I think Mel Gooch, Sean Cronan and I drove to about 60 Burn shows all over the northeast.<BR/><BR/>I had first heard of Burn from Ted Nelson as he was somehow still in touch with Alex Napak after Pressure Release. We found out they were playing one of their first shows (if not their first) at the Right Track Inn in Long Island and a bunch of us drove our asses down there for that. <BR/><BR/>They were amazing from the first note and a friend had taped the set on his tiny boombox. We listened to that shitty audio tape daily for months until a rehearsal tape was acquired and I don't think I missed a Burn show within 4 hours driving distance of CT for a few years.adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779900021718675789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-59405295517231916562008-06-26T20:32:00.000-04:002008-06-26T20:32:00.000-04:00the first time i saw burn was at ABC no rio. sound...the first time i saw burn was at ABC no rio. sound was shit so couldn't really judge. After that show it seemed like whenever they played i was there. CB's,Middlesex, city gardens ( that show chaka did a split jump off the riser and over the mic stand. Even drove 2 hours for to Unisound for and waited till 11:00 for them to show up and not play.Lenny Zimkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797899466033480602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-3691897503793982302008-06-26T09:23:00.000-04:002008-06-26T09:23:00.000-04:00The first time I saw BURN was at Bunratty's in Bos...The first time I saw BURN was at Bunratty's in Boston in 1991. They opened for Shelter and, I believe, Kingpin. Chaka had mic problems the entire set, so just did stage dive after stage dive. <BR/><BR/>A cool side note to the show was that on our way to the club, my friends & I ran into Choke, Hank Pierce and Steve Risteen at a convenience store down the street. They gave us shit for going to see Shelter....Kebunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875060374990991430noreply@blogger.com
