Lou always said Boston was their favorite city to perform in, NY never gave them the respect they deserved... Boston was "smart enuff" to know their genius. That's why NY became the disco mecca a few years later... And Boston went on to birth many of the greatest bands the world has ever seen seen
I was at every show they did at the Tea Party. Some of the best moments of my life. Did they realize at the time what an impact they were having? They helped define my life. I was a junior in high school and I did not fit in at my school but at the Tea Party with them playing I was as alive as any person on the planet.
Heroine is not great. It's death. I think, 50% of my dearest friends died from it, during the 80/90s. They are still missed after all these years. Reed was an unique personage translating the rush into words. Rest in peace, my friends.
I'm not usually a fan of live recorded shows, but I would totally buy this as an album. What a great show. Thanks for posting. The Pixies even make more sense now.
Sterling's guitar work is phenomenal. Love the story about how they sold so few albums, but the thousands that did buy, all started their own band. There's truth to that.
Wow. I was there. I swapped bass picks with Les after this set. After the main set Les said my plectrum was too floppy for his taste. He used my pick then got the band to sign some band pictures- me and my pal were only just 17 - went home feeling amazing-!thanks for sharing
One of the biggest, if not THE biggest songs of the 80's, and the single that broke them into the US. Back in such a creative time for music. Also comment on the guitar playing of Andy Gill - very unique and creative, and influential to many other bands like RHCP. RIP Mr. Gill
