Post by: Unsanity on September 29, 2011, 02:33:47 am: Damn that rain was intense! Missed Helen Money due to traffic n' weather. Got there in time for Shellac. Cool to hear 'em open up with "Copper". Fairly short set though only an hour and 15 mins. Those guys are crack ups and I love the q&a sessions!

Post by: azaghal1981 on September 29, 2011, 07:20:15 am: Sweet. I guess we (Joe and myself) only missed a song or two at most. We left at 11:25 so that I could catch an 11:40 train that did not show up until around midnight.

Awesome show. Helen Money was cool but the novelty of a super electrified violin got old fast.

Post by: Got Haggis? on September 29, 2011, 09:25:59 am: yeah, great show...but i felt it was a tad too short. Agreed about Helen Money...I enjoyed her set, but it was probably too long.

Ian MacKaye and Ian Svenonius spotted at the show

Post by: bearman🐻 on September 29, 2011, 09:28:49 am: Sounds like it was a good time. I love Shellac. I used to go over to Steve's house and buy their merch. I'm bummed I wasn't able to go.

Post by: K8teebug on September 29, 2011, 10:37:32 am: Was a good show! It didn't seem that short to me, but it's probably because I'm getting old and it was a weeknight, and I wanted to hear the end of the Orioles/Red Sox game (which I got to listen to one the way home). Always great seeing Shellac, and there were some good questions.

And to answer the emulsification one....pour the oil in a slow steady stream while whisking constantly :)

Post by: Sir HC on September 29, 2011, 11:43:43 am: "I'm a plane".

To me that was the highlight of the night.

Such intense music makes a much longer set hard to take. Sort of like when Fugazi was doing 2 hour + sets.

Post by: bearman🐻 on September 29, 2011, 11:46:28 am: Oh wow, they played "Wingwalker"? NICE.
Title: Re: Shellac Rollcall!
Post by: Vas Deferens on September 29, 2011, 11:54:05 am: yeah, LOOK AT ME, I'm a planeeeeee!

thanks again bearman for the tix.

Post by: bearman🐻 on September 29, 2011, 11:59:55 am: I'm so glad that you had a good time. That's a great show. Awesome!
Title: Re: Shellac Rollcall!
Post by: Vas Deferens on September 29, 2011, 12:02:37 pm: yeah i don't think anyone left that show disappointed...

They didn't use one (mostly gestures and chords to choose songs). A lot of the classics, and Q&A was a lot of fun.

Post by: azaghal1981 on September 30, 2011, 06:49:51 am: I left a song or two early and was wondering if anyone remembered one.

I don't know the catalog well enough to say all they played, but have to assume some there could rattle the setlist off...

Post by: Vas Deferens on September 30, 2011, 11:24:09 am: they didn't do Wingwalker in philly, that's for sure!
Title: Re: Shellac Rollcall!
Post by: azaghal1981 on September 30, 2011, 11:51:58 am: Yeah, I think that's a rarity.
Title: Re: Shellac Rollcall!
Post by: Sir HC on September 30, 2011, 01:43:24 pm: They seemed to really have a blast doing it.
Title: Re: Shellac Rollcall!
Post by: K8teebug on September 30, 2011, 02:48:05 pm: That song was fantastic. My husband's all time fave.
Title: Re: Shellac Rollcall!
Post by: bearman🐻 on September 30, 2011, 03:39:56 pm: The first 2 7" singles they did are probably my favorites. I LOVE the song "Doris". Incredible drumming. One of their signature songs, and they never play it live.
