Any of you nerds going to check this show out? It will be my first show since moving to Portland so I'm pretty excited! It bums me out that the merch table is going to be scarce.
I will be there............ :shock:
I'll be there as well!
Gee, wonder if I'll make it..............

Merch may be scarce, but your getting the Buzz and Dale duo treatment, so be happy about that. :)
Sounds kinda' like a MELVINS porno.................. :-k

Damn Dranas, can you follow the A's on ComCastSportsNet - CA, up there?

Like most of you still wouldn't be happy about that.
I'm not sure about my last place A's on cable here? I have a friend who has the MLB package here but it's like pulling teeth trying to get him to sit through an A's game. I do watch the games when they play Seattle down at the bars! The Portland Beaver's have a super cool stadium here. I was able to check out the Rivercats when they came through. GO A's!!
I've already have seen the Melvins as a two piece... It was only my second Melvins show ever at a place called The Smell in downtown Los Angeles. It must have been right after they kicked Mark out... I remember it only cost five bucks and it was some type of benefit show. I got Buzz to sign my stag cd cover and I pretty much made an ass of myself asking questions. Felt like a total dork after that one!
So I was checking online for a box office for the Roseland and I could not find anything. Do I HAVE to get a tix through ticketwest?
Anyone going to the BB show at Dante's the night before?

River Cats, sweet!
Who was on the roster when you saw them?
Casilla?
Eveland?
Gallagher?
Gio? - fuck him :wink:
Barton?
Cunningham?
Gallagher was sp, Barton was sucking as usual, Powell hit a hr, Rivercats lost... Was hoping to see Mazzaro pitch. The game started at 11:35 and there was a bunch of A's fans in attendance. The AAA all star game is here this year so I'm going to check that out.
Has anyone seen a show at Roseland? I heard it holds up to 1400 people... Largest venue on the tour?

I don't mind Barton. Beane has a hard on for Gallagher, I have yet to see him pitch a good game. I missed his start several games ago..I guess he kicked ass. I can't stand Gio. The kid starts missing his marks and then gets all worked up, he soon folds and turns to shit.
I'm suprised the 'Cats lost.
The All star game would be cool to catch.
I think I wandered into the baseball thread..........
:P
Back on topic........I'm almost recovered from the last two nights in Seattle. See some of ya in a few hours.
missed show since law school number 3......eat my fuck x( BUT! I hope it is rad :)
PS A full song by song setlist would be much appreciated. I can at least burn myself a disc or two of the set to make going to work more pleasant. 8)
Just got home. I think tonight was the best of the shows I've seen in the last 10 days.
Oh, and the great news. There was a 4 camera setup doing proshot for Ipecac. They filmed it all. Expect a Melvins live dvd in the future! I mean, that is what you would expect to expect, right? EDIT** This thing was filmed, but it surely isn't a for sure thing. BUT, it was filmed. I'll leave the guessery up to you.
They had two static cams, and two roamers. One guy stayed pretty much on Dale and Mike all night. Ehren, from Jackass, was one of the guys shooting. No Jackassery, just Melvins. I saw him up front and on the stage many times getting closeups.
As for the show itself, it was pretty much the same except for Dales brother ( That's what they said anyway) came out for Spread Eagle Beagle. The crowd tonight was also MUCH livelier than NY, Boston, or Seattle. There were some problems all night it seemed with Dales kit. He adjusted the snare a lot during songs, and Moss had to come out to fix one of the cymbal stands it looked like.
The poster was gorgeous as well.

Very nice!
If the Melvins were going to put out a live DVD a 25th anny. show would be a good reason(part of the box set?) I hope so for the sake of us poor slobs that can only read about how good it's all been. Along with all the other live stuff we've missed over the years(I can't for the life of me figure out how those torrents work and youtube clips are just a tease).
i forgot one of my homies does booking at the roseland. i think. i might have heard wrong.
Definitely one of the best performances I've seen (both in terms of setlist and energy).
I loved hearing Black Bock live for the first time.
Buzz seemed to be in a really jovial mood and thanked the crowd multiple times.
I noticed during Lizzy Buzz changed the lyrics to, "Elvis had a daughter, and then he died on the Toilet". Also Sky Pup had completely different lyrics as well.
Loved the fact there were no openers, barely any breaks and as always no encore.
Just 2 hours straight of pure Melvins bliss.
Oh by the way, did anyone recognize the third drummer on Spread Eagle Beagle?
Joe Plummer from Modest Mouse.
I think he lives in Portland.

I thought they said "Ed Crover" :lol:
I didn't think he looked much like a Crover.

I like how they mess around with Sky Pup's lyrics. About 2 years ago Melvins (duo) played right after Circle Jerks' set, so there were a bunch of punks in the audience. During Sky Pup some of the lyrics were changed to lyrics that poked fun at the punk scene. It was pretty hilarious, especially since I was with a bunch of punk rockers.
