Flashback: Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks

One of my very first real concerts I went to was Pavement at the Cadillac Club in Fresno, California, on 09/16/1994. I sure wish I had the ticket stub or flyer, but I distinctively remember this show because Pavement's drummer Bob Nastanovich stood outside the venue, shaking our hands as we stepped into the tiny club. Obviously, I don't remember any songs they played since it was 20 years ago (although I'm pretty sure they played "Cut Your Hair", since the band was riding high on this hit around this time), but according to bootleggers online, they noted that this show featured an improved version of Silver Jews' "Federal Dust".

The poster and ticket stub tells me that the show was booked by the Developing Arts & Music Foundation and listed as a 21+ show. I do have poor memory of the event, I remember that I touched Johnny Marr's arms and guitar (so I was front, as usual).
