    Pink Floyd
    Momentary Lapse tour?
  31. 31
    Saint Vitus
    Tiny venue somewhere in a medium-sized city in North Germany, spring 1992? There were maybe 50 people there, and they played for like, hours, and totally freaked out! Great time!
  32. 32
    Scion
    San Francisco, ? late '90s. They could not get their gear to run and had to just spin records ... and were amazing. Techno turntablism with double copies, dope.
  33. 33
    Soft Opening
    A local favorite. Many great shows.
  34. 34
    Sonic Youth
    Somehow just the once but 3 shows in 2 days, Warfield San Francisco, ? 1992-4
  35. 35
    Surgeon
    Very late a.m., Space Children, San Francisco, very late '90s, 20kW. Perturbed, impatient, epic.
  36. 36
    Swans
    Once, Hamburg, Love of Life tour, spring 1992. Center front, draped over and gripping the edges of the stage monitors.
  37. 37
    Sys-Hex
    Many shows in Asheville, including many original tracks that after having been developed extensively, were performed once.
  38. 38
    Throwing Muses
    Once, summer 1989, Manchester or Liverpool?

    Very attractive show & scene. Was offered jelly babies from the pocket of a trench coat.
  39. 39
    Villages
    Many shows in Asheville. I've gone out-of-body during every Villages set I've seen ... several through the years, always golden.
  40. 40
    Woody McBride
    Space Children, San Francisco, very late '90s, 20kW, epic.
  41. 41
    Yo La Tengo
    Once in San Francisco, American Music Hall, mid to late '90s? only time there actually?

    Arrived late to a sold-out show; danced on the sidewalk; was escorted inside, no charge (no tickets). Great show.
  42. 42
    Zero (45)
    Multiple times in Oakland, especially '92-'93, once further North (Southern Humboldt?) on a river. I suffered the songs to get the jams ... but Kimock is a star, and it was worth suffering (most of) their songs to get to listen to him capitalize on the jam setting.

    The best show musically was in Oakland with Kaiser as guest ... they started with an unchallenging Zero song and Henry seemed a little frustrated. He repeatedly threw out some wild lick with looks at the band ... after several of these the band abandoned its song, leaping into space and holding it furiously out for the rest of the set.
