Few words can describe the events that took place tonight. Here's my attempt to explain what I witnessed.
This was by far the most epic Melvins show I've been too, and that says quite a bit. The set list was put together so well, and highlighted the best that 30 yrs has to offer.
I missed Jared, but really its all about Buzz and Dale, who I might add is looking incredibly svelt and 100% on top of his game. Adding Coady to the mix makes it twice the drumming fury one can ever experience. They were monsters on the drums tonight! Having ended the show with a righteous drum-off it blew everyone's brains out.
Here's the perfect set list -


Hag me
War on wisdom
We are doomed
Sweet willy
Growing disgust
The bloat
Let it all be
You're blessened
Hooch
Night goat
Lizzy
Billy fish
Queen
Water glass
Evil new war god
Lysol
Graveyard

I'm still stunned, and was left weak in the knees after the last drum beat exploded. It was all about the drums tonight. Hats off to Dale & Coady, they stole the show!

Honky was pretty amazing too! Definitely don't miss them!

Oh and congrats to Jared, you're going to make a swell dad!

The Bloat,yes!

Great setlist for the kids. I was hoping they would slip in a few from HAT & Pigs. Oh well, glad I saw them in 2003 & 2004! What song is Graveyard from?

[Rev. Mike]

Derp.

It's the Buttholes song.

[Grayfro]

Derp.

It's the Buttholes song.

Oh, thanks for the info. Never cared for the Butthole Surfers.

Show was AMAZING! Sonically it was what I was needing after the Melvins Lite tour.
New Mel-Van? High class.

Merch.


Yay, XXL shirts for the first time EVER!

Drums!








Honky was cool!

[Shaolin]

Now by Lysol, do you mean the first 2 songs like they've been playing, or are they playing the whole album? (C'mon wishful thinking...)

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

The two songs like before; Hung Bunny + Roman dog bird

[Shaolin]

Thanks. I knew it sounded too good to be true. Still an awesome set. They have too many good songs, they need a 3-4 hour set

looks like Dale is wearing the skull vest, like he did during the HAT-Rutmanis era

That's what we call a tank top, you know, like basketball players wear. The only thing I remember Dale wearing during  the HAT era was a women's slip like this:

Yea, it looks like you are right, that photo is definitely from that time and it appears to be the same tank top. Maybe the skull shirt was his back-up when the slip was dirty.

stallion is right.  I don't remember dale wearing the slip in the states, mostly in Europe.

Surprised, given how hot it is out West, that Dale doesn't play like this again:
