I saw one of Kim's last show in L.A. when they opened for...Veruca Salt...like 8 years ago? Great show. I went to L.A. to see VS when they first reformed, and then went back again when they were touring for their for their Ghost Notes...the Muffs opened for them. Had VIP passes and met the bands...they were all very nice and thrilled they had such an audience so many years after their heyday.
That's awesome. I never got the chance to see either of them... Well, I had plans to see Veruca Salt about ten years ago but didn't make it to the show for whatever reason. Really wish I saw the Muffs though. They should have been a lot bigger, and I never understood why they weren't.
Saw pre-Budokan release Cheap Trick in a Hartford warehouse bar nine days after the show from this video. Had an edgy garage band type feel. They were captivating.
Caught them post-Budokan a little less than a year later in the Providence Civic Center. They were ok, but didn't have the same impact; felt more packaged. That Hartford show, however, remains among my personal live rock performance favorites.

Such a great band. I only got to see them once, but it was at Lollapalooza '96 and not nearly as cool as the first show you mentioned. Joey Ramone came out and sang "Surrender" with them though, so that was pretty cool.
