Title: Philadelphia, PA TLA
Post by: KingBee2010 on June 18, 2010, 10:51:51 AM
Amazing show. Melvins headlines and came on around 9:30. Place had to have been sold out, it was packed. Didn't memorize the set list but they played most of the songs from TBSM. They led off with their take on Flipper's Sacrifice. Evil New World God & Pig House really stood out. The Water Glass, Pig House, The Talking Horse, Blood Witch, Civilized Worm, Billy Fish, etc. Worst part was that two beers cost $20.

Get out and see them.

Ten Dollar Beers!! That's worse than Manhattan Prices.  Christ that's worse than Festival prices.
-They should be ASHAMED of themselves. But to do so would probably take time away from counting all that money.

Did the OP realize the Melvins didn't headline?

I looked into TLA when my brother sent me a text in complete panic.
All I can say is you will pay that much for a beer at a Philly's game.

No the Melvins were not the headliner, but they sounded great as usual. Same set list as other shows since ISIS joined the tour. Beers big and small were explensive, thats why you got to go to Mako's or somewhere else preshow. We were getting PBR cans for a buck each.  Just a side note I'm big on this technology stuff it just took me 2 hours to burn the show from Athens GA. Does anyone have a copy of a show from the HAT tour, when they were closing the shows with Anti-Verman Seed?

Never thought I would see so many drunken bros dancing and air guitaring to the Melvins.  Despite my prior pessimism Isis played a really tight set that reminded me why I was such a fanatic at a time.
