Good to know, I'm seeing them in San Francisco next month, they're playing when I'm gonna be out there visiting friends. I'm excited for it, but I only know 'Born Slippy', so I need to check out more of their stuff.

Boy kind of drags in the middle, but it's definitely worth a listen, to hear U2 before they were stadium-conquering giants. 'The Electric Co.' is great.

I saw them in a club a few years ago touring for Do to the Beast. They were better than I had expected, the encore of Somethin' Hot -> Going to Town -> Faded (with a snippet of Bobby Womack's 'Across 110th Street') was terrific.

I was just thinking about that song not too long ago. It got radio play for a minute when it first came out. "I'm the first person/You're the second person/Earlier today I was in the third person…"

I saw Flogging Molly in the rain at the Austin City Limits fest in '09 - that was a lot of fun, certainly one of the highlights of that dreary day.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread title. My parents used to play both Bat Out of Hell albums in the car whenever we'd go out of town. I still like the first Bat, but the 2nd one…..not so much. Though 'Everything Louder' and 'Out of the Frying Pan' are still pretty good.

'Please' is a great song too.

Yeah, it was pretty cool. The giant mirrorball lemon was neat. It was my first time seeing U2 as well. I got the t-shirt as well, I think it's in a box somewhere. :)

I saw Iggy last summer for the first time. Even in his 60's, the dude is still a charismatic live performer.

I discovered the song 'Butt Town', thanks to Beavis and Butt-head seeing the video.

I have not. That is interesting. Looking at the tracklist, I already have most of those songs.

I'm driving to Chicago at the end of the month to see Shellac. I've never seen them before and have wanted to see them for a while. Since they only play sporadically (I don't even know if they've ever played Missouri), I'm making the 7 hour drive. Mono is also playing, I don't know anything by them though.

I read an interview with the guys from R.E.M. around the time Reveal came out, and that Mike Mills had met Gibby and Gibby was telling him all this stuff around R.E.M. that Mike didn't even know.

It still blows my mind that Gibby was a college graduate before the Butthole Surfers.

I was a bit disappointed that the book didn't interview Calvin Johnson. Maybe he declined or something.

They've actually never played the fest.

One of the things about this show that still makes me laugh are the extreme expressions on the characters' faces when they're angry and/or freaking out. Like George Liquor in 'Dog Show' before he rips his shirt off, or Ren in 'Stimpy's Invention' when he's got the "Happy Helmet" on.

I like how at the end of Strawberry Fields, there's all that weird stuff, and John says, "cranberry sauce", and some people thought he was saying, "I buried Paul."

I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 the weekend it came out. I live in Missouri, and at the point in the film where Moore says John Ashcroft lost to a dead man (Mel Carnahan), the theater erupted with applause.

I also love how it just ends, right there. I think on the commentary or on one of the DVD featurettes there was talk of the ending being her giving birth to a butterfly baby. I was like, "what the fuck?!"
