Can't agree at all. I saw The Feelies live once and they really seriously sucked a big one. Then again, in all fairness, this was maybe 1989 when they opened for Lou Reed at The Myerhoff. Was really looking forward to seeing them just as much as Lou Reed but there was no comparison whatsoever. A total mismatch. Of course, Reed's maniacal ego probably appreciated that.
Anyway, The Feelies were a very young band playing in a venue that was far too big for them. Their sound was totally lost in the place and not mixed right at all. Suspect that if I would have seen them in someplace such as The Black Cat's Backstage or the Warehouse Next Door, I would have had a whole different experience and opinion. Hopefully, time has been kind to them and that they've grown into larger presentations.

the feelies were ten years old by then. not exactly young. they were getting pretty tired towards their end there.
i booked the feelies here in philly so i'll see them on the 13th, and then i'll go to dc for the moz on the 14th.

Oh good - it will be nice to see you. I'm not a super fan, but I may be working this show. If so, I can see if I have an extra ticket…

I'll let sweetcell do an assessment of the Feelies' set opening for Sonic Youth…but I thought they were just OK. I hope they don't charge $25.

I want to see both but given I've never seen Morrissey I'll be at the Warner Theatre.

per joe's request: the feelies, opening for SY this summer, weren't that great. they sounded very "same-y", we joked that they had two songs and played them for an hour. decent, jangly punk-pop. now i'm not a feelies fan and i have no emotional attachment to the music so YMMV. there were definitely a lot of people eating it up at the show, but i have no need to see them again.

Has anyone heard about a presale for this show? The LiveNation site isn't showing anything and I didn't get any emails from anywhere.

Don't forget the bulk of the Feelies' stuff is out of print except for "Only Life". I think most people don't even know "Crazy Rhythms", which is an incredible record, WAY ahead of its time. I know, the old fart is sounding off again…but I think the Feelies at 9:30 will be a really good show.
By the way, the Feelies are playing in Philly. Anyone been to Johnny Brenda's or whatever the venue there is called? Thoughts?

co-sign
only thing making me waver is that $60+fees is a lot of change, especially with the pogues a few days later at a similar price

that was some bullshit, kept getting error messages as i pulled tickets until 10:10 or so.
ended up with orchestra level row Q, right on the middle aisle… could be worse (first few rows of the lower price point), but i'd have liked to have been up front
