had never been to the Charlottesville venue The Southern…. not bad except for a grumpy worker running the place….I got a little lost on the drive in but only missed about 15 minutes of Jonathan Richman's set.. I was freakin' out about the deer on the way back up….already wrecked one car by deer. Really not a bad drive except for the part on 66 getting out…. doable in a little more than two hours…

So 4+ hours of driving for a 90 minute set? Nice!

kinda wanted to go, but last night wasn't the night
Went to RNRH and OTTO shows. I really enjoyed both. I saw Craig play these songs online, solo, acoustic, so that is what I had in my head as to how the songs sound live. On this tour, with the full band, it was an actual loud live show. Great energy.
The OTTO show was sparsely attended but still just as fun, and my girlfriend is much better company than Bagley.
The opener, Esme Patterson, was very good too.

good to hear, really was hoping to make that show but couldn't. Good to see he's pretty much only doing new stuff, instead of 1/2 the night filled with HS and L/P songs

but he was
Going faster miles an hour…
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on
I'm like the roadrunner
I'm in love with the radio on
It helps me from being alone late at night
It helps me from being lonely late at night
I don't feel so bad now in the car
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Like the roadrunner
That's right
So it does kinda make sense and come full circle

totally worth it… I knew I'd get a chance to meet him at this smaller venue…
its been two and a half years since he played DC and I've only become more of a fan….. when I saw he wasn't going to play DC AGAIN I knew if I could muster up the energy I'd drive down there…and I did..yay me!
its weird but sometimes seeing shows outside of your stomping ground makes it more memorable…it makes more of an impression on you whereas if you see somebody at the 930 it all eventually melds together somewhat…

FWIW…I'd totally be up for a road trip to C-ville for a show like that…but on a school night is a bit too much for this old man

I had never seen Craig Finn or the Hold Steady. The show reminded me of Greetings-era Springsteen. Appreciated Craig's energy and his guitar player was very good.
Quite a change from the Sufjan (whom I'd also never seen) show the night before, which can best be described as ethereal! (except, of course, for the odd Drake cover)
How was PiL?
I learned an important lesson last night: the moment you're walking out the door is not a good time to look for tickets ordered three months ago. So instead of rockin out, I watched the gop debate

I hope they were better than the Sex Pistols reunion, which was my worst show ever.

Why you gotta make me hurt even more? When I cut, I bleed, Darren.
I thought the show was AWESOME>. I got a lot out of it.. whereas when I saw PIL a few years ago at the 930 (last time they were in town) I did not think it was all that and a bag of chips
U ST HALL was perfect…..crowd was into it… Lydon really seemed to be having fun and dug the crowd/place
they played 15 songs.. so one more than most recent shows…for me the highlight was religion…there was one song I could not place midway through the show that was also awesome and had the crowd singing
such a treat…
nice seeing Bearman and Sidehatch

Completely agree with Hutch…it was one of those shows that was a little hot, a little too crowded, but at a certain point I forgot where I was and started remembering this was the band whose logo I wrote on all my notebooks when I was a kid before I could afford to buy any of their records so I had to resort to taping their songs off the radio whenever I heard them. Lydon's voice was incredibly strong. There were really only a couple of sorta weak moments, but they just made the other songs that much greater. The mind-bending version of "Religion" blew away anything from the 9:30 Club show 5 years ago. Seriously, that was just insane. It was nice to hear stuff like "The Body" and "Public Image", neither of which they did last time. Scott Firth, the bass player, was VERY good. During "Religion" I'm not sure Jah Wobble could have done it better. When they turned the bass down and distorted the hell out of it, that was exactly the sort of thing that makes me so glad that I make the effort to get out and go to concerts even when sometimes I'd rather not. Very glad I got to see John Lydon actually smile and look content too. It was a fun night. Great to see Hutch and Sidehatch too!

that patriot center show was horrid, but I thought the 930 one was rockin'
Goddammit
…also saw a mr Ian Mackaye hanging out by the merch table
found this tid bit in an interview with Ian
have you met Johnny Rotten?
He didn't speak with me, so I didn't meet him, I guess. Minor Threat did open for P.I.L., October 31st, 1982, Ritchie Coliseum. We played for a pizza and a case of Coca Cola. That was our payment that night. When we came off stage, they pulled up in a limousine after us. It was sort of two ships passing in the night.

Johnny Lydon - Net worth $15mn
Ian Mackaye - Net worth $25mn
