best concert I've ever been to MxPx at the Webster Theatre in Hartford, CT in '98? or maybe '99. I've seen them a few different times but this was the only one that they were headlining. The opening bands were alright, I can't even remember who they were. Then the lights went out for a second, they came back on and they were already playing. The room was so small the entire crowd was shoulder to shoulder and you were in constant motion. One minute you'd be up against the rail in the front getting shoved by a bouncer, the next you'd be in the back corner. I didn't see the other guy that I went with until the end. And when we were leaving, I was exhausted from trying to keep my balance, covered in sweat, it was pooring outside and I just sat out in the parking lot for a while trying to recover.

Wow! MxPx! This was my favorite band in high school and still one of my all time favorites. Their first 3-4 albums (and especially the first two) I still play all the time. I went to my first show in Atlanta and when they played the remake of Donna I was sold. I saw them numerous times in the powerhouse in Greenville and various other places. They really lost me in the last few years though so I will have to check out the new release. There was nothing like a show headlined by Mxpx with either 90 lb wuss opening, or Value Pac, or even the Supertones. Great stuff.

Value Pac! awesome. There's a CD I haven't listened to in a few years. It was one of my favorites in High School. I never saw them live. I don't think they traveled that far north.

I think Value Pac only put out two albums. I had their first one, but I think T&N dropped them pretty quickly after that. Some guys at Winthrop actually got signed to T&N about 5 years ago and I think their name was Emery. I don't know anything other than that though, I haven't followed T&N much since college.

Man, I listened to three MxPx cd's going to Martinsville and back.

I love singing along with them because it's impossible to sound bad when singing with Mike.

I guess a song like, "Hide the beer, the pastors here" would not be played on campus? That by the way is an actual song by the Swirling Eddies...one of the many bands that feature Terry Taylor. FYI...Liberty Baptist is mentioned in the song towards the end. See lyrics:
Hide the Beer, the Pastor's Here!

from the album "Outdoor Elvis"

the straw runs down his arm and leg
under the carpet out to the keg
a secret party tonight at Point Loma

and the hate in your heart you're hiding well
but the booze on your breath is easy to smell
there's a six-pack to hide
on the Oral U side
let's drive to oklahoma

hide the beer, the pastor's here
hide the beer, think of your career
he might find out that we're human beins'
and bring us all down to the rack and the ruin

she had a beer as an evening snack
when the 'scripture man' planned a sneak attack
suspension's the buzz out at Wheaton
as she packed her bags and gathered her books
'scripture man' gave her that lustful look
yes lust is his brew but no one sees through
his minty fresh breath ain't reekin'

when the coast is clear, you can kiss me, dear
together we'll have hell to pay
so wear a beard, the pastor's here
put the "R" rated movie away

yeah, hide the beer, the pastor's here
hide the beer, think of your career
he might find out that we're human beins'
and bring us all down to the rack and the ruin

hide the beer (biola!)
hide the beer (bethel!)
wear a beard (west mont!)
hide the beer (calvin college!)
hide the beer (azusa pacific!)
hide the beer (liberty baptist!)
hide the beer (san jose bible college!)
hide the beer (bob jones!)
hide the beer (taylor u!)
hide the beer (california baptist!)
hide the beer (gordon college!)
hide the beer (calvin klein!)
hide the beer!
