"Well it was 20 years ago today..." This was my first real concert: INXS, Iggy Pop, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Stereo MCs, Belly, Matthew Sweet, The Posies, X and Velocity Girl at RFK Stadium in DC on July 3, 1993. I wore my Morrissey "Your Arsenal" t-shirt and had an unforgettable time!

It was 1993, HFStival @ RFK in DC, they opened the main stage. HFS always had a local band open the main stage. This was the first year @ RFK and probably the best concert I ever went to. INXS, Iggy Pop, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Stereo MCs, Belly, Matthew Sweet, The Posies, X, Velocity Girl, it just seemed everyband was at their best that day. Thanks to the uploader, this was a great day!

They were for those of us who cared back then, and still do. Sad that I never did get to see them live, but that applies to practically every other band that I've ever dug. I was one of those people that spent too much time and money buying and listening to recordings, instead. I'm hopeful that their recent reunion/reformation is sustained for a while, and maybe they make their way out west. 🙏
