Game Theory w/The Jayhawks 10/19/86 First Avenue w/John Ticket Price: Unknown Nothing. I’ve got nothing here. The Woodentops w/Trip Shakespeare & New Marines11/5/86 First Avenue w/John Ticket Price: $6.00 I don’t recall anything of the open acts, but I did like Trip Shakespeare a lot. I’m pretty sure I saw their first ever show inContinue reading “concert memoirs pt. 18 – game theory, the woodentops, peter murphy & chameleons uk”

concert memoirs pt. 17 – guadalcanal diary, naked raygun & rem
Guadalcanal Diary w/Timbuk 3 9/17/86 First Avenue w/John Ticket Price: Unknown The opening act is, mainly, remembered for their one hit, ‘The Future So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades’. However, they were still an interesting band to watch play live. Just a guy and a gal and a boombox.

concert memoirs pt. 16 – ramones & pete shelley

Souxsie & the Banshees 5/25/86 Orpheum Theatre w/John Ticket Price: $13.75 Here was one of the rare shows not taken in at First Avenue.

It was easier to get a good view of the act and notContinue reading “concert memoirs pt. 15 – souxsie & the banshees, let’s active, the church, the cramps & the screaming blue messiahs”
concert memoirs pt. 14 – husker du & red lorry yellow lorry
Husker Du w/Man-sized Action 3/31/86 First Avenue w/John Ticket Price: $6.00 Here is the fourth time that John and I had seen Husker Du. With the exception of the first time and the last time seeing the band, the shows are all a blur of sonic assault, slam dancing & sweat. I’ve already talked aboutContinue reading “concert memoirs pt. 14 – husker du & red lorry yellow lorry”
