Headed to the airport. I'm told that Boise is a decent town and that the Nuerolux is a neat little venue. We shall see.

I'll do my best. I'm on a budget, so I can't promise anything. I kind of tapped myself out getting other folks stuff in Seattle and PDX! I'll pm ya later.

if anything, i appreciate the extremely prompt response...and ill look for the PM later. also last night in portland i tried to get a shirt a the end of the show but Walsby was pretty much packed and he wouldnt sell me or this other dude a shirt....real bummer and i like i said im sending it to someone
So far, this is a cool little venue and an awesome staff.
ive always wanted to see the melvins in smaller populated areas/venues- i.e. idaho, alaska, montana
Boise is an interesting crowd. I'll post more tomorrow. I have to get up early to get outta town.
Where the hell were you Suck Poppet? Didn't see Grim either.
So...Boise was interesting. Easily the smallest crowd I've seen at a Melvins show ever. I would wager that the Nuerolux held about 250 or so and it was about 1/2 full. And about 1/2 of them didn't seem to care that a live band was playing. Even though they paid to get in. I don't get it.
Tweak Bird started it off and just blew me away. I've been listening for years and this was first chance to see them live. Such powerful and beautiful songs.
Big Biz, after some monitor rearranging started and played a 40 or so minute set that was fantastic. Battlefields is great live. I think they left out "Into The Light", the b side of the Battlefields 7 inch. They had played it previously. At least in Portland they did.
Trevor took the stage first as usual, and then Buzz and Dale joined. Same set as mentioned. It won't change. Things to note. The crowd only really reacted strongly to Hooch. I saw maybe 10 pairs of hands go up on the opening drumbeat. It was weird. That's really as animated as the crowd got. I saw some people dancing during the Freak Puke tunes, but most of the crowd seemed sedate and confused. After seeing the Seattle and Portland shows, it was strange seeing a small crowd trying to figure them out. Those of us in the Washington, Oregon, and California dates are lucky I think. Crowd energy equals band energy most times. The crowd just wasn't there for Boise. But they played the full set without care and it was great.
Go, and give them some energy and money, without being a drunk tool. Boise seemed to have a few of those too. A couple apes acted like they'd never seen a video camera before. But one couple whom I talked to were the coolest people at the place. Some good, some bad I guess.

When you post video I will point out my bald spot (it's not bald, it's thinning!) near the front of the crowd. I saw a camera and assumed that was you idlehanz. I kinda see what you were saying about the crowd, though I myself screamed in childish glee when I realized they were starting with eye flys, having deliberately avoided any info on the setlist. Last tour when they played bacon industry and sacrifice it was amazing, but it would have been even better to be surprised you know? Melvins just keep getting better every time I see them. Once again I could not hear singing of Big Business no matter where in the venue I went. I am starting to think the sound guy has a grudge because all the times I've seen them there I have never been able to hear the vocals. Tweak Bird was also amazing of course, I bought a cool green and yellow record from the singer, and like Melvins Lite I could hear the singing just fine. Also Buzz's story about taking acid and going to boise jail in 1986 was news to me, and the most I've ever seen him talk at any show I've attended. Did he do the suicide bit at every show or was that just for us?

Scott wasn't very happy with how their vox came out either.
That was just for Boise.

It was known as Gryzor over here for some reason. Still call it Contra anyway
as everyone knows this is def a top10 NES game, maybe even top 5 in some people's opinions-SO CLASSIC
im not hating but was the CONTRA pic really that hard to make out?
You geeks know there is a geek thread, right? :P
yaa i guess this Boise thread has gotten quite OFF topic
