The Jesus and Mary Chain - Snakedriver

Will got me thinking about my early concert experiences with that last post. I saw The Jesus and Mary Chain in Ithaca, NY (Bailey Hall at Cornell) in 11th grade. Mazzy Star opened the show so it was a real shoe-gazing night. My friend (Sean) and I used to crank Snakedriver a lot while we were driving between home, high school and Perkins. It's got 2 minutes of sappy sounding vocals followed by 2 minutes of guitar noise, the perfect recipe for teenagers who took themselves too seriously.
