Welcome to the new forum
Alex Van Halen is 72.
Very under eighty drummer in my opinion
Thought the Bob Mould show was among the very best I've ever seen him do. J Robbins is an awesome opener, and it was a great time...but Bob's performance really was superlative. I felt like that was the closest to Husker Du that I'll ever see. It was relentless, a truly powerful show. And better than what I saw in New York, which I felt was already pretty fantastic. It also highlighted how his last string of 6 or so LPs really are some of his strongest and most consistent work. Some of those songs could have easily held up on a Husker Du record..."Next Generation", "Fireball", "You Say You", "Losing Time", "Hard to Get", "When Your Heart is Broken"...those are some incredible songs.Yes! ''Relentless'' is the key word. At 64, Mould is still a ball of fire. He was soaked in sweat by maybe the third song of his set of 26. I've enjoyed his solo shows in the past, but when he's with this band it's on another level. Wurster makes the most of every drum and cymbal in his kit.

Great energy from the stage, for sure, but I always forget how sub-par the Black Cat is compared to other venues.
