Oh shit that's right! Hahaha
Also, it dawns on me when 99% of people think about "Minneapolis Music Scene" they Replacements, Prince, Suburbs, etc, but in reality the Minneapolis music scene is arguing with Billy Batson about the monitor mix and getting the stink-eye from Ernie for talking too loud in the library

yeah that was awesome
Huskers are stone-cold St. Paul, which is why they are essentially melancholy

(lol there was a bit in the end credits in that doc that said "'eight miles high' written by robert berry, keith emerson and carl palmer" which was a tad confusing - turns out those guys covered it as the band '3' in 1988. it's um, not a very good version)

I saw that! Also, minor quibble but Twin/Tone never released any Hypstrz records.

Tbh to an outsider, the MPLS vs St Paul thing, even if it’s a bit of fun, is kinda interesting, not least in due to the back in the day flagship bands of both, and partly due to the nature of the Twin Cities
(Clearly countless instances over the years of Husker Du being subsumed under the ‘Minneapolis band’ umbrella)

A new Hüsker Dü live album, Longhorn Tonight, will be released later this year. It will feature a handful of appearances at their local home town venue according to former bassist Greg Norton.

Serious question? Are there any kit breakdowns for Grant out there on the intertubes? I really wanna know his ride cymbal choices for all studio records. There's a magic in their sound in a way that's as important to me today as they were when I was 17.

I like Warehouse a lot, but something about the mix or mastering sounds very weird coming through computer speakers, as if certain frequencies have been misplaced and the stereo balance is off-kilter.

listening through computer speakers might be the problem. The OG vinyl sounds fine. As do their other LPs, unlike the SST CDs which most have a real problem with.

https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/15817
Event: RECORD STORE DAY 2023Release Date: 4/22/2023Format: 2 x LPLabel: Reflex RecordsQuantity: 5000Release type: 'RSD First' ReleaseMORE INFO
A 2xLP set of rare, early Hüsker Dü live recordings, featuring original flyers and artwork. Drawn from the historical Hüsker Dü recording archives compiled by Terry Katzman, this double disc live set is an essential companion piece to the band's Savage Young Du Box Set. While the SYD release principally featured studio demos, the 28 tracks presented here are the aural and enchanting equivalent of a time machine that vividly thrusts the listener straight back to Husker Du's embryonic unsheathing on stage.
Side A dates to July 1979. Side B gives us a full year's evolution to July 1980, while Sides C and D land the listener in September 1980. Perhaps 120 people in total saw these three Longhorn performances. Until now, a handful at most have heard the playbacks. So, rare and fresh, it's all here: the songs, the driven performances, the small club intimacy of being in front of select friends, fans, and peers, with one fair shot at getting it right. These four sides compellingly document that you can't doubt that they did.

Perhaps 120 people in total saw these three Longhorn performances.
I was likely one of them. "Tiger Night" (side B) was the name of the Wednesday new band night at The Longhorn. No cover, and there was usually free tap beer for an hour from 8-9 pm to get people down there. I went almost every week in 1980.
