those pics look like maybe that is how MJ was seeing through smoke and booze muddled eyes.
cool.

Na... it's just my shit camera or my lack of photography skills

We will remember this show your shitty cam captured it then, not necessarily the way it was

Wait there is one clear photo coming up 

9. In true Houdini fashion Buzz makes himself invisible to my camera (He IS there, look closely)


10. Buzz doing magic while hitting the drum


11. Not really sure why I uploaded this one...


12. Buzz, and again I swear he is there, on his way to hit Crover's cymbals


13. Trevor hitting.  I was very close to getting his sticks in my eye


14. The dude was hitting hard


15. Another Houdini trick by Buzz but you can see his sticks


16. Not sure what I did right on this one but it's not blurry!

Thanks for the review MJ!  Your description of Spread Eagle Beagle sounds amazing. 

I like the pics as well;  just because they're not of super high quality doesn't mean they're bad.

Nice review.  Who was the support?

Nunchukka Superfly.

I got to the venue a bit late so didn't really catch much of them but they did play this one great heavy song which I heard from the other room.

And I just found a recording of the show, sound is pretty good...

Great photos.

There were a few people with cameras to my left, on Buzz's side of the stage. I wouldn't be surprised if more photos surface soon.

Great review! and thanks for the pictures and download of the show!

I'm surprised Melvins were put in such a small venue (a pub). I saw The Mark Of Cain @ Annandale Hotel on NYE 96-97 and they blew shit up BIG time. I'd love to see Melvins doing a pub gig. No surprise there was no merch table........I don't think you could fit a merch table into that pub!

I remember in 97 I saw Melvins in Auckland, New Zealand. Anyway I heard (read maybe?) that during that tour of NZ the Melvins were drinking in some pub in a small town and decided to set up and do a set. I always wondered if that was true???? If so that would've been awesome seeing some poor old blokes sitting at the bar suddenly getting blasted by the Melvins.

guess they still prefer small venues.on the last tour they decided to do a show on their day off  in a small bar in Eindhoven,just because they liked the place.i posted somewhere a link where Crover talks of that.i bet what you read about the set in that small pub is true
