I remember seeing Soundgarden with The Reverend Horton Heat back in the day. Most people would probably consider Soundgarden to be the better band when it comes to records and would be on way more people's lists, but damned if The Reverend Horton Heat wasn't the better live show. If I had to take someone to a concert who didn't know either band and just wanted them to have fun, I know which one I would take them to.
Haha I was at that same show. 94-95 at Max Bell? The two things that stood out were how much weed was in the air and how friggin loud it was. I've been to a lot of concerts and a lot of loud ones but that one was up there for volume. After Soundgarden started I thought my eardrums were gonna blow. Pretty good show, though, so glad I got to see them when I did.
