Social Distortion October 28th??
Originally posted by sonickteam, forum nice guy:Great ending…I had a really fun time, and the crowd, though tall and very "Social D," was really fun and quite easy to deal with. I had more problems at Death Cab with the OC kids who don't yet know concert crowd etiquette (all trying to maintain their space perfectly and getting petulant when they believed it was being encroached upon…). A fun rock n' roll show. I find Ness great, he's so very….Ness.

Originally posted by muschi:The drummer was a hoot. I hope he hooks up with a real band someday. The singer was a complete joke. Like some sort of mutant cross between Steven Tyler and Fernando Lamas, but without any actual talent.
i happened to like the opening band "bullets and octane", btw, good job.
didn't know the lead singer of the Darkness was a cigarette… i too remember being in high school…
I thought the Dead 60s were great. Really great.
I also liked the DJ set after the Dead 60s. The Dag Nasty was especially nice.

i was in crushing distance of thatguy [the big bouncer guy who i saw in a kilt pict on this board a while back], 1st time i saw him after learnign of him on this board. i wanted to reach out and offer to shake his hand but i was afraid he'd crush it! besides im sure he'd be like "who the eff r u??"
ps where does he take all the ppl he carries over his shoulder? outside? or some alternate universe-netherworld-purgatory sort of place - full of virgins*, like maybe somewhere down by the backbar?99.9% of the people that crowd surf are sent right back around the end of the barricade to the crowd. we have a catch and release policy, as long as they aren't causing any trouble. last night, one patron got a do not pass go, do not collect $200 trip out the back door for being an asshole. that doesn't happen often.
side note: based on years of observation, i don't think that there are many virgins in the backbar.
It was great to hear Bye Bye Baby and King of Fools. I don't think those make the set list very often.
Mike Ness seemed like he was in a great mood after being sick. Did anyone else see him tear up for an instance after talking about Johnny Cash?

Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:if you're talking about me, i don't need no mic. i was singing louder than the crowd without one. might just catch me doing it again tonight.
there was an unofficial sixth member of the band last nite, shame he didn't get his own microphone. you know which guy i speak of :D
great show last night. sd is always a good time. i've never seen them play a bad show. i missed hearing prison bound, with its new intro utilizing dan on the organ, and when she begins, but overall i was pleased with the setlist. i put a bug in a couple of ears about prison bound, so hopefully it will make an appearance tonight.
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:Yeah, I couldn't see shit. I'd be curious to see the alcohol sales of this show vs. other shows. The beer really seemed to be flowing - morons were walking by with four beers, spilling half of it on their way back to their spot…
wow one seriously tall crowd at the show, i'm guessin 75% male for this one….
I really wish this show was on a weekend. I had to take it easy since it was a weeknight, and I'm going to see BSS tonight also. Still an awesome show though.

you ask and you receive. Social D was fantastic last night at a packed Sonar. and they played Prison Bound!!! wooohooo.
the crowd was pretty insane, we were about 2 people from the stage and it was pushing/shoving/mosh pit/crowdsurfing central, but well worth it…i am very tired.
i have nothing to say about the Dead 60s or Bullets and Octance cause SD was so killer i cant remember a damn thing about the other two bands!!!!
oh and for me.. show of the year!!
Man, I should have been there….
i was very happy that they added prison bound and the creeps. that slowed down honky tonk intro to prison bound makes an already great song so much better. still no when she begins, but they were playing other songs from that album this time that i hadn't heard in a while, so it's all good.
i had a great spot back by foh away from the heat of the crowd. i'm too old to be banged around up front and getting roof sweat dripped all over me if i'm not getting paid to be there. i could watch sd play every night and never get tired of it. i'm seriously considering a trip to the west coast to catch some of the end of the tour.
rumor mill time: the band was planning on cancelling today so that they could do the atlanta shows following. the make up dates for philly, state college, norfolk, and anything else that gets cancelled will most likely be rescheduled for the spring. since they will have to come back to the east coast anyway, they are planning on doing another run of the whole coast. most likely back at the club. hopefully more than one night.

Originally posted by thatguy:Man, if they make that April, I'm moving the reception to the 9:30 and asking Ness to dedicate Ball and Chain to my little lady. And then ducking.

I had tickets to Philly, so that is great news. Damn, I hope that they DO come back again. They seem to always pack them in, so why WOULDN'T they keep touring? They must make some bucks that way, plus I always try to convert new folks to their music!
Great scene this morning as the wife was bringing me my 800 mg of Ibuprofen and a banana that I forgot to take with me before leaving for work. I'm sitting in her 4-door Camry, in my suit, listening to Social D and she hands me the pain killers and says "You're so not a punk anymore." Classic.
Great Social D show last night. First time seeing them in SF (usually I catch them over the holiday in OC or LA but this time they played SF in Nov instead of December) and the pit was surprsingly active for what is normally known as an extremely polite concert crowd (SF that is).
They played a ton of stuff from the new album which was good to hear. "Nickels and Dimes" was one of the more active pit songs. More importantly was "When She Begins" and "Sick Boy" back to back. That pretty much assured me Ibuprofen for the next 2 weeks as my back went out. Gotta give that shit up at some point. He also added a Hank Williams cover, which is always nice of Ness. He claimed to play a song they had never played before about being stranded in Bakersfield, but I think the net will expose Ness' lies. The tribute of "Don't Drag me Down" motherfucker to the cocksucker President Bush was a nice touch.
I thought the piano/organ was unecessary for the most part, but I'd give a pretty penny for Ness' Orange County emblamized Les Paul. Mark my words, I'll have one of those some day.
It was good to see Ness let Jonny 2Bags have a bigger role. I was growing a bit tired of the Dennis tributes and always felt a little badly for 2bags when Ness did that. It's clear Ness realizes that 2bags can play a lot better then Dannell ever did as evidenced by the number of solos he let 2bags have.
I thought the Dead 60's were all right - you could really feel there music - literally. Especially the bass. I'd see them again. The other opener was a band from Orange County called The Johns - never heard fo them and didn't make it in time to see them. Shows how out of touch I am with the OC these days.
