A review my friend wrote, I took pictures.

The band was great. Buzzo really warmed up mid-set and played some ripping solos.

Merch - No poster for this specific show for sale. Most of the Clown 7"s were available, Butcherettes split, Silver skull version Melvins/Totimoshi split, etc.

Cool review. Yeah, show ruled. My 14th and one of the best. As others have said, yeah, Buzz & Jeff are really channeling ZZ Top circa 1980 with their stage moves. Buzz is moving around more than ever in the 12 yrs I've been seeing them. The Buttholes covers ruled, and Youth Of America killed, finally got to see that one live.
As much as I like to see bands who mix the setlist up every night & throw in the rare song or two, I love how Melvins deliver the same setlist every show, & every night is like it's the last night on Earth.

This was my 12th time, they were definitely better than the last few times I've seen them.
As solid as they are, it would be nice to see them mix it up every once in a while. I would travel to see my favorite band on a few dates on their tour, but why do so if they are going to play the same exact set.
