I walked in to Tarpit! Maybe the guy was fucking with me…or didn’t know what he was talking about…
I missed "I Don’t Wanna Go There" and am pissed! The guy next to me told me they opened with it and I couldn’t believe it cuz it looked like this tour was going to be all old stuff based on the set lists…
Great show! They leaned heavily on the Beyond stuff and it sounded great! The 7" singles are indeed at the merch table,…just walk up, they mark your ticket and hand you the vinyl,…although I recommend you wait till after the show so you don’t have to carry it around all night…weird crowd last night. 10 kids -very young- decided to slam dance for most of the show…that was funny. And on the other side of the stage, a guy was throwing cups of ice at J. That did not go well. J was pissed. Anyway, they caught him half way through the show and two bouncers picked hin up and threw him -literally- out the backdoor exit. The sound was great except the monitors were picking up a radio station that you could clearly hear between songs…I thought it was a better show than last time they came through. It was less of a retrospective set list but they seemed to enjoy playing the newer stuff more so that was fine with me. Opened up with "I Don’t Wanna Go There," then ripped through a lot off Beyond. "Forget The Swan" was a highlight, as was "Repulsion" and "Crumble." Mascis absolutely ripped the solo of "Pick Me Up" in a million different directions and frets for over five minutes during the song’s coda and that was one of my favorite moments. They tied thigs up with "Just Like Heaven." Wonderful show, glad I made the trip through the storm from Rochester…cause I was hedging a bit when I saw the weather warning. They have a new t-shirt with the graphic from the 7" with tour dates on the back…I really like it….got one. 20 clams.
Thanks…the Buffalo show is tmrw.!!! Can’t wait…the 7" is a nice little extra more bands should try…def. going with the record over the download,…nice little collectible and I can convert it to digital myself…
