many times.  Grew up in Western WA.  Lived down town Seattle (4th and Roy st, literally look out the window and look up and you\'re staring at the bottom of the space needle) from 88-91.  I still have hand labeled copies of fecal matter and bleach on maxell blanks purchased from the band.  Best years of my life.

just looked at your profile and realized I have twelve or so years on you...  When I was seeing Cobain and co they were playing in bars and clubs smaller than what the BFast play in now.  I saw shows with under 50 people in them.  Lots of great bands in Seattle around 90.

Kurt had an aura that just pulled you in

Very true.  maybe I was an overly impressionable youth, but I felt like I could take on the world when I was in the same room as Kurt.  I have never met a more magical person.  You could look at him, make eye contact, and feel like you had the most important conversation of your life.  It was a high that would last for weeks.  I was addicted to Kurt as much as I was Nirvana.

If you haven\'t noticed, you\'ve struck a nerve...

speaking of grohl, saw the foos at red rocks in 2008. AWESOME show(s)

wow thats amazing.  what tunes did they play besides ones that were on their albums ?

where in w. mass did you grow up? I missed out on the civic center show by like a year or so.....wish my brother would have took me

I grew up first in Marysville (forty minutes north of the city) and as a young teen moved to Seattle.  About 3200 miles from MA.

It was an awesome time to live in Seattle.  It seems cliche but I correlate it to living in SF in the sixties.  It was just perfect.  The music, culture, people, art...  Everything clicked.  Coffee shops that were also art galleries that hosted concerts at night.  Everything was all ages.  The drugs were cheap.

Watching Nirvana play Moby Dick for the fist time (after a killer Ned\'s Atomic Dustbin opener) was the first time in my life that I said to myself "you are witnessing something special".  I knew immediately that these guys were gonna make it and simultaneously wanted it to happen for them and desperately wanted it to fail so we could keep it all to ourselves.  I would regularly skip school or leave early to find someone to drive to bum-**** nowhere for house parties.  Get high as a kite and watch my favorite bands.  

We went to tons of beach parties in South Seattle (then and still now an uglier, grittier, industrialized area, where we could have beach parties without being shut down by the cops.  Kegs, generator, halogen work lights...  Instant concert.  two bucks for a cup.  four or five hours of music, wake up on a rocky beach.  Good times.

Thanks for asking btw.  I\'m having a hell of a good time thinking about all this.  It\'s been long while since I\'ve gone on a Kurt bender! Giving Bleach a third spin on the turntable right now...  Oh yeah, in all it\'s sub pop, first pressing, vinyl glory!

Nirvana was the band that really kickstarted my "career" as a music fan upon discovery in 5th grade.

When I look back on my musical journey to this moment, it was the single band that set me on a course away from the masses.
