Meat Puppets reunion?!?!
So what is different from this tour, just saw them last year at Ust (and was poorly attended considering Mike watt was on the bill too)
few things…
1. I did really like that show at Ust…it was more that if they couldn't pack Ust…how will the sell the club?
2. I hate to be that guy…but when 'older' bands hit the road there are some principals that make a huge difference. Like a vocalist or guitarist or songwriter or the guy who plays the fugelhorn. But when I think of the meat pupuptes…drums don't seem to be a critical element…but whatdoIknow
well they are not going to sell the club!
In fact I would be surprised if IMP books them again but what do I know… I mean as you said they did not sell that well at U St Hall and that was with Mike Watt!
The drummer… I don't know…. I kind of think those Puppets albums having just guitar bass drums so the drums are important..its pretty sparse sounding stuff on II… and there is an element of doesn't matter how much sound changes just having the three original puppets up there is cool… I do think Doug Sahm Jr was just a bit too hard hitting on the skins whereas Bostrom was more nuance but I don't really know..

I saw Ferry at Strathmore in 2011… I took a video you can watch on youtube of stick together
I loved it… he had Chris Spedding on guitar which was a big deal.. I think i was within first ten rows center too! and i had never seen him so it was a big thing… I think I even nabbed a setlist.. I did fail in my attempts to get backstage although I ALMOST made it!
But it will be 8 years…
Because Roxy is getting into RRHOF maybe they are capitalizing on that… maybe he will play more Roxy tunes…
The older I get the more I listen to Roxy/Ferry… probably in my top 5 listened to acts past few years….they were so ahead of their time….listen to the first Roxy album and you hear shades of what Bowie and Eno would explore on Low…. not surprising as Eno was in the band but for 1972 the stuff is way out there

they should really get them to open for Jawbreaker at the anthem :)
also Lockjaw should be added to this imaginary bill
Lockjaw is bringing the Hell Rock revolution into the minds of the masses. Melting faces, destroying places

The Lincoln Theater show was one of the greatest ensembles of musicians put together that I’ve ever seen. Whoever the musical director was, they did a top notch job. That show was his best, and I saw the Roxy Music reunion and other solo performances. Ferry is a must-see. A true treasure.

I think you'd be happy, but to be honest, the extended version of "Tara" was pretty freakin' unreal and a total highlight for me. But the entire performance was sublime. Incredible sound too.

Me, too. Doesn't really fit in with the rest of the things I like but I have listened to Roxy - Avalon, in particular - a lot lately.
I think I may have to see this.

How are these two bands actually different bands? I know nothing about them….I had always assumed there was just one Jaw* band.

One is a power trio from Oakland, CA that started as more traditional punk and grew into terrific songwriters that injected emo while slowing the tempos down (with magnificent results, I love their last 2 LPs) before emo was…well, icky. The other is a 4-piece post-punk (and more traditional indie) band from DC (yay) who wrote some really, really well-crafted and beautiful songs ("Savory", "Iodine", "Reel") but still had the volume to make the music even more visceral. Both bands are actually very intelligent, underrated, and worthy of learning more about because of their depth and ability to convey feelings. I find the "Dear You" LP by Jawbreaker to be a cult classic that never really was appreciated and understood. It really spoke to me when it was released and I was disappointed that it didn't do better. Both bands got lost in the post-Nirvana 1990's shuffle of angry and posery post-grunge schlock, and I'm happy that I'll get to see both again this year.
