God-tier live performances

yeah you havent lived until Ian's waved a $5 bill around in the air and told you to get out because you were dancing

Is he really such a curmudgeon

>>70032754
yeah he really did that at the Dallas Bomb Factory on the pre-release In On the Killtaker show

or it could've been Red Medicine. I saw them there both times as I recall.

Say what you want about Fleetwood Mac, but this performance is hauntingly good.

yep it was the pre-release show for In On the Killtaker

“Is this some bizarre ritual?”, Ian asks by way of introduction and before even having played a single note. "Has it gotten to the point now where we don’t even need to have music anymore for people to become beach balls? You know I think that leads us to one… Wait, man. What have I done? I have done nothing yet. I’m an asshole? Do you want your money back? Get the fuck out of here. You don’t come in here and call me an asshole.“ The tone is set.
After some more verbal pleasantries, the band eventually launches into the set at full tilt and manages to get only 3 songs in before the shoe incident, after which Ian decides on the only sensible thing to do. A 5 dollar bill serves as a full refund as Ian personally singles out and escorts an obstinate knucklehead to the door.

I dunno I guess I was wrong about why he did it though. Thats not how I remember it but I was standing toward the back.

Fugazi are gods at live performances

"I remember this show too! Blue 5 dollar tickets, hot as hell, shoe-dude. They played 'Kill taker' songs before the album had come out, so they were pushing a little newer and weirder sound without the benefit of a primed audience. This was also before Bedhead became a national act, and it was one of their first big shows. I remember thinking 'WTF?? These guys aren't hard!" , only to be taken in by their wall of sound. Looking back I appreciate how much Fugazi and co supported and pushed new acts like this. They were constantly pushing to recognize the bigger picture, while taking up only a humble corner of it."

fucking hilarious. I was just about to post this saying how weird it was to hear someone talk about this then right before I did I saw the name and it was someone I knew in highschool. Freaky
