What is really bad I was at that neutral nation show their 270th reunion gig by my count.

I miss seeing shows at Rocky Point from Roger Waters to Janes Addiction.

Yeah, I saw some good shows there. The Chili Peppers before they became horrible, The Pixies when they were in their not-talking-to-each-other phase, and an epic, insanely exhausting 3 1/2 hour Fishbone gig (hey, it was the early 90s...).

It's been years since I've seen Neutral Nation.

yeah I caught that fishbone show also. Yeah the NN show was actually a tribute to the late Randy Hein. But it feels like every six months or so they do a show.

Neutral Nation was great until they started getting funky (a la the dreaded Jungle Dogs...). Their early 7-inch is a classic, though. Maybe I just saw them too many times at URI's Thursday afternoon Coffee Hour in the student union.
