Saw Bob Mould play at my college in the late 80s might have been 1990. Small venue, maybe 2-300 people in the room. How he managed to produce SO MUCH sound was mind-blowing. The venue had a lot of floor to ceiling glass windows and they nearly vibrated right out of the frames. I'm shocked to this day that the windows didn't simply shatter to pieces.

One of the most exciting performers I have ever seen live. Just from the gut. No posing or choreography. Hüsker Dü and Soul Asylum shaped my taste for originality in my music tastes. Bob plays from his heart, and it is inspiring and captivating. No one in the entire world sounds like Bob Mould, and Hüsker Dü was exceptional

I appreciated all these cozy and wild concerts, when maybe 700 people filled the whole room. It felt intense and at the same time releasing to share my little space with these people, being so close to the music and the people that played it.

I interviewed him for the 2nd time recently, the guy is amazing. His new album is as dark and intense as "Black Sheets", then he put out a mondo huge 19 CD collection of his solo work. If you want to die listening to some of the best guitar work, hey man, I suggest you get that. When I said "Man, it's just intense and loud, like Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music"" Bob said "Try sticking your head in the middle of it sometime". Classic Bob.

I saw him play a solo show at Liberty Lunch in Austin back in the mid 90s. He was playing Brasilia Crossed with Trenton on a 12 string acoustic and he broke a couple of strings. He kept singing acapella while he reached over and grabbed his six string electric and finished the song that way. It's stuck with me for 30 years, such an amazing performer and song writer.
