My buddy and I drove 756 miles to see the show in Missoula, MT. And it was worth every mile. We were front row center the whole show. Men Of Porn opened with one song: SUCCULENTO. Dale did the drum work. Then Big Business came on and played alot of new stuff. Dale also played guitar for Easter Romantic and a couple others. Then The Melvins totally blew me away. I was lucky enough to get the set list.
1. The Talking Horse
2. Bloated Pope
3. Civilized Worm
4. Oven
5. Set Me Straight/OCH
6. Sky Pup

16. Hooch

best first post ever.
PORN opened, sweet. Who played bass?? 756 miles, now that's dedication. I looked up the venue and it looked sweet. I would have killed to have been at that show. Very small venue, how many people were there, was it packed? Did you get to talk with Buzz and Dale?
Yes, we drove 756 miles (Bismarck, ND to Missoula) to see this one. As it so happened we could not make it to any of the other shows, so we thought, "what the hell." The Other Side could not have been any better to see this show. The atmosphere was great and the people were wonderful. About three hundred showed up (and we were numbers 1 and 2 in line).
Came in and went straight to the merch counter counter to pick up some albums. Talked to Moss for a bit, he called us "suckers" for comming (but with a big 'ol grin on his face). Saw BB and Dale walking around a bit. Didn't talk to them at all as they looked pretty busy.
From our vantage point at the front of the stage we could see the guys hanging out back stage. Buzz was standing there towel slapping Dale laughing his ass off...Moss came up from behind and grabbed Dale and Buzz started punching him in the belly...good stuff.
When porn came on it was Moss, Dale, and Billy Anderson performing. Got to meet Anderson after the show (he ran sound while the Melvins were on). Good times were had. Wouldn't have traded it for the world.
Oh yeah, while waiting out side we could hear them warming up with POTRE...
...good on ya "B" for getting the drop on me!
What merchandise did they have?
Damn, Porn with Billy Anderson playing, that is fucking awesome! I hope to see Porn, but never entertained the idea that Anderson would actually be on bass, hopefully he sticks around for another week at least.
Billy "Silly" Anderson!

too bad they don't drop a few songs that probably everyone has seen them play before (eg. let it all be, revolve and the bit) to make way for POTRE in the set.
since they didn't tour that album down here, i really hope if they tour for this album they play that song.
don't wish let it all be out of the mix!
yeah, it sounds BITHCIN live!(Let it all be)
The Melvins can play whatever they want when I see them.
any word on Altamont joining the fray yet?
Billy wasn't even in this hemisphere when this show happened. You met someone...but it wasn't Billy.

From their new MySpace bulletin:
QuoteAltamont singer, guitar player/Melvins singer, drumer Dale Crover is on a long tour for Melvins. They will be the east coast this month. Therefore, Altamont has not much stuff to do besides writing new songs for right now. We might join the Melvins tour late Novenmber. Not sure!!!

how about changing that to early november. or novenmber if that's what suits them.
not sure if he knew what the hell he was talking about, but the merch guy told me that dale joining BB on stage w/ guitar is being considered altamont.
personally I think he was speaking from his anus. if they were considered altamont I would think they might actually play an altamont song.
That ain't no damn Altamont. Dale's just playing the guitar part that you can hear on the BB CD tracks. Sounds pretty good too. Altamont is Toshi, Dale and Dan.

No, someone else played guitar on the studio tracks on head for the shallow, it wasn't Dale. But, he's covering the guitar parts for BB on the tour.

(previously stated) Just As The Day Was Dawning with Dale on guitar was the cats tetons.
I didn't expect dale to rock out so much and have so much personality.
same with when he played with porn, he was clowning it up bigtime.
and.... I totally agree smellis.

and.... I totally agree smellis. I spent a decent amount of time talking to their merch guy. he was a really nice guy but didn't seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer. when he said that to me I wanted to say "BULLSHIT!" but I did not. he's with the tour, I am but a mear fanboy. what makes me an authority?
'Common' knowledge?

totally. I think you are absolutely correct. but what was I supposed to do? start arguing with the merch guy and telling him he is wrong?
Come on, he's a merch guy! What does he know? Nothing! Also, I think he spread his truth to some poster designers or something, don't you think?

actually I think the boys weren't able to narrow down exactly who would join the tour exactly when. so they just blanketed ALL showbills with every name possible. including "special guests" just in case.
shit, at the GR show it says altamont, porn ,big business, ghostigital, melvins, special guests. all we got was ghostigital, big business and melvins. should I request 50% of my money back?
if there is any doubt about billy anderson playing in missoula.
my first post and i fuck up. it wasnt billy. sorry. gotta correct myself before richie gt rips me. i was misled and went with it. i think i just wanted it to be . i better get my facts straight before i spray again cuz you guys are on it.

Personally I thought some of the parts were completely butchered. He tended to overplay. There is an Easter Romantic video on youtube which is pretty accurate.

Obviously, you have no idea who Altamont and Big Business are! It's Big Business playing Big Business songs, Dale was cool enough to play the extra noise and guitar parts!

My bad, not too funny though.
some other people have made the same mistake since it says altamont on all
the posters to date, but there hasn't been one altamont song performed ha!
