I don't know why the use of the "mandatory" was necessary. Did I have to make a crack about Milford? Nope. But, more to the point, yeah, I have seen Crown Street (a much better example than York) on a Saturday night. I've just never seen those people at a Dinosaur Jr. show. And there were a bunch. It was a joke. <BR/><BR/>The crack at the performer next door was essential. He stunk. If you're going to play badly on purpose, at least tune your guitar. It only takes a minute and will prevent some headaches. I mean, really, there's nothing funny about someone trying to sound bad. It's just annoying. Unless you're in first grade of course.<BR/><BR/>Dinosaur Jr. never played Toad's "right after they reunited." They played Toad's about 18 months after they first reunited. And, if you remember, that show was a day after all their equipment got stolen. It was an odd concert. Heck, Lou Barlow's bass still had the price tag on it. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure which one of those two was the better show, but the set list at Daniel Street was far better because "Beyond" is out and they've returned to playing tunes from when Lou was not in the band. <BR/><BR/>As for Wednesday vs. the last night at Toad's, the one last September. It's not close. Toad's was just a better show. And that's no fault of the venue. It was a better setlist, there were no technical difficulties and the band didn't have a new record done, but refused to play anything on it. <BR/><BR/>I am not knocking Daniel Street at all in this sort-of review. I like the venue a lot. I wrote great things about the show on Tuesday. But there were tons of technical difficulties last night. J's guitar had issues if you were listening closely and anyone who was there knows the show was cut short because of Lou's bass head. Also, the stage was too small for J's rig. And with exposed brick walls (which are cool looking), you're going to get a muddied sound when it's really, really loud. It's just the way it is. <BR/><BR/>As for alcohol thing. I understand this. Although, there are ways around it with random, moveable walls, etc. But the point is, and what I said, was that I would have made the show 21+. You can disagree; that's cool. But there were maybe 10-20 people there under 21, and a lot more money would have been made from the bar. (I know the show was a rental). Dinosaur Jr. is not a band that attracts many under 21 people. I would imagine the no alcohol thing kept some away, sadly. But, more importantly, we wouldn't have gotten most of that silly moshing. That was the most unfortunate part of the show and something that didn't happen at either of the two Toad's shows (it started twice and security stopped it) - or any of the seven or eight other times I've seen the band post-reunion. (It never happened pre-reunion either, but there were never many people at those shows.)I mean, do we really need kids rushing to the back of the venue with blood running down their faces? That happened Wednesday. <BR/><BR/>That's it. Take this for what it's worth. But some of you guys just have these weird notions that a negative comment about anything at Daniel Street means I've mocking Milford or saying the worst things in the world. I'm not. I'm giving you the opinion of someone who's been to way more concerts than you have and seen Djr or J way more than you have (25+ times). <BR/><BR/>-pPat Ferruccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507378203154843677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31725117.post-36854218723821566502009-04-03T01:26:00.000-04:002009-04-03T01:26:00.000-04:00It was a great show.
