The dB's "She's Got Soul" Hoboken 1986

I was there too. Hotter than hell. The guy who smashed the bottle over your head was probably the same idiot who yelled and got in everyone's way all night.

I know I was at this gig. Because there was a time period when I didn't miss a single gig in the NYC area. Thank you for posting this!

I saw these guys at the Rathskeller in Kenmore Square Boston in 1986 or so. A roomate of mine interviewed them for a teen magazine he was writing for. We got to speak to Will Rigby for about an hour before the gig. Great guy and great band. They jsut had no luck with record labels. If somethig weird or goofy could happen to a band's record label it happened to the db's label.

I was there too. Some guy hit me in the face with a bottle.

@tmurph13 I was there---Camper Van Beethoven opened...and someone smashed a bottle over my eye and I got five stitches.

I saw them at Tulane's McAllister auditorium, opening for REM. 1985, I think. I'm a big REM fan but The dBs crushed it that night. Just awesome. And the fact that I was in high school but found myself dancing next to a girl from Tulane, well, that was cool too.

Thank you for posting this. I saw the dB's open for REM in Houston in 1984 and thought they should have been the headliners.

This band was my personal "Beatles" (alongside R.E.M.'s Byrds and The Replacements' Stones) as a kid in the early '80s. I learned every part to every song on every instrument. I was lucky enough to see them several times in the later '80s in New Orleans, LA. Thank you for posting this, it's made me very happy.

Hell yes! Saw 'em at Jimmy's with the Fleshtones the night before Mardi Gras '86, plus a bunch of other times. Used to go see Peter H. play solo at Carrollton Station, later on. Those were fun shows. The Beatles-Byrds-Stones analogy is right on target, yep.

I wasn't, sadly...the show sold out before I got tickets...
