9-28 detroit

for now I'll leave it at this:

best show since the POTRE tour.   it was beautiful.  I almost cried.

good lord almighty the new 4-way MELVINS have gotten TIGHT.   same setlist with an added whale serenade by Jared to close things out.   venue was interesting,  I'd say roughly the size of a 2 car garage where the band actually played.  I'm a little short on time now since I've got to get rolling on to cleveland.   full review later.

nice to meet the one and only EGO the living planet.  but I saw no signs at all of ALL 7' of armofinfant.

where were you holmes??

[GrimReaper]

Cool, can't wait for the full review!

I think Armo was scared you were going to steal his drugs!!

Yep. The show last night was amazing as Glen said. I have never seen the Melvins in such a tiny venue either. Big Business kicked some serious ass and the Melvins had an amazing set list. I honestly hope that they don't kick Big Bizz out anytime soon because they were amazingly tight last night and really seemed to have gelled together.

I saw quite a few really short people at the show and kept thinking it was glen, but wasn't going to just ask random people, "Are you glen from the Melvins board?"   I was one of the giants at the show, so sorry if I happened to have been in front of ya during the show, glen. Did you get that poster? I did. If you are undecided about seeing this tour, I promise you it is well worth the cash and time to check them out. I really hope they come around again soon.

by the end of the night i was grinning ear to ear and it was worth the drive, the hassles by the border thugs and the excessive smoke in the venue.  after seeing BB twice recently in humungo hockey arenas, it was better to see them in an intimate setting, with a longer set and with toshi adding to the rock. as somebody said in a prior post, coady is the second coming.
big melvins are really the best lineup i've seen and i hope it continues on for years to come. they played ASE almost in it's entirety and the new tracks and the classics (it's shoved, hog leg, your blessened, let god be your gardener, with teeth, dwight frye etc..) rocked it. if i had the time and the money i'd follow this band around deadhead style. i should have some photos up soon..

It was good to meet you too Glen, it's always nice too put a face to posts.

Both BB and the MELVINS killed it. It was a great show. I really wish it wasn't so packed. I was dog ass tired (I started work at 4 am that morning on 3 hours sleep and never really got my "power nap") and bein' crammed in like a sardine was gettin' on my nerves somethin' feirce. Still, nothin' like a great rock show to raise the spirits.

Everything sounded great. The double drums really took "It's Shoved" and "Dwight Fry" in particular to another level. The adlib line in "Lizzy" was hilarious.

I want to hear the two drum lineup do "Cherub". 

The "MELVINSTOWN" poster was irresistable, even though I don't have a place to hang it. I also grabbed a shirt from each band. I'm was holdin' back some funds so I can go see Qui tommorrow if I can get out, otherwise I would have done some damage at the merch table.

Did anyone see Tim Moss around?  He's been really cool every time I've talked to him before, so I always try to say "Hi", but I didn't see him last night.

Bottom: great night and a great show from a band that brings it EVERY FUCKIN' TIME.

after the show was over, jared was hanging out in the window of some "fashion store" that must have served as small's dressing room acting like a mannequin. the boy's a born entertainer...

Yeah, that poster kicks all sorts of ass  and had to grab one myself. I wish I hadn't received my layoff notice from the state, otherwise I would have destroyed my bank account buying a crap load of Melvins merch. That is one thing I love about the Melvins, they always have new stuff they bring out with them and it is always fairly priced. And yes, I am pretty sure I saw Moss for a brief second by the curtained area next to the stage.

i saw him side stage for most of the melvins set and for a bit in between both bands...

if you didnt see my story in the melvins singles thread, i didnt have a ticket in advance. show was sold out. i didnt get in., but i am going to qui tonight.

[EGO the Living Planet]

Qui is lookin' less likely now, but I might still pull it off. I'm wearin' my Big Biz shirt today. Say "hi"  if  you see me.
