phew...just got back from the show. Tired! Drove into SF and parked like 10 city blocks away from the venue.

Show opened with a self-described "busker" named Hot Sauce something. He was wearing a dress and playing a ukelele. Someone yelled "Joe Preston!" at him when he came out on stage...pretty funny. He resembled Joe somewhat on the Melvins solo EPs. He got the crowd to participate in a rendition of We Will Rock You.

Altamont opened...Dale, Jared, Coady, and Toshi? They played a real short set of 4-5 songs.

More of mr Hot Sauce...

The Men of Porn. Santa Claus, Elvis, and a guy in a suit top, but no pants, just underwear and shorts. He spoke some German..... ..."genau".

Hot Sauce intros Big Business and the Melvins....

Jared and Coady played a bit first, Dale joined them, Buzz joined them....and they played! One song from the newest CD, Jared's bass went out of tune, and Dale and Coady had to do an extended drum part to kill time while Jared furiously tried to tune his bass silently. They finally ended the song and started a new one when he was ready.

Great set, I didn't figure to write it down...buzzzed.... but I did film some crappy footage of the show, I think. (Was using a friend's camera that I was unfamilar with) So I'll try to take a look at it and see if it's worth uploading.

Swapped some stories with a guy that had interned at Southern Lord and Red Stream. (Thought I hadn't heard of Red Stream...but now that I look at the website I remember I did buy some "The Ravenous" CDs from them, because I'm into Autopsy and a few of the members went on to the Ravenous.)
Met a Melissa and friend after I had eaten. (I decided to check out the Dinner option at the GAMH to see what it was all about. Choice of Prime Rib, Chicken, or Mushroom Garlic Ravioli for dinner $24!! and a house salad.)

Great show!

got a voicemail from spunkmonkey and cousin danny last night as they were on their way to the show.  rubbing it in, of course.

no other contact since.   

I wait anxiously.

can't wait to hear what cousin danny thought of the double drumming.  seeing as he's not a melvins junkie, only a casual fan.  maybe this set the hook.

Amazing show!

Got there at the end of Altamont, didn't notice Coady, or Jared playing with them (unless one of them turned into a slightly smaller asian gentleman).

Hot Sauce was great! His second song was 'I love Rock'n'Roll' by JJ.

Men of Porn was awesome, not what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised. I'll have to go get their album now.

Big Business' set was amazing! Really got the crowd going! Not sure how I feel about the fast version of Easter Romantic, the damn song is fast enough without them speeding it up! Their little 'dueling' between Jared and Dale in the middle of the song was great. Dale came out and played guitar on 'Just as the day was dawning' and 'Easter Romantic' then went back stage. He and Buzz came out at the end of their set. My question is, when Buzz and Dale came out, did they play a Big Business song or a Melvins song? I didn't recognize it but it F*CKING AWESOME!

Melvins set was great! Some of the older songs they played were great and they made the newer songs sound even better live!

Its great seeing them on the tour this late when they are really playing well together and everything is just keyed in.

Ok folks...sober now... :lol: don't know how much of what I wrote last night was accurate....but I did manage to get some clips of the show. For now, here's 5 minutes of Big Business in action.

(The mic on the camera is not the best..so sorry about that...and I am not a good cameraman... :D)

Enjoy!

let me know what you think... I've got some similar quality clips (15 and 20 mins) of BB and the Melvins playing new and old stuff together.
