It's definitely not an ideal show but it's still interesting to listen to and a good example of Fugazi problem-solving. The problem-solving happens in interlude 3 so there are 9 songs with interruptions followed by 13 songs with everyone sitting down and few interruptions. They took Bed From the Scraping from the top once everyone was sitting comfortably - everyone except the 'Lone Mosher'.

Since Gunter commented more shows have been released and there is an earlier performance of Version - the night before this in Mississipi Nights, St. Louis.

On another note, make sure to check out Version, since the song is premièred right here...

This show is a frigging drag since the band has to interrupt it every couple of minutes because of some troublesome elements in the audience. Note that Ian does come up with some creative solutions though! And so it goes.. . the story of The Lone Mosher :)

I was at this show. It was my first Fugazi experience and they blew me away. So many great memories of that night. It was a few nights before the Rainbo rollerskating show in Chicago and I was down @ school in Champaign. Someone sold my ticket for the Chicago show, so I got a ticket for Peoria and ditched class to go see Make*Up, not having a strong impression of Fugazi from the records. Turns out, they are great (duh).

Ran into Ian Svenonius after make*Up's set and told him about my ticket getting sold and such. He offered to put me on the list for the rainbo show if I had a ride (which I did), and sure enough, I got into the Chicago show just fine and dandy. Such a nice guy. Didn't need to offer it and I was surprised that he remembered.

Fugazi was incredible. They stopped the show (bed for the scraping) several times because of two idiots and Ian asked everyone to sit down. about 500 people gladly sat on the floor and the two fist-fighting mosh dudes stayed standing, got uncomfortable and left. It was beautiful.

This is the show I think of when I think of Fugazi, even though I've seen them be brilliant maybe seven times after that night.

what a fucking great show.

what a great band.

thanks for that trip down amnesia lane.
