I suspect the second night may have been a little better, but still… Now that I think about it, it may have been early 1995. It must’ve been when the Australian Open was on, because Jim Courier apparently jumped-up and played drums with them on “It’s The End Of The World…” (yet another classic we didn’t get the first night…)
Archers Of Loaf. I was just getting into them and they supported Magic Dirt whom I didn’t care for. I skipped the show and later got more and more into them but they never came back and broke up. I saw the singer solo in NY later, which made up for it a little.
Yeah, I missed the boat. I heard Web In Front and Plumbline on RRR and thought it was pretty good, but had no idea how much I’d love Icky Mettle when finally hearing it.
You know, I’m not sure they did… don’t think they came here until 2007 (when I was well past regular gigging). I knew someone in the tour booking industry in the 90’s. She had tipped me off that they had been booked here for a tour in 1993. Only one problem - they broke up and never came… They were my favourite band at the time, and I was devastated…
