I went. They were awesome. They did a lot of audience requests. The show was pretty much sold out. My ears are ringing!

Dexateens on Saturday at Mom's Basement in Birmingham. I've heard good things about the bar, but I've never been. Pics online look like this place is way too small for a Dexateens show.
For some reason I thought they had “retired”
They don't play often. Last night's show at Mom's Basement was glorious. I've listened to old downloads of wild sets at Egan's in Tuscaloosa and always wondered what it would have been like to have seen those shows in person. Last night was how I'd always envisioned those. This was only my second time to see the band with John Smith.

Venue was very small. There was no stage. The drum kit was set up in front of the snack machine. Elliott ventured out into the crowd early and often, dragging cords behind him. The crowd was energetic, but well-behaved. Band was fast and wild. Setlist was similar to the Live at the 40 Watt album.

Toward the end of the set, past band member Nikolaus Mimikakis took the mic for three songs. It started with someone walking through the audience with a cowbell before the band slipped into Honky Tonk Women. Next was Rocks Off, then Bitch. With horns. Two trumpets and a sax. The horns were fun, and the young sax player absolutely tore the roof off the place at the end of Bitch. Jagger would be proud of Mimikakis’s moves.

Chatted with Matt for a couple of minutes. He said he'd set up sound for Wednesday in Water Valley that morning before hitting the road to Birmingham. He said Nik performed in a Stones cover band which explains the choice of three Stones covers.

Nice, shlanky. Glad the show lived up to expectations. No doubt the 'teens can rip it up.

Well, here I am in recovery mode. Pretty good show, 2 hours 45 minutes on the button. TBH I thought they were better in 2016. That's not saying they were bad this time. I saw an epic show in Portland (Ridgefield) in 2016 that would be hard to top. Part of the issue was a sort of lame Seattle crowd which happens a fair amount. Let's call them second encore people. For instance there were no woah, woahs in Push & very few hands in the sky during FTEOTDGS. For the most part I still can't understand Robert when he talks but he's very clear when he's singing. His voice was great. He must be taking care of it better. The pacing was a bit weird & Robert admitted it (I understood that). He said "fook me I shouldn't have followed 100 years with Lullaby". At times there were too many mopey songs in a row & the show ground to a total halt during Another Happy Birthday. I'm on the fence about that song. The other new songs were very good.
Reeves blew me away again. It's not just the featured solos but also the little fills he puts in songs. If you isolated his guitar there's some mind blowing stuff in there. He's definitely in my top 5 guitarists. My faves from the show were: Burn, Hungry Ghost, Night Like This, Forest, FTEOTDGS (Forest & FTEOTDGS were totally mighty), Want, Shake Dog Shake & 100 years. So overall it was a good concert. They sure were selling a ton of merch. Robert must've put his foot down about the venues adding money to it. I bought 1 shirt at the show & ordered a few more this morning. I'd go see them again & hopefully with lessons learned this time the ticketing will be less chaotic. I managed to sell my extra outside to a nice (unfortunately married) lady for face value. She enjoyed the show too having never seen them before. She was 10 years younger than me & definitely more into encore 2 which is fine. I'm glad I didn't have to eat the ticket.

really bummed that i will be out of the country when they play... was hoping to get to photograph them again (it's been a while, since 2007). they are a fantastic live band but like you said, sometimes pacing/set list choices can work against them.

saw Elder's hometown PVD show last night, support by Ruby The Hatchet and Howling Giant. All the bands sounded awesome, good to see Nick and Jack tearing it up in their old stomping grounds in front of a full house, friends and family and newcomers alike.

last night marks the 15th time that i've seen Elder, in 14 different venues (only TTs was a repeat).

They did 10:15 Saturday Night/Killing an Arab last night in Vancouver. Missed it by 1 night! Would've been a bad night for the start heading to the car during Boys Don't Cry strategy, haha.

Next up for me is Social Distortion in a club first weekend of July. They sold out 3 nights here & could've played a bigger venue but wanted to start the tour in a club. Should be good.

Agreed. All three bands were LOUD and great. Elder brings it live. Was pleasantly surprised by Ruby the Hatchet. Lead singer was like a metal version of Stevie Nicks and their cover of Quarterflash's (complete with sax!!!) "Harden My Heart" was fuckin' killer.

Interesting bill. We've got Pixies/Modest Mouse/Cat Power coming up here. It's in the arena which seems like a bit of a reach. My next show got postponed. Social Distortion first weekend of July. Mike Ness is being treated for tonsil cancer, so the tour & new album release have been pushed back. Luckily they caught the cancer early.

Wilco is doing 2 nights in a theater here in October. I'm only going to one & I got $40 tickets (low). I can't do 2 nights in a row anymore. I have a rule that second nights are better most of the time. I've done 2 nights of Wilco before & it was great. I wish I could do more Cure shows. They were really great. I'm taking a pass on Neil Young solo. He's playing a horrible venue from a traffic standpoint & no band. I've seen Neil a real lot.

Last time I saw Social D, I learned that indeed I am, too old for the mosh pit.
Love each other, Motherfuckers!
