Perrys voice sounds strong. I caught 2 pornos shows for the first cd around 94' and you could barely even hear him.

I was there at the front for this. 16 years old and really excited about it. They were great. If I remember correctly they came out playing orgasm and Perry was shouting 'suffer you cunts" over and over.

Holy shit

Found this as a result of watching that. First GGU tour footage I've ever seen. This totally reaffirms my memory of that being one of the best shows I've ever seen. Perry was still in top form. That whole band. Jesus christ.

Yeah, I've been meaning to post about that. Wish the dude would post the 2nd half of the show. Been a few months now.

Great video! They were so good, nice set (1/2 set at least). I remember them always opening with either Porpoise Head or Orgasm in NY, maybe I'm wrong..Bman? Cool to open with A Little Sadness. That version of Meija was awesome, I forgot Watt did a little backup vocals. They were the coolest, I remember thinking that all of my ribs were going to crack and break at an Irving Plaza show. They opened with Porpise Head and the whole crowd swelled as one, but dangerously crushed together. The hair on my arms stands up when I think about that show!

I think we discussed before, but I had a very similar experience. I was front and center, and the moment the show started I was being crushed in to the security barrier. People all around me were having the guards pull them over so they could breathe. I hunkered down, put my knees up, and spent most of the show suspended in the air between the crowd and the gate.

That'll have been 20 years ago in a month... Reading 93 is 23 years ago... it's no wonder 60 year old Perry can't live up to that shit. He was better than Iggy Pop back then.

I saw Iggy Pop a month ago.

He was pretty damn good.

I saw Perry a few years ago.

He was pretty damn bad

My recollection is also orgasm or porpoise head to start NYC shows but I don't recall that much about those two at Irving except that they played for an hour or less and were amazingly powerful.
But the first one at roseland definitely opened with orgasm and the crowd was a swirl the likes of which I'd never experienced, but safe, until P4P ripped the shit up to where I was lifted and moved from the middle to the rail, got kicked in the head (my friend Guy, RIP, got his glasses broken at the same moment) and finally escaped happy to be in one piece, and watched from towards the back of the floor. As intense as any moment at a live show I've ever experienced.

Yeah, they opened with Orgasm at the St. Louis show too. And yes, the only rowdier crowds I'd ever experienced were at hardcore punk shows. People were still fanatical about Perry at the time. He took the stage and the place went nuts.

I remember them encoring with Mt Song. When Watt started that bass line I thought people were going to tear down the god damn building. Things just went absolutely fucking crazy.
