Mudhoney Tourbook, 1992
2/28/92 RCKNDY. Seattle, WA
Supported By: Flop, The Gits
Notes: This show was a benefit for the Chicken Soup Brigade, a Northwest area nonprofit organization serving AIDS patients. Steve: "I remember this as a really fun night. And I love the Art Chantry design magic [of the poster]. I still have a poster."3/5/92 (UCLA Campus). Los Angeles, CA (60 min)
Set: If I Think, Here Comes Sickness, You Got it, Who You Drivin' Now?, Get into Yours, Thirteenth Floor Opening, Let it Slide, This Gift, Make it Now, Good Enough, No One Has, Touch Me I'm Sick, Dead Love, Into the Drink, In 'N' Out of Grace
Notes: The performance was for "Rock the Vote." The outdoor show started at noon, and kids would stumble upon the show, take a stage dive, and keep on going to class. This is he only show the band has ever done where all the guys were completely sober.3/6/92 The Palace. Hollywood, CA (65 min)
Set: Who You Drivin' Now?, Get into Yours, You Got it, Living Wreck, If I Think, Into the Drink, Thirteenth Floor Opening, Let it Slide, This Gift, Make it Now, No One Has, Good Enough, Touch Me I'm Sick, Dead Love
Encore: Thorn, Here Comes Sickness, In 'N' Out of Grace, Hate the Police, Flat Out Fucked, The Money Will Roll Right In
Notes: There are a decent number of Hollywood-types at this show - mainly young actors. Living Wreck and Make it Now are performed for the first known time. The guys started fooling around on their instruments after Here Comes Sickness, and Mark told the crowd that they were playing a song by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. During the break in In 'N' Out of Grace, Mark addresses how there's a woman sitting on a man's shoudlers up front, and it's blocking people's view: "It's not an overwhelming problem, but it still is a problem: people sitting on other people's shoulders during a rock 'n' roll concert. I remember trying to see Aerosmith and fucking having to bob all over the place just to see the big old buldge in Steven Tyler's crotch...So if you could, just let everyone see. I know we're not the most beautiful band, but we're something." At this point, the woman and man have had enough of blocking people's view. After he finished with that, he went into a spiel on Scientology, talking about how all these bands from Seattle have become successful because of it: "We've bought into Scientology and we have a career. Nirvana bought into Scientology and they have a career. Pearl Jam... Soundgarden... Alice in Chains... The Fall-Outs? They haven't bought into shit and they don't have nothing. Gas Huffer? Half of them have bought into Scientology and half of them might have a career." At some point, Mark trades the shirt off his back for a kid in the crowd's Nirvana "Crack Smokin'..." shirt.4/4/92 Sub Pop Ultra Lame Fest. The Paramount Theater. Seattle, WA

Encore 2: Fix Me, Hate the Police
Notes: As they hit the stage and get ready to play, Mark thanks Anti-Seen for opening for them, and introduces Mudhoney as Bad Religion. Mark messes up the lyrics to Into the Drink coming out of the solo, singing "If I didn't do it..." twice. Mark introduces Touch Me I'm Sick as, "This is a song called Flat Motherfucker." The lyrics to In 'N' Out of Grace are changed slightly. As they come out for a second encore Matt quips, "This is taking away from smoking time."4/??/92 (Dutch Radio Studio). The Netherlands
Set: Dehumanized/(Jam) (set possibly incomplete)
Notes: Mark, in March to Fuzz: "We were booked on a Dutch radio show shortly after the Monkeywrench record came out. The host, who apparently thought both bands were interchangeable, kept asking us to play, 'some blues.' To appease him, we played our version of the Void's Dehumanized, just like it is here except we tacked an eight minute 'blues jam' to the end of it." This probably took place right around the time of their 4/16-18/92 shows in The Netherlands (The first Monkeywrench record came out in January, 1992).4/19/92 "Noise New Festival". Phillipshalle.

Notes: No End in Sight is played for the first known time. At least part of this show was broadcast on German WDR radio. The festival itself is also called "WDR 1 Rocknacht." Gary Floyd of the Dicks and Sister Double Happiness in the Austin Chronicle:
Seeing as he all but snubbed Mudhoney's Mark Arm when the singer approached him backstage at a huge European festival and asked him to join the Seattle garage band for the song, Floyd (who blames the incident on jet lag) was only mildly surprised to find himself slagged in Flipside over the failed summit. "They said, 'Yeah, we asked that fucking asshole Gary Floyd to sing it with us one time, and I don't know if he had a big head or what, but he said no, he didn't want to,'" relates Floyd.Floyd later sang 'Hate the Police' with Mudhoney on 12/12/98.4/21/92 The Loft.

Notes: This show takes place in the Cristiania section of Copenhagen, which is "run" by anarchists. Before 'Touch Me I'm Sick,' Mark says "I hope you're all fans of Three Dog Night, because we're about to do a Three Dog Night song." This show was broadwcast on both Swedish P3 radio. Steve: "The first time we played in Denmark, I think was with My Bloody Valentine in 1992. It was actually also at Christiania, but at another venue - in a big hall of a species. It was quite massive and My Bloody Valentine played so high that I had to go outside. And I stood outside and still had to use earplugs, so loud it was." Mark: "I remember we were hanging out with them in the hotel room. We and My Bloody Valentine lived in each of our rooms next to each other, and our then manager crawled from one room to another on the outside of the building to get hold of us."4/27/92 Lepakko.

Notes: Steve introduced Make it Now with, "this is kind of a new song. This song came about when me and Matt decided to write a song, and then Mark and Matt teamed up and it became a new song." Mark added, "that's the cool thing about being in a group," to which Steve said, "one plus two plus three plus four." Mark corrected him: "no, one plus ONE plus one plus one." Matt introduces Touch Me I'm Sick by saying "Here's a song Steve wrote about butt-fucking his brother." Then Steve says, "but I wrote it with Mark, damn it. Matt was watching from the other room, all frustrated. Finally, Mark interjects and says "Here we are, talking, and you understand what we're saying. We're like one big family. I mean, we're Mudhoney, you're Mudhoney, we're a part of you, and you're a part of us. It's so great. I want to come home with you and meet your parents. I want to play this little number for you because I know your parents will understand, and your parents will love us." Then Steve says "My parents love us" and they play the song. During the jam, Dan handles the vocals and says "pussy" over and over. This is the first known time this recurring jam has been performed.4/30/92 PC 69 Bielefeld, Germany

Notes: Mudhoney plays the main stage on the third day of this three-day festival. Suck You Dry is performed for the first known time. It was raining quite heavily through out the festival, and the audience begins throwing mud on the stage. The band suprises everyone by throwing it back right before they launch into Touch Me I'm Sick. At one point, Mark tells the audience that they can't aim. Immediately after that he catches a mudball in the face. The rain eases up a bit during the course of their set, but then starts dumping when they finish. The band laughs on their way to their warm, dry trailer, thought they are covered in mud by this point. During their set, L7 did their part to dissuade mudball's when their drummer took the tampon that she was using and threw it out at the crowd.9/21/92 Red Rocks. Morrison, CO

Notes: Blinding Sun is performed for the first known time. During Dead Love, Mark goes out into the crowd, and Matt picks up his guitar and tries to finish the song. Before The Money Will Roll Right in, Steve shows Kurt how to play the song. The crowd moving about kicks up a dust cloud so bad that Mark ends up coughing up black matter.9/27/92 "Rock for Choice Benefit". Palladium. Hollywood, CA

Encore: Over the Top, The Money will Roll..., Hate the Police, Touch Me I'm Sick, Fix Me
Notes: Mark starts off the show by introducing 'If I Think,' with "This is a song off the Singles soundtrack. [The Mudhoney song on that record is 'Overblown.' The album had been released that summer and was still pretty popular in the fall. A little banter after 'When Tomorrow Hits:' Mark: "Hey, Matt, tell a story." Matt: "So I says to Mark, 'That's not my finger either!'" Matt introduces 'Make it Now' as, "This is a song we wrote about [mumbles] marijuana!" They also introduce 'Hate the Police:' Matt: "This song's called 'Penis!'" Mark: "It's actually called 'Hate the Police.'" Matt: "It's called 'Hate Your Penis!'" Steve: "It's called 'Rip the Pope Limb from Fucking Limb, Man.'" They finish the song, and Mark calls for 'Fix Me,' but Steve has other ideas. Steve starts playing 'Touch Me I'm Sick,' forcing the other guys to join in. This is atypical for their all-covers encores of the era. Mark isn't playing guitar, it's a bit slowed down, and Mark is thrown off on his timing, squeezing two lines into the space of one line. They get through two verses and choruses, and end it where they'd normally go into the solo. Steve: "That's a little punk rock cover called 'Touch Me I'm Sick.' The next one's a Black Flag cover called 'Fix Me.'" They finish, and Matt bids the crowd goodnight with, "[Disappointed] We've gotta go. It's a 12 o'clock curfew. So, have a good night, and everybody take off their shirts and rub together." Mudhoney might have played a show with Eugenius and The Celibate Rifles near Delaware around this show. Mudhoney booked several shows with The Celebate Rifles around this time.10/31/92 City Gardens. Trenton, NJ

Notes: 'I'm Spun' is performed for the first known time. After 'Into the Drink,' Matt addresses the crowd with whatever is on his mind while either Mark or Steve stands in the dark and plays a bit of The Beatles' 'I Want You (She's So Heavy).' After 'This Gift,' Steve and Dan fool around on a riff for a few seconds, prompting Steve to tell the crowd that they've just learned a new song, 'She's On it.' Matt then goes, "we learned a song? I don't know it. How does it go?" When they come out after the encore break, Matt announces that they're going to play a song called 'Lukin on Cocaine.' After thinking for a second, he renames it 'Big Man on Cocaine.' During the song, Matt sings while Mark plays bass. When it finishes, he remarks, "we did it in Vancouver better."12/4/92 The Palladium. Hollywood, CA

We didn't play this show, the Supersuckers were in that slot. But allowed backstage, I chided Mark Arm about a prior gig where they had Keith Morris, Ron Reyes and Dez Cadena [all of Black Flag] all get up to sing that song with them. I told em if they wanted to really bring the house down in front of an LA crowd, they needed to get me to sing with them. To my surprise he took me up on it, and the first time I ever performed to more than 1,000 people must have been this night, as the co lead singer for just under a minute."12/5/92 Soma.

Notes: Mark opens with, "it sure is great to be gay and living in Tulsa." You Got it falls apart during the second verse, so Steve begins again, and they jump in right where they left off. The Money Will Roll Right in is performed much mellower than normal. When Tomorrow Hits is introduced by Mark with, "now we're going to play a real kick-ass rock 'n' roll song." Matt has bass troubles all night, and after No End in Sight is fooling around on his bass, trying to figure out what's wrong. Mark says, "great solo. Mr. light man, put a spotlight on Matt Lukin... Hey, Matt. Your amp is OK, it's your hearing that's going." Mark then begins to tells the crowd that Matt is gay. Matt says that he could be home playing Gameboy instead of dealing with this, and Mark jokes, "yeah, GameBOY," to which Matt says, "yeah, like I didn't see that one coming up Sixth Avenue." At that point, Dan plays the drum fill that's done after a cheesy joke. Mark goes, "I just flew in from Pheonix, and boy are my arms tired." Dan does the drum fill again, and goes straight into Dead Love.12/10/92 Trees. Dallas, TX
