So yeah, awesome show
Caught half of Melt Banana. Seen them 3 or 4 times (got to open for them once in 97/98) but it was my first time seeing them as a two piece. It was actually really good. Sure a lot is pre-programmed but lots of good atmosphere and Agata is always fun to watch.
Melvins topped themselves once again. I'll echo the already expressed sentiment that Steve is perfect for them. I love his playing style and his vocals and especially his energy. They seemed to play a some of the songs much faster but it was in a good way. Shane came out and did second bass on Night Goat and I almost screamed like a 14 year old at a Justin Beiber concert. Dale ended by leading the crowd in Take Me Out To The Ballgame and then all 4 did the hand in hand bow. Both Mike Dillard and Mike Kunka were there so I was hoping for something special but nothing. Oh well, once again a top notch Melvins set.
Napalm were great. Agreed with sadcorps that they were too loud and I think they need more low end in the mix but I was still happy. They busted out some oldies that made me very happy - Lucid Fairytale, Dead, World Keeps Turning, and my favorite sing along Suffer The Children.
Was awesome hanging with Grim and I saw a bunch of other friends. Well worth the extra cost of going up.
