I wonder if he was around for the show these two played together in 1999.

I saw that show.

I saw 5 shows on that tour: Detroit (first show with Chamberlain back), Cincinatti, NYC, DC, Pittsburg. My first show at 9:30 incidentally. The Arising! tour was really awesome for alot of reasons, one being the original SP lineup for what was basically their last 9 shows, but also all the new songs that turned up on the Machina records. That material was so much better raw and not overly produced like on the records.

That tour is funny among SP fans in that QOTSA were pretty much boo'ed off the stage at the majority of that shows and Josh was double middle-fingering the fans a couple of nights, but 2 years later everyone name dropped QOTSA and that they saw them before anyone else.

I still have an autographed CD of that lineup of QOTSA somewhere. I thought they were great even not knowing any of their material walking in.

Funny, I'm a HUGE QOTSA fan (duh) but I wasn't overly impressed with them. I thought they were good but not really fully formed. But when I saw them a few years later, it was just ridiculous how much they'd evolved. Even now, the iTunes Festival live EP they just released blows me away. The version of "In the Fade" they do is probably my favorite. And that was recorded merely weeks ago. They have had a truly great run for the last decade.

I didn't think they were at their peak in 99. I saw them in 2000 right after Rated R came out and that was probably the best they were imo (that's my favorite record of theirs so that helps). I saw them about a billion times with Zwan and other touring in support of Songs For The Deaf. Think I've only seen them once after that. I was burnt out. If they play VA/DC, I'd go again at this point because it's been 7-8 years by my estimation.

Shit I had no idea they released a live EP from that. Totally have to to pick that up!

The first time I had a chance to see them was at the Lollapalooza tour in '03 or '02 but I couldn't go. So I saw them at 930 when they were supporting Lullabies. I have that poster up in my room signed by all of them. Then at Verizon with NIN and DFA1979. Then at Rams Head for Era Vulgaris in '08 I believe. I wish they came around town when the re-released Rated R and toured on that.

read that first part seth . . . the part that says THEY ARE FUCKING TOURING AGAIN

Let's hope Seth doesn't announce Dead Milkmen and QOSTA shows on the same day, I fear half of the forum members will explode that day.

I've seen both in the last couple years. I love the Dead Milkmen, but QOTSA are a better live band.

jello biafra is touring, as jello biafra.  that should be fun . . . at u street.

Godflesh had to push their tour that was supposed to be in October this year to April 2014. 

Now that there is all this extra time, is there any possibility of seeing if they can tack a DC date onto the front of the tour?

God, yes, please, yes!

Arctic Monkeys (perhaps on February 5th between Richmond and Boston?), please.

Riff Raff please.  His only area show was Rock the Bells, and of course it was cancelled…

Also Placebo and Polyphonic Spree.

Saw Riff Raff this and last year in Philly and he got booed off the stage both times. I like him! But, it was just awful live. Not to mention he was late and cut his set short…

i listened to jay z live.  awful.  i listened to kanye live.  awful.  who rap wise, is not awful live?

and polyphonic has to play smaller places now.  i dont think they could even sell out nine thirty.

Ludacris was/is very, very awesome live. Wu Tang Clan…

I was just making suggestions of artists that I want to see.  Seth doesnt only book the 930 Club.  Also a lot of hip hop is good live.  Im not going to run through the list of hip hop artists I consider good live in the Hey Seth thread, but it isnt small.

Still holding out hope for Missy Elliott.  On a different level, if Kelis or Ciara were booked, I wouldn't complain.

got into a missy fix lately . . . and was thinking, what in the hell happened there?
