It was a pleasure seeing Big Black play even though they only played 4 songs. The lineup was Albini, Santiago Durango, and Jeff Pezzati (Naked Raygun), the Bulldozer & Racer X lineup.
They started by setting off a pack of firecrackers, and went into "Cables". They also played "Dead Billy", "Pigeon Kill", and closed with an awesome version of "Racer X". Albini was very gracious to Touch and Go, and said it was only for the label than the band got back together - saying it was "much cooler in the 80's". He also stated that the mainstream music press often ignores all music between the "Sex Pistols and Nirvana".
They were followed by Shellac, but they seemed anticlimactic to the BB set. We listened to them from further back and then we went home.
