I probably said this already somewhere in this thread but I was lucky enough to catch them on their reunion tour at the Academy (NYC), opening for Liz Phair just after Exile came out (1994).  They blew Phair away and were kind of overwhelmed by the positive response.  At one point in the middle of the set, the applause was so loud that Ana got confused and said "Thanks but we're not done yet!" (maybe thinking that the crowd was just warming up for Phair). A very moving moment for sure.  They later came out with Phair and did an encore with her ("Flower"), which was really sweet too.
