well, the first time i saw them live was at a place in Danbury CT USA called Tuxedo Junction. it was maybe twice the size of my kitchen.I think it was the "Lust For Power" mini-tour, summer 91. I was there with about 8 friends, and there were a few local drunks at the bar. we had painted the T&C knot and the words "Before i Get Old" on a bed sheet and held it up, Justin replied "iz much too late for that one....."- not sure what he meant! but it didn't get played......still we were at the height of rocking out, as was the band. a small group of us had been die hard fans, but at the time, with no internet, information was scarce if available at all, and you can imagine our excitement and anticipation upoun seeing a tiny ad in the local music/arts rag "New Model Army"!
I must digress from there though, and categorically state that there was NO PLACE ANYWHERE LIKE "THE ROCK & ROLL CHURCH"- THE LIMELITE, NYC! the gothic architecture, the awesome NYC vibe, the weird 100 year old bathroom attendant dressed in in a WW1 doughboy uniform with a tray of mints, who would curse you up and down if you didn't tip him, and no end to the freakiness that could be found (chemical, sexual, criminal, quasi-religious, what have you) in the dark corners and catacombs of that place!
(too bad it's a mall inside now)
