So, back in 1991 as a senior in HS we would go to Chicago on the WKNDs to go skate, buy music, and see bands that we liked play live. In this case I did not do the latter.
Shucks, soemtimes we would go on a whim in the middle of the week if we had nothing better to do. Back then gas was only maybe $1.00/gal.
I think it was prolly 89¢ - 99¢
I remember going to Reckless Records on Broadway and buying music and upon leaving saw a stack of these in the front window. Now, I had all intentions of going to this show because ever since Speed Freaks
came out in 1989 I had been obsessed with the fIREHOSE
sound.
The way Windmilling
just makes you wanna cruz around on your board having the best time of your life, how Some Things
, For the Singer of REM
, Anti-Misogyny Maneuver
and Riddle of the Eighties
make you wanna take a ride in your car on a summer dei with all the windows down with no destination in mind, how What Gets Heard
make you think of Danny Way
's part, and Mike Watt
's bass solo on From One Cums One
is just awesome.
I hung these fliers all over mai High School and I only have this one left in mai collection. I never made it to the show, but I bet it was pretty fucking amazing.
As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Tien An Man Dream Again
(respectively and respectfully)
