    Nirvana already were legends, even when i met them at the very first Big Day Out in 1991.

    That first BDO the organizers quite simply did not supply enough beer and it kept on running out through the day. At one point when there was beer again, was standing in the queue, near the front when this yank (didn;t know who he was) came up, stuck a bunch of $50's in my hand and asked that i get him some beers. All I had on my mind was doing a runner on this guy as $200 back then wasa lot of money, considering the ticket for the entire festival had cost me about $50, lol. I whispered to my gf at the time, about doing the runner and she whispers back that it's Dave Grohl, lol. Anyhow, got to chatting and he is telling me that even backstage they hadrun out of beer, and help out carrying etc.

    So yeah, got to spend a bit of time chatting with Dave. Kurt was kinda tweaking, so left him to his own but think a lot of that was because Courtney Love was there, raving, waving and flapping about, out of her gourd as well on * knows what. Got to sit by the side of the stage inside the Hordern Pavilion through the Violent Femmes and Nirvana. The Femmes were a lot of fun, but Nirvana were absolutely immense. To this day, one of the top 5 live sets I've ever been at. Great day.

    Oh dear of course, where is my mind sorry! It was one album, I totally forgot for a second. What a supergroup they were, how do people that talented even meet. So cool that it was the one your heart went with that reached the final.

    What a fantastic story! That is so cool. Dave Grohl the cheeky * skipping the queue but nice you got to chatting and chilling out. That was just about the time they blew the world's minds wasn't it? Apparently he's one of the best drummers in the world. Another fortunate meeting of brilliant musical minds. Would love to have seen them live. The energy must've been incredible. Did you actually order $200 worth of beer? Rock n Roll!:lager: Btw I know they were legends in their own time but now I think they've become part of the iconic bands who rise above all others and will remain legends. Unlike say Mudhoney who new generations won't really know so much.

    I liked the theme for having to stick to one album. I rarely play full albums these days...usually just random songs from an artist!
    I still feel i was unlucky in the semi, but very lucky in the previous round! So many other good songs still left on that Blondie album! I was actually looking forward to seeing how Fade Away And Radiate would fare! Fantastic song.
