The first show / concert I ever saw was friends’ band in a backyard in Bridgeport, West Virginia some time around 1994. It was the start of many years of being very involved in live music in many ways. I’ve been to a lot of shows over the past couple decades, but only a few of them were documented. I’ve managed, though, to find at least five shows I attended and enjoyed that I’ve found video of on YouTube. Photograph of Fugazi (Pittsburgh, 2001) by me.

Wait until you are my age and look back on those concerts. Do as much as you can while you are young Mike. You don’t want to look back with regrets. Now should not be a time that you have to worry about money. Money is something you worry about when you’re getting ready to retire and neither one of us are ready to retire. ________________________________
