Aug 4th, Chicago, Double Door

"Thank you for Braving the Tornado and coming out tonight"  - Buzz

Was hoping to see something on this.  Chicago had a little Tornado touch down few blocks from the club right as doors were opening.  Double Door was sold out as always, so it was a full house.  The basement started to flood so everyone had to move up stairs...Saw Jared hanging out...probably trying to get a pulse on if the show was still going to go on.  And of course it did..Porn was awesome...hope they release a recording of the new stuff.  The Biz ruled as always...they ran out of XL Shirts for their +Size fans like me.  Their new songs ruled.  Got to see about a quarter of the Melvin's set before we decided to bail.  Packed house...high winds, leaky roof = TROUBLE.  So how was the rest of the show?

thanks for posting, I guess I'm glad I went to the Madison show instead with the weather that night in Chicago.  I didn't realize you guys got hit that hard down there.  I'm not completely sure why you left early though, best to have shelter during a storm.

i'm gonna guess he left early to avoid being a footnote in any "oh my god, that's just like what happened to Great White" stories

I missed Porn again.    BB and Melvins were fantastic of course.  I was fairly buzzed and head banging and having the time of my life during the Honey Bucket/fast Senile Animal songs set after they took their joke break.  And I look outside and it's a fucking hurricane.  I wasn't worried though.  What better way to die?  Anybody have a setlist?  I can only think of a partial one and it probably wouldn't be that accurate.  Nude With Boots is a great song and it was really kick ass live.
