— with Tsunami opening —
The Ritz in Raleigh, NC
February 19, 1995 at 9:00 PM
Fan Recaps and Comments:
Tickets were $12.50 in advance, $15 at door.
In a 2008 Gothamist interview with John Linnell, the author John Del Signore recounted a story about moshing at this show:[1]
- [JDS] One of the best concerts I've been to was in 1994 [ed. note: the show was in 1995] at The Ritz in North Carolina. A band called Tsunami was opening for you, and the show was delayed for a very long time. And during the show you stopped and told everyone that the really cool mosh pit was outside in the parking lot. Was moshing something you had to deal with a lot in the early 90s?
- [JL] Sure, yeah. It was a weird problem about performing in any band at that time. For some reason it didn't matter what kind of music you were playing or what kind of band you were; everybody moshed to everything. It was just kind of the enforced rule of going to concerts. Thankfully it really did kind of settle down six or eight years ago; people stopped seeing that as an obligation. You know, it was funny because people would do it during quiet songs in our show, which just seemed bizarre.
