I've considered doing a Morning Show about this but I only have 3 hours. It would take me 3 months. So mine was 16 years old, Jane's Addiction with Mary's Danish opening at Eastern Washington University. I remember walking in to "Coming Down the Mountain" and seeing bodies flying in the air, everyone wearing black, just absolute MAYHEM and all I wanted to do was more of this! I stayed out the pit that day and just stood there in awe to be seeing and hearing the music from a band I loved. I was HOOKED. I think they played 30 minutes because Perry was a mess but I didn't know any better and in fact was shocked when I saw a band play longer! Also first show in Seattle? Pixies. Moore Theater.

I saw James for the umpteenth time at the Showbox last week. I got into them in 1990 while studying in Cambridge, England, and went to every California show they did from their first tour in '92 forward. The first one at was probably only my fourth show ever (i was 16) and the first club show I went to. You never forget that first experience. There were only 20 of us there ahead of time, trading favorite songs and buying $3 zine someone had made. Tim Field around like a seizure victim, and the crowd crawled on stage and leading each other's laps and saying during "sit down." My second favorite was seeing The Flaming Lips' soft bulletin tour in 1998. I had no idea what their shows were like and my head was blown clean off. All I can say is I left the show with fake blood in my hair and confetti in my panties. Sarajevo legend Goran Bregovič would be another one and I'm seeing him next year for the fourth time, but that's not really Morning Show fodder.

My partner just found this on her shelf. I must have got it as a donor gift but I have zero memory of it! Anyone else remember this?

Theres a mad shuffle of: Say She She, NoSo, Love is Blindness by U2 (cos i'm watching The Agency), and i just saw the rerelease of Hamilton in the cinema so Helpless, Wait For It, Story of Tonight are all in the mix.
