It was an extra special treat to see the Throwing Muses at the Whisky in 1997. It was the last show of the tour and right at the beginning Kristin Hersh said, "We're taking requests tonight, but it's got to be a Muses song, we've got to know how to play it, and it can't suck." Even though I was dead tired (I had flown back to San Diego from Stanford that morning), I don't regret making the drive up to Hollywood for this show. I thoroughly enjoyed all 2+ hours of this mostly-acoustic Throwing Muses retrospective. The band broke up shortly afterwards because Kristin wanted to concentrate on her solo work, so this was probably the last time I'll ever see the Muses.
(actually, I've seen the Muses many more times as Kristin has continued on and off with the Muses over the years)

I thought I saw Cameron Diaz in the crowd, but who knows if that was really her?
