When I got to the doors of the venue J. Mascis was standing there talking to a friend (I assume). It was really hard not to bother him.
Support act was that woman from Come, Thalia Zednik or something like that. I was never able to get that band´s bit and for the most part I couldn´t get into her solo stuff either. But to be fair there were a few songs there that were pretty good.
I didn´t bring earplugs to the show (I was advised to but having survived Ham concerts without them I figured they weren´t needed) and I don´t have a buzz in my ears now. The concert was still loud. In October I went to see The Melvins play in New Haven anc compared to this they were singing a baby to sleep.
It was clear that the band was having so much fun on the stage and that the hatched has been buried. I read on the Dinosaur Jr forum that they played a post Lou song, The Wagon, for the first time at their New Haven concert at Toad´s Place three months ago. Last night they had added to that and also played Out There and Feel the Pain.
When I was walking out of Pearl street I almost walked into Thurston Moore.
