I'm in!
-
is this the fourth or fifth TCV roll call? i've lost track.
-
I'll be there ;D
-
Yup. And I made the decision to avoid listening to any of the recordings that have surfaced so far. I have absolutely no idea what to expect tonight (though I have an idea). Really looking forward to it.

Same here. Haven't heard a note. Can't wait though.

I'll be there as well.

Leaving shortly for the show.

i wonder which bigwigs will appear in the VIP section tonight?
-
I won't be in the balcony. I'll just be mingling with the plebes.
-
Thought more people would be outside selling tix. Very low key outside the club.

couldn't of put it better myself. great show!
-
Needs a little more hair, but otherwise - spot on!
-
Really enjoyed them. There was maybe a one song lull in the middle but otherwise I thought it was really good. More queens-influenced than anything else, I think. JPJ is such a bad ass.
Had my 1st 930 club cupcake this evening, too. Pretty tasty. The folks around me - an older crowd for sure - seemed awfully confused by it.
-
yeah, that could have been new queens material . . .but the band is really seamless . . .everyone playing lead together. . . JPJ, Dave and Josh play at FULL STRENGTH off eachother and every song was good . . . contrast to 'sideprojects' like Raconteurs or Velvet Revolver where the big guns play at a diminished capacity and the songs are hit or miss . . . .these guys really seem meant to play together . . . it all fits so naturally . . .and rocks yer balls off
-
excellent show. everyone on stage was a bad-ass, but JPJ gets top billing in that department. was that a 10-string bass he was playing at one point?!? and that slide guitar thingy (almost looked more like a Stick (http://www.stick.com/instruments/) held horizonatlly) with a built-in kaoss pad that he used during "nobody loves me" was awesome.
set list (which i could see from my spot in front of the soundboard) was virtually identical to the austin show. highlight was "warsaw", the last song they played. that main riff was HUGE. unfortunately towards the end of the song it digressed into pointless guitar wankery. i though "interlude with ludes", the weird number that had JPJ on the keytar, was the low point of the show. the missus said it was her favorite number of the night, so there ya go.
i wasn't a huge fan of the mix, for the most part. i thought drums and vocals were a little too loud, guitars just a tad low, and the bass wasn't really cutting through clearly. the first time JPJ sat down to play keys he was way low in the mix. i kept looking over to the sound tech, and eventually during a lull in the other parts he noticed and fixed it.
it got really hot down on the floor, and that was about as packed as i've ever seen the club.
-

that guitar wankery at the end of the last song was one of the highlights of the night for me, b/c the guitar was playing of the huge bass riff and grohl was locked in too . . . i thought they were all ln the zone together on that last jam
-
Pretty enjoyable show, I'd say. I'm generally a grump when catching bands play mostly material I haven't heard, but I never really got bored, except maybe the keytar song. From my spot, I could only really see JPJ, but then again, he was the only guy I haven't see live before, so that was ok.
That second song they played was a rager, but a lot of the material sounded a bit too "generic rock" for me. Doubt I'd get too psyched on the album, but it was a fun show. Agreed with everyone saying it sounded like Queens outtakes...maybe that's why I wasn't too into a lot of the songs. Didn't mind that last jam, though...those guys were really going at it.
All in all, for a sheer vanity project, they were surprisingly tempered. Having no encore was a good call, IMO.
-
Encores need to be abolished as a whole.
Stupidest rock show tradition ever.
Agreed on the "great show" sentiments. And I doubt anybody was more skeptical than I was going in.
That last jam didn't sound like wankery to me, either. It was very tight and they all did sound locked in. Very tasteful as far as improv goes.
-
This was my third time seeing 'em, plus I've spent the last couple of days blasting the Stubb's show in my car. This show was my favorite of the three, combination of the small venue and knowing the songs pretty well by this point. I think Dave and JPJ may be one of the most ferocious rhythm sections ever.
-
Pretty good show. The place was jam packed. I didn't bring my camera because I thought the no camera policy would be strictly enforced. So when TCV came on everyone and their mothers had a camera. Taking pics and videos left and right. I just now noticed the policy was changed later that night. Great, just great. Overall it was a great show and they sounded great. Didn't notice anyone with a cat t shirt ;D
-
Very good show. Totally agree with whoever said it could be new QOTSA material. There was some stuff where the songwriting was slightly "amateurish" - it sounded like prog rock written by very technically competent high schoolers. But those songs were in the minority. Overall, an incredibly tight show by some of the most talented musicians in the industry. And it may have been THE best drumming I've ever heard from Grohl.
-
Awesome show!!

Wow. Philly, Boston and Detroit are all on Dime now.
Come on DC!
Yeah they played the same setlist at every show and I can d/l one of them and pretend but it still won't be the same. :)

i was upset, wml7 :'( . . . i couldn't find my funny cat shirt so had to settle for a trey anastatio shirt. then it took me 3 hours to get from my house to the club, due to the worst 66 traffic i've seen in a while. got there at 8:30, fought my way to the lower right bar for the show. great sight line, awesome sound, hard hitting "generic" rock show. kid in front of me taking the world record of fucking pictures with his fucking iphone the entire fucking show. jesus, how many fucking pictures from a fucking hour and a half show do you need?? according to his screen, by 10:15 he had taken almost 200. and right when the boys took the stage, some a-hole (literally) decided to let a god awful fart that covered a twenty person radius, causing people to hold noses and look around in disgust at any guy next to them. anybody catch the girl being dragged out from the front half way through show . . . and josh's lovely comment, "you people having a good time, because i can't tell. i love being in this band." thought it was hysterical to look up at the balcony to see a sea of frowny faces attatched to people in stone still frozen shadows of people who should be having a great time.
i love dc, for the fact that after the show, i went down 9th, turned on g and stopped at the pizza by the slice place between 13th and 14th, sat in my car listening to quiet after show music in my car eating the best pizza at that time of night. great night.
-
I'll echo pretty much everything said in here. Great show. These guys know what they're doing.
Seeing Dave drum is one of the highlights of my concert-going life. The dude is intense.
I can't really say which songs stood out, as I only recognized the three they released teaser clips of. But the whole show was great. I'm so glad they don't go along with the bullshit encore thing most bands do.
Got a handshake from Dave after the show. Good guy.

I prefer the Jumbo Slice at 13th and U and the Real Original Jumbo Slice in Adams Morgan (not the Original Jumbo Slice a block away... the really dumpy Arab-ran one).

It isn't playing more songs when you plan the encore as a regular, guaranteed part of the setlist. In that case, it's the same as TCV planning their whole set, and not including an encore.
Why leave the stage and make the fans cheer for five minutes, when you could just play another song in that time?
-
Ding ding ding. How many actual real encores do you think you've seen in your life (i.e. not planned ones). One or two, tops?

Super Furry Animals played a semi-legit encore in New York a few weeks ago.
Other than that, none. When the encore break is specifically written in the setlist, it's lost all meaning. As much as I love Wilco shows, their standard two encore deal is a bit frustrating, especially when the offstage time inches closer to the venue curfew.
-

uh, to give band members a 5 minute break? so they can:
- rest their throats/fingers/arms
- consume drinks/drugs/etc
- change shirts
- talk/plan the encore
- take a step back and gauge the crowd
- etc
encores have become the modern-day intermission - just shorter, people don't have time to file out of the room and then back in. in the end, i'll bet they allow the band to play longer and us to get more music than if they played straight through (90 minutes straight through, vs. 120 minutes with two 5 minute breaks... i'll take option B).

yup, that sounds about right. best one i ever experienced was peter gabriel, montreal forum, summer of 1992 or 1993 - he did two encores, and after 10 minutes the crowd was still going bonkers, ao he came back out a third time and did a dreamy solo version of "biko" on the keyboard with the proviso "fine, one more, but this is to calm you lot down so you finally go home!". it was beyond awesome.
-
This is as nancy-sounding as wearing ear plugs.
Changing shirts? Resting? I thought we were talking about rock bands here?

Precisely why encores are completely retarded.

and your take on this sounds really self-centered and greedy. what, give the band a break? they've only been screaming, sweating and jumping around for 60 minutes! I DEMAND MORE ENTERTAINMENT NOW. NO, I CAN'T WAIT 5 MINUTES.
i've seen lots of band members come out in fresh shirts for the encore.
and i suspect that i'm in the minority here, but not wearing earplugs when you're going to be on a loud stage night after night is about as responsible, in my books, as not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle. you're free to do it, maaaaaan, but you're risking your well-being to look cool... and stupid. but whatever, go for it. musicians don't need to hear well, right?

There was no need for anyone to have worn earplugs last night.

Also, I'm ok with bands wearing ear plugs. My "nancy" comment was addressing the crowd. Unless you're azaghal and see shows every night, MAN UP.

Ugh. Y'all make me want to spend more time on Facebook, and as it is I've been avoiding that stuff more and more lately.
Sounds like everyone needs to go shoot smack, chase it with some 'ludes and then go huff on some exhaust from a '54 Chevy.

Sure, they sounded great without earplugs but my ears were a-ringing this morning. Same story after Alice in Chains. And I was about half way back on the floor for both. Probably not a good thing.

probably not, but on the upside you MANNED UP.

Agreed. StoneTheCrow, you're ok in my book.
Seriously, changing your shirt? This isn't Barbara Striesand. Did Joe Strummer change his shirt?

I'll just pretend I didn't just read this....
-
Seriously, changing your shirt? This isn't Barbara Striesand. Did Joe Strummer change his shirt?
no, but off the top of my head i can remember that trent reznor and thom york have. i know, i know, they don't meet with your hipsterific approval ("sell-outs", "pussies", etc), but that isn't the issue at hand - the question is whether an encore can serve the purpose of allowing an artist to get out of their sweaty clothing. having seen both these bands previously on the tour, i can assure you these weren't wardrobe changes - they were artists who had sweated their asses off in an over-heated venue, and appreciated the opportunity that the 5-minute encore afforded them to get in to a dry shirt. i've seen other musicians to it as well. i'm not saying it's the main function of an encore, it's just one of the reasons an artist might appreciate a short break.
anyhoo, this isn't about "proof", and neither of us is going to change the other's mind. i'm a nancy, and you're self-centered - so let's get back to talking about how great the TCV show was :D
-
i coulda skipped the opener but tcv was great. i had trouble hearing the lyrics over the music at times but didnt really bother me. LOVED dave on drums, need to see more of that. thanks again rat ;D
-
I thought the opener was pretty awesome.
But I'm a sucker for quirky beatlesy psych-pop.

if julian's america didn't get you banned from this forum, this might.
-

Agreed. Definitely not what I expected when I read the opener was QOTSA's bassist's band. But they were great, I though.
-
Yeah, they were pretty decent. I made the comment (and this is no judgment one way or another on their music), but they're one teen drama soundtrack away from being known. Half of those songs would've been right at home on the OC. Not sure I cared enough to listen more, but they were definitely enjoyable.

Just to be clear - I own earplugs. Semi-expensive ones.
They. Ruin. Everything.
-
Agreed. Ear plugs are for vaginas. Or for My Bloody Valentine holocaust
-
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure putting an earplug in a vagina wouldn't accomplish much.
But I bet the MBV holocaust could cause vaginal stimulation.
-
Anyone seen a recording of this show?
-

I was right next to the speaker for the holocaust section at the National. No ear plugs but was tone deaf for two days it was AMAZING, not the tone deaf part though ;D
-

weird there isn't any clips on youtube from the show. I saw people hoarding left and right
-
Is this based on experience?

I'm not at all interested in youtube clips. I've avoided them entirely (except the official teaser clips), and I'll continue that. But I am a bit surprised if there aren't any yet.
However, I would listen to a good quality recording, seeing as how there is no TCV album to fall in love with after the post-concert high.
-
The Detroit recording is the best I've heard so far. Boston is kinda muddy....haven't heard Philly yet.
Anything better than Detroit available?
-
I think the Stubb's show (dime) is the best I've heard, but I'm basing that on not hearing any other US ones, only ones from Europe.
-
i enjoyed the music, but not their voices

This was on the NPR blog:
We're recording the show. The band will mix it and, if they like what they did, we'll have it online soon. Stay tuned.
Scroll halfway down..

Someone posted a comment on Dime on the Philly show page saying that he/she taped the DC show minus 1.5 songs.

nice. except the "creepy" song about kids that paul sings in the start of the special, it was a hoot.
-
Im all for the Manics rule of no encores. Hell theyve been doing this for awhile now and it works and its not some 10 song set they play. Its about 17 songs (if I recall) - and even gives Nicky a break while James plays acoustically. The band (which is not so young anymore) still has the energy and by the time theyre done - thats it. They gave it their all and that is what is needed.
And sorry - unless youre the Pet Shop Boys or Erasure and have elaborate sets and costumes - there is no need to take a 5 min break to change your shirt. And this does not refer to bands like REM and The Cure or any other band that has a vast supply of albums and will play for 3 hours. Sure, of course they need a rest.
Ive also seen the Dandys do their lovely 3 hour sets - I think the only breaks they took - were really when Zia left to go pee.
But I see so many bands playing 10 songs (sometimes less) and then walk off for 3 mins to come back. Thats just so not needed. Im sorry - youve got 2 f'ing albums and you need an encore. How about you play and we decide if we wanna see more. It was funny to see Airborne Toxic Event walk off to never come back and play their encore they had listed. The crowd was awful.
-

was this the NY shows or the DC show? i cant remember last weeks set.
i agree, i dont like the fake encores either - just play all the songs. if the band needs a break, just say so and take one like the dandys do or let one person play something acoustically while the others have a break.
i've noticed most crowds at shows here leave as soon as the last song is played. many really begin to filter out about 1.5 hours into the show. i dont leave until the lights come on and the techs start removing equipment, unless i dont care for the band
-
Cali - That was a NYC Airborne show - but it wasnt either of their 'scheduled' shows at Webster Hall. It was some show being promoted by Rolling Stone magazine the night before their first show at Webster Hall. It was some guestlist-only party, which was really a bunch of 20-somethings who must have consumed mass quantities of free beer, because every other sentence out of their mouth was 'I am so drunk. Lets make out'. And then theyd all push and shove to the front just so they could talk and make-out with each other during the show.
I was beyond horrified and the lead singer of ATE didnt look too happy either. RS really messed up - the place was half full and since the doors opened like 3 hours + before ATE came on - most people were _really_ drunk.
Electric Touch opened and apparently that was a train wreck as well.
I missed most of the early excitement as I was watching the Kings get their ass handed to them by the Rangers. Truly horrific night!
The ATE covers were quite good, but they did play a lot of them.
Im with you on not leaving till the lights are up and Im literally being told I have to leave. I was pleading with security at Roseland as one of the techs was trying to get me a setlist from the Pysch Furs. Alas, no setlist for any of us.

Sorry for checking in so late. Had a great time. Good to meet you cali. Shawn (shaun?) and Emily congrats again. See all y'all at another show soon.
-
Seems like every show they've played so far has a recording out, except DC. Was club security that strict?

There is a recording of the show on Zomb, not as clear as philly but still nice to have..

Yea, I found that last night. It's decent enough quality. I guess the Philly show is the best recording so far? I might have to download that just to have the best copies of the songs 'till the album comes out.

Like many interesting artists, experimental collective Man Man are stylistically all over the map. On their latest effort, Rabbit Habits, they continue to combine Eastern European sounds with punk, rock, jazz, and anything else they can get their hands on. Along with their equally elaborate and decorated stage show, Man Man are just the thing to bring a little eccentricity to your Friday night.

Agreed. I forget who was coming into town, but in one Volume, one of the band write-ups directly lifted from one of my posts. I thought that was pretty cool actually.
-
That is awesome.
-
I caught that, too.
Hilarious.
-
Would be nice, and only fair, if they credited the poster, even though it's only a screen name.
-
They should do a Boardie of the Month in addition to Staff of the Month in Volume. I think that'd be pretty hilarious.
