I'm writing a piece on those great punk years, and trying to remember when X played the same venue, Ackerman Grand Ballroom, I think in '81. If you know, can you post here? I'm running out of leads!

My girlfriend Sheila, my college roommate Brad and I drove up from Orange County to attend the show. We were three preppy looking kids in a sea of punks and felt a little out of place, but it was a great show. We got there early and staked out a spot front and center of the stage. We managed to stay in that spot through SWA, Saccharine Trust, The Meat Puppets and a little way into The Minutemen’s set. It got too intense for my girlfriend at that point though with all the moshing and pushing, so we literally bailed out over the front barricade and security pulled us over to the side. I remember there were cameramen there filming the event and they filmed us coming over the wall. I’ve been searching for footage of that show for years though and have so far turned up nothing. The SF show seems to have been pretty well documented but virtually nothing exists of the UCLA show (save for a few pictures and an obscure audio cd).<br />We watched the remainder of the show from farther back in the ballroom. I totally remember Grant Hart getting hit with the bottle (I swear it was only like 2 or 3 songs in) and then they pulled the plug. It was a pretty abrupt ending but I was still extremely stoked to have been able to have been there that night. Even more so, given that fact that less than a year later the great D. Boon was gone and 2 years later my friend Brad was dead. I’ve seen a lot of bands since then, and done a lot of other things in life, but seeing that SST show was one of the highlights of the time I spent in California. I was 21 years old then and I am 49 now, but it really does not seem that long ago.<br />Thanks for bringing me back.<br />Dirk<br />Everett, WA <br />Dirk Yerringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786437660738073865noreply@blogger.com
