I think I saw them with Let's Active. Brain fuzzy. sooo long ago.
Husker Du playing at an Elk's Club in Philly (in '85/'86?) was one of my other best shows. I saw Bob Mould recently here in baltimore and I told him that and he said someone else had come up to him that night and said they were at that same show.
(I also told him about how they helped me survive high school and how i quoted "Chartered Trip Away" in my yearbook and how he looked fantastic and how I do pilates now... I was xtra babble-icious fangirl!)
I bet Bob dug that.
He did, I think. He was a little bemused but nice.

this is where I saw Husker Du way way back inna day:
Elks love punk rock
funny the stuff you can find on the internet. what i really want now is a list of all the bands that opened for REM on their various tours so I can jog my feeble brain.
Heh. I know that thirdave guy (from lisah's poster link). He used to go see The Pee Wee Fist all the time.
Did you know Stamey toured with Alex Chilton for a year?
Doesn't surprise me -- I've got that "Summer Sun" 7" (one of the best opening sound effects ever).
The Bible of Bop (Kimberly Rew backed by Softboys, dBs and Waves).
"Stomping All Over the World" -- One of the great forgotten powerpop tunes.
Happy Birthday bicyclops! I did'nt realize you were quoting the Beatles and meaning it all literally. We also share a birthday with Kurt Cobain, Patty Hearst, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Robert Altman.
t Looking at the poster
I saw Husker Du and Soul Asylum on that same tour. They did a pair of shows at the Paradise in Boston. It was those shows that made me realize, gee, I really ought to get earplugs. I remember not being able to hear anything well into the next day (I was on the radio the early the next morning and only got a few hours of sleep).
Trifecta!
Also, Hec, you know that the Decemberists are at the Great American Music Hall next Saturday (2/28)?

I did not! I may be all night finishing the book on that date, however.
But it's a leap year! It's like the end of Daylight Savings but you get a whole extra day!
