@mdgarmager- Yep, this was the show with Thunder & Lightning (RIP Lightning); I was there too! Chuck Treece was on bass. After the show ended, I was out front having a cigarette and Chuck came out, still in stage attire, bass in a gig bag on his back. I complimented the show, we exchanged pleasantries, then he got on a skateboard and took off south down Clark Street.
Very cool. One of my favourites. At their best they get the guitar weaving that the Stones are so good at. This could have been a bonus track on Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out.
I never got to see UO play live though I saw many of the epic Chicago bands including Smashing Pumpkins, Stabbing Westward, Life Sentence, Out of Order, The Effigies, Naked Raygun, Bonemen of Barumba, Security, Terminal White, Green, The Raving Mad and so many more..... I made a name for myself as a dancer in Chicago and danced on and offstage and in friends videos too. I wrote a poem about the band I would be in and the effect I would hope to attain with my bandmates which would be moving bodies and blowing minds. One of the lines in the poem was I've got the Urge to Overkill but I'm Not Made to Fade in honor of two of those local bands. It would be cool to dredge up old videos of me dancing to include in the documentary film I am in the process of getting shot by a young film student from DePaul university named Jack. I also want to feature music made in Chicago so local artists get the recognition they deserve. A video montage of local artists or dancers through the years would be cool to include during any interview segments.
@pyenapple how cool! can't wait to hear that! i searched the internet for years, and nothin found. alI i could do is buying the Saturation CD one decade ago, lol.. I do like the new song, sounds very much like saturation, specially the guitar. The song Tequila sundae is definetly in my "top 3 best songs of the 90's" for me.. Thank you in advance!
@pyenapple Very cool!!. I love those riffs. This one is much more powerful than the studio version. I know there's a record sold on-line called live at maxwells, which is a show from 2004. seems to be good too. I hope they come someday to Uruguay, or at least to Argentina, who knows. Thanks for sharing!
@subspaceplatform Can you recall the opening acts that night? Was there a Neil Diamond impersonator duo, "Thunder and Lightning"? Also, was this one of the first shows on the Saturation tour? I remember gold UO medallions and black t-shirts with the UO logo in red and white. I'm pretty sure I was there, but I can't find any info online in regards to openers. Thank you!
@subspaceplatform Cool, thank you. I was definitely there, all the clues fit. That was an incredible rock and roll moment!

@Fedeitor I added a live version of "Nite And Grey" from 1994. I'll add more soon, I have a handful of 'em.
@johnnydistortiontrio Yeah, it's even better than the studio version!
@Fedeitor I do have a handful, all off import CD singles. I'll add more soon. Do you dig the new Urge song "Effigy"?
