All shows were pretty great except for an '07 show at NOLA HOB. The sound was so awful that you couldn't even hear the vocals and you could tell Isaac was pissed off because they couldn't get it right.

I think i was at this show. Man Man open for them? If so, I was definitely there, and drunk AF.

I've posted in other MM/Isaac Brock threads about how influential they were to me as a suburban texas kid in the mid 90's, and how they were really the first band that opened my eyes to music that existed outside of what my peers were listening to. They were the first band I really loved.

I've seen them all over the country throughout the years, last time though was in '08 or '09 i think. The most memorable performance was the one they played at some random country & western bar in Oklahoma City back in 2002 (I think). This was the show where Brock was yelling at the crowd for a knife, someone tosses it to him and he proceeds to cut his forearm, and continue the jam. They played a great set, it was hot as hell in there, and everyone was drenched by the end. His anger was real that night.
