I do, I do!!!
I saw Bob Mould (lead guitarist for the highly influential band, Hüsker Dü) perform for the first time way back in the Fall of 1996. He played a surprisingly electrifying acoustic solo set at my alma matter, RIT. I went with my (at the time) boyfriend's best friend — who ran into Bob Mould the following day at a Jiffy Lube in Syracuse, NY.
The second time I saw Bob Mould perform was this past Wednesday evening, when he played an electrifying electric set at the Great American Music Hall. First of all, awesome venue to see a show... and secondly, holy Fender it was amazing! The band played a lot of my favorites, mostly from his Sugar days (his band from the 90's that I'm a huge fan of). The show was loud, and it got even louder during the 2 encores that followed. My ears are still ringing but IT WAS SO WORTH IT.
Per the artist's request, I couldn't get a picture, but I did find a video on youtube of the "band" playing a song off their much loved by me album, Copper Blue.

NPW: Awesome, another thing in common! If memory serves me right, I think Chris was also at that acoustic show I saw yeeeears ago. I highly recommend seeing him if he stops your way!

Random! He was playing at a bar/club in Portland last night and I was there. Didn't get to here him play though. Totally sold out...

M: Neat! I should have assumed that Portland would be his next stop. Too bad you couldn't hear just a little bit (which is quiet surprising considering how loud the show was!)
