Moscow, ID. One of the six or so times I saw them over the years.

We had them booked for our summer concert weekend here a few years later and some of the big shots in town vetoed it. Claimed they were not the kind of act they should be bringing in. That was ridiculous! Yeah they had a kind of satanic image early on that might persist a little, but there's no way most people see them like that. I'm still pissed!

at times. I think Bloom said 1995 was their best year ever. I heard him say that and thought how could that possibly be? They played all over and in some bigger places with really good crowds along with the dives. I guess with Bloom, Roeser and Lanier getting most of the money, they may have done better than when they were on top, the way the record companies screwed bands back then. All those shows and classic rock stations were probably selling their music again too.
