Thanks for keeping me warm buddy.

Hey it was great to meet you guys 

Fun times were had by all!! Buzz was in fantastic spirits, and yes, he did call his mommy from the stage  it was too cute. He followed the same set as before, but you could really tell he had warmed up a lot more to the acoustic routine since his first stop here. It sounded super, and the crowd was more relaxed, as a whole. The Splatt Gallery family (who has agreed to adopt me as their own) ran the show from the side of the stage. His daughter held the set list and spouted off the fragments of the song titles as 'requests' from the crowd. Buzz just wanted to have a good and chill time  Rev Mike brought some fun party favors, and everyone ate cake!!
Cheers to 50 more years!!

I snapped a few pics on my fellytone, will post later if you all are interested.

Party favors = speedballs and candyflips.

Did Rev Mike do his floor punch dance?!?

[brian]

rev. mike was flopping around the floor like a fish out of water for practically the entire set. it was truly beautiful to behold and the moment will be made an addendum to the new testament so that all might remember his contributions. the set was great and buzz was playing fast and tight, as expected after playing the songs throughout the length of the tour. no requests were taken however buzz did let the aforementioned girl dictate the ordering of the set, began with boris and ended with revolve. left out captain pungent and one or two others but a man does what he wants on his birthday. the birthday cake was very tasty. there were some 10"s for sale both striped and splatter along with the other recent vinyl. haze also found some of the original singles 1-12 double cd's tucked away in some nook or cranny of the amrep offices. he needs to be on one of those shows on TLC where they send in a gay dude to force you to go through all your shit and make you reorganize it.

[Rev. Mike]

That speedball hit me quick.

[Idlehanz]

Sitting here at the airport a few hours early.  Time to eat, drink and recharge shit.  The show last night was great.  So glad I came out for it.  It was really cool to see Brian and Rev Mike again, and meet Judy.  All very cool people.  Also go to speak with Adam from the Seawhores last night as he was running the sound.  Really cool dude.

I owe BroHammer the most, I wouldn't have come out with his generosity.  It's always awesome to get to hang out with him.  So thank, buddy!

I think the reviews everyone else has posted nicely covers the evening.  It was a great show, and Buzz was really on fire.  Funny stories, and the Melvins songs acoustically were beautiful.  I'm really loving We Are Doomed especially.  The new tunes are amazing as well.  Cant wait to get my record player working and hear a few more.

Thanks again folks, we'll meet again!

So.....I'm assuming you got some video?

So.....I'm assuming you got some video?

I did.  Some may turn up eventually

Man what a great show! It was awesome! Fantastic to see Buzzo up so close and personal. Like others have mentioned it was pretty funny to see his mum called up on stage and yet a very sweet move to include her on his 50th birthday of all days. That was a surprisingly personal, moment that i've not seen of Buzz before. Got to say, even though i've see the same songs played on various videos on here you really can't substitute that sensation seeing it up close and live! To see Buzzo moving back and forth and getting into and losing himself in the songs that he was playing. Both surreal and visceral. You can't help but relate to that. Great atmosphere for such a intimate occasion. Got to say it was fun to meet all the gang from on here too. Cool people one and all and very much the icing on the cake of what was a utterly memorable event. So weird seeing a show of that magnitude and yet sincerity in such a setting. So glad i was able to witness such a one off show. Stripped back, paired away and straight to the essence of what is Melvins. Buzzo acoustic rules!

I'm so confused right now.
