Christie Front Drive

This makes me very happy:

Christie Front Drive – “Slide”

Fort Collins, Colorado, 1994

I would like to put up post after post about this band, but this clip will have to suffice for now. I was in Fort Collins recently; it’s a neat little town, but it really is very isolated. I like to think of the kids at this show, in the middle of a deep dark night on the Great Plains, listening and watching as Christie Front Drive performed some of the most beautiful music being made at that time. Or since.

Do you know if they were playing at The Grange in this show? We used to go there in the early 80s to see punk shows….such starry nights! Such weirdness in the parking lot!

YouTube says the show was at someplace called the RamsKeller. I’ve never heard of it — I was in NJ at the time. I never got to see Christie Front Drive play, although ironically one summer while I was traveling around the country they played at my house in New Brunswick.
