Dirty Rotten Imbeciles
John and I showed up right before DRI played thankfully because there were about 10 bands on the bill and we missed all of them! DRI’s set was weird because they played a lot of later stuff for about 30-45 minutes and the crowd just stared at them besides their drunk roadie, who dance with a bottle of beer in his hand. What a dick. DRI then took a few minutes off and said “This song’s called Snap!” YES! The place erupted and they played a ton of classics finally ending with Nursing Home Blues, which got the place really…

Ensign, The Fire Still Burns, Vision
I do not remember a ton about this show, but as you can from Sam’s photos I am all over this show. The Fire Still Burns were a new band that Nate from Ensign was in with some other people who were in big bands during the nineties. They had a melodic sound, but not really my thing. They seemed to play a lot of shows for awhile. Did Ensign actually play this show? I think they did, but I do not remember anything about them. Vision’s set was pretty subdued because I think a friend of the band had…

97a, Endeavor, Ensign, Floorpunch, In My Eyes, Killing Time, Lilac Ezer, Uniform Choice
I went to this show with CJ I think, but my memory is a little hazy. Floorpunch was supposed to also play this show, but they canceled because Zev was on tour with Endeavor. I know they played a few shows with Little Dave or Zusi on bass, but this one got canceled. Instead, after a few openers, we got a surprise three song set by In My Eyes, which included a Uniform Choice cover. Is there a video? I am probably all over that. 97a played as well. I think their 12″ had just come out. I do not…

Black Marker 88, Ensign, Fists Of Fury, H-Street, Honorable Mention, In My Eyes, Rain On The Parade, Standard Issue, XClaim!
I mentioned in the XClaim! interview that Craig and I were working on the compilation. He mentions a bunch of the Australian bands that would have been on it, but I guess I never really brought out too many of the bands I had been courting. Basically, the idea was to do a split tape of American and Australian, and a few European, bands like an old BCT tape. Some bands like Standard Issue and H Street were giving, at the time, exclusive tracks. In My Eyes, Ensign, and Rain On The Parade were going to give some live tracks,…

By The Grace Of God, Fury Of V, h2o, Hands Tied, Skarhead, Suicidal Tendencies
This show happened in early 1998 I think. I remember Tim announcing it at the By The Grace Of God show in Yardley back in December. I don’t remember a lot about this show other than that h2o were horrible, BUT they covered “I Want More” by Suicidal Tendencies at the end of their set, which got the crowd really going. That is seriously all I remember about this show.

Devo, Husker Du
Beautiful World is, by far, my favorite Devo song. Devo are one of those bands like Husker Du and some others that I never listen to their complete records, but love their music individually.

Brett Beach, David Koenig, Hardware Fanzine
This was the letter that Dave K sent me with a pile of issues of Hardware #8 (?). When this came I was just about to go on vacation and I read the whole thing twice on the way up and then back home again. I got to know Dave K really well around that time and we talked on the phone a few times. We finally met in person in January of 1997 at Fieldsboro. I knew when I saw his Star Trek Deep Space Nine hat that I had a friend for life.

Farside, Fastbreak, Floorpunch, Four One One, In My Eyes, Revelation Records, Saves The Day, Smash Mouth
During the summer of 1999, I did not get out much, a combination of a few creepy internet threats, some pretty severe depression, and work issues, but I ended up heading up to this show and met up with this young lady I was not quite dating, but definitely trying to head in that direction with, at this show. This show was absolutely horrible. I showed up late to this show because I had to stop on campus while heading up to the show. I do not exactly remember why I stopped on campus, but it might have involved dropping…

Hands Tied, Shelter, The Straight Edge
This was the extra page I put out with my Hands Tied interview. I think it still looks pretty cool besides the dumb white background. The interview was done in September of 1997 and came out right after that in the fanzine I was doing at the time. That Shelter show was filmed for a Fox 5 feature on Straight Edge, which there seemed to be endless “special reports” about back at that time.
