I was at the Jane's Addiction show at the ICA when the smoke machine set off the fire alarms and everybody had to go and wait outside on a cold November Mall.

Right after moving to Seattle in spring 1990 I was riding the bainbridge island ferry with my friend who had already been there a few months and he introduced me to Chad Channing; looking at the timeline I guess he must have just left Nirvana (who of course I'd never heard of at the time).

My other ones are all from art fields other than music so nm
I was there when Rage Against The Machine didn't play Lollapalooza, instead opting for several min utes of feedbacking unplayed instrument while standing on the stage with PMRC on their chests.
Oh, and they were totally naked.

I was there at passerby when James Murphy told me he was recording a song about how impressed he was with all the hip young bands and how much they know.
I was there after the outhud show in the back of passerby when Thomas or Eric played Losing my Edge and Beat Connection and nobody I was with had any idea what it was.
I was there on ILX dropping names still in 2014.
