That was the 4th time I have seen them. My moshpit days are long past. I'm content now to sit in the back with a tall frosty and let the kiddies lose their hearing up front.
Had some friends go to that show. Funny thing was--


--some of them brought their teenage kids.


How was Mudhoney at that show? Haven't seen them in a looonngg time, and I found their shows to run from really excellent to kinda pedestrian...depending on the night.

Fish on...

Fitz of Depression opened for them at The Capitol Theater. All three put on a pretty good show. I've seen all three bands put on sucky shows at one time or another, so maybe they were sober that night. I dunno.

It was going pretty good, we were ducking next door for drinks between sets until some dumbass drunk jock climbed onstage and took a swing at one of the security guys. After that they closed off re-entry. I expected the Melvins to quit playing or start to play all slow & sucky on purpose like I've seen them do before, but they picked right up again and finished a great show.
