I've seen Mission of Burma play 5 times in air conditioned / good sounding clubs, and I think the only song I've never seen them play live off of Vs. is "Weatherbox". I'd rather not stand in a herd of people in 90 degree weather just to hear them play that song.

If you saw MoB at the Double Door, then think again.
They played almost all of Vs..

Maybe you were talking to your friends and didn't
hear those songs?

I'm going Friday only. I can't tolerate more than that. There are some great bands I'd like to see, but I'd rather just see them at a club.

I'm essentially hanging out all weekend because a good friend from Oakland whom i haven't seen in three years will be covering the weekend's craft tables for Venuszine. You yes, BadComrade, i will be socializing during this event. Awful, isn't it? Whatever, i get to hang out with a pal and see Les Savy Fav and HEALTH. AND go see The Dark Knight at the IMAX on Saturday night!

Also, FYI, the Friday of Pitchfork is my birthday. Everyone buy me overpriced beers.

Wow. 1991 - Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan. Would probably give up a small body part to see that '88 show. I did see MoB at Pitchfork whenever they played, two years ago or so. It was excellent, so my hopes are up. I am afraid that PE will be, shall we say, an odd dynamic.

Nice!

I saw Redman, Big Daddy Kane, Common Sense (now Common) and Tung Twista (now Twista) with one of the only two whiteys in the entire audience in maybe '93? Rudy Ray Moore (Dolomite) was the M.C., and he was talking about killing white people, as my canadian accomplice sunk lower and lower in his seat.

man that was one hell of a night.

that said, the T&G festival had the same number of shitty bands as Pitchfork. it's not really that different at all, you slags.

I hated most of the bands @ T&G.

big fucking deal.

Even white guys can enjoy Public Enemy, y'know.

They were one of the greatest groups in the history of popular music.

Comrade, maybe you'd like to join me next time I visit Atlanta. There are some great hip-hop clubs there that my friends and I like to check out. It's so awesome... just us black folks.

Very much looking forward to Pitchfork. I don't see how it's much different from the Go! Records Festival of the mid 90s. Something for everyone, decent beer.

They were really great in London and I heard the same about the show in Glasgow.

It's a good show, I doubt you'd even notice the audience.

original seBADoh.

Yep- I'm there.
