Three hours before doors open and it's raining.

Outdoor venue. Fuck.

Melvins doing sound checks. Just finished Don't Forget to Breathe. Talking Horse now. It's outdoor venue so sound is clear as day.

What times have the shows been?

Doors at 1830, done by 2145.  Can the Mohawk not make noise after 2200?

How long did All Souls play?

Hou-stoned the doors are at 1900, that is pushing it for me from work to get up there in time.

You're right on about the curfew. All Souls will go on in about 20 min.

All Souls played for 45 min. The drummer is a beast.

Great show. Having two bassists was overkill, but oh well. It was good to see Pinkus again.

Setlist was the same as the one someone posted for San Diego.

Jeff and Steve screwed up the bass parts on the last song, Eye Flys. It was unexpected.

Merch table was same as in SD, except there was a hand-drawn poster specific to Austin.

I know they are out of the Pinkus haze tour edition lps. They still have the Pinkus cd box sets? Or GPT lps?

No, I didn't see either of them. Sorry.

The only opener was All Souls.

I didn't stick around for the bands on the inside stage. I had a 2-hour drive in front of me!

Not a big deal. I thought it was cool, actually. Being early in the tour. I was like, "Melvins made a mistake??!"  Haha

I did, it was pretty awesome.  The heavy parts were heavy.  The groovy parts were groovy.  I was hard to stand the crushing weight of the first two song, Let It All Be was the best, and Eye Flys was tolerable.  Two thumbs up.

It was my first time to hear Let It All Be in their set.  Awesome.

I liked how Dale stood up during The Bit intro.
