Well, I'm only gonna get there a bit before doors open because I'm going with a short friend and dealing with 2 previous Wolfmother shows I know that if a short person is stuck in the middle of a crowd they could seriously suffocate.

Undoubtebly I'll have pics and vids of the show tonight, enjoy the show and have a safe and well-protected Wolfmother Wednesday!

Yeah. No doubt. The large, ahem, organ. :D

;)

fun show. andrew has a beard. chris somehow spun his keyboard 360 in the middle of a riff. the pit was full of sweaty smelly fratboys, had to bail on that (slammin' like it was punk). the band sounded great, main set was 1:20, encore was another 15-20 (although definitely not as strong as the main set). good strong performance, but i came expecting as much as i wasn't blown away, just suitably impressed. completely missed the openers, so i can't say anything about die!die!die.

i'd write more, but i've got to catch a few zzz's before getting on a plane in a few hours. talk to y'all next week.

That show was pretty frickin awesome. Its the first show where I actually thought that I might need to get some ear plugs. This morning, my ears are still ringing.
I was glad to see some actual movement from the crowd last night. How can it be that there are so many people just standing still and expressionless at these show? Why did they even come? Its like a giant game of Make-Me-Laugh.

Maybe to hear the music and watch the show? Duh.

I was one of the people standing and enjoying the show. Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. I was however, moving my head and may have even been tapping my feet so maybe I wasn't as offensive as others just standing and watching the show.

By the way it was a good show and it was my first smokeless show at 9:30 which made it even more enjoyable for me.

You can always grab a napkin from the bar, rip a couple stips off, and roll them into earplugs

I agree on needing ear plugs, it was the loudest I've heard the club. All in all great show. I saw them last year at Vfest, and I think the band is much more suited for a venue like the 9:30 club. I really liked the new song they played- I'll give you anything (don't know the title.) Any one have or see a set list posted?

I thought it was good, not great. The band sounded right on, but they seemed a little tired. I was down on the floor and the vibe I got was that people were ready to explode but that the band never got much momentum going. There were some good corkers in there, but often they'd slow a song down and the energy would lag. I'm glad I went, but my buddy and I were remarking afterward that this was not a show where we were appreciating the value of the whole thing.

I thought Die!x3 pretty much blew

I thought it was a very good show, but possibly short of great. Wolfmother gets good marks for playing a 90-minute set, considering that they really only have one album. Unfortunately, that means they tried to extend some of the songs, which, as Relaxer pointed out, doesn't always work. I think the crowd is partly to blame though. Anytime the band would stray from the power chords and into some psychedelic noodling, the people around me would start conversations with one another. They did this even during the middle of White Unicorn. But you need that extended ethereal pause to serve as a counterpoint and a prologue to that headbanging breakdown that comes at the four-minute mark.

Nonetheless, it was a solid set and I would go see them again in a heartbeat. Anybody that namechecks Trans Am as their inspiration for picking up the electric guitar is all right in my book.

And I liked Die!³

That was the best show i've seen Wolfmother play and that was my 3rd time seeing them. They were spot on, I wanna say the Black Cat show was better, but that shit last night was fucking stellar! Only downside was getting tons of drinks spilt on me and drunk chicks tripping, falling, and grabbing my arms.

Totally awesome though.

I had heard that they were covering Communication Breakdown in their shows, so I was really hoping to hear it. Not hearing CB was really the only downside for me. (Anyone know if they played it at Black Cat? I really wanted to go to that show but couldn't due to exams :mad: )

I didn't really mind the "psychedelic noodling".. gave me a chance to look around and see anyone was going to bump into me within the next couple seconds. Maybe they've played better shows, but I thought this was pretty good.

What really surprised me was the bassist… he had so much energy, was always rocking the keyboards back and forth, whereas it seemed like the guitarist/singer was less relaxed and was more focused on singing the notes exactly right.

I agree on needing ear plugs, it was the loudest I've heard the club.

I think a lot of it depends on where you are in the club. Like if you're in the back and most of the stacks are blowing in your face.. it's going to be pretty painful (at least it is for me).

I remember I went to Slickee Boys a while ago, and I didn't really want to go up front because I thought it'd be louder, but once I got up there, I thought it was more bearable. (Maybe I'm just crazy, but try moving around and see if that helps).

Did they play anything in the encore after Colossal? I left because I was worried about catching metro but I guess I could have stayed. Really fun show, though.

From someone who loves a good pot of psychedelic noodling, people like that drive me crazy. It's just so rude! Even if you don't like it yourself; or whatever is being played; you just shut the fuck up out of courtesy to the band and everyone else.

To Wolfman1979:

What do you expect? You're the Wolfman and it was Wolfmother Wednesday. You hit audience Rock star status. Of course you were going to have your crazy groupies falling all over you. :D

I mean…. I wasn't going to brag or anything…But alright.

It's pretty funny how easily some of y'all get offended (Charlie N., jeffml).
The point I was trying to make is how amazed I am that, at almost every show, there are people not being a part of the event. Look, if you went to the opera, you'd expect a certain amount of decorum from the audience and you'd certainly call security if some guy started slam dancing with your wife. It just doesn't go with the situation.
Similarly, when I come to the 930 club to see Wolfmother kick some ass, it doesn't make sense that there are people standing stock still and emotionless for the show's entirety. I just don't buy the whole "I'm appreciating the art" bit. Even an opera crowd will smile at some point, but no one ever accused a mannequin of having a good time and that's all I'm looking for.

Or maybe…just maybe…people have different ideas of "having fun" than you do. Shocking!

I look stupid when I dance, so I usually stand still.

you probably look stupid when you dance too. Most people do.
