That's fair.  It doesn't negate how much ass they kick every show. 

I'm not suggesting people should be going all dead head or phish fan and follow them around, but catching a couple of close shows ain't so bad either.  Lucky we got a couple of tours this year with different set lists, on top of it.

I have a similar feeling about Schnab's question of why anyone would want to see them multiple times on the same tour. Why not get as much as you can of a really good thing?

Does anyone ever ask why some people watch the same basketball team play 80+ times in a season?

Could you imagine the outrage if a football fan admitted to watching only one match a year of their favorite club? (American to English translator engaged!)

Dude, sorry to hear about the asbestos (kinda sounds like a Melvins song name), that is no fun at all!  Glad you were able to snag one of the TG vinyls.  I did the same, along with one of the Nude with Boots Mackie small batch. 

Anyone know what's in the $300 boxset that was in such limited #s? (the guy in front of me grabbed the last one)  Gareth said the rest were reserved and he was couriering a couple around the venue.

Agreed with Black Santa, just a hell of a show all around and that solo ending by Buzz was unforgettable.  Of course, the Dale announcement was the icing on top!!
Roseland is a great venue for them, was awesome seeing them at the Doug Fir but too small for most visits (& is moving)...just never the Crystal Ballroom again, please.

Probably doesn't need mentioning, but be sure to bring ear protection for the Boris set, those 6 Orange amps ain't fooling around.

Your Blessened

 

Melvins tonight!?  See you at the Roseland 

Sending all the good vibes available to Dale!

Thanks!  Got both Portland and Spokane.  Decided against Seattle.  I'll probably need the day off and Showbox has never had good sound for me

Hey, I'll take the Showbox over the Crystal ballroom any day (in fact we did just that for the recent Bungle tour).  Roseland should be just fine though.
Might even see you there... 

Double Tee email yesterday, for Portland presale code is
2TEE or MAMMOTH

any details on the presale for Thursday? Presale code ?

Ha!  That was the main reason I was signing in today.   Haven't seen anything around, but figured if anyone knew it'd be here.
If I hear anything I'll be sure to post it!

Roseland pdx I'm there mates

Same 

anyone Else go to the show at the Hawthorne in Portland  tonight besides deatheats at least I'm guessing you went

Yup...couldn't miss out after all this time!   Glad to see Melvins haven't skipped a beat and brought a ton of energy to the stage.  Also I gotta say Helms Alee killed it and was easily my favorite performance I've seen from them.   Unfortunately missed the Hatsh Mellow set, but still a hell of a night of great music that definitely hit the spot!

Oh, who brought that amazing Buzzo puppet?!   

It's been almost two and a half years since my last Melvins live show (Slims in SF)...

Portland's journey through the post apocalyptic wasteland that is live music (oh wait that's just Burnside), without the Melvins, is almost at its end.  Is that a glimmer of hope I see on the horizon tonight at the Hawthorne theater?

Happy New Year, all!  Snagged one just in time!

Mulholland Drive, I've always assumed...
