May 18, 1991 Chicago, Il -Lounge Ax-


Review by Justin

I’m almost positive there was one more band at that show. I think it was the very first band. I can’t remember their name, but they played 2 or 3 Scratch Acid covers. (NOTE: that was Flipper, Jr.)

For what it’s worth, Albini ran the boards at that show.

It was the loudest show I’ve ever been to. They opened with “Then Comes Dudley”. If you were where I was (right up against the stage) while they were playing that song at that volume and with that intensity, you would know what I know – it was probably the best rock show that ever happened.

I’ve probably been to over 1000 shows, and nearly 15 years later, I can still get shivers if I think about hard enough. Real, goosebump, emotional confusion goosebumps.
