Sonically BRILLIANT! Visually flat. I still loved every minute, but I think the casual fan was very disappointed (lots of after show muttering). SLINT unfortunately had zero stage presence, no interaction with the audience or each other, very little movement, and lots of 'dead air'.
Pinback per usual ruled.
Pinback, yes-they were good. Rob Crow (?) does that chordal bass thing that I like. The double bass action. Nice. Is Dianogah the most influential band in the US?
I actually liked the fact that there was little interaction with the crowd. It made this experience all the more surreal and disorienting. Especially after the long drive: Am I really here? Seeing Slint? etc etc. The crowd was good- and the 'heckling' was usually kept to 'best fucking band ever!' and the like. I think that was David Yow in the balcony.
Y'all are in fir a treat!
If that was Jeremy Lemos doing sound, salut to you! If not, salut to you, whoever guy was doing sounds!
