Grumpy's vs. Melvins August 2, 2008 - Minneapolis, MN

Great, great show. Buzz did indeed seem a bit irritated at the mic problems (which is understandable) but he and the other three rolled with it really well and delivered a hell of a show. Fucking awesome. Great to see how well Dale and Cody work together. Really magnificent. A very special show.

Purchased the Melvins Vs. Minneapolis set and am very impressed with the material. However, my audio cds have glue/rubber cement blotches from the slip case sleeves. This really disappoints me, espescially since I payed forty bones for them. Does anyone have any asuggestions for cleaning the discs without ruining them? The glue crud is rather tenacious and water doesn't seem to do the trick. Any hints at cleaning discs?

That worked.  Great pics!  I love those small, intimate pics. 

Looks like you were almost on stage.  Maybe the perspective is asque, but the setup looks weird.

so dale and coady faced each other

guess I misunderstood this show. I thought they were putting up a tent outside for the band to play under.   just to allow a little more room.
obviously not, huh?

i had the same problem, the glue wipes off pretty easy, you just need a little elbow grease, and tender love. although rereading your post i didn't have "blotches" just a little around the edge so it came off fairly easy. the last sleeve in the set wasn't sealed so that's where the glue came from so i just pinched it shut and they seemed to seal just fine.

no they did that last year when they had the 'grumpy's bash' thing, every other year it has been inside on their tiny stage, they would have been able to sell way more than 200 tickets if it was outdoors again

i noticed some exposed adhesive on the packaging but none on the discs.

Try 90% rubbing alcohol and a non abrasive cloth.

AAAAHHHH!!!!!!! Dammit!!! My crazy wife was at the Minneapolis Convention Center within spitting distance of Grumpy's when this went down! I am so pissed I did not realize this she said she would have gone and bought the merch for me and everything. She would have got to see the Melvins for once she would know what the hell I am talking about. CRAP!!

This of course would have taken at least a month of planning, to TRY to get the tickets.  Couldn't get the merch without the ticket.

The merch table was outside on the patio and you could have definitely bought from it without a ticket, not to rub it in....

I am such an idiot dumb ass. I have known she was going to be in Minneapolis for a long time now. BUT since I was in North Carolina at the time selfish me thought "Wow, I can't make it to Grumpy's this year so mheh." Then I realize later and make the connection that SHE could have gone, and then she even said that she definitely would have.          I could have planned this if I would have thought it out more carefully. It still would have been cool for her to go to such a special show. Then when I say I'm traveling to Grumpy's in the future she would know why the hell I have to go. Oh well whatever.
