Newcastle Academy May 15th

[Yeah Right]

I doubt there are any FS posters going to this one? it’s the closest they’ve played to my home town so I’m kind of stoked. Although I’d miss the feeling of travelling to get to the show so I’m going to go to the Glasgow gig too. Anyone?

I’m going, ticket bought and hoping to get a few friends from Newcastle along too. I don’t think they have played the North East since they reformed so they should draw a decent crowd. Northern crowds always seem louder than those down south (where I last saw Dinosaur Jr play) so should be a great atmosphere.

[Yeah Right]

Yeah the closest they’ve is played so far is Glasgow… or maybe Manchester, whichever’s closer. The North East isn’t exactly a hot spot for Dino fans but hopefully it’ll be a big enough and loud enough crowd to make them come back.

[Yeah Right]

Just hit me that I’ll be seeing Dino & BTS in a few hours. Usually I have the journey to wherever as a build up. Stoked.

[Yeah Right]

I’m rubbish at remembering setlists but it was something like…

Thumb
Pieces
Imagination blind
Outthere
Forget the swan
Raisans
Over it
Freakscene

Just like heaven
Sludgefeast

I have a few photos to post… No Murph again.

[Yeah Right]

And no blue Farm hoodies

[chris2159]

I thought they were pretty great considering they were soldiering on without Murph and had a stand in drummer. Anyone know who their temporary drummer is? And whether he plays in another band?

I am pretty bad at remembering set lists too but have noted down what I can remember.

Set list from memory and not in the right order

Thumb
Budge
(can’t remember the third one –might have been No Bones)
Imagination blind
Pieces
Out there
Feel the Pain
Over it
Freak Scene
Raisons
The Wagon
Forget the Swan

Just Like Heaven
Sludgefest

It’s Kyle Spence….he played in the last touring incarnation of the Fog.

[Yeah Right]

They definately played no bones but I think it was a little later on. I’m gutted Murph wasn’t there but on the plus side I’ve almost seen The Fog :-p

Have to give a shout out for Built To Spill too, Dinosaur always have sweet guests but this was the business.

Kyle also plays in Harvey Milk, Fiddlehead and The Tom Collins, they’re all from Athens.
