Dag Nasty last night was pretty fuckin awesome. When I was 16 and missed the cubby bear gig I never realized it would be 28 years before I had the opportunity to see them. When the show was first announced I was really hoping that they were going to have Dave Smalley on vocals, not a big fan of the Dag With Shawn version of Can I Say. But he changed my mind last night, he's amazing live. And of course, Brian Baker. I mean, what else can you say?
Now, I'm not normally one to doubt how much of a fan anyone might be about any given band, but as I saw it, roughly 75% of the crowd just stood there staring at the stage, not even bobbing their heads, and giving a golf clap in between songs. I didn't get the feeling that they were there because they like the band. Like the guy next to me... he just stood there motionless the entire time EXCEPT when they covered Minor Threat, but after that he pulled out his cell phone and left. Didn't make sense to me. I'm not saying they had to be moshing and stage diving, cause well, the median age appeared to be about 45 and that could kill most of us, but show some excitement dammit! And kudos to the old farts that WHERE moshing and crowd surfing. I hope you're not TOO sore today lol.
