2005 Updates

Date Description of changes
25 Dec 2005 Added a page for Everything Falls Apart coffee mug, a recent offering by the same eBay guy who has been peddling the other ones listed below (see 22 Oct). Added a link to the new page from the Hüsker oddities index page.
15 Dec 2005 Made the long overdue addition of Darren Prodger's name to the acknowledgments list. Among other contributions, Darren drove from Rhode Island to Chicago in his Ford Ranger pickup, taking on Mark Weygandt and me as passengers, in a crazy weekend road trip to see Bob's 15 Feb 1997 show at the Vic Theatre. Darren also hauled, in the very same vehicle, all my recording gear back from Vancouver to my home in Massachusetts at the end of the Last Dog and Pony tour, allowing me to avoid the hassle, expense and risk of crating it up and transporting it by air as checked luggage.
15 Dec 2005 Added the short but sweet setlist for Grant's guest appearance last night onstage with Mike Watt at the 1st Ave (Minneapolis) 35th Anniversary show and linked to it from the dates page. (Thanks to John Mulhouse.) Also identified the venue for Grant's 02 Jun 1990 Nova Mob gig in Yugoslavia as the Klub Akademija (Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro). (Thanks to Aleksandar Delibasic, who attended the show.)

The 27 Jun 1984 date had long been listed as 26 Jun, with a Columbus show listed for the following night, but the Philly flyer quite specifically says, "tonight, Wed June 27," so there's an unresolved anomaly.

18 Jun 2005 Added a second flyer (as seen in, and stolen from, Steven Blush's American Hardcore: A Tribal History) for the North Base Armory (Norman OK) show; added a flyer (this image mined from the Hurchalla book) for a Hüsker gig advertised as 30 Apr 1986 at the Outhouse in Lawrence KS , but which seems to have been moved to the KU Union Ballroom (or was it the other way around — anyone know more about this?). Also put up an Outhouse venue page and a microscopic photo of the place. Updated the 1983 poster index page, the 1986 poster index page, and the dates page.
17 Jun 2005 Found out a bit more info about the old Centro-American Social Club in Chicago and updated its venue page. Thanks to George Hurchalla's ambitious new book Going Underground: American Punk 1979-1992 for the lead. Also corrected the club name on the dates page.

15 May 2005 Added Bob's 04 Sep 2005 Electric Picnic (Stradbally Hall, Co Laois, Ireland) date to the dates page. Stradbally Hall doesn't seem to have its own website, so I went with this generic one; the only photo I could locate of the estate grounds was this small, ancient postcard image.

22 Apr 2005 Fixed broken link for the Moore Theater on the dates page, and linked to a new venue photo.
22 Apr 2005 Added yet another chart to the Spin Radio Concert Bootleg Comparison page, this one examining the differences in the track lists as printed in the liner notes.

Upgraded the artwork pages for the Lyndales Burning boot CD, the Minneapolis Is Burning boot CD, and the Live In Boston 1986 boot CD.
19 Apr 2005 Added a track number comparison chart to the Spin Radio Concert Bootleg Comparison page and made some minor editing changes there. Upgraded the artwork pages for the ERI Radio Concerts cassette, the Lynndale's Burning boot 12", the Live At The 1st Avenue Club boot 12", and the Spin Radio Show counterfeit 12".
17 Apr 2005 Took a first cut at a Spin Radio Concert Bootleg Recording Comparison Chart to help differentiate among the confusing welter of releases (mostly bootlegs) of the 28 Aug 1985 1st Ave show (Spin Radio Concert show).

10 Apr 2005 Confirmed that the 29 Jun 1984 Pop Shop (Cleveland) photos on the Negative Print interview page added yesterday were also shot by Steve Wainstead and credited him there. Activated the still photos link in the corresponding entry on the dates page to point there. Also added the previously unknown 1983 Pop Shop date (exact date uncertain, but Bob mentions having played there "last year" in the interview) to the dates page.
09 Apr 2005 Hey! I actually added something new to the Hüskerzine page! It's a 1984 interview from Negative Print #16, a fanzine out of Cleveland. While I had the Hüskerzine page on the workbench to add the new article, I took the opportunity to make some cosmetic changes as part of an ongoing campaign to achieve some semblance of stylistic consistency here. The Negative Print interview was conducted by Steve Wainstead, also a photographer who took tons of gig photos in the Cleveland area during the 80s. I noticed that the link to his photo of the 12 Mar 1987 Hüsker gig at the Phantasy (Lakewood OH) was broken, so I contacted him, and he was gracious enough to provide a copy for me to download and add to this site.
08 Apr 2005 Added Bob's 23 Apr 2005 live Blowoff date to the dates page, put up the flyer for the show (taken from the Blowoff site), and updated the 2005 poster index page. Also added the Blowoff link to the Hüsker links page.
03 Apr 2005 Reorganized Hüsker Dü links page, adding a bunch of new ones (Greg's restaurant, several more foreign-language sites), deleting a few dead ones and fixing a couple of broken ones. Colin Mansfield, where are you?

16 Mar 2005 Added venue photos of Whisky (LA) and (really only the marquee of) Masquerade (Atlanta) plucked shamelessly from the Yo La Tengo website — and, inspired by the photo there of the "wrong" El Rey Theater (Albuquerque), found a picture of the El Rey Theater at which Bob played (LA) in Apr 2002. Put the new links on the dates page.

Added these to the dates page along with a link to a photo page for the West End Cultural Center.
12 Mar 2005 Updated venue notes for Riverside (Newcastle UK) and Mayfair Ballroom (Newcastle UK) based on info contributed by Mark Douglas. Determined that the venue previously listed as "Grant" Hall at University of Wisconsin, Madison was, as suspected, incorrectly identified; it's Great Hall in the Memorial Union. (Thanks to Bob Wasserman for pointing out the error.) Added photo links for Riverside and Great Hall/Memorial Union to the dates page.
07 Mar 2005 Added four new Western Canada Grant dates (20-24 May 2005) to the dates page. (Info courtesy of Travis Vande Berg.)
05 Mar 2005 Added Grant's 11 Mar Turf Club gig to the dates page. Also added link to a club photo of the Independent (SF) and augmented the Boardwalk (Manchester UK) venue description with recollections by Dermot Mitchell.

01 Mar 2005 Added a couple of still photos I shot at Bob's 11 Jul 1999 AVP benefit performance at the Barracuda in NYC. I had these archived on an old ZIP disk. Added a link from the dates page.
01 Mar 2005 Made minor fixes to the Maverick's (Boston) venue description after discovering a dead link in there. Also tweaked the descriptions of a couple of other gone-but-not-forgotten Boston venues, the Rat and The Channel. Found a photo of The Channel's sign, and linked to it from the dates page.
28 Feb 2005 Added still photos (courtesy of Peter G. Whitfield) and setlist (courtesy of Sumant Ranji) for Bob's 26 Feb 2005 show at the Independent in San Francisco, and added links from the dates page entry.

  • SommersetIn A Free Land
  • VitesseGreen Eyes
  • Foo FightersNever Talking To You Again
  • EnsignIn A Free Land
  • Poster ChildrenDivide And Conquer
  • GravenhurstDiane Updated the Hüsker Covers Cross-Reference page. All this barely made a dent in the "to be documented" pile. (Most of what remains in the pile, lest anyone get too excited, is obscure compilations featuring common previously-released tracks, some stuff that's on the bubble for inclusion because it's on CDR, yet more covers, and a few promotional items.)
  • 18 Feb 2005 Cleaned up the embarrassingly prehistoric-looking format of the Hüsker Dü images page a bit (no new content).
    18 Feb 2005 Updated Lost Horizon (Syracuse NY) venue description based on info sent by Peter Neidhardt.

    18 Feb 2005 Added setlist pages for two Chicago Mould shows: 17 Feb 2005 Field Museum and 20 Nov 2004 Double Door (thanks to Alex Bender), and updated the dates page.

    08 Feb 2005 It's Sonny Curtis day: updated page of Songs Covered by Hüsker Dü after learning that Sonny Curtis not only wrote but also sang "Love Is All Around" (the MTM theme). Curtis also recorded his song "I Fought The Law" with the Crickets long before the Bobby Fuller Four hit version (hence long, long before the Hüskers covered it).
    07 Feb 2005 Determined previously unknown tour date (29 Sep 1984, Jabberwocky, Syracuse University, Syracuse NY) thanks to these two flyer images furnished by Matt Hudson. Added images to the 1984 flyer index page; added flyer and venue info links to the dates page.

Center (Oshkosh WI -- previously unknown date), and 07 Dec 1987 Hüsker Riverside Ballroom (Green Bay WI) gigs; updated 1982, 1983 and 1987, poster index pages; found and put up a picture of the presumed former home of the Oshkosh venue; and updated the dates page with links to all this stuff.
