On top of this awesomeness J has a new solo album coming on Sub Pop. “Mascis is currently touring Europe with Dinosaur Jr. and putting the finishing touches on a solo album for Sub Pop Records”.

So awesome.

Awesome.

So hyped!  Still hoping the Ft Collins show gets uploaded too.

This song killed it at both shows.  Song of the day.  Concert of the year.  Album of the year.  Band of the last two centuries.

Pre Dinosaur Jr Pizza fest in Boulder.  I only ate one slice.  Sorry Gordon.

Lou Barlow & The Missingmen.  Wasn’t so hyped on the Boulder show, but they killed it in Ft Collins.

A couple photos from the Boulder show.  Both shows were awesome.  The setlists were quite a bit different.  The highlights from the Boulder show for me were Thumb, Forget The Swan, Raisons, Pieces, I Want You To Know and surprisingly Freak Scene.

Little Jack was there.

Reed was there too and even bought me a beer.  Sick!

Here’s the setlist for the Fort Collins show:

Thumb
Leper
Kracked
Imagination Blind
Get Me
Pieces
Plans
Pick Me Up
Feel the Pain
Over It
Little Fury Things
The Wagon
Freak Scene
Gargoyle

encore:
No Bones
The Lung

On a scale of 1 – 10 Ft Collins was a 50.  In the top 5 shows I’ve seen in my life.  It was so good that no one could really speak after it was done.  They didn’t play my dream setlist but they did play my request of Leper for Zach.  So sick.  The sound at Aggies was much better and it was way louder.  Ft Collins rules.  They played Gargolye for a long time and ended it with this crazy noise that seemed like it would blow out an amp.  Between songs they jammed more then I’ve ever seen and seemed as happy as ever.  I hope they keep it going.

I just emailed their manager requesting the following setlist at the show next week:

Bulbs Of Passion
I Want You To Know
Thumb
Pieces
Plans
In A Jar
Crumble
Get Me
Imagination Blind
Little Furry Things
Over It
The Wagon
Freak Scene
I Don’t Wanna Go There

encore

Lose
Kracked
Sludgefeast

We’ll see what happens. I could go without hearing Freak Scene for the billionth time, but oh well, the crowd loves it.

Pretty much as epic as it gets.

Maybe it’s more like song of the century, but that would be competing with every other song on Farm which absolutely and completely kicks ass. The part where the song really starts rocking at 4:55 is mind blowing every single time. It explodes into a solo that takes you into outer space and then you get destroyed again by the next tune ‘I Don’t Want To Go There’. Best album ever? Maybe.

I need one of these for the wall!
