That's what I've been wondering. We'll have to wait for Jules to get there to get a review?

Hey there been a while! I went to the fremantle show last Friday. Think it was the first show of the tour ( no helmet).
I was expecting a trio but we were given the full mel/biz lineup. I've only seen melvins once before which was a few yrs back at a festival, where they played a fairly short and upbeat set. This was nothing like my prior experience.
They played what felt like a pretty big set and covered a lot of ground. My memory doesn't serve me very well as I was sick as a dog and hopped up on antibiotics n beer but standouts in no particular order were hag me, youth of america, your blessened, let it all be and pretty much the first half of lysol to name a few. They also played quite a few of the newer ones from the mel/bb era and even a melvins lite song. Only a couple of songs I didn't recognize. Not sure if they were from sausage or cabrones as I don't own em yet.
All in all was a great gig given I was alone, had to drive 50 mins each way, crook n sweating profusely. I wasn't even moving wtf. Who cares got to see my fav band! Was well over an hour an half of intense noise. Buzz was in his usual regalia, Coady was in what looked like a collared soccer shirt. Dale stubby shorts n a grey nylon lookin batman singlet? and jarod button up shirt, scarf n pretty sure a Sikh headpiece lol.
They didn't stop playing the whole time. Every song pretty much led into the next and they didn't really give themselves a break til slowing down on let it all be. The drums never stopped once!! Also none of them uttered a word.. Buzz just up n left somewhere in the second last or last track ( I didn't see any bottles thrown) and never returned. Last time I saw em they finished by crooning some a capella song with their hands on their hearts, none of that this time. Dale looked totally ravaged on exit, frail like. Outstanding.
The end.

Thanks from the USA for the review!

No problemo. If there's anyone who was there, who remembers, should post a set list ( I didn't see any other green/ yellow snivlem shirts). Really was a good one. Decent turn out given I didn't know anyone in Perth would even know them.

Came in here looking for a set list. I was at the Brisbane show two nights ago. Opened with Hag Me, which was huge. There was some punky cover early on that I didn't recognize. They played a couple of songs off The Bulls And The Bees which I am not all that familiar with, but that was a pleasant surprise. One track from Tres Cabrones that I recognized. The Water Glass was towards the end of the set, that went down a treat - they opened with that last time I saw them at some awful festival, really freaked out all the departing Rob Zombie fans. Nothing from (A) Senile Animal or Nude With Boots at all.  Hung Bunny was last, then Buzz split and Jared, Coady and Dale jammed for about 15 mins with a bunch of psychedelic lights going off. Great show, although the sound was pretty muddy, which is typical for the Hi-Fi.

Are we really wondering how the reviews are? I`ve never seen a bad review of Melvins and that`s cause they are gods amongst mortal.
