Like Doc in nyc, JetBlue is helping me beat the storm back to boston in time for the show but is there any word about potential cancellation? I know the storm's supposed to be bad but the total accumulation predictions I've seen don't seem that terrible.

You guys be careful up the snow!


I never saw a report or setlist from the Quebec show in English or French. I think the French have like 73 words for 'Surrender', so not sure how SUP would translate. :lol:

I'm no meteorologist but I'm not sure a NE tour in February was the best idea.

Just good timing. Or bad, as the case may be. Came here to say I was coming to the show and went to check the venue for an update, and they had just posted the news.

The one upside to this is that it might make it easier to actually attend. I didn't want to drive tonight and was not hopeful for the reliability of the bus/T.

From Patterson:
We made it to Boston in time for the blizzard. Bummed our show is postponed but want everyone safe. See you Sunday instead. Stay warm. It's a SOB out there.

No good answer to this one. Still riding last nite's high so it would be great to do it again, but damn it's ugly out there and getting uglier. Honestly don't know what I'd do if it were my call but whatever the band/promoter/venue decide I suspect there are going to be plenty of pissed off people.

If nobody else has one, I have a mostly complete set list. But that and commentary will have to wait 'til the am. Excellent show but just couldn't match Saturday's, which is in no way a complaint or a diss.

Once i got downtown it was clear why they didn't cancel the show: Conditions were not bad at all and much better than in the suburbs. I would say they made the right call.

Guaranteed to be mostly correct:

Guns of Umpqua
Ghost to most (note to glennr: always go to the show)
Tornadoes
Surrender Under Protest
Darkened flags
WWW
Ronnie & Neil
Ramon
Sinkhole
Filthy & fried
Righteous path
Uncle frank
Gg allin
Marry me
Ever south
Made Up English oceans (w/ rap about J Sessions/col beauregard)
What it means (w/, surprisingly, no intro at all)
Imagine
LTBR
Kinky
Hell no/
Sign O the Times (Prince)/
Hell no/
People who Died (J Carroll)

Josh Kantor played keys for the end of the set, starting around LTBR or maybe Kinky; a couple of the crew played guitar on People Who Died
2 hrs, almost to the minute; no opening act (Kyle Craft was originally scheduled but couldn't make the make-up date)

Unbelievably male dominated audience, a throwback to the crowds of like 2008 or so. About half full, maybe a little less; not really surprising for a sunday make-up during a snowstorm of a show that did not sell out originally but still disappointing after the NYC show the night before. Band and crowd started slowly but by the end the band had wowed the crowd into something close to a frenzy (by half full club standards).

Hilites included Marry Me, Kinky, GG Allin (not usually a fave of mine), Righteous Path and Ronnie & Neil. Cooley & Hood (espy Cooley) were at their best giving some shit to Jeff Sessions: "What's a guy named Jefferson Beauregard Sessions supposed to do when he's born too late to own slaves?"

As I said last nite/earlier this morning, a very fine, very enjoyable show, just not equal to Saturday's blow out.

Forgot to say that Patterson apparently forgot that he wrote White Knuckle West VA, as he introduced "Tornadoes" by saying "we don't have a song about a blizzard but we do have one about a tornado."

Lesson learned. On the other hand, I'm still married, which I would surely NOT be if I was in Boston last night! :lol:

The spousal units typically become acceptant around the 25th show. Keep pluggin' away.
Now it's dark.
