      They all get weekly play on CD, and I haven't got bored yet. Been listening to all of them since years of release.

          Great shit; Lucero just dropped a new one this week, great live band! Fugazi was absolutely formative for me. Their shows were so great. I really loved their label in general, lots of great bands on Dischord.

          Think it, be it.

            While we're on the topic of Dischord - Glen E. Friedman is putting put a new book on Minor Threat, I'm really looking forward to that!

                Lucero live used to be an amazing experience, the last few times I seen them was not so great. and the last few albums just don't speak to me.
                But that's life.
                I got lucky and saw Fugazi at there last show in toronto back in like 99ish? Great show and Grade opened for that.

                  Last Lucero I saw was in Minneapolis at the Triple Rock in 2008. Rowdy crowd and they had them in the palm of their hand. I haven’t listened to them much since then but it was a terrific show.

                  I got to see Fugazi twice up close and personal, 1993, when my friend interviewed Ian before the show while I was in high school:

                  And again in 1996:

                        @mclaincausey @natehate The "real" show I ever attended was Fugazi in Milwaukee in 93'. Before that it was just local punk rock bands.

                        I just turned 15 and unwisely "borrowed" my parents car, filled it with friends and saw Fugazi and Lungfish. It truly changed the course of who I was to become. That sounds a bit cheesy, but it is true. I had the fortune of seeing Fugazi a few other times, but nothing ever compared to that first one.

                        Lucero- I have probably seen Lucero more than any other band. They used to headline or open for what seemed to be every band that I wanted to see throught the early 2000's. I grew to love them. There last time they were at Red Rocks was my welcome back to music from the covid restrictions. It was special, as I forgot how powerful live music was for my soul after going without for sooo long. But it is true, they aren't nearly as rowdy as they were. Grown ups....pfft..

                        I should probably rank my Top 5 shows at some point. That first Fugazi show would have to be in there, but that is a tough other 4.....

                          I can totally relate to that. Started around the same time and age, and it never really went away.

                                    So difficult to pin this down to 5. Like most people, if I got asked this question next week I would have a completely different set of answers:

                                    • Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison.
                                    • Bob Dylan - Desire.
                                    • David Bowie - Hunky Dory.
                                    • Jason Isbell - Live from Alabama.
                                    • Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here.

                                    There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.
