From Julee Dunekacke -
1. Pablo's Triangle w/Clean Plate Club (and Polecat reunion)? June 2000.
This was the first show I ever saw at Duffy's. It was also my first time drinking Old Style. It was also my first time seeing Pawl Tisdale, Matt Focht, Ben Armstrong, Colby Stark...etc, etc play. I was awe-stricken. It was a nice kick in the ass that made me think, "Heeeey, why don't I play here sometime?"

2. The Black Dahlias/13 County/The Holy Ghost July 4th Spectacular 2001. Fireworks? We don't need no stinking fireworks! If I ever leave Lincoln, I want a homecoming like that. There were more guest singers jumping on stage than I could count, each one possessed by the spirit of rock'n'roll. Tery Daly jumped on stage with The Black Dahlias, Chris Goeden and a few others jumped on stage with the Holy Ghost. (I also recall Rich Higgins jumping on stage, but at this point, I can't confirm that!) If Charles would've kept his shirt on, this show would have been #1. Just kidding, Charles.

3. HOLS/ Drive-by Honky in June 2001. Drive-by Honky was in top form, weaning everyone off of Thrift Americana with some kickass new songs. HOLS almost brought the stage down. They were hot off of their tour with Frank Black. This is how RAWK should be.

4. The 13 County cd release show w/the W.T. The W.T. pulled out an awesome cover of 13 County's "Wanderin' William", which I not only found entertaining, but very hilarious at the same time. They also featured an ultra-slow version of "At My Weakest", which was a nice change from the norm. 13 County unleashed the song "80's goin' 90", which didn't make it on to the new album. Chris jumped off of an amp or two and the drum set during the final song.

5.Betty Blowtorch w/Mister Baby. Ok, so I'm biased on this one because I'm in Mister Baby. It was by far the best show Mister Baby has played, despite the drums falling apart during "Cemetery Mary". Having the Betty Blowtorch gals in the front cheering us on and taking pictures of us didn't hurt. It was an interesting crowd too. There were many regulars in attendance, but also many people who didn't normally come to shows that really turned the excitement up a notch.

Runner up: The Crush the Clown show where Nick pulled apart his guitar at the end. He turned around to face the audience with this look of joy that I had never seen from him before. Not sure when this show was, but it was a great moment.
