Speaker 2: the first live show you ever saw?
Speaker 7: Well, I feel very fortunate to say this. I got
Speaker 7: to see Navana Alive at the Palace back in ninety one, so.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. Nineteen ninety one. I saw them in
Speaker 2: ninety two.
Speaker 1: How old were you?
Speaker 7: I was fifteen. My aunt was friends with somebody that
Speaker 7: had something to do with the Palace back in the day,
Speaker 7: so we were very fortunate in the sense that we
Speaker 7: got a free pass to go and see them, and
Speaker 7: it was just, Yeah, it blew me away. It was
Speaker 7: the greatest thing I've ever seen in my tile. I've
Speaker 7: actually walked out of that gig thinking to myself, actually
Speaker 7: want to be a musician. So yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what an experience to see a band like that.
Speaker 2: Nine So ninety one was probably just on the cusp
Speaker 2: before they really sort of became global stars.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they sort of. I think it was sort of
Speaker 7: around the never mind, So I had the cassette, but
Speaker 7: they played a whole bunch of other material that I
Speaker 7: hadn't actually heard yet. But when the curtain open, just
Speaker 7: all pitch black and you could just make out their
Speaker 7: sealover wet. Kirk Bain was taking the last few dragons
Speaker 7: on a cigarette and then they're just launched in banneurhythm.
Speaker 7: And then when the drums kicked in from Dave Groll,
Speaker 7: all these psychedelic lights behind them just went it just
Speaker 7: went nuts in and we were on the balcony, so
Speaker 7: there's just a whole seat of people just moushing and
Speaker 7: going insane. I was just blown away.
Speaker 2: It's actually given me goosebumps just imagining the scene. You
Speaker 2: just painted that so vividly. Amazing how much you still
Speaker 2: remember of it.
Speaker 7: It was one of those turning points in my wife Christian.
Speaker 7: And Kirk Cabain is such a humble person, you know,
Speaker 7: you just had this presence about him. You didn't have
Speaker 7: to do anything. He wasn't overcontrived. So when he just
Speaker 7: strummed his guitar and sang, I just, I don't know,
Speaker 7: just blew my mind. And he was such an amazing lyricist,
Speaker 7: Like his lyrics just really blew me away back in
Speaker 7: the day.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's amazing, and he's still doing live music now.
Speaker 2: You say that it sort of made you want to
Speaker 2: be getting a band. Do you still do that now occasionally?
Speaker 7: Yeah, My old band's actually been around for twenty five years,
Speaker 7: so they're actually doing a reunion show later this year.
