Fugazi 04/17/1993 - Norman, Oklahoma @ Hollywood Theater

[@afferbeclauder]

these days everyone has a smart phone and can shoot video with one finger...so i just want to say thankyou to whomever took the time in Ok back in 1993 to set up a videocamera and record a great show for posterity.

I know I the guy who did it. It was them damn Sweaten boys from Edmond Oklahoma. Casey was a mixer for Bell Labs (The flaming lips, Chainsaw kittens, the Nixons, and all things Norman) and his Dad was an old school music bootlegger. I have this and about a dozen other shows they shot on a few vhs tapes.

Can't believe this exists! I was at this show, and it was so great. The opening band was called Season to Risk if I remember correctly. Norman/OKC was so incredible at this time watching The Flaming Lips, Chainsaw Kittens, etc. Sadly, I visited Norman recently and the Hollywood Theater is no longer there after spending a couple of decades as the OU Law Library Extension it no longer stands..in high school and college I ventured there a few times to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Watched many shows at Rome and remember an incredible Lips show at the American Legion. Good Times. Thank You Thank You Thank You for uploading this!

Season To Risk was a good fng band, too! From Kansas City if I'm not mistaken.... saw them twice back in "those days." I'm from Dallas/Denton Tx area and Loves dafuque outta tha Chainsaw Kittens! But good gawd almighty two thumbs up for tha mighty Fugazi!!! ❤

Odd, too me though, the way camera is set up you can't see the audience.... oddly "prophetic" for these f'd off COVID times when we can only see our faves via livestream shows from their homes, etc. You expect to see arms flailing the pit a' wailing.... even though both times I saw Fugazi Guy adminished the crowd for moshing.... my personal first times thinkin' "Shut up and play yer geetar...." lol

@@yeldarbarrow3172 it was a strange place to see a show like that. It was a literal theater with a short apron which meant permanent bolted in seating in most of the building, and the stage they slapped up was SUPER rickety. He was probably freaked out that it was going to collapse and kill somebody if the pit got too "unruly" lol.

@@yeldarbarrow3172 As Brent mentioned, there was no moshing on the stage (it would have collapsed) or in front of the stage (no room). Instead, people moshed in the aisles of the theater. It was a very strange place for a concert, but at least i didn't have to worry about getting shoved out of my spot since I was in the middle of a aisle.

Brother, fuck yes it was!!! I was 17 years old about 14 rows back high for the very first time in my life my senior year of high school and I had seen this band at the armory in Edmond about a year and a half earlier. Fugazi was an experience. It was season to risk who opened. The only reason this show was there was because Rome wasn’t big enough for this show. But, I must have seen a hundred shows in Norman. Daryl Baskem was a hell of a show producer.

[@afferbeclauder]
