Live from Lollapalooza:
Some Massacre moments:
-Brian Jonestown had the huge honor of being introduced by the man himself, Perry Farrell. Perry praised singer/songwriter Anton Newcombe and BJM proceeded to rip a 45-minute set on the Parkways Foundation Stage.(from lolla site)
An hour-by-hour report/ blog diary, from
USAToday.com
-Members of the Brian Jonestown Massacre (stars of the movie DiG!)
being shuttled
via golf cart to another area of the fest.
- Lead singer Anton Newcombe raising his beer can to toast the
mothers of the world
- Newcombe had a few choice words for Dashboard Confessional, who
could be
heard playing across
the field. "You
can go (expletive) yourself," he said. "Party over here, (expletive)
you over there."
- Newcombe continuing to criticize Dashboard Confessional, saying he
would use the
band's photo as "birth control" and promising to start his next song
"as soon as Jon
Bon Jovi shuts the (expletive) up"; and
- Newcombe pausing to tell a "dirty joke" to the crowd. (The joke in
its entirety: "The
white horse fell in the mud.")
The group constantly debated how long to play but ended up fulfilling
its 60-minute
promise with several songs and two 10+ minute jams. Posted 5:30 p.m.

It was the Warhols who put forth the biggest surprise. In what could
serve as the
perfect ending to the 2004 musical documentary, DiG!, the band
brought rival/
inspiration Anton Newcombe to the stage and sang a tune by his band,
the Brian
Jonestown Massacre. Newcombe and Taylor, who haven't shared a stage
in years,
shared a microphone on a second song before Newcombe left the
spotlight.
