The DC show was pretty awesome. Lots of people were just as stoked about the opening band Malady as they were about City of Caterpillar. It was a very energetic night and the crowd had nothing but love for all the bands. The merch line was the longest I have ever seen at the Black Cat. For any band or show there ever.

That was a crazy line for Merch!
COC would make a incredible instrumental band, was a little put off by the vocal
but it was fun and the crowd was into it…always enjoyable when that happens
Personally I though Malady was kinda weak, but wada I know
Frank did not let down, show 2006

Anyone else go to Run The Jewels tonight? Zach De La Rocha showed up at the end to guest in on two songs. Pretty great moment!

Oh shit really! Damn. I had tickets for last week but had to get rid of them because I could not make this short notice reschedule. To see Zack do both his tracks might have been worth saying "fuck it" and go. It really pained me to miss this as I have not missed an EL-P related concert in DC since 2007. Zack must in town to protest Trump methinks.

this is America . . . we only listen to people who are "now relevant." people don't care about gore anymore; in 5 minutes from now no one will care about Bernie anymore and they sure as shit don't care what zack thinks.
maybe zack should fight soulja boy.

totally my thinking too
its amusing to see all these "progressives" now freaking out about Trump.. where were they???? where the fuck where they?
And i am thinking they will get their way and have the 76 year old Bernie on ballot in 2020.. and I think he will lose.

Really fun show. Glad I was able to record that first song. I saw that he was coming out alone, and thought, this will be something new/special.
Vermin Supreme is a pretty nice guy.
It had been so long since I'd seen Mike Mesaros playing bass with the Smithereens I had forgotten how much he has been missed.. he really brings an extra power/drive to their sound…
Really cool songlist including 7 out of 10 songs from 11
I saw Kubacheck but he was way up front with his Luna shirt…. Pat I think even mentioned him at one point.. something like "How's it sounding Joe?"…. I guess he really is a hardcore Smithereens fan…
Pat has lost significant weight… but I guess has some issue with his arm.. he did not come out for the signing after the show….maybe due to that fact
I enjoyed talking to the Jim, Denis and Mike after the show…all in all a pretty special night
They seemed really happy to be playing together again…

^^^ ha!!…. I know Pat a little bit through my friend Joe, who Pat was actually acknowledging in that exchange, he's the hardcore fan…. I'm a step down from "hardcore", I just always have a great time at a Smithereens show… last night was no exception…. one good thing about going to the State Theater half of the annual State Theater/Rams Head weekend is that since they're only doing one show in Falls Church, they go all out, the show was about 2:40ish long…. Mike was definitely having a great time and it was great having him there…. last year, Pat didn't have the use of one arm due to a fall, he told us it was because he fell down on the ice and had nerve damage…. this time, it seemed like he didn't have the use of either arm, so it seems like there's something seriously wrong…..
Going to late show tonite at Ram's Head. Always a fun show.
Pat DiNizio looked horrible, sounded great. Two unusable arms have to make life very, very difficult. He was obviously very tired during 2nd show (openly yawning during guitar breaks). I was hoping that he would've been a little healthier since last years shows, but it looks like his nerve condition is getting worse. Anybody know if he's still undergoing treatment and what the prognosis of arm use is?

How as that Flo/Matthew White show, old sport?
