That’s great


Not to complain cause we have it pretty good but we rarely get these sorts of surprises


Still buzzing though that YLT played goin down the road feeling bad last week…

Sold out Feelies show at the Ottobar.  Very long and solid show from The Feelies.  Played usual 2 sets, but with 5 encores.  Show came in at 3 hours with 1/2 hour break between sets.  Showed started at 9 so was a late night (for me anyway). Sound was great, band played great and really enjoyed the song selection.  Almost the entire encore were covers (Doors, Dylan, Yardbirds, Stones, REM, Television (2), Patti Smith and Kraftwerk).  Wish they would've started at 8 or combined the 5 encores into 2 longer ones, but other than that I'll take 3 hours of music for $25 bucks from a great band.

I've seen the Feelies a lot of times, but this was one of my top 3 favorites probably. A really special evening…great performance and apparently they showed up feeling cranky but got so much love from the crowd that it snapped them out of whatever they were feeling. It was clear that they were really happy and enjoying themselves. Great to see some boardies there…and for being a very sold out show, everyone for the most part was pretty well-behaved.

The last time is always the best…

So, to me the Feelies show had the feel of a tribal pow wow with Bill, Brenda, Stan and Dave providing the pulsating rhythms and Glenn murmuring the incantations.  There were Kachina dolls present on one of the amplifiers as well.  We left before the Patti Smith cover of Dancing Barefoot but that would have put the icing on the cake.

I thought the first set was on fire with 4 songs from the Good Earth, my favorite Feelies record.

Agree with Sir Van Der Palm, an earlier start would have been nice.

Also, we were graced by the presence of such illustrious boardies as Challenged, Vas Deferens and of course Bearman.

Sir, I (sporadically) write Julian’s America so I want you to understand I am qualified to speak when I say: you are a bit high on your own supply.

Sunset Rubdown. Thought Krug & co were excellent and that Howard's sound was solid. Set was 1.5 hrs and had a nice mix of all 3 proper albums. Excited for new material down the line.

I mean, Krug is still fine, but its nowhere near the Champagne house it once was.

LOL

Skinny Puppy: I had no idea what I was getting into

Was it rough? Are you hearing impaired now?

It wasn't too loud, though that may be a function of my hearing catching up with a lifetime of concerts. I really had no idea what this band was about. It was just an impulse buy for a show at the Fillmore by band that didn't suck at first glance. I wasn't expecting aliens.

I eas into Skinny Puppy 35 years ago. My 20 yr old self envies you, my current self feels sorry for you.

felt like I was there

- Why do people go to concerts and talk through the whole thing? Can’t they go to the movies to do that like everyone else?

- So far this is a damn good show but it’s a mostly goth crowd so every one looks bored

- Memo to everyone: Bauhaus has more than that one shirt design.

and I got some photo confirmation that an alien was on stage

at some point it appears they removed his brain

Doug Martsch is a gawt damn guitar god… so underrated and so good.

The new three piece all female rhythm section absolutely crushed last night… old classics, a couple newer tunes, and a brand new single.

The club was probably at 75% capacity,  a absolute pleasure to be in.

Spent another evening with this same band last night… It makes me happy that Doug can still roll through town once a year and pack the club. It wasn't my favorite setlist of the last few BTS shows I've seen, but all in all a great show. A killer cover of The Mountain by The Heartless Bastards as well.

Also met boardie legend Bagley, a true gent!

Twas an honor and a privilege to make your acquaintice Yada.

Quite the power trio.  A very tight unit indeed!

Carry the Zero's a classic and they nailed it. 

Opener was good too.

Sorry I missed seeing you all last night at BTS! It was my first time seeing them and I thought they were great.

NOT great…forgetting my wallet! Not a big deal, but the whomever was walking around was a real asshole when I went to the bathroom and washed my hands. Made me walk back and get the stamps put back on, which frankly, was a little humiliating since I'm 45 and old enough to have a 21 year old. I know them's the rules. A little less rude would have been appreciated. I was not attempting to purchase, hold, or drink alcohol. In fact, I was drinking water and coffee.

Been coming to the 930 since before I was legally able to drink and never was accosted like that by staff before last night. I get that I could have been someone checking on them, etc….just maybe treat us old ladies with a little more respect when we clearly forgot our wallet, had a picture of my license on my phone, and wasn't interested in consuming alcohol.

Had I not witnessed a woman super inebriated on shrooms or coke or something and being served multiple beers on Friday night at Caroline Rose, slamming into everyone and almost went over the railing, I don't think it would have been that big of a deal.

That sucks Keetebug

You missed my experience being escorted to the lobby at YLT story…I also didn’t like how that was handled
