It was a great show.

'Jeez, even with the great spot, I still can't see Karl Hyde. Figures I'd get stuck behind Heisenberg over here.'

Underworld is great, I'm jealous. What were your thoughts on their 2016 album, 'Barbara Barbara We Face A Shining Future'? I thought that was their best in years, at the time. "If Rah" is such a friggin jam.

First Concert I think was Weird Al.

My best concert would be seeing the Manic Street Preachers perform the entirety of The Holy Bible in Boston on the 20th anniversary tour. They rarely come to the US these days and they just performed each song expertly. It was a helluva experience.

Nice!

I've seen "Weird Al" several time, and brought the Squeeze Box to his last show to try to get it signed. (For those not in-the-know, the Squeeze Box is a scale replica of Al's accordion filled with newly-remastered vinyl pressings of his entire 40-year catalog.) Here's a shot of my copy:

Barbara Barbara is a phenomenal work - one I revisit more often than most of UW's releases. It always feels fresh and accessible.

I'm curious whether you'd seen any of my UW posts to my member journal, like perhaps this summary of my digital and physical UW collections?

Damn, old man Cantrell is still slaying huh? I saw him in 1998. He was solid.

I've been listening to Weird Al since around 1995 and I never got to see him until last year, I had a blast at the show.

My first concert was Britney Spears in 1999.
