1993 - Nirvana - The Forum

Went with Bianca, Ron and Shawn.
Opening bands, Chokebore and The Butthole Surfers.
MC for the show was Bobcat Goldthwaite.

We parked next to the ramp that leads under the Forum and saw the tour buses. We called out for and waved at Courtney and Kurt as they walked into the Forum. I remember it being a good show. They sounded very good. I liked looking at the ununsal In Utero set items they had. We had Colonnade seats but I remember them being at the side so there wasn't a huge distance to the stage so we could see really well. I know Bianca has some stories to add to this one!

1991 – Morrissey - Forum

1991 06.02 Morrissey Forum
Opening band Phranc, ok Bianca and Cathy go for it! 
We went as a group with some friends from our neighborhood. 
It was an adventure and I learned to go to shows with people I trust.  Cathy, Shawn and Bianca were there with me.   It was a great show. 
I like Morrissey.  Forget all the drama surrounding him, he is an entertainer.   Swinging the microphone cord, flowers being thrown on stage, fans jumping up onstage to touch him, singing along with all the songs.  I had a good time.

1988- Sting - The Forum

This show was like a relaxing evening.  You know all the songs and leave happy.
   

1987 - Echo and The Bunnymen - The Forum


This show also had New Order and Gene Loves Jezebel.  This was a fantastic show.
We had floor seats which I don't normally like but, we were on a riser so I could see
over everyones heads!   I remember this tour had the bands rotate headlining.  So you
didn't know who was going to open the concert and who would end the show.
