Feb 10, 2008 - AMAZING--i didn't know this existed. i was in athens/atlanta during this period, and i saw some of the greatest bands and heard some of the greatest music, especially at 688. i was one lucky man.

Feb 16, 2008 - i have the video tape from 1986. still watch it. the FLAT DUO JETS were awesome. it captures the way athens used to be, but is very different today.

May 27, 2008 - saw many of these bands at 40 watt from 1984-1988. good times. damn, i miss bar-b-q killers.

GingerAleRain Says:

Jun 8, 2008 - Dexter lived in Athens for quite awhile. Some classic stories of his "existance" there can be found if you look hard enough. Suffice it to say it took a steel stomach and affinity for grime to roll the way D.R. did it back in the day.

Jun 20, 2008 - Wow. UGA 1968-72 and was back 81-85. What a place and what a time. Seems like yesterday. I still go back every chance I get and it is still a very special place

bhughes14arc Says:

Jan 4, 2009 - Athens still has a pretty thtriving music scene. With venues like the 40 watt, the Georgia Theater, and the Flicker Theater among others there is a good show almost every night downtown. Nationally known bands today like The Whigs and Perpetual Groove call Athens home.
