No but I did see the Pistols on their "reunion" tour. Very weird gig only noticeable for the number of psychos who all crawled out from under their various rocks. VERY happy to sit in the balcony for that one!

Yes. I also saw them back in the 90's. I think New Order and the Sugarcubes played with them, but my memory is foggy. So I guess it wasn't that good of a show if I don't remember. OR I had such a good time, fell down, hit my head......and don't remember. Yeah, I'll go with the latter.

WOW!! That is some lineup. Some favorite non U2 shows:

Juliana Hatfield, Fletchers in Baltimore 97, she played for 3 hours.

Archers of Loaf, Nick's Upstairs in Philly, think it was 94-95. It probably wasn't their best show and I'd seen them a dozen times before they called it quits, but that was my first time seeing them.

Radiohead, Electric Factory in Philly 97

Lou Barlow, North Star in Philly 01, Had dinner and beers with Lou at this show. An experience I hope I'll never forget.

Arcade Fire, First Unitarian Church, Philly 04 WOW!! is about all I can say. It felt like a celebration.

You are completely right! I forgot the other bands!

New Order where great and the Sugarcubes (With Bjork!).....she is an incredible performer.....

karinlv · 07-15-2005, 12:53 AM

There's not too many shows I've walked away from that I didn't enjoy (except for No Doubt @ Rain in the Palms) That venue is

Among the favorites, though

Metallica Hard Rock LV New Year's '02? Or was it '03?

Every Rush show I've ever been to
Tori Amos Hard Rock 2003 I got to hear Spacedog :woohoo:
U2 PopMart '97 & Elevation '01
and I had a really good time @ Avril Lavigne's show last year. Took the little ones and they loved it. Now they believe me when I say "they always sound better live"
