Talk about spectacular introductions. This show: 1992-12-31: the academy, was my first PJ concert, and probably my 2nd concert ever. There\'s only been a few that have come close to the power that was display that night.
Sure, there were gems like Dirty Frank and Sonic Reducer, and a Daughter that they had only played once before live. But the Wash that opens this show knocked everyone on their asses. I\'ve never heard them perform it this way again (a real shame).
Eddie had been wearing a ski hat for most of the night, that kept falling off. I believe during Porch, he grabbed a roll of duct tape off the drum risers and taped the hat to his head w/ like 18 feet of tape. I guess he really wanted that hat on.
I\'ve been clutching a horrible tape... worst sound quality imaginable of this show for the last 5 years.
I can\'t tell you how excited I am to get this... the new album will be listened to after I get through the academy show.
