Shellac DC Show Review Thread

I too, along with a few friends, was/were (respectively) standing by the sound booth. It was decently loud considering you were standing about 45 feet from the speakers. I still don't get the foo fighters reference for guitar tone. Steve's guitar had waaaaay more high end than any of the foo fighters sounds.

Also, count me among the members of bands not trying to rally crowds during the song. Steve is animated enough, if he would've said "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!!! YEAH!" I would have left.

i enjoyed the show.

todd calling everyone in DC "conservatives" and railing against bearded, tattooed and body pierced fashionistas made me fucking cry it was so funny.

and I recall a joke that nearly tops the david yow jokes I have heard come from none other that bob weston!

I think it had something to do with microwaves.

I'd never seen uzeda, but i was excited that agostino, aside from being a fucking ferocious guitar player, was playing an electrical gtr. through a traynor! hey, that's my rig too ;)

and uzeda have a very interesting democracy going on about them. they were challenging, textural and moody, and easily one of the top five tightest bands I have ever seen play. jesus christ were they tight.

shellac was great too, obviously. i wish there were vocals where vocals are on records, and "this is a picture" was played at 16rpm (did anyone else notice this?) but bob, steve and todd interfacing with the audience was priceless.

I noticed this too. Same thing w/ a lot of the other songs, like "Copper Song" and "A Minute". "Squirrel Song", "Wingwalker", and some of the newer ones that aren't on record yet, like "Steady as She Goes", seemed about the same to me, though.
