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)

Kinky
Hell no/
Sign O the Times (Prince)/

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.

Still sounds like a great show!

Guess I was wrong too. Funny I just spent the last hour looking for Bill in Neil Young videos on the tv

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Ah, now I see his cap clear as a bell. Guess I never expected him to be *that* far from the rail

[glennrwordman]

You blew it, man. You and Mrs. Wordman could have had your first fight.

Oh, it's even WORSE: I mentioned the song, not going to the show where they played it, etc...and she said, she...said..."Of COURSE you could've gone." A LOT of lessons learned, man!! (Like, trust that your good relationship...is really good!)

Absolutely. I had a great time and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Glad you got at least a good show, Bubba. Those school night shows are a definite challenge in our declining years.

[vanark]

Yes, a good show. As was said, it started a little slow, but got moving eventually. I was surprised at the lack of commentary, but we did get a F*ck Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III from PH eventually, which led into Cooley.

No encore break - they decided to just stay on stage an play through to the 2 hr. mark. Okay by me as it kept things moving.

Josh Kantor came out during LTBR - made a note to myself at the time.

I do have a nice recording that I'll have up by the end of the week. Work getting in the way this week.

Real nice@ But did you get this backwards? "Despite their deep blue state heritage, they’ve tackled issues of race, economic equality and injustice from a decidedly deep red perspective. "

[tinnitus photography]

you are correct.

thanks for that! i get confused w/ the 'better dead than red' Colonel Flagg comment from MASH.

[John A Arkansawyer]

you are correct.

I still think of red as left-wing. I'm almost as bitter about that being stolen from the left as I am the word 'libertarian'.

[walthers]

You take some really great photos, patterson looks possessed! Nice work and thanks for sharing.

[tinnitus photography]

thanks all!

[chuckrh]

Huh? Either you edited the article or I am deeply, seriously confused.

Phantastic photos as always, tin. Thx.
