Wow, seriously wow! It's hard to find the exact word to describe the intensity of the show, and for those of you who've seen them on this tour so far, you know exactly what I'm saying.
My friend Kellee, and I thought we were running really late because we didn't make it up to Ft. Collins til about 8:15, but when we got inside there was only a handful of people there - the show didn't actually get going until 9:30ish. I went to the merch booth right away and got the posters, which John said is supposedly 3-D if you got the glasses to see it with. He really is such an awesome guy, he'll cut deals on stuff, and hold your shit for you til the show is thru, and he said he'd hold two posters for me for the Denver show since only 121 were printed. He said he remembered Hanz, remembered him as "the dude from Montesano". After the show I went back because they had stickers, which I had never seen. He said they were just handed to him that night, and they were being sold in a set of three for $5, with a Porn sticker thrown in for free. He sold me three sets for $10.
So the show finally got started around 9:30 with the POD screening. I really liked the movie, the soundtrack is great and I love the little character. I didn't recognize any of Dalek's stuff until that night, and when I realized I'd seen the creature before from a friend who had found a framed Dalek print in the trash a few months back.
Big Business came on about 15 min. after the movie ended, and by that time I had made my way up to the very front, and got a nice spot right in front of Jared. Toshi was on guitar, and Dale joined them towards the end for Easter Romantic and Evil Midevil. Their set was incredible, except for a few mess ups from Jared. My friend is completely smitten with Coady, she had her eyes fixed on him the entire night. :love:
Melvins came next, set list was exactly the same. I wanted to keep my prime spot in the front, and was determine to for as long as I could handle the madness behind me. It wasn't too bad at first, and this cute redhead named Cherry claimed a spot next to me, and was helping me keep ahold of our spot, up until some tweekers came up there and started going crazy. My friend Kellee got hit in the head with a bottle, but she was alright. Then during Lizzie, those people went insane and that girl Cherry got knocked down, the tweekers got all spastic and just trampled all over her. Her dress got torn and boobs came flying out, she got cut up pretty bad too because of all sorts of broken glass on the ground. The tweekers ended up getting kicked out, and one of their friends tried starting a fight with Cherry's boyfriend after the show. That whole situation kinda killed the good vibe I had going the entire night. It was hard to get back into the show after that big distraction.
I have to agree with Hanz that Mechanical Bride really works well live, that and BoDF were my favorite songs. I got some great pics that I will try to get posted soon. At the end of the show, Buzz and Jared left the stage, and Coady came to the front of the stage with a golf club and ball and tee'd off into the audience. It was hilarious, he faked us out three times before finally sending the ball flying towards the back of the theater.
The show was spectacular, and by far the best show I've ever been to, looking forward to doing this all over again tonight....
