i had a funny feeling the show was going to be another j. snoozefest. i remember the legend days; before the white hair. i remember the days when you didn't say the fog is a better band. bad j.
Dinosaur Jr. roll call
Man, that roadie was bent up about the list. I was in the middle of the room and could see the hate in his eyes. Good stuff.

Not a snoozefest by any means.
But then again, I could've stood there and listened to J shred all night.

Yeah no kidding. Some of those solos made me think of your post about pitying people that don't get a thrill out of his guitar work.

i'm with you guys. j does shred right. then again, i can listen to nick saloman (bevis frond) and neil young solo for hours and not get bored. that's one of the things i like about doug martsch (except he ain't as good as these other guys). indie snobs need to get over the guitar excess thing. it doesn't have to sound like meandering jam band soloing.
bands that have the encore songs listed on paper are super lameeeee
don't get me wrong, i could listen the rest of my life away to j. play . . . but the last two shows i saw of his weren't anything special. but i wasn't at the blackcat show, so what do i know. it just seemed that "the show came together towards the middle/end," didn't sound like anything special. did he even play a single song off of hand it over?
Originally posted by walkonby:No. They have not since the reunion. Most fans are pretty pleased about this.

if they were fans, they would pray as he did a cover of "sexy back."
After about 45 or 50 minutes they still hadn't played a single note of you're living all over me. I was very sleepy and went home early.
I didn't see any of Dead Confederates. But I thought that Awesome Color was, well, awesome.

I'm glad you posted this. Second time I've seen them, and they were pretty great again.
Snailhook, I'm sure you know more than I do, but I'm pretty sure that last song they played (and at the Oneida show) isn't on Thurston Moore-released album. Any idea what it's from? That song rules.

i don't say this often, or maybe i try not to publicly, but i *hated* them [awesome color].
the drummer i think is amazing and i thought it was appropriate that they gave a shout-out to the apes because i was thinking "man, she drums just like the guy from the apes" and i love him.
but the rest of awesome color? no thank you.

i like awesome color. alison is a kickass drummer. i missed them this time but i've seen them a few times. don't know what that last song is that you're talking about, nkotb. they certainly aren't writing any new books, but it's a chapter of rock 'n' roll that i don't mind rereading multiple times. solid stoogy/comets on fire stuff.
