First concert was probably Soundgarden at Gorilla Gardens in 85, I think their second show. We were lucky we didn't get the [censored] kicked out of us roaming around Jackson and Pioneer Sq back then.

First large concert was George Thoroughgood in Coliseum at Bumbershoot in 86?

Dave Matthews and friends at Key Arena a few years back was a pretty good show.

Small venue/great shows, Nirvana at Community World Theater in 88, Nirvana, Melvins, Dwarves at Motor Sports Intl Garage in Seattle.

Recent: Alice in Chains at the Paramount last year was a good show.

Honorable mention: Tony Bennett at Wash Center for Performing Arts a few years ago.
