My 1st show I went to I was 12. D.R.I./napalm death. My knees were bruised and bloody but I recall it like yesterday.
Pittsburgh had a good scene when I was growing up. 3 bigger venues, ton of dive places/vfw/fire hall/ house shows.
Was also into bmx. Pgh was/still is a bmx hot bed. Always be 10-20 of us at a show. Even now when I go be the old head at a show I run into guys from bikes I may not have seen in a long ass time.
During pinburgh this past summer there was 3 good shows that week/weekend. Black flag/ bouncing souls/ bad religion were all in town that week.
