Two of the best live shows I've ever seen. Incredible. Review later.

Both amazing shows, the band was on fire and seems very happy to be here. Cool crowd too, and of course a great place to be (le Trabendo is really a super stage)
First part (Lysol/Egg Nog/Houdini) was really the Jared Show :lol: it was my favorite part, I've been really blown away
Love the Lividity part on the second show, I was really excited to see them playing this tune in particulary.

And yes, Dale Crover is a god
Looking at those photos makes it seem like it was just yesterday. :) This was the best time I've ever had in Paris. Combination of two of the best gigs I've ever been to and two of the coolest people I've ever met (M. et Mme Zorn).
The first part of the first set of the first night was astonishing. About what seemed like 15 minutes into the music, I happened to glance at the setlist and grinned at it still being the first song. Love it when that happens. Charmicarmicat into Hung Bunny was what happens when arguably the best two songs ever written get segued into each other and what happens when Bhuddists reach their 13th shakra or whatever it is.
The second (Houdini) set was marred only by someone trying to get on the stage, but he was put in his place as you can see from Salvador's video.
The second night was atmospherically different inasmuch as everyone was hung over to start with so it all seemed a bit calmer audience-wise. The cobwebs had gone by the time Stoner Witch started, though!
There might be a professional vid coming out of this - historically the French gigs have had awesome footage recorded, it looked like the same might be happening here, too.......
Thoroughly heavy.

I felt exactly the same when I saw the Residency shows.. The Lysol/Eggnog set was one of the greatest things I have ever seen live... (Houdini was no slouch either.. Elevated Art Rock)

Thanks Oscar!
Anytime.
Watch the boys handle an idiot stagediver with authority during Lizzy.
judging from some videos i watched, it was a monster show. Buzzo in particular had a killer sound and perfect attitude on stage,hard to find a better guitarist around

He was really playing "in your face" style, he was magnificent to watch. And Crover, god this man is incredible...
Best band ever

i agree
Both nights were awesome. Can't remember everything, but: Lysol/Eggnog set was amazing. Charmicarmicat as an intro was so long I wondered if they were trying to tease the crowd until it went mad! And it was at least as loud as long, so I let you get the ear-destruction thing by yourself... Favorite set of the first night, it was a fucking blast, even if the Houdini set was as good; a majority of people waiting for it, it was a bit too moshy for me (Parisian crowd as always). Didn't see much of Buzz on day one from where I was (in front of Dale & Jared); sometimes I couldn't hear enough of the guitar due to the amps position. Jared played really great, as Dale did; he was a monster (and yes, he's God). As Oscar mentioned it for the Berlin shows, Coady was sort of following Dale on that night, probably due to illness; I remember him being "drum-killed" by Dale at the end of Houdini set during the drum battle of Spread Eagle Beagle (he had a look that seemed to tell "well, what can I do now..?"). This being said, nobody can say he was playing bad! Just a bit less in shape than usual. Jared's drumming was hilarious.
Another "stay off the stage" intervention by Dale followed by Buzz was a highlight moment, even if I thought they were really going to stop the show. I really liked the way they handled the situation and totally agree with what Buzz said.
Highlight for Joan of Arc too, I was so happy to hear my favorite song from Houdini live; it's almost even better watching it on the replay! Damn so loud.
Second night was even more amazing, maybe due to our position (the barrier, right in front of both drums - ouch); too bad it wasn't recorded too. The Bullhead set was incredible, and the crowd was incredibly quiet during it, waiting for the Stoner Witch set as on the first evening (and probably had a hangover, the heaviness of Bullhead being hard to stand :D). Coady was definitely way more into his drumming, recovered from his food poisoning. Each track of the first set was perfectly played, better than on the record!
Stoner Witch set was also great. Lividity was just tremendous; I wanted to kill the guy who shouted "REVOLVE" during the fucking music lesson they were giving. Didn't like that much Revolve by the way; I had the feeling half of the crowd was there to hear it, which kinda sucks. The whole set, as Bullhead, was perfect; highlight for June Bug which was a blast too! But every song deserves a highlight, so...
I wish Jared and Coady had a bit more vocal parts: they had less than usual, probably due to the albums that were played; but in compensation Dale had more, and was really impressive (he almost sang as much as Buzz, backing almost all of the lyrics!).
Melvins really have the art of dynamic. The atmosphere given off the order of the songs was purely unbelievable and totally controlled; don't know any other band that can do the same. And the sound, beyond being very loud, was astonishing!
Too bad there was no merch at all; all gone at the beginning of the tour... But I had Dale's drumstick, thanks to Scott, so I'm happy (plus I saved up some money because of the no merch land).
Le Trabendo is a fucking good venue. They modified it last year; I prefer the old colors (it was all red back then), but still it rocks, and the beer is not that expensive for Paris (even if it's not cheap).
I met jules before the show, and we had some great times during the week-end. I think everybody knows it over there, but he's a super awesome guy!
Can't wait for the next time.
super review,thanks!

Oh yeah me too, Coady and Dale were very brave to stand up like this during a so long time :lol:

Oh, yeah.... I luckily forgot about that guy, until now. But the biggest asshole of all was the one to destroy the trance of the song completely for me by shouting "Musique!" in the middle of it all.
wow. sounds like a couple of great nights. im jealous!
(sucks about attention whores having to ruing the moment for everyone. fucking hate those people. just shut up and stay off the stage idiots.)

Generally it was only during Houdini that the over-excitement happened. I was really happy that for the rest of the three sets (especially on the second night) people were quiet during the quiet parts. And there were some pretty long quiet parts. I can't imagine that level of audience control happening everywhere, especially in countries where the beer's cheaper.

OH!!!!
In that case I'm not coming down to London.
I was only coming down for the friggin wee moose chessebuger shirts. :cheers:
berlin had the same during "lividity"... screams like "start playing" or "abgefahren" and so on...
buzz sang during lividity repeatedly "how does it feel, redneck?"... he was building it up, getting louder and louder... i thought that was maybe a spontaneous reaction to the stupid screamers...
did he sing that too in paris?
now, after 1 week (i am still amazed), if I had to settle for one highlight per set that would be...
hogleg - joan of arc - if i had an exorcism - magic pig detective
not considering single songs, the 3 short songs from eggnog were a blast (especially right after the crushing slow charmicarmicat/hb/rdb)!
also honey bucket -> night goat -> lizzy -> going blind -> joan of arc almost killed me...
bullhead... really all of it. it felt like it was over in a blink of a moment...
stoner witch... roadbull is still ringing in my head :D
I don't remember any singing during Lividity in Paris, only talented guitar part, but I may have missed something. Besides the two guys who shouted, it was pretty quiet.

Does anyone out there has an idea of how to download this from the website? I've tried several add-ons in Firefox but nothing works. I REALLY would like to keep this moving memory onto my computer as this will disappear in 179 days and 8 hours....I know, still lots of time to figure out how.... but still.
If anyone knows how to, please let me know!
