The Hurting is still one of my all time faves.
Right before their second album (Songs from the Big Chair) was released, some of the band came in to the record store I worked at, and put us on the comp list.
Got a signed promo 12" of one of the singles (probably "Shout") somewhere.
Somewhat memorable, as we were in the VIP box, but the show was completely canned and performed with barely any attempt at stage presence (that was back when synthesizers were still mistakenly assumed to be completely captivating in their own right).
