The Jayhawks hung out in our living room after a show in 1991 or '92. My housemates had a friend who knew them. Unfortunately, I didn't know who they were at the time; all I knew is that my asshole housemates brought home what sounded like 100 people and were loud as hell on a school night at 2 or 3 in the morning. Oh, well.

Edit: Holy shit--it must have been after this show.

Not surprising you didn't know who they were in '91. Also, looking at a picture of Gabe's I'm guessing your housemate brought home everyone who went to the concert!

It sure felt like it!

Gabe's was a fantastic place to see live bands. The bar was on the first floor, and the performances were on the second. It only held a couple hundred people at most. I saw L7, Uncle Tupelo, and the New Duncan Imperials, not to mention many others that I can't even remember. Nirvana played there a year before I went to college, so I missed them.
