niall mcgurk is the man with the attendance sheet for that one
I was at that one too.
I was there and I'd say the attendance was about 30 people support band included.

how did you manage it? I couldn't get in.
I was a student in UCD at the time. I heard that the Ents pricks in both colleges had a mutual arrangement where they let each other into each others gigs for free. I pretended I was an Ents prick from UCD, and the TCD ents prick let me in.
I've never even heard of the Top Hat.
I have a pile of photos of that. All blurry terribleness, but still. What a gig! I have refused to see them post-reformation on the basis that they would never top that.Given this is now more than twenty years ago, and some chaps on here are roughly the same age as me, and pivotal moments in secondary school music discovery, who here was at this:
At the Drive-In, Temple Bar Music Centre on December 10th, 2000

I had a Kreator T-shirt for a few years in my early teens. No idea where it came from or where it went afterwards. I’ve never listened to Kreator or even known anyone who does. I’ve never solved the mystery of that T-shirt.The 3 gigs I was at in the top hat:
Metallica & Danzig October 4th 1988
Sepultura & ? November 1990
Kreator & Death 1990
I only recently found out that Death performed without Chuck Schuldiner.

I’m fairly sure I was at that kreator/death top hat gig but have no recollection of it. Metallica twice, wasp, ozzy, slayer & nuclear assault, faith no more & prong, anthrax, onslaught & crumbsuckers, suicidal tendencies & M.O.D. I think I was at sepultura as well. Seems unlikely that I wouldn’t have been.The 3 gigs I was at in the top hat:

That is because you are the pure head of Jim O'Rourke if I remember correctly from some Thumped event.I have a pile of photos of that. All blurry terribleness, but still. What a gig! I have refused to see them post-reformation on the basis that they would never top that.
Also, loads of people got turned away for being underage at that, I was only 17 but managed to get in without being ID'd.
Agreed. Certainly their emergence was a gateway, and also noticed a shift in the music mags covering more angular, noisy stuff too...I was at it. It was life changing.
Murder City Devils supported and some band from the North... Clearspot...or shot? I think Clearshot? also played Witnness around then. Murder City Devils did nothing for me.I was at it, I thought they were awful. The band I was in at the time was asked to play it too,but we turned it down .
