Memory:Bill Andrejko
I was a little disapointed to see that the two GG shows I had the privilege of attending were not included in the on-line concert list of their's. The first time I saw them was in Albany, New York, at the Palace theatre. This would have been around the time Giant For A Day was released. Dr. Feelgood opened, which must have been some sort of inside joke that no one got. Needless to say, GG put on an amazing show as many have so well chronicled on your site. Their use of a the quad sound system holds especially great memories. The second time I saw them was in Rennselear, New York, at a small club called The Hullabaloo (It may have been operated under a different name at that time) A decent prog-wannabe band from Syracuse, 805, opened and got everyone in the mood for GG. "Civilian" had either just been released or was on the way. The show lacked some of the unconventional weirdness that us GG die-hards had come to love and they never seemed to recover from their attempt at "commercialism". Still, they remain one of my favorite pleasures of that time period. Bill.
