First of all the set:

Let It All Be
Tipping The Lion
I Want To Hold Your Hand (Beatles cover)
Toadi Acceleratio
Queen
Bar-X-the Rocking M
The Bloated Pope
The Fool, The Meddling Idiot
Pigs of the Roman Empire
Manky
Safety Third
The Bloat
Skweetis
Night Goat
Black Stooges

I am not certain of the order, I was too busy standing in awe.  This is my 22nd Melvins show in 5 years and I am still astounded every time I see them.  Kevin had a giant windchime hanging from a mic stand that he hit with a mallet during Pigs of the Roman Empire (which was epic and far more powerful than the album version).  All the new songs sounded great and I was glad to hear Bar X in the set.  The Beatles cover was amazing.  No Lustmord nor Jello on stage which means if the rumors are true, the Melvins will be touring again this year after Never Breathe... comes out.  

They had a bunch of stuff for sale this time, bring lots of cash when you see them.  They had the 20 year anniversary shirt (dog shitting), Happy Halloween Bitch shirt (in both black and white) and the Kisscateer shirt.  As for vinyl they had the Revolve/With Teeth 7", the H.A.T. 7"s and a few scant copies of the trilogy going for $100.  Neither Here Nor There softcover book.  A really cool button set for $10.  The most recent CDs were available including Pigs..., Elecrtroretard, Big Band and H.A.T. (which came with this rad Melvins Trick and Riddle minibook that you could not buy separately).

Better than the Beatles...

[Beto Brasil]

[Metalhead Cow]

Fuck, this is so cool! They debuted 4 Pigs songs:

The Bloated Pope
Toadi Acceleratio
Pigs Of The Roman Empire
Safety Third

Ausome! It's amazing that they played the title track. Hopefully they will play stuff earlier than 1993.

Man, I wish I could see the Melvins. Why don't they come to western New York? Rochester, Buffallo, Albany, Syracuse... New York City is like 6 hours away. I tryed to convince my parents to take me to the Clevand show, but I don't think it's gonna happen, unless they're secretly surprising me or something (one can only hope ).

And they did I Want To Hold Your Hand by the Beatles! That's cool!
Do the Melvins ever do show these days, withought playing Night Goat?

[Beto Brasil]

hey dude ,im waiting Melvins here in south americ for long time, 15 years only! and you ,you have the lucky because Melvins played 545646565658  million times in USA.

Hey Melvins, Brasil waiting the new tour! again..waiting...

[FartLips]

i'm taking buttloads of cash with me. and look out for melvins army shirts.  they make a few whenever they're running a little low on cash.

[Metalhead Cow]

I know Beto, it sucks; I shouldn't be complaining. Melvins have to go to South America someday, particulary Brazil. And while they're at it, they could play At A Crawl down there.

[Simon]

Michael! Did you record this show man? :D:D

thanks!

[Michael]

No I did not record it.  

Someone was to my right, sitting on the edge of the stage taking photos.  Maybe if he reads this message board he will post them.  The boys were wearing their new fall line of moo-moo's....

If I ever meet the guys, I'll tell them "Hey, there's this huge fan in Brazil waiting for you!"

[Chief Ten Beers]

Awesome. Hope they add some Bullhead & Lysol songs by the time they hit Cleveland. Cool that they're doing more from Stag though, I don't think they did any when I saw them last year.

My Pigs CD should arrive any day now. Is Trevor's new CD for sale at the show too? I pretty much have everything other than the shirts that the Melvins are selling. It'll either be the Kisscateer or the dogshit one. Please tell me they're still $15 so I can buy two.

thanks for help me man!!
Brasil love you!!
