I've sold my copy of Loveless. I realised it had always made me feel sick and I wouldn't miss it . I have no plans to sell my copy of - Isn't Anything. That was a gamechanger when it was needed. That's what it felt like at the time. I went to see the band at round about this time wuth a good friend. It was a special experience, not quite like any gig I've been to before or since, You felt like you were in a sea of blissed out noise.I've seen them since. But it's a great and enduring feeling seeing a band at the time when you know they should be seen.
You're right, Bruce, it was a game changer! Although I haven't listened to it (or Loveless) for a long time now... I think I might have seen them around this time, supporting Pixies, but my memory may be deceiving me. Wish I hadn't thrown my old ticket stubs away!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very memorable night when I saw MBV for the first time. I saw Pixies round about the same time and that was incredibly memorable too.
