The Replacements, UC Santa Barbara, 1984. Bob Stinson wore a dress and they closed with the theme from “Green Acres.”

Best arena concert: Black Sabbath, w/ Pantera opening, on the 1999 reunion tour At Continental Airlines Arena, NY

Best club show: Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, opening weekend at the Garage in DC, last month. Laughing Colors, who I hadn’t previously heard of, opened, and made at least one instant fan. Highly reccomend them to anyone in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area.

Metallica, “On The Load Again” Tour, I think. An indoor tour, they blew up the stage after the show… pyros going haywire… guy falling out of the rafters… burn suited dude running around… and the band played on.
