You ever witness something so unassailably exactly what it is that it makes any and all arguments about essence/existence seem so, unnecessary? No? Well, PJ Harvey is here to help you do just that.
I've seen PJ Harvey a few times, and those shows have never been anything less than brilliant. I've been one of those people who has to watch everybody in a band while they're playing because I need to know what they do to get the sounds and form they do (I've, fortunately, gotten away from that habit!), but at those shows, it was all about her. She is absolutely riveting. I can't not watch her. Easily in the top five best shows and performances I've seen, out of thousands.
Never seen Ms Harvey, but Bad Brains (COC & Leeway opened up) in Virginia Beach in ‘88 absolutely changed my life. I have seen & played thousands of shows since then, but I have never seen a band come anywhere even close to displaying the power they did that night, & I doubt I ever will. Kinda sucks to have reached the peak of the mountain during my senior year of high school hahaha.
Bro....COC opened for my old band in like 1983 and I thought at the time those guys will be monsters. It was weird to be right up against a really clear understanding of fate and destiny, all in one moment. Because they most certainly were.

I feel stupid saying so but I was a little surprised. I mean nothing I saw back in the '90s did I process as leading to THIS...really amazing.

Indeed. The Animosity LP is a HUGE influence on me. Love those dudes, & RIP Reed Mullin.
And the first drummer I saw them with was that Black cat...you remember his name?
Nah- only knew Reed & Jimmy Bower (from EYHATEGOD- played drums in COC for a bit)
