andy gets a free one-shot, promotional only, limited lathe-cut w/ hologram projector version of the set, "Melvins Vs. New Haven".

Who else finds it lame if a thread in the reviews section isn't really a review?

[Lunica]

I think it should have been a review.

the show was fucking awesome.  setlist was same as usual.  jared had a pitch shift on his voice between songs in the BB set, making him sound like darth vader, which was very funny. 

it was a great show.  review.

You lost your last few hairs in my imagination.

review? fine...

show went on at 9pm. Morningstarrising were way more on the ball than they were in Northampton, it sounded like to me.

Coady was watching the set from behind the stage and then towards the end he jumped in on drums with Dale. Same riffage as the Northampton set but the noise/drums/power were a lot better. Filmed about 25 minutes of this 30 minute set.

Big Business came on and did their thing. Toshi was tearing it up. Didn't feel as intimate of a performance as the Northampton gig. Maybe they were tired? Didn't bother filming their set except 1 song; I realized my camera battery was dying! Jared sounded more like Jaba the Hut than Darth Vader! He also did eerily similar things that he did last time in New Haven, such as wearing an animal-face close-up shirt and pointing at various audience members. The new songs are good. Haven't listened to the tour EP #3 yet but I really dig the chunky sludge dirge they do at the end. I think they were performing it last year as well. Maybe it's on one of their albums? Not sure...

MELVINS - Fuck yeah. Only got to film for 30 minutes, but I didn't really mind my camera dying because a) I met this dude who was filming the whole show and wanted to hook me up with a copy and b) I got to dance, not having danced at a Melvins show since about 2001 (been sacrificing my enjoyment to film them every time I've seen them since 2002). So that was fun! I was standing on a bench stage left during one of the song, and I look into the audience and there's a really drunk girl on some dude's shoulders flashing her huge-areola tits to the band and every one else. I don't think she was REALLY a Melvins fan, just extremely drunk. There were, however, these 2 girls there, a blonde and brunette, dressed like they wanted a slutty night on the town with mini skirts, makeup, 4 inch heels, etc. and at least one of them seemed to be a Melvins fan. So... female eye candy at a Melvins show? What's the world coming to????

Not a peep out of the band during the show; glad I got to hear some chatter in Northampton. Excellent performances. I think I did notice some sloppy parts in Tipping the Lion, but it was still pretty great. The new songs are so good live, but you all know that.

Talked to Buzzo after the show and gave him some mini-releases I just did on my Radiopros label. Each of them were 2 DVD sets, one from Toads 2006 and one from Toads 2007. With "original artwork" by moi. Maybe you can find them in the future. . . . That dude is super nice and friendly, but maybe it's just a facade so he doesn't accidentally piss off or offend his crazy fans.

Chatted with the Angry Bald Andy for awhile. Poor dude had to split during one of their songs for an early work morning. That's why I record shows! I got complete audio of the entire night and about an hour total of footage of the 3 bands.

Oh yeah, did I mention how amazing Boris was?

Hey Butholedguy,
That is some funny shit.
I can understand bangin' ones head to Ozma, but those LAMBS of CHRIST revival dancers have the moves.

Someone post a set-list.

And then after that, some videos from the show.

Post a second post. And after that, post a third.
