UGH nirvana :cry: everyone i meet who saw nirvana play said it was an experience
what i would do to see that band play :(

anyways

radiohead ( first concert i went to ever)

the cure ( played three hours straight, stood right under the milky glow of rob, then got given a drumstick)

sonic youth ( two weeks prior the show i told my friends i was gonna ask sonics for a jazzmaster cause im broke, anyways show night comes and we got to the front and i was standing under lee and 5th song in lee takes his guitar off and gives it to me and im like holy fuck this shit is happening, BUT he actually wanted me to play it not take it and i played it then was like SUCESSS! and went to run off and lee grabbed the neck and had a tug of war with me and the security guard come left field and judo chopped me and i let go :lol: i think i got a little too caught up in it)

yeah yeah yeahs ( super early days first show they played in aus and its the epic show where karen was shuffling on the stage and wasnt watching and fell off the stage and smashed her head as par seen in the date with the night video of the ambulance, i just remember saying to my girlfriend woah! the fuck is this band man )

Prince ( dont hate me because im beautiful )
