I was going to say I wasn't quite old enough, but really I'm just not quite east coast enough. I saw the U-men, Green River, and Sonic Youth all in 1985, so I could have seen Burma if they'd toured through Seattle on the Horrible Truth tour, but I don't think they did. I was just catching on anyhow.
I saw them in Portland last year though, and they were fucking amazing. Roger Miller took my picture too, I saw it on his blog (granted I'm one face in the crowd, but still totally cool.) I agree that they were completely consistent to the old recordings. Bob Weston even insisted on being placed in Martin Swope's same off stage position and using all tapes and no digital for his loops. It felt every bit as "authentic" as seeing Rocket from the Tombs with Richard Lloyd filling in for Peter Laughner.
