    Ha ha, no. I've seen that video and I'm over to the right out of the frame most of the time. You can only see my head for a split second. I was standing directly in front of the speakers, stupidly frying my eardrums. But most of the flashes you see going off are probably mine (well, about 40 of them anyway).

    Here's a few of the Mural Ampitheater pics. These are drugstore 3x5 prints scanned on my flatbed, but you get the idea. I'm no pro photographer - I was a 19 year old with a cheap camera with an auto flash but they came out pretty good. When Ed climbed the speakers I was standing in front of, I remember thinking, "Damn I sure hope this shitty little camera works..." Crazy to think this was over 20 years ago. What a killer day this was!

    Great pics!!! However, I would have put my camera down after taking the third picture. Geeky Stone actually looks mean and pissed off! :lol:

    Thanks all - I'm glad to share the goodness with the true believers. I'm stoked to see such a positive response to these pics, but then again, how could I have expected anything less?

    I'm reminded once again how incredibly lucky I was to be a kid during those years and to have been able to take part in so many amazing shows - even though I bitched to no end at the time about being under age and not being able to get in to many more shows... I had the world's worst fake ID and actually got it confiscated the second time I tried to use it. I still got to see Green River, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, The Melvins, and Nirvana play (all but PJ to very small crowds) -- and all before my 21st birthday. :shock:

    In hindsight, I'm lucky as hell to be born and raised when and where I was, and to have an older friend who cured my middle school british metal obsession by dragging me to the Gorilla Gardens and showing me there was something special to be found in the music being made here at home.

    As I've mentioned to many of you via PM, I've decided I'm not going to sell any of this stuff. The memories are mine and always will be, but my 12 year old daughter is becoming a huge PJ fan and I'm going to hold on to all of this for her.

    However, I'm going to investigate what I can do with the negatives for these photos and see about getting some more prints made - complete sets of everything I shot that day, plus some B&W's and larger prints of some of the more interesting shots - and if so, I'll be willing to trade those (not sell - I'm not looking to make money off these) for other PJ related stuff so I can build an even larger and cooler collection for me and my daughter to geek out on. If I can pull that together, I'll post a thread about it here and let all of you who've PM'd me know what's up.

    Thanks again for the all the positivity and warm welcomes - this board is a very cool gathering of very cool people.
