hey everyone..question. on pollstar.com, it lists Social D at the 930 on october 28th.. Yet it is not listed here? is this show sold out and/or cancelled?? They are also listed in Baltimore at Sonar..but I haven't seen tickets available for that show either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Social Distortion October 28th??
This looks like its been updated. Thanks anyway everyone…
Just got my tickets…God I cannot wait for this one.
just got my ticket!!
Always brings a smile to my face when they play DC.
I had seen them a lot growing up in The OC, but hadn't seen them in years upon moving to DC. When they finally played the 9:30 in 2001, it ruined my life.
Not because they were bad, they were amazing actually. But the show caused me to stop lurking on this board and finally make a post. 4000+ posts and countless wasted hours later….I'm 3,000 miles away and still posting.
By the way, we get 5 nights at The Filmore of Social D in November. Cue Nelson…Ha ha!

Whoah…I would probably be there all 5 nights too. I am bummed we're only getting one at the 9:30, I would have bet money we would get at least 2. Sigh. They would have sold them out too! I am debating going up to Sonar, but I am just not thrilled with that place. It's OK, but at a sold out show it's not exactly comfortable. Plus I find that the smoke in there gets to be overpowering.
For Vansmack…

I know it's an early roll call, but who's going? I'm off to see them at TLA in Philly tomorrow night. I wish they were playing more than 2 nights, but given my work schedule, I'll barely be able to make it to the Tuesday show. That being said, I don't give a damn. I'm THERE.
Rumor has it I'm going. :)
Yeah…I think I heard that somewhere too ;) I've been on my total Social D kick lately. I'll be especially happy if I get to hear "Cold Feelings" which is becoming more rare in the setlist these days.
DAMN IT!! All 3 shows in Philly have been cancelled. I hope that this doesn't screw up DC at all. ARGH.
what happened?
From Social D's website:

Well, looks like they're on for tonight. Thank GOD…plus, given that they're going on at 10:15 I should hopefully have enough time to leave work, go home, change and make it to the show. Bombay, I'll look for ya (I'm usually stage right) and Bags I'll look for you too. I hope that they've fought off their ills and will be back with a vengeance!

I'll be at DC9 at 9:30 if you get over early and aren't heading right to the club to stake out your space.
well let me be the first to say the Soc D show tonight was really ALRIGHT!! Another constant in life that doesnt suck. in other words, thats a ringing endorsement.
again munchy scored sold out xtra tix :-) fu tktmstr
i left any "ball and chain" behind and went alone. eff it this time, i dont go to talk.
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?
i happened to like the opening band "bullets and octane", btw, good job.
*in heaven why would i want virgins? i'd want a woman who knew what the hell she is doing. this is how i know religion is bullshit. glad i could clear up that centuries old debate on religion in one fell swoop.

wow one seriously tall crowd at the show, i'm guessin 75% male for this one…. luckily i was able to secure a good vantage point in the balcony when arriving right before SxDx.
first time seeing SxDx since that killer triple bill with Neil Young & Crazy Horse & Sonic Youth. Became a fan when bands liked this could actually get airplay on the radio and having been waiting for a recent show that wasn't soldout or a Warped Tour date.
yet another band from yester year stomping on the new and "hip", solid tunes with little rest between numbers. 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

I was right infront of "big bouncer dude" and I can tell you one douchebag he carried out over his shoulders was escorted from the club for trying to start fights in the front for no apparent reason other than the fact that he was highly intoxicated.
Anyway, that aside, it was an awesome show. I snagged a copy of the setlist, here it is:
Reach For The Sky
Highway 101
Under My Thumb
Bad Luck
Mommy's Little Monster
Sick Boy
Mass Hysteria
Bye Bye Baby
Diamond in the Rough (new)
Don't Take Me For Granted
BALL AND CHAIN
King of Fools
Nickles and Dimes
—————————–
Footprints on my Ceiling
Ring of Fire
Story of my Life
Not as good a set as the Allentown PA show I saw back in May, but still a great show. Even the opening bands were good.

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.
