My first concert was Stray Cats at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans on February 3, 1983. I wore an oversized tuxedo t-shirt and a wide belt.
What was your first concert?
Sonic Youth “Kool Thing” video featured on 120 Minutes, 1990
This song was apparently inspired by misogynistic LL Cool J raps. But then Chuck D comes in to make everything right.
Lou Barlow and Bob Mould “Magnet’s Coil” live acoustic on 120 Minutes, 1994
Dinosaur Jr. “Little Fury Things” video featured on 120 Minutes, 1988

"
I was last in line
For the one true vine
Endless winding prayer
I was dead at first
I had done my worst
And you came to me
Life had ceased
I was lost and tired
You set me free
From this mighty, mighty fire
Just in time to be
My one true vine
You still come to me
And you comfort me
The only one that I believe
I trust you
I hope that someday you will
Trust me too
I wanna be what you are to me
Life had ceased
I was lost and tired
You set me free from
This mighty, mighty fire
Just in time to be
My one true vine

The thing I love most is that I know you feel the same way about me.
Pavement “Painted Soldiers” video featured on 120 Minutes, 1995
From the Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy soundtrack. Also look for a cameo from Veruca Salt at the end.
