Bongwater/King Missile
The Marquee, New York, NY
Me and my friend Kathy scurried over to this show after catching Elvis Costello and The Replacements at Madison Square Garden, making this quite the music-packed evening. We, unfortunately, missed most of King Missile's set due to this two-show gambit, which was a shame since we were both big King Missile fans (we attended six KM shows together in four different cities throughout 1991).

Bongwater was terrific, though, and the packed house was fully appreciative. I seem to recall Kramer playing bass with the instrument loose, no guitar strap. It seemed rather unwieldy.
One of the most memorable moments in the show was when Ann Magnuson addressed the crowd. "Let me introduce you to my friends. This here is Thelma," she declared, pointing to one of her breasts as the audience wildly cheered the reference to Geena Davis' character in the just-released film. She indicated the other one. "And this is Louise." Pause a beat. "And this," she declared as she jabbed a finger toward her crotch, "is Harvey Keitel!" The crowd roared.
