I'm going. And it's a first date so I'm glad there will be people I know there in case I feel like I might get chopped up and thrown in a dumpster. Yay!
Rooooy, can we pre-party :)

Sure hope so! We're gambling on the door to avoid $6 Ticketbastard fees. 30% of face for fees? Areyoukiddingme? I just refuse to play the game :)

I am going to Dinosaur Jr, and if you get tickets while at another show, like when I was at the Heartless Bastards show at the Basement, you can get tickets for even Lifestyle/Newport shows and they then will charge $3. They even promote that fact now perhaps to silence some of the on-line purchase grumblings.

You could always buy tix for other shows at any PromoWest venue when the box office was open. And they used to be for face, no fee. So that pisses me off too. What am I paying you $3 for?!?

I think I saved about $24-$32 on 4 tickets for the Avett Brothers show by buying them from the box office at the Newport. It's open during any day that they have a show. It was worth the trip to skip those convenience charges.

Awesome show last night.
I tried to come up with a second sentence. But I can't, my mind is still kinda blown by J. Mascis's guitar playing.

I loved the show but a few of my friends who arrived later didn't realize that Lou Barlow was opening as well as playing with Dinosaur Jr., and they were sorry they missed that part.

I thought the show was great - very happy they played some old stuff for us old folks in the crowd. I thought the crowd lacked serious energy; that was a little disappointing. Usually the crowds in Cbus are great. It is really amazing how great 3 people can sound.
I wish J's vocals had been a little louder. All in all, though, a great show.

After a rough start thanks to the Schneider of sound guys (One Day at a Time) working the boards, the band sounded beautiful, transcendent even. This cat had the tool belt and the ass crack pants and was extremely unfamiliar with the distinctive sound of Dinosaur Jr. There’s no way to make J Mascis sound ‘normal.’
I wanted to post yesterday but my mind was blown, the show was that great. Schneider redeemed himself by giving me the original set list at show’s end, printed in alternating green and purple:
Thumb
Budge
imagination blind
get me
pieces
plans
out there
over it
feel pain
lung
freak
gargoyle

heavenTwo days before the Columbus show, Dinosaur Jr played DC’s 9:30 Club, the complete show is online at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113550890. NPR called the new Dinosaur Jr album Farm “a collection of brawny, melodic rock songs that many rank among the band's best†and I agree.
I hope someone more knowledgeable posts about the foot-operated distortion board J used this tour, I’ve never seen anything like it. He’s widely known for a distinctive and strangely beautiful feedback-drenched, distorted guitar sound and collects vintage foot pedals by the dozen. But this thing was huge and looked like a Lite-Brite mated with a video game.
Many better writers than me have described J's ability to segue from melodic dreamy solos to head-banging monster sound that could fill an arena. But to me the band sounds best, and seems most comfortable, in places like the Newport.
Lou played in his stocking feet and although I didn’t expect much, he seemed glad to be back and rocked without inhibition. There was heart and soul and the audience felt it; the music was pretty much perfect. Murph was tight and had super-sparkly green drums. There was no nostalgic vibe, everything sounded fresh and new, born again. J’s hair looked fantastic.
