RE: If you could see a live performance by any musician/band that ever existed...who would you see?
Around 1993 I saw Nirvana at a small college concert at SUNY Buffalo. I believe they were touring for In Utero. Everyone in the audience was wasted, and everyone on stage was wasted. Through my mind's eye I see everything as a hazy blur, although I clearly remember that god-awful angel statue and Kurt smashing a guitar to shit. It was an amazing experience and I realize how lucky I was to see them. You talk about riding in the car at 12 listening to teen spirit. I was in high school at the time that came out, in Queens, NY. Most of the people I knew were into bullsh*t pop music, but I would cruise the blvd with my buddy late at night with that album blasting out the window of my '79 olds cutlass supreme. That album remains the soundtrack of my high school experience. I remember being in the computer lab at college when the news of Kurt's death came out. I was devastated. To this day I believe Courtney paid to have him murdered. I would love to see them again. Thanks for stirring up the old memories.
Kurt said that they bought the cheapest gear because they knew it wasn't going to last long. And I'm a bit jealous you got to see them!
