So good to be back seeing the Melvins live, last couple years of no shows sucked! I normally hit the Seattle or Portland shows but Eugene was a great mix up except for the 4 hour drive... Great set list. But I really wanted to say how much I loved Helms Alee. I've watched the Melvins live almost yearly since 2006 and this band could possible be my favorite opener yet. Such a Melvins vibe, I was hooked instantly! Felt so good to be back upfront in your face and unable to hear again. Keep it coming.

Opening band was pretty damn good. Husband and wife band had some heavy sound to them. Melvins show was great, good set. Amazon is a song they should always play. Only song missing was nightgoat.This trio has really good chemistry. Couple of the newer songs with a mix of oldies. No crowd problems, overall damn good show. My first time at Hawthorne the balcony was great to pregame while watching the openers, then made our way to the front before Melvins started. Faaaantastic night.
