Hi there. I have been editing the Camper Van Beethoven setlists. For the one below, I listened to the link you provided. It's a valid link for that show, but the songs you entered don't match the songs on the video you linked. Do you have another source for the 3 songs you entered?

You've been here for 10 years and you're still making edits without a source link? I reverted all your Ramones edits.

Actually I saw cop shoot cop, and the Jesus lizard twice, all 3 upstairs at the middle east sitting a few feet from the bands...I don't have setlists but there are datebook planners and a collection of flyers at my studio space down the street, I'll dig them out to jog my memory because although I didn't see anywhere near as much as you, we went a few times a month between like 85 and 91 or 2

Thanks for your comment, I'm a newcomer trying to remember as many shows as possible, I have a long way to go yet.
I dated a couple of gal pals (not at the same time lol) who went to high school in Manchester, graduated in 87 or 88, like 3 years after I did here in New Bedford MA, and they knew him from up there, but I never saw his band(s) perform, just that LS show that you remember better than I do no doubt, it seemed like there wasn't much of a crowd at least.... but I'll never forget Thalia standing up to his nonsense and taunting him over the pa, "GG...GG..."
Maybe you can remember this one, I know there was a small club on Mass Ave in Cambridge near central square I believe, it wasn't open long, and the inside had sections of chain link fence bolted to the walls, and murals inspired by BLADE RUNNER, THE CROW and DARK CITY, also the MR.X series from Vortex comics, the whole METROPOLIS look, but the only band I'm positive I saw there was Controlled Bleeding and yes they busted out the power tools and showered us with sparks... maybe 91? I moved to the Bay area on the west coast just after Kurt passed, so I never saw a show downstairs at the middle east, the cellar wasn't open yet... also it's not any of the usual suspects like man ray or it's, I remembered negativland played the western front as part of the knitting factory exchange, and the bat cave east in the south end at doc's place on Thursday nights I think, but can't seem to recall this little club I definitely saw several shows at during that era.
Thanks for your patience lol, and any input you can give is much appreciated.

Thanks again for the CSC info. That Rat show was ridiculous! Probably my first Boston area show and only time visiting that legendary venue. Good times!!

Thanks for the kind words. I thought the same thing when I glanced over your list. This guy has good taste! The Rifles... it's a long story, but the short version is they're one of the greatest live bands I've ever seen and in 87 I wasted no opportunities!! I was friends with the band but had no role like merch guy. What you immediately picked up on is that the 32 cr shows is crazy because opportunities are so limited. Since no one else cares lol I'll share these two great experiences with you.
1. The day after the ann arbor show in the early afternoon in an empty club with chairs upside down on the tables I saw a stunning jam with Kent Dave and Paul with Gary Rasmussen from SRB. Was unreal.
2. The Vassar college show I was allowed to write the setlist. They showed me a ledger with about 120 covers they knew. I had them do beach boys and roxy music covers. Wish fulfilment.

Quick question: as far as you know did cop shoot cop play the NYC Iggy date? Or was that someone else too??

Cheers!

Wow, you really blew my mind with the cop shoot cop info!! Thanks so much for the correction!! Cheers...

Looking forward to seeing those updates on both The Rat and the Channel! Its good to see some of us old "soldiers" from college radio and gig promoting in the 1980's turning our diaries and memorabilia into information for the site. Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help with things on the site.

Thanks for the story about Charlie Pickett. I love things like that! He is a pretty nice guy, I was friends with his guitarist, the late Johnny Salton.

Awesome, thanks for the cool info!

Hi jkovitch, are you sure "Powerline" was played in 1983? Thanks.
