ZODIAC!!!!

unf unf unf.

[perusha]

Dang peeps...where are the reviews???

This was Melvins show #7 for me in 2008.  (The one advantage living in CA I suppose).
Sound was incredable and quite possibly my favorate Melvins show of '08.  Santa Barbara was pretty insane as well, believe it or not.  
In addition to Zodiac they also played Anaconda, W/ Your Heart Not Your Hands (!!!!!!!), Revolve, and both Night Goat & The Bit w Trevor Dunn as well as Jared as a sort of encore-type-thing.  The rest were off NWB and ASA of course.  Quite possibly the single greatest performance of Night Goat I've ever heard w both Trevor and Jared.  They just killed it.  The Bit as well.  Kind of cool to see who exactly understood what they were seeing with them playing W/ Your Heart Not Your Hands.  Don't think I've ever heard that live since the Lori days.
There was another cover song played that sounded very cool (kind of slow, quiet, a bit bluesy) and I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know it.  I feel as though I should but don't.  I'm fired.
Don't know what else to say other than the single, greatest, band in the history of music...

The slow, bluesy cover you speak of was probably "My Generation".

Ummm, No.  I should be fired but I'm not that bad. 

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

I think Hanz is probably correct.

[tycho5]

They actually played a 'medly'. With Yo' Heart Not Yo' Hands + another song (i was thinking Leeech or Euthanasia).

Great show, one of the better shows I've been to this year. Decent crowd that was into the band, no assholes to speak of. Buzz's guitar sound was nice and meaty, and excellent selection of songs.

[IrvingtonFoster]

yea the medly had Leech at the end of it.  i agree the sound was excellent, definitely one of the
best shows i've been to this year.  lookin foward to seeing Dale, Trevor and Buzz again Wednesday night.
those purps that i had didn't hurt the show experience either!

[gesundheit]

no covers besides "with your heart..."...the slow bluesy one was SHEVIL you guys!!! Without a doubt...no my generation, eye flys, boris, ssb or okie this time..

Ummmm...I'm still in recovery from this show...possible best setlist ever (at least in my opinion) and best set I have ever seen them play...by far, by a longshot, not even close and I really can't even begin to get into the sheer magnitude of the setlist and this show as a whole. Yes, to what you said about leech...We were goddamn lucky motherfuckers to have witnessed what we did. My sixth show this year but only tenth show overall..when they opened with zodiac...I knew, something different was going down tonight..I think our Australian friends will be in for a real treat. I was fucking floored by this experience. More review and pics later. A teaser to the setlist below...I know somebody got the whole thing or knows it. It's still a little hazy for me.

Nice! Thanks for the info Gesundtheit

[GrimReaper]

stayed at the hotel with these guys and girl

Shevil is the song that you are fired for.

opened with Zodiac.

The stage was set up for a single drummer so don't think the Melvins don't pay attention to .net. The Melvins tricked our asses.

Cody carried his drums on stage and Jarod had a blond wig.

I am so happy that I got to hear that beautiful version of Shevil.

[black stallion]

damn!Zodiac,Anaconda,Shevil,Leech,With Yo Heart..seems you guys had a great night!!hey Grim,the single drum on stage wasn't for the supporting band?i found any videos of this  band called Lewd

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

The Lewd are great; they played with the melvins in los angeles a few years ago.  I think they only put out one album?

[black stallion]

doesn't the singer look a little like Lemmy?
