The meetup that many hoped for but never thought would ever reastically happen I'm wondering if Mark will go into detail how this happened at some point in time.

If anyone's interested, the WDR (german broadcaster) also provides a livestream of the Freak Valley Festival on their own page throughtout the whole afternoon / this evening:

Videos of complete sets are now getting uploaded to YT. The set lasts about 45 minutes, so it's on the shorter side this US tour. Glad to see they've shaken it up a bit, I'm especially happy to see Blood Witch back in the set!

This video is basically only Dale and Dave talking with each other without any interviewer interfering, which is a nice format in my opinion.

EDIT: I just noticed that black stallion also linked this in the "New interview with Dale" thread, but I hope it's OK to keep this video also linked here as I see this as some "archival" thread for all kinds of Melvins-related videos.

I might be wrong but they previewed Suicide In Progress at a Roadburn gig before NWB came out. remember thinking, oh cool that's a new song

That's correct, I can remember that they also played (at least) Billy Fish ahead of the NWB release. I think some parts of the song were slightly different compared to the final album version.

EDIT: The videos I saw all those years back are still up on YouTube:

I'm hoping this guy will also have video from the Bielefeld show from the same tour, as there is a SBD recording that could be sync'd up....

Do you happen to know (or anybody else) when was the last time/year they played in Bielefeld? I only saw them everytime in Cologne (Gebäude 9), which is about a 2.5 hours drive from where I live. Bielefeld is only 30 minutes, so it would be nice if they ever played there again, but I guess it's unlikely they ever will at this point.

Both parts of the 1997 CBGB performance have been uploaded now:

To me, it sounds like the unholy tribal child of AMAZON and Bloated Pope.

I hope they prepare a Faberge Egg omelet for Buzz this time, too.
