"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
I think peoples idea of a bands prime is different too. I saw Floyd on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour and the Division Bell tour. both were phenomenal shows,. the albums both sold really well.....Momentary Lapse more so.....were they past their prime? I don't know, Waters was not with them but they were selling more tickets than they ever did before the breakup.

Seems you have seen some good shows.
Missing Persons: Was that at Six Flags Magic Mountain? Seems many bands end up there. I saw Modern English and Flock of Seagulls there in '85.
I managed to see Siouxsie on the same tour back in '86 at the Hollywood Palladium. Great show. Got my first bootleg shirt!
Here are some other shows of interest I managed to check out:
Echo And The Bunnymen - Songs to Learn and Sing tour with The Church
The Chameleons - Reunion shows in '03
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights Tour
Silver Apples - Reunion tour with EAR opening up.
Spectrum - Both full band and just Sonic Boom
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen tour This show rocked!!
My Bloody Valentine - Loudest show I've ever been too. Blew away The Who.
The Black Angels - First Seattle show right when they signed up to label.
Luna - Last show ever but saw them before a few times.
Cornershop - Height of their first US album
Calexico - At Bumbershoot
Ozotmoli - At Bumbershoot
Midnight Movies - Opened up for Luna
Gas Huffer - Family friends so we always supported them.
Juno - Family friends so we supported them.
Super Deluxe - Family friends
Screaming Trees - Saw them in Bellingham at the 3B's.
Dismemberment Plan - opened up for Juno.
Bauhaus - Reunion tour
Peter Murphy - Toured with The Church and Tom Verlaine
Love And Rockets - First US tour. BEST SHOW EVER!
Jealous of my ex who saw the up coming bands before they made it big. She saw Nirvana before they made it big, Pearl Jam, Green River, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden(Playing at a pizzeria and kegger) and a ton of Seattle bands,
