Best sounding club
I'd put Mississippi Studios just ahead of Doug Fir. But Doug Fir is the best sounding Portland club we'll get to see the Melvins in.
Word up.
I was dead center in front of the soundboard on the bottom step. The mix was crystal! Highlights for me were very venue and crowd related. Besides the beautiful sound, I was very pleased with being able to see, lack of jostling and shoving, the venue did not get super hot where I was, the crowd was less filled with drunken morons than is the norm from what I could tell. Everyone who snapped up a ticket was a true believer and happy to be there on a Wednesday night.
I accidently missed Toshi, he must have played for 10 minutes. Red Kross put a real smile on my face. THAT is Power Pop.
As far as Melvins, the set wasnt one of my faves. Last few times have seen them blast through short/punky/poppy and then end with the sludge. It was nice to hear civilized again, but for me the set really came alive with the finale of disgust/blessened/bit/teeth. Buzz was wailing all Hendrixy, and I really love Steven's playing on those songs. Dale was just a treasure.
Parked down the road in front of La Luna/Pine Street and had a super nostalgia moment for all of the great shows in the 90s we saw. Woke up with a bangover and didnt even do much headbanging. I know im out of shape but pushin 40 is pushin 40, so please you lovely old men, stay healthy! I want to see you every year for another decade! PDX Melvins show #19 in the books.
All I gotta say is the Melvins should play the Doug Fir every time they are in town...Fucking great show!
I was probably standing next to you Black Santa, the wife and I were on the stairs just a bit to the right of center!
Haha i think so, i was groovin in a pierced arrows shirt on the bottom step middle. I think your wife bumped me at one point and apologized, and I was like its all good! I agree, best venue i've seen them in.

I was right behind you both, recording from the booth.

Excellent...Can't wait to see the results!
I swear there were about 12 dudes recording besides you and Kilgore :lol:
Yeah, can't wait to see/hear the results :)
Seems like there was a fairly healthy Boardie presence in Portland. That's good to see.
DF is MY personal fav venue in town; was beyond stoked to catch the MIGHTY melvins there, one for the ages- let's hope they play there again 🤞
