Melvins 12/30

[Idlehanz]

Damn.

Show started at 9pm  Finished at 1:20 am.  Hot Sauce opened.  Very funny.  Red Fang was next.  They were good.  Not sure what they remind me of at the moment, but they remind me of someone.....Hot Sauce came back out again and played some James Brown.  Very over with the crowd.  Porn was next, Santa and Elvis came out.  Dale had a doughnut, and started fingering it.   Ate some and threw the rest in the crowd.  Melvins sound guy, whose name I forget right now played bass.  He was sporting a nice suit.  Looked like a history teacher at a college.  They fukkin made a hellacious noise.  Some 15-20 minute noise that was very cool.  Great songs.  The sets didn't flow like they have on the rest of the tour.  Breaks between Porn and BB, but then right into Melvins.  Big Business was awesome.  Dale came out 3 songs in and played geetar.  I never realized how good of a player he is.  Someone threw a penny onstage and Jared says "So you think your cute huh?.  Dale picked it up and threw it at Jared.  Jared says "So you think your cute huh?" to Dale.  Dale laughed....pretty funny.  BB was monsterous.  Buzz came out for the last BB song as usual.  Normal Melvins set except for they threw in Night Goat, which made the Roseland go totally apeshit. 

Sorry for this being scattered and short, but I'm fried.  My ass was in a little wooden chair ( in the balcony, so I could film) for over 4 hours....It's still asleep.  Rode down with MrKilgore and met Smellis.  Another member was there getting audio, but I forgot his name.  Sorry dude.  There was 3 of us filming in all, and the audio guy.  All from the balcony, all next to each other.  All in all, I can't fucking wait for tomorrow night.  And the merch was pretty empty.  Got tonites poster, and the Tara Mcpherson from the Houston show, both signed, and a shirt.  I won't be able to sleep.

Did everyone go home and pass out?

I didn't, it just got over damn late.  Almost 4 1/2 hours long.

Wooooo Hoooooo!  Night Goat. 

Thanks for sharing, hanz.

Some little details I forgot to mention.  Buzz's guitar was fairly quiet for the first few songs.  They got that figured out thankfully.  Jared has some pedal problems during the BB set and during the last song, when Buzz came out to play.   Moss came out n fixed it up for him.  Think we spotted Ritchie, but we weren't sure.  Dales wife was walking around for a bit with their baby.  Saw some pretty young kids there too.  Probably 9-11 years old or so.  It was an all ages show.....Bullshitted with the merch guy and Smellis for a while.  When MrKilgore and I showed up, the place was pretty empty.  Filled up more so as the night went on.   By the time BB started, it was packed.  I'm sure there's more to say, but I should try to sleep.  Gotta get up somewhat early and head for Seattle.

You better clean that up before someone slips and hurts themselves.

After watching my filming of the show, it isn't great.....Not bad, just not what I was hoping for.  Pretty dark.  I did watch it in my hotelroom in Seattle on a nice flat screen tv, and it looked better though.  As far as a 3 cam dvd Beto, we were all sitting right next to each other.  Wouldn't be much difference in the video, cept maybe quality.  I did a few zooms, and I don't think Mrkilgore did.  I know his quality will be better than mine though.  We'll have to wait n see.
