The Pixies / Bob Mould / X

Fri Oct 27, 1989 Hollywood,CA I went to show for Bob Mould. Most of my friends went for The Pixies who I wasnt that into. This is true story!!... During Mould's show I noticed that toward the back of the arena John Doe of X was sticking his head out this side door looking around. On a hunch, while The Pixies were playing, I waited by that same door. Sure enough Bob stuck his head to see the scene. I told him 'great show' but what caught his attention was that I mentioned I was bummed that he didnt play 'sinners and their repentences' (the only song off his solo album that he didnt play). He was pleased that I mentioned one of his songs rather than any number of Husker Du tunes that he should have played. He opened the door wider and said with a smile 'come here' He grabbed an acoustic guitar of his and did a quick impromptu version with noone else around of that very song for me. After he was done he thanked me for the support and said he had to get going. Obviously this was a show to be remembered for me! Workbook tour
