Spirit of the West/Rose Chronicles - War Memorial Gym

This event was put on by the UBC student association in an attempt to reach quorum for some referendum questions. Unfortunately, a huge blizzard hit the city on the day of the show, and even a free concert and free t-shirts could not bring out enough people to vote for the ballot measures.

Wedding Present - Town Pump

Econoline Crush - Pit Pub

MC 900 Ft. Jesus/Consolidated - Commodore Ballroom

Nine Inch Nails/Jim Rose Circus Sideshow - PNE Forum

I finally got to see Nine Inch Nails on the Downward Spiral tour. It was one of the best live shows I've ever attended. I spent the entire time in the mosh pit on the floor of the PNE Forum revelling in the sounds of Trent Reznor and Company. At one point, I remember finding someone's shoe and throwing it back into the crowd. At another point, someone's glowstick broke open and phosphorescent goo covered many distraught moshers. "Hurt" was the highlight for me, as Trent's performance conveyed such a high level of emotion. I stood there entranced, staring at the images displayed on the huge video screen lowered in front of the stage. (These images later showed up in the video for the song.) Pure joy!

The Fall - Starfish Room

I remember that The Fall's big song at the time of this tour was "Free Range."

Another White Male/The Fourth Man - Graceland

I remember being so impressed by the industrial sounds of The Fourth Man, whom I had never heard of, that I bought their CD at this show.

Cracker/Things of Stone and Wood - Commodore Ballroom

Lollapalooza 94 - Cloverdale Exhibition Park

I saw:
Smashing Pumpkins
Beastie Boys
George Clinton
Breeders
Trible Called Quest
Pharcyde
Stereolab (on the small stage)

I remember that Smashing Pumpkins played "Starla" during their encore and no one around me recognized it.

Sister Machine Gun/Course of Empire - Starfish Room

Another White Male - Graceland

Kristin Hersh - Starfish Room

I saw Kristin Hersh at the Starfish Room during her solo tour. Brilliant acoustic music representative of her work outside of the Throwing Muses. Especially interesting were her many anecdotes about her life and her young son.

Afghan Whigs/Redd Kross - Commodore Ballroom

Arts County Fair - Thunderbird Stadium

I saw:
Spirit of the West
and others??

This event was put on to celebrate the end of the UBC school year.

James - Commodore Ballroom

I went with David as his +1 on the guest list. I remember that he had to go up on stage to represent the radio station and introduce James. Great show!
