Weird to imagine Dave being a Hüskers fanboi of my own generation, pre Nirvana and well pre Foos, getting onstage with a hero. Bob don't look right with a Strat though, I can only ever see him with his Ibanez V
Nice work Bob. I first saw Cheap Trick in 1978 at the Leroy theater, Pawtucket, R.I. They opened for Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow, with Ronnie James Dio at the mic. I was tearing apart the guitar parts on the Heaven Tonight album at that time. Best wishes for you.
Sure does bring back memories. I was 16 working at the National Record Mart in the Shenango Valley mall, making weekly payments on a 1974 fender P bass I had in layaway and no idea how to play it. But I was sure I could learn and these guys influenced the heck out me. Bob still has his voice and chops. Oh how I yearn for teenage angst.

True about the chords! A few pals and I learned this song a decade ago to play at a punk night, and it's got several twisty core transitions between parts. Certainly not your E-C#m-A-B song.
What I loved about Husker Du...besides the name which I thought was super cool....was the fact that they were kinda hardcore and melodic as well...there was hardly any bands that could blend both of those types sounds together and still sound awesome...but Husker Du was the best at it...I wish I had had the chance to see them live.
Same. It’s a song that’s not about anything fun, but there’s a sheer joy in the cathartic release of energy and artistry. It’s what some music can do that is difficult to get anywhere else.
I opened an old box of letters. One said I love you and I want my Workbook back. We had hundreds of things together and all she wanted was Workbook. Love you Bob!
we just saw you in ostende yesterdays just thanks you you given everything a real sunny night take care have a nice tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
