glenn Matlock back on bass. I'd certainly have givent them the chance.
When I saw the Wipers, that was ages and ages ago, and I was too high on acid to fully appreciate their set. The U-men kind of blew them away as I remember it, but who can trust an 18 year old on acid's judgement? But of course, I'm glad to have seen the original band. Sage's remake groups haven't seemed worth checking out.
I debated putting Shellac down on my own legend list. They certainly lived up to every ioata of their renown. Melt Banana probably qualify as legends within the noise/grind/and post no-wave circles, so why not. They'd be in my deserved category too, quite good. So were Stereolab come to think of it. And yeah the Melvins have been awesome every time I've seen them, which is a whole lot of times.
Oh, didn't hear about Geezerfest until after it happened, and you're the first to mention Catt Butt played. That would have been fun, but David Duet can't possibly do the kind of PA dives he did twenty years ago! I saw Catt Butt many a time back in the day. I've actually been waiting decades to get to write that sentence too!
