Anyone in OKP land tally up results yet? I wonder who here has seen the earliest show and what year. Seems the earliest I recall is 93. Do we have any late 80s here? If so, LUCKY BASTARD!

#76

OK! Man I would have LOVED to see a 91 show! Dude’s were SMOKING and SOLID!

#77

I think there was even a couple '90s… wasn’t KevinHose '91 as well? Maybe I am wrong…

And my memory is admittedly terrible, but I swear I remember someone mentioning an '89 show. That would have been some sweetness.

#78

weatherman posted here for a bit, and I’m pretty sure he saw multiple 80’s shows

Kevin’s first show was 12.29.90 I believe.

#79

^That’s true… At the now defunct Campus Club here in Providence. I should have gone too. I was 7 at the time and probably watched Family Matters or some shit that night.

#80

Yeah I wonder if I even knew you in 1990 man.

But yep, my face left my head that night for sure. I was 17 years old.
