Helmet came onto my radar via the song “Unsung” from the album Meantime. My friends and I loved Helmet from that point on and picked up copies of both Betty and Aftertaste the day they came out. Needless to say this was a very exciting show for me. My first time seeing Helmet and my first time at the Casbah. It is a quintessential small rock palace that I would estimate holds about 200 people tops. I think it was Marvin, Dee and I. I cannot remember exactly what Helmet played but they had just released the album Size Matters about a month and a half before this show. I want to say they divided up the setlist pretty evenly amongst the five albums out up to this point but I was drinking and smoking and am pretty far removed from this day at the time of this entry so who knows. I do know they rocked.
