@ fish - what was that butthole surfers show like? i've heard some strange things about them live

I saw them in a large arena and I was far back from the stage so I didn't get a good look at everything that was going on

from what I remember it was pretty standard set with no theatrics, Pepper was the popular song then so everyone loved it

Poe and Beck were more memorable for me

shit, I forgot Corrosion of Conformity.

oh yeah they played with Metallica when I saw them

 

I think Pigface was the best live performance I've seen

they had a contortionist, a knife swallower and a whore

im gay, i only really ever went to small local shows.

any shows in particular you recall as being exceptional stage performance wise?

then I saw them a dude hammered a nail into his face, some guy sewed his lips shut and they surfed an inflatable raft over the audience. They also played 2 versions of "Suck", one all tripped out with sitars and shit and one all rocked out like the NIN version.

ya I got to meet the guys after the show and I told Martin "I'm glad you played suck" to which he replied "it was a good night for suck"

i don't feel like thinking too hard right now so here are a few memorable ones:

 

-casino versus japan in NYC

-tycho in NYC

-black moth super rainbow in Boston

-ulver in NYC (dj set/shadows release party)

-opeth in Buffalo once and Rochester twice

-medeski martin & wood w/ dj logic in Rochester

-deftones somewhere in western ny - everyone was pushing so hard for the front that the entire front half of the crowd fell down in the middle of the show

-shigeto in NYC

-TV on the radio in Syracuse and Buffalo

-Snoop Dogg in Syracuse

-Wu Tang in Philly

-a bunch of others that i probably got dragged to
