Title: Melvins 6/26/2010 Madison, WI (HIGH NOON SALOON)
Post by: glowgod on June 28, 2010, 07:17:14 PM
Here is the setlist, the best as I remember it:

   *Set Number 1:

        1. Dueling Banjos (PA walk on music, intro)
        2. Sacrifice
        3. Civilized Worm
        4. Black Stooges
        5. Pig House
        6. Electric Flower
        7. Anaconda
        8. Black Bock
        9. The Kicking Machine
       10. Billy Fish
       11. Skin Horse

Set Number 2:
       12. The Water Glass
       13. Evil New War God
       14. AMAZON
       15. The Talking Horse
       16. Hung Bunny
       17. Roman Bird Dog
       18. Let It All Be
        19. My Generation
       20. Revolve
       21. Bacon Industry
       22. Lovely Butterfly (epic drum off ending)

I think they may have also played "my generation".....This was a dream setlist and a killer performance by the band.   I'm completely deaf and sore (two days later), and it was completely worth the pain and loss of equilibrium.

This band just keeps getting better every time I see them! Best band on the planet.

edit: Updated Setlist with "My Generation"......thanks for refreshing my horrible memory.

Yeah they played My Generation at some point during the second set. I thought it was funny that there was a wedding at the venue beforehand, thought it was kinda weird that someone would get married at a bar. Then Buzz had that funny gay wedding joke that is as follows: Haven't they suffered enough?

My Generation was after Let it All be.  I drove down from Minneapolis for the show, couldn't miss this tour.  I thought High Noon was a great place for a gig, the sound was really good.  Met an old good friend of mine who came in from Milwaukee, the last show we had seen together was the Melvins 4 years ago (Grumpy's w/ DSS on bass), a show that he wasn't too impressed by (I was), but this show blew him away.  He liked Totimoshi, who I also thought were really good live, and the Lysol material and Bacon Industry did it for him.  They played so much that they were gonna do something for everyone.  Highlights for me were Sacrifice, the Bride Screams material, Black Bock and Skin Horse, the crushing AMAZON, and Hung Bunny/Roman Dog Bird.  The Hung Bunny portion was fairly short, almost perfunctory, but Roman Dog Bird just killed me, and during the pause in the middle where they just let the feedback go for a minute or two made the whole show.  I could have closed my eyes and listened to that for ten minutes at least while the tension built.   A real fun time, and it was nice to hang out in Madison again.  Also ran into my friend Joe from up here in Minneapolis, that was surprise.

Those pictures remind me, I hate moshers and stage divers.  Everyone that "stage dove" got up and waited until there was enough people for them to lay on, then they essentially did so.  If you're gonna do it, fucking do it, get on stage and fucking jump, put your trust in the pit and pay your dues.  1983 and 1993 were a long time ago.

One of my friends got onstage at an Anthrax show in Harpos(the stage is way up there) years ago and dove off and not a single soul caught him. He ended up spraining his ankle really bad :lol:

At the Eugene show Jared came out during the break in sets and did a "summer breezes/autumn breezes" solo set. Dale joined him on "stage breezes" with accompanying duo water bottle flute noises finale.    :lol:  Yeah, I'd say 10-15 minutes is about right.   Lots of people went to the bar which allowed us to move up a bit.
