Got the tickets in March..starting to fade now.  I love the "vip" system the Green Room has set up.  Get to the bar early they pass out lamented passes so you can be one of the first in the venue..worked great for the PIL show!

Yep, great show.  My ears are still effed up.  Random thoughts/observations:

-If I had to sum up the show in one word, that word would be VISCERAL.  Maybe the loudest I've ever heard the Melvins.

-Seemed like quite a bit of "newer" fans there.

-I wouldn't have even know Coady was there if I not for seeing his sticks and hands every once in a while.  Dale was just so overpowering.  Coady is a helluva drummer, but Dale just eclipses him in every way.  Coady abuses his kit, while Dale MURDERS his.  Just total fucking destruction.

-Watched the first set right behind a blind guy.  He was totally rocking out.  I wanted to ask him what the feeling was like.  The Melvins are not really a band that you "see", they're a band that you "feel", and I wanted to hear his perspective.  Him and his lady moved on though so I never had a chance to ask.

-Merch was pretty thin.  They didn't even have the shirt I wanted in my size.  Bought a couple posters (one's coming your way G) and that was it.  First Melvins show I haven't bought a shirt at in over 10 years.

-All the songs sounded killer, but the absolute highlight for me was Sacrifice.  God damn I loved it.

-I still haven't picked up a copy of TBSM (nor did I listen to any of the leaks), so this was the very first time I ever saw new material live before buying the CD.  It was actually pretty fucking cool.

-I didn't get there until after Totimoshi finished and was kind of bummed I missed them, but you know, family first.

-Kept an eye open for Grim and Smellis because I've met them before and know what they look like, but didn't see them.

where were the show posters at? i got in pretty early, didnt think they sold out that quick, and didnt see anyone packing any around.
