Bumbershoot 2005

I'll take what I can get for that price.
 
 I saw Iggy in a small club perhaps 15 years ago, and he was great. Had Steve Jones on guitar.

  They're playing in a soccer stadium. That counts as inside, no?

Let me clarify that, I would want to see The Stooges in a club. [/b]

He's got Mike Watt on bass these days.

NKOTB and I saw Iggy at 930 a few years ago and the show was excellent.  The man was like an 8 year old who just ate a bag of sugar.
 
 Either way, Bumbershoot looks like a good time this year.

Don't have the time today to write up a long boring review, but here's my ratings of the shows on the Rhettdork (0-10) scale.
 
 Note: Flogging Molly/ Ted Leo double bill was impossible to get into, so we had to replace it with Okkervill River and Keren Ann
 
 Devotchka (in Vancouver) 9.0 Somebody please book this band for DC. Their show is simply sublime.
 
 Bumbershoot:

 Dolorean: 5.0
 Math and Physics Club: 3.0
 Common: 4.5

 Elvis (solo): 4.5
 
 Monday:
 Decemberists: 8.0

what was the setlist like?
 
 new son volt? solo? old son volt? uncle tupelo? or all of the above

We were only there for the first 40 minutes of their 90 minute set.
 
 I believe most of the songs we heard were off of the new album, with one off of their debut (Loose Strings). No Uncle Tupelo in the first 40 minutes. The band sounded really tight, and the sound was excellent (the venue normally plays host to the symphony and opera). And nonsmoking and seated to boot.
 
 All in all, much better than when i last saw them in 96 or 97.
