[bluestreak]

the only ones i can say for sure are

jon lee
chris ackland (the bloke from lush people keep mentioning... how do i remember his name FFS)
kirsten pfaff

though like others i had a ticket for nirvana, and also for one of the manics gigs that got cancelled when richey was first hospitalised. i dare say there are a few more though that i missed from minor 90s indie, rock and metal circles.

Yeah, you're right, it was Kilburn and the High Roads...I get them muddled because they were around at the same time and I saw 'em in the same venue.
