The Cramps at Mississippi Nights on 11/26/97
Got there early thinking it might sell out. I was about the fifth person there. Hit the bar, and hung back waiting for the show. The opening band was Demolition Dolls. Three people walked out onto the stage in G-Strings and pasties. One of them was a guy! They played some very basic garage rock. However the shock value of the girls dressed like that, added to it. Their drummers eyes were rolling back in her head. I was waiting for her to pass out. Next up was Guitar Wolf, three guys right out of Japan. They even had their set list written in japanese. They were dressed in black leather pants, and jackets. Looked like Dee Dee Ramone, meets Sid Vicious. They played some awesome early punk sounding stuff. I think they were even singing in japanese. Very cool. Then The Cramps were on. The place was packed at this point, the guys from Ghoul 5 were there. Beatle Bob was dancing, Steve Pick even showed up. The Cramps were great as usual. Delivering exactly what they are known for. A great evening.
