saw No Doubt play at University of Houston in 1993-94, hell maybe 92-93., a lunch set at the UC Sattelite (like a student union thing) , helped set up the PA and the soundboard (I was in student prgram board) and sat and klaughed as a chick in a well worn green cheerleader outfit proceeded to try and rock out a gropu of about 80 university students trying to eat their lunch. it sucked. she was very aloof, but her bandmates were nice and we helped them set up their shit and take down their shit.

The ultimate show off thread.

Now if the title of the thread was 'name all the bands you've seen that you can remember from t-shirts or ticket stubs in eyeshot' I could say: Melt Banana The Fall Elastica Blur Glastonbury festival a few times. I can also see a ticket stub for a quartet doing Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht, but I can't remember who that was and the quartet name has rubbed itself out. I also, apparently, saw the Revenger's Tragedy at the Olivier theatre, which I don't remember at all. Enlightening thread is enlightening.

The one I feel most happy about today: Kraftwerk
I saw Massive Attack for the first time last week, and they were the last on the list of 'band I have to see'. I can die a happy man. |

If you can list them all, you are either a zygote or you live in a desert on top of a mountain in the middle of the ocean.

Wrong. I have (1) a rather good memory, and (2) some lists I've kept. My initial post in this thread was off the top of my head. But I would never be able to remember all of the local and regional bands--or at least how many times I've seen them. |

Sometimes I find myself unable to remember whether I saw such and such a band or not. For example I can't remember if I saw Arab Strap play at the Union Chapel in London circa the year 2000, or if I'm imagining it. I remember I saw The Ex in 2003 or 2004, but I think I might have seen them another time, but I can't remember. Etc.
I sort of wish I'd kept a list of all the shows I've been to, mainly because I'd like to reread it and be surprised to learn I saw this or that band, or to look at it and have no idea of who this or that band even were. Also I'd like to remember all the uniquely terrible opening acts that would for short periods become as legendary among me and friends as any of the best performances we saw. Such remorseless turds as Gay Against You, Lely White, Seymour Wright, Wolves of Greece, David Toop, Whole Voyald Infinite Light, Yasunao Tone, etc. However these shows slip my memory after some time. |

I have the same problem. I am not even going to try to make a list because I forget how many times I saw bands, I forget who opened, when, where, etc. because I've seen so many shows and the memories just jumble together. |
